Born with Polydactyly & Syndactyly Syndrome

Polydactyly Syndrome is extra digits (thumbs, fingers, and toes) Syndactyly Syndrome is were thumbs, fingers, and toes are fused or webbed together. I myself had 6 toes and webbing on both of my feet. I had surgery to remove my toes, still have 3 of my toes webbed. My son has both Polydactyly & Syndactyly Syndrome on both hands and feet. I am creating this group to connect with familiar people with the same experience to share journeys, information and support each other and to get awareness.

Hello

Hello this is my son Leo, he was born on November 10th 2023. He was born an extra digit on each hand. I feel like I have no idea about it or how it will be treated.
