Dad who lost all his limbs in freak accident is finally able to hold his daughters again

A single dad who lost all his limbs during a horrific scaffolding accident made a miraculous recovery so he could go home to be with his two young twin daughters. Now every time Jamie Mines reads little Savannah and Bella their favourite bedtime story, he does it with a lump of gratitude in his throat, the Mirror reports.

After a long battle, the quadruple amputee is finally able to cuddle and pick up his six-year-old girls again. The father, from Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, received an incredible life-changing gift of a double hand transplant, which has transformed his life.

Jamie, who was nearly killed by 33,000 volts of electricity, said: "Life is so good since my transplant. I used to have to flick the book pages with my stumps, not any more. It was amazing putting my arms around my daughters again, properly cuddling them for the first time since the accident."
