Eight-year-old Zion Harvey could hardly be more thankful for the incredible double-hand transplant he recently received. In an interview with Today,“ the boy said he is eager to do one thing: hold his little sister. “My favorite thing [will be to] wait for her to run into my hands as I pick her up and spin her around,” he said. After losing his hands and feet to a life-threatening bacterial infection as a toddler, Harvey, who is from Baltimore, recently became the first kid in the world to receive a double hand transplant. Doctors at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia disclosed the nearly 11-hour operation this week.
