Surprisingly, in July this year, the baby was hospitalized. The diagnosis: cardiomyopathy, adisease caused by a virus that changes the structure and function of the heart decreases, according to British newspaper Daily Mail. His heart rate was only 200 beats per minute.To survive, she was urgently placed on a machine with an artificial heart while waiting for a transplant. Five days later he suffered a heart attack.

After six weeks in hospital, the Children's Heart Unit at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, England, Scarlett's heart began to heal itself. Surprised, doctors performed a test to make sure that the baby's heart was strong enough to keep beating yourself.

With the positive result, they performed an operation, which lasted seven hours, to removethe artificial heart. Yesterday, after months of observation, Scarlett, already with 11 months, returned home and prepares to complete its first anniversary next month.

Doctors believe she is one of only 20 other children in the world who have seen your heartrecover after care. His parents have been expecting the worst before his miraculous recovery and now celebrate, happy life, her daughter's health.
