Dakota Kenney

When I was born, my parents pointed out that I did not look like a normal baby, my skin had a blue tint, after further examination, I was born with my heart backwards, I wasn’t receiving Oxygen, and I did not have very long to live, at the time there was only two doctors that could perform the surgery needed for my survival, the survival rate in a newborn was low, I was flown by Hospital Wing from Bartlett, Tennessee, to Little Rock Children’s Hospital where Dr. Jonathan Drummonds Webb performed Transposition of the Great Vessels (TGA) on my three day old body. It was a long recovery, I was in the hospital during 9/11; but my birthdate is on 07/03; I would feel pains in my chest from the large amount of scarring on my chest and belly just from growing, I was told I wouldn’t never be able to work manual labor, nothing to extensive, that it would cause a lot of damage, I am here to say my doctor says I have a healthy heart, that he is surprised I go to the Gym, along with going to my job, as well with running miles at a time! I started my aviation career at FedEx, but they didn’t carry a Warrior Spirit such as Southwest, I LUV the culture here at Southwest and would never take advantage of them, I have defied all odds and survived trauma on my body that many people never experience, I began to sing and 10 years later here we are!
