Thanks, Pasta.....and amazing young boy indeed....and a credit to his mother.

A fantastic team working on him.....and not to forget the parents of the child who donated......

To see his hands pinking up was lovely....but his eyes when he looked at this new hands......beautiful.....☺

[ummmm]

Wow...what a wonderful boy. Made me cry.

I saw this on last night's news - I must admit it brought a tear to my eye. Brilliant surgery - and what a lovely little boy!

I have just watched this clip and my eyes are still leaking !

Its not often I am lost for words, but what a fabulous little lad ! He had no feet or hands and he has had a kidney transplant as well, but you would have thought that he had just had a cold. Mature beyond his years, in spades.

I hope we can follow his progress. Watch out every body for any updates please.

I do hope we get updates, Mikey.....and all goes well.....Having a kidney problem doesn't always end with the transplant yet as you say.....you'd think he'd just had a cold.....amazing spirit.....x

He is such a positive little lad, I wish him well. It did make me well up.

I'm glad this has brought some pleasure to people. I'd not even seen it on the news...a co-worker just happened to mention it.
