<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><b>On may 17th, 2010, the mother Yi Xilian said with great agony in a local hospital in Changsha, Hunan province that her 1-year-and-2-month-old son Kang Kang is suffering from a congenital facial cleft, and his mouth is cracked up to his ears.</b></i></span></blockquote>
Its looks like that he has second face.  His mother said the pregnancy was normal and all the signs were pointed to a normal child but when the child <b>Kang Kang</b> born, the truth revealed. She also said that before passing the baby to her, the doctors told her "don't be said" but when she saw her son, she collapsed.<br />
<br />
Both mother and father used to work together in an electronics factory in  Huizhou, southern China's Guangdong province. After getting pregnant, Yi Xilian, mother of Kang Kang quit her job and wait for the birth.<br />

On March 4th, 19 days before the estimated birth date, Yi Xilian gave birth to Kang Kang, who weighed 4.62lbs.<br />
<br />
Nobody knew about this rare unusual face deformity. Yi had three pregnancy checkups in Xiangxiang City Women and Children's Hospital, but doctors told her that the result were all normal.<br />
<br />
Professor Wang Duquan of 163 Hospital said that <b>there are many possible reasons, like disease infection during embryo development, taking medications during pregnancy and so on.</b>"It's the first such case he ever met." Professor said. It's different from a cleft lip or cleft palate, it's a facial cleft.  Not only his face muscles are cleft, but the inside bones are cleft."<br />

Doctors told the mother and father 20 days after the birth that the surgery would cost at least <b>300,000 to 400,000 Yuan</b>. But they couldn't afford such a large amount, and the kid is already 1 year old and they couldn't wait any longer.<br />
<br />
Professor Wang said that he needs at least <b>two surgeries</b>. The surgeries would sew up the clefts on the surface skin, the deep muscles, and then reconstruct the facial bones.<br />
<br />
Professor Wand said they will try their best to resume a normal look for the baby, but as this is the first case of such deformity, the results are unpredictable.<br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">No one knew what was bothering 7-month-old Mya Whittington. Her discomfort stumped her parents and doctors. She was finally hospitalized - and a 2-inch feather eventually poked its way out of her neck, shocking everyone.</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"We were just pretty much in disbelief," Mya's dad, Aaron Whittington, 26, told.<br />
<br />
"I was at work and my wife noticed that the left side of her neck had started to swell, and she called me at work and asked if we should take her to the emergency room," Whittington said.<br />
<br />
 The couple decided to wait, thinking that Mya just had a swollen gland. They changed their minds the next morning.<br />
<br />
"Sunday morning, when we woke up, it had doubled in size and there was a pimple-looking thing on the end of it," he said. "We're looking at it and going, 'There's no way this is a swollen gland.'"<br />
<br />
Mya was admitted to a hospital near the family's home in Hutchinson, Kansas. Doctors thought she had a staph infection of her lymph nodes. But when they tried to drain the bump, nothing came out. Hours later, Aaron Whittington and his wife Emma noticed what appeared to be a "half-inch string" protruding from Mya's face.<br />
<br />
 "[The pediatrician] threw on gloves and she pulled out a 2-inch feather and she's like, 'It's a feather.' And we're like, 'What do you mean it's a feather?' And she showed us," Whittington said, still in disbelief.<br />
<br />
"As far as how the feather got into the side of the neck, our doctor says we'll probably never really know," he said. "But her best guess is that she either inhaled it or tried swallowing it and it got lodged in the throat somewhere, and the body, just being crazy, just started to reject it and force it out the side of her neck."<br />
<br />
The parents now remember Mya crying and puling at the area under her left ear over the past few weeks, but they thought she might be getting an ear infection or teething.<br />
<br />
The little girl is now "almost 100 percent recovered," according to Whittington. Doctors have checked her out and determined that she will not need surgery. They say her body will heal on its own.<br />
<br />
The Whittingtons say they are grateful for Mya's health and have been shocked that the story has gone global.<br />
<br />
"We've been extremely, extremely surprised," Aaron Whittington said. "We've gotten stories in Kenya, India, the U.K. It's really crazy."</div>
