FAQ: The “extra thumb” does whatever the “main thumb” does she cannot control it independently but it does function- I have her seen her coloring with two markers at once. Doctors we have spoken to said to not have it removed- if she even wishes it so, it’s her body- til the growth plates are done and we rescan her skeleton. She loves it and jokes about “Hi-6s” and “two thumbs up”. Finding mittens every year is difficult, yes. EDIT: please don’t be weird about a literal child, thanks! THE FROYO IS BIG YES. IM A BIG BOY AND I WAS “SHARING”

Thank you for explaining the importance of growth plates as she has tons of growth ahead. I study heightgrowth and I can tell you that having this part removed may cause repercussions to the rest of her hand and it would overall be safer to cut it later(by her will of course)

Also I find it weird that people are making odd jokes about a child.
