A nine year-old boy who begged then first minister Nicola Sturgeon to help end his excruciating pain has finally received the long awaited operation.
Schoolboy Harvey Martin is nearly 4cm taller after his life-changing surgery, reports the Daily Record.
The nine year-old Celtic fan was placed on a waiting list for the surgery which would straighten his spine, which was crushing his organs and causing agonising pain. Last month a public appeal to raise awareness of Harvey's issue touched the hearts of many including then First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who assured the nine year-old that a date for his surgery was on the way.
