Talk:Tiffany Yorks

Photos
I have seen pictures of Tiffany both before and (taken fairly recently) after the surgery. In the baby picture, it appears the toes are reversed on her feet (i.e., the big toe is on the left side of her left foot). In the more recent photo, she is sitting in a swimming pool, and it's impossible to see her feet clearly.

Here are links to the pics:

There are other recent photos of her on the same page as the baby picture, however, they do not show her feet. In any event, she looks like a normal, healthy, active teenager. 4.243.152.5 02:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the reversal you're seeing may actually just be due to the positioning of the feet in the first picture. It looks to me as though they were attached at the soles--look at the direction in which the toes on the left foot curl. 173.26.226.151 (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Tiffany Yorks is 26 years now.

UPDATE: 10.31.18; Tiffany Yorks is currently deceased. She died February 24, 2016 at the age of 27. Her death was confirmed by a family member on Facebook but the reasoning for her death remains unclear but it's safe to assume it was from complications due to Sirenomelia. Even though she had her legs separated as a child, her legs were still mostly immobile and she was wheelchair bound, undergoing numerous surgeries throughout her life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.180.195.45 (talk) 23:29, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Merge
This article currently states of value that isn't present in the main sirenomelia article. As such, it should probably be merged there, as it otherwise becomes an unexpandable Living Biography stub that we have to keep an eye on. 205.167.180.131 14:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
