Who's going home?

The first six years of life have already been tough for little Kewan and Drewan.

When he was actually born, seeing what he was going through, I was thinking like he wasn't coming out the hospital no time soon.

Born with a rare heart condition called hypoplastic right heart syndrome, which affects cardiac blood flow. He spent his first few years in and out of the hospital.

15 to 20 surgeries, but procedures of going on during everything over 58.

How What has been for you guys as parents to deal with all this?

Honestly, it was a really rough journey. We were all sleeping in the pick you on pull out beds and waiting surgeries. Or if we just turn around to go home to get rest, we're getting rushed right back.

But despite the hard road he's already faced in his young life, Quian's family says his passion has always been to ease the pain of others.

I want to hurt people.

After hearing his story, the village of Lynwood Police Department, near Chicago, decided to make his dream come true, making him an honorary officer. How does it feel to be a police officer, Kewan?

I'm definitely excited. He's been talking about this since he was two years old. He wanted to be a police officer.

With the help of the mayor, the Department organized a ceremony to swear in the six-year-old. Kewan taking his job very seriously.

To make sure everybody buckles their seatbelt every time we're in the car, and he makes sure the child safety locks are on. And safety first. And safety first.

Soon, he'll get to go on patrol with friends and siblings, spreading his enthusiasm and desire to help around the community. And he's already managed to score a second job. Next month, he says the Lynwood Fire Department will let him take a spin on their firetruck.

I want them to beat the horn.
