The story of Mya Wh!ttington, the little girl with the retained feathers around her neck, is a truly remarkable and widely shared story that has captured attention on social media and even made it into the media spotlight.
Searching the internet, especially on social media, you may come across unusual stories that have already been told but are still circulating frequently.
A Facebook friend of mine recently shared the unusual story of little Mya Whittington, which at first appeared to be a hoax, but turned out to be true enough to garner media attention.
FEATHERS HOLDING NECK BONES, MYA WH!TTINGTON.
In December 2012, the occasion was held in Hutchinson, a county seat in Kansas and a major American city.
The main character is Mya Whittington, who was a seven-month-old baby at the time of the events.
On the morning of December 8, 2012, Mya Whittington’s parents found a tumor on their daughter’s neck, just below her jaw.
They decide to bring the young man to the emergency room at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center because they are very concerned.
Once checked, the hospital doctors will quickly determine that it is a swollen gland and will probably need to be treated with antibiotics.
Afterward, the gang is released.
Mya Whittington’s grandmother revisits the hospital with her granddaughter after noticing a suspicious pimple on an enlarged area that has since grown to the size of a golf ball and a half.
A doctor pops a pimple and covers the edges of the inflamed area with a marker to monitor its progress after discovering that she has a staph infection in her lymph nodes.
MYA WH!TTINGTON will visit the hospital again Monday morning to have a doctor on call remove a crust that has grown over a broken pimple.
At this point, the weirdness starts to show.
When the parents are alone, the daughter’s face sticks out like a stick.
They took her to their pediatrician after the first doctor didn’t help.
When the unexplained object was removed from the girl’s face during a subsequent session, a 2-inch (5 cm) long black feather was discovered.
The doctors concluded that the only plausible explanation for the existence of the feather on Mya’s face was that she had swallowed or inhaled it at some point in the past and that it remained there for some time before being rejected by her immune system.
In one of the many interviews that were eventually published, Mya Whittington’s mother, Emma, ​​said that she used to own a feather pillow but decided to throw it away after the incident.
Since the unexpected incident, fortunately, had no dire consequences, the doctors decided not to operate on the enlarged area.
Like many extraordinary stories, Mya Whittington’s story caught people’s attention because of its sheer uniqueness. It serves as a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that life can take, and the power of sharing remarkable experiences to create awareness and spark conversation.
The Whittington family’s courage to share their story has not only raised eyebrows but also inspired others to appreciate the extraordinary moments that can arise from the most unexpected circumstances. May Mye continue to thrive and serve as a symbol of resilience and hope for all who hear her incredible story.
The Whittingtons’ story has garnered so much attention that it has been discussed on several national talk shows, including “Anderson Cooper Live” (second video attached below — ed), as well as a Japanese program that sent a film crew to Wichita, Kansas in May 2013 to interview Aaron and Emma Whittington.
