    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.
