<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>

The Marley’s together would have four children during their marriage.  For those of you keeping score Bob had eight more children with eight different women not including his wife Rita.  Rita also had another child (Stephanie) as a result of an affair with another man during her marriage to Bob.

<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">LONDON</span>:</b> In a bid to help childless women become mothers, a 42-year-old Dutch man launched a free “baby making” service nine years ago.<br />
<br />
Ed Houben stayed a virgin till the age of 34. He usually waits for women to come to him at his home in Maastricht, but makes exceptions if the women pay for his travelling expenses and accommodation, the Daily Mail reported.<br />
<br />
The man had s*x with 15 women every month, and has fathered 82 children so far.<br />
<br />
He said he began to donate sperm to local clinics. But later he found there was a market for procreation “the natural way”, the daily said.<br />
<br />
He connects with childless women through German website Spermaspender.de.<br />
<br />
All women must submit medical records showing they are disease and drug free.<br />
