Kaitlyn’s mother Anna said she wanted to have her daughter’s thumb removed to prevent both medical issues and potential bullying that could arise from it.
The surgery means Kaitlyn will have to wear a cast over hand and much of her arm for at least six months.
Here’s how the family reacted when they first found out Kaitlyn had the “highly evolved” addition to her hand.
