Kenadie Belle Longie
Kenadie Belle Longie was born 3 months early weighing 1 lb and 15 oz. Kenadie was rushed to the Grand Forks NICU where she spent about a week before being moved to Fargo to close the hole in her heart. Little Kenadie has been through a lot during her time in Fargo with two Patent Ductus Arteriousus (PDA) ligation surgeries, three surgeries on her throat and numerous balloon dilations on her throat.
The doctor told Kenadie’s parents one of her vocal cords wasn’t working properly and was making it hard for her to breath properly. Kenadie was diagnosed with partial paralysis on her left vocal cord and it would have to heal on its own.
