"But I know that I really was here," the 14-year-old said, "and I did live without a heart."
As she was being released Wednesday from a Miami hospital, the shy teen seemed in awe of what she's endured. Since July, she's had two heart transplants and survived with artificial heart pumps — but no heart — for four months between the transplants.

With the "miracles" of modern technology, it seems anything is possible. I wonder how much 118 days of keeping someone alive sans heart runs. Think that was covered by her HMO?

118 Days without a heart?!? Carpool to Burger King anyone? In all seriousness though this is an amazing story and should go down as a modern medical marvel.

Taking a short stroll — when she felt up for it — required the help of four people, at least one of whom would steer the photocopier-sized machine that was the external part of the pumping devices.
Wow, God bless her and her family.

Holy shit...
That's insane. Was she asleep, or awake with no beating heart?
Like a machine keeping her alive, flowing blood through her body?
What a brave girl. - 3 years ago

amazing that they're able to keep someone going for so long - and apparently concious too. It must feel so weird not to feel a heart beating in your chest.
