'My Feet Are Killing Me': Dr Vincent's youngest patient Waylon has 12 toes and struggles to find fitting shoes
Waylon Pullis is an active baby but his parents, Jessica and Kody, think that it would be best for him if they treated his 12 toes. Waylon has six toes on each foot and Jessica revealed that he has a problem while walking. There have been times when they found it hard to find a pair of shoes that would fit him perfectly.
Since Waylon has more toes, finding shoes that would be comfortable for him as making it harder. Jessica confessed that the shoes he has at present make it hard for him to walk and sometimes, one of the toes peeps out of the shoes. To make things worse, Waylon has also faced online bullying.
Jessica recalled that the first time she posted some pictures of Waylon she got many people bullying him with negative comments. Jessica opened up about how she also had 12 toes when she was born and had undergone surgery. She thinks she would have hated her parents if they hadn't done this for her and expects that the same reaction would be displayed by her son.
The couple decided to meet Dr Ebonie Vincent with the hopes that she would be able to help their son. Dr Vincent looked at the x-ray and realized that it was important to get the surgery because in the long run, he may start feeling pain.
Dr Vincent decided to take Waylon for surgery. She was easily able to remove the sixth toe from his right foot but the left posed a problem as the fifth and sixth were stuck together. Luckily, she was able to remove the sixth toe without any mistakes and was happy with the results of the surgery.
However, before she could be completely done with the surgery, she also had to take care of the bone that was inside and did not grow properly. With the help of the right tools, Dr Vincent was slowly able to remove the bones. Unfortunately, they were not coming out in one piece and she had to make sure that all the bones were out.
After carefully spending a lot of time into it, Dr Vincent was able to complete the surgery on a positive note as she was pleased to see the results.
'My Feet Are Killing Me' airs on Thursdays at 10 pm ET on TLC.
