Even though you could clearly see Sam's special big toes on the ultrasound no one mentioned anything and we never even gave his pics a second glance until recently. The next opportunity to grasp Sam's big toe awesomeness came when the NICU nurses who were 'checking' Sam after being removed. I guess its not everyday those nurses get to see double big toes. At the time my focus was on Sandra considering her insides were on the outside but that didn't stop those ladies from holding their own show and tell with Sam in the corner.
Fast forward to today...
We went to see a specialist at JH now that we have some X-rays. What fun taking those were. For some odd reason Sam is not down with anyone trying to restrain him in anyway. It only took Sandra, myself, and a couple X-ray Techs to capture these great shots below. The good news is it only looks like one extra bone in each toe since the middle bones have fused together. I figure this could be the only logical reason why Sam only has one gear while running...slow. As we thought surgery is recommended for Sammy.
