1 year ago 25

MINEOLA, Long Island (PIX11) -- A special day Thursday at NYU Langone Hospital Mineola.

Baby Kennedy was born with a cleft palette. She reunited with doctors who performed the miraculous surgery on her.

The 3-week-old preemie was diagnosed with a condition where her small jaw caused her tongue to block her airway causing choking.

But doctors at NYU were able to correct it.

It took three surgeries, but after months Kennedy has a bright future ahead of her.
