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.

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.

What an uplifting story.  I hope these hands serve Zion well and that he does great things with them.
