Zion gets new hands

muttmom — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 00:12:05 GMT

Tonight on NBC Nightly News there was a story about an 8 year old boy named Zion. When he was a toddler his lower legs and hands were amputated. He is now the first double hand transplant.

I pray things continue to go well for this brave little boy.

I read about that about an hour ago and it is so amazing. Could you imagine? Wow. Hands? That's amazing. He looks so excited too. He wants to throw a football and have his sister run to him so he can swing her around. What a kid.

What a great story. What a cute and spunky kid. I hope it won't be long before he can pick his sister up and swing her around. I thought that was so sweet.

Spent time in heavy pray for him to have an incredible, complete recovery with a happy and healthy future for years to come.

Blessings to his entire family.

It's so nice to see some good news for a change. How amazing this is! He's such a darling child, and I thought the interview with him was so touching. Let's all pray this works. And huge blessings to the donor family.
