Warning: this video contains images from Nathan's surgery.
18-month-old Nathan Roberts has waited more than half his life for this day. On Jan. 12, a donor was found for the Alabama toddler. Nathan would have died from heart failure back in the spring, but Vanderbilt Pediatric Heart Specialists were able secure the use of a new device--- the Berlin Heart--- to bridge him to transplant. No one expected the bridge to take so long, but everyone agrees the Berlin Heart saved the boy's life. Today Nathan is recovering from successful transplant surgery.
