Face transplant patient can feel daughter's kisses

BOSTON(AP)�A Texas man who had a face transplant a year ago says now he can feel his daughter's kisses.

Dallas Wiens (WEENS) of Fort Worth was at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston on Monday to follow up with his transplant team.

He had the nation's first full face transplant a year ago and says he can use his face more than he expected. His face was burned in 2008 when his head touched a high-voltage power line while standing in a cherry picker. He was also blinded.

He says feeling his daughter's kisses has brought him to tears more than once. He also says he can go out with family and friends and not worry about what anyone thinks.

His doctor says every time the team sees him he can do and feel more things.
