Abigail - 11 Toes!

One autumn day, in 2005, my mom had a baby girl. She was as cute as a button. We named her Alyssa. I noticed something different about her. I was surprised. She had 11 toes!

A couple of years later, my dad told me that Alyssa was going to have surgery for her 11th toe. Alyssa felt scared that night. I was scared, too. What would happen to her? Would she be all right? Would her foot be bloody?

The next morning, I quietly tiptoed to Alyssa’s room. I took a quick look at her foot, and there I saw ten perfect toes, and a little line where her 11th toe was. Her foot was okay! She was safe! Hooray!                  

Today, Alyssa lives with her family, safe and sound, with 10, tiny, perfect toes.
