A Colorado Springs family is part of one of the strangest cases in medical history.
Dr. Paul Grabb, a pediatric brain surgeon, said he discovered a small foot growing inside the brain of 3-day-old Sam Esquibel.
The appendage threatened the newborn's life.

Chimera. Sometimes fatal sometimes nearly undetectable. This presentation sounds grievous. Prayers up.
