UNION COUNTY, N.C. — A baby girl who had been waiting on a new heart finally got transplant surgery.
In June, we shared the story of 5-month-old Dally, who was diagnosed with heart failure.
Doctors at Atrium Health gave her an artificial heart called a Berlin Heart. It pumps blood through the body and allowed Dally to get on the transplant list.
Her parents tell Channel 9 that Dally is doing really well and could go home as early as this week.
Atrium Health its just one of 62 hospitals across the county that uses Berlin Hearts.
