Lakshmi with Mom, Poonami, & family before surgery, age 2.
Lakshmi was named for an Indian goddess for a reason.
Probably because her extra limbs look like the gods/goddesses that Indians are fond of worshipping.
She was born with 2 sets of arms and 2 sets of legs, a result of her parasitic twin stopping growth during gestation.
The local circus offered to buy her (why couldn't they buy the screaming kid I had to sit next to while trying to eat lunch?) but her parents decided surgical intervention was better.
And that seems to be going well.
