9-year-old Zion Harvey first kid ever to receive double hand transplant

A year after Zion Harvey became the first child to receive a double hand transplant.

A little boy has made a dream come true with bare hands. His dream was to play football.

Nine year-old Zion Harvey underwent a double hand transplant surgery last year. After ten hours in the operation room and extensive physical therapy, Zion can now use his hands.

Harvey is the youngest patient in the US to experience a double hand transplant.

He had to have his hands and feet amputated seven years ago because of a serious infection. He uses leg prosthetics to walk.
