#BBB NEWS| Meet Zion Harvey, The First Kid To Receive A Double-Hand Transplant [PHOTO/VIDEO]

When Zion Harvey was 2 years old, doctors amputated both his hands and feet due to an infection that caused multi-organ failure.

Since the amputations, Zion has received prosthetic legs and learned how to eat, write and play video games. But despite adapting to life without hands, the 8 year old was pretty excited when he learned he would be the first kid to receive a double-hand transplant.

“When I get these hands, I will be proud of what hands I get,”
Zion said. “And if it gets messed up . . . I don’t care because I have my family.”
