A Baltimore boy who became the first youngster in the world to undergo a double-hand transplant two years ago has been recovering well, and doctors said they can finally rule the procedure a success. Zion Harvey, 10, underwent the surgery in 2015 after his hands were amputated when he was 2-years-old, according to the BBC. He had a transplant at the age of four after his mother, Pattie Ray, donated a kidney to her son. Harvey is not the first to have the surgery but he is the youngest to undergo the procedure. Some 40 medical employees at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia participated in the hours-long operation to attach the new hands on Harvey.
