Two weeks ago, we introduced you to Theo Davis, the little boy born with half a heart. At that time he had already undone five operations, but was still given just two weeks to live without a new organ.

After surprising doctors by breathing on his own earlier this month, the little fighter survived an operation last week that improved his heart functions.

This has left doctors to believe that he can come off the transplant list and he may not now need a new heart until teenage years.

Even though they have a long way to go, his parents are thrilled that they maybe getting him home in a few weeks.

I am so excited for this family! The best part about this story is that another baby can hopefully be moved up the donor list.
