Baby Lexi Stankewitz Survives Premature Start At Christ Hospital
Micki and Mike Stankewitz of Alsip spent months at Christ Hospital with their daughter Lexi born at 25 weeks. After 84 days in the Special Care Nursery Lexi left for home on June 17 with her brother Zachary and step sister Cassie. The family faced medical bills, insurance battles, and ongoing eye problems from retinopathy of prematurity. Lexi weighs four pounds and remains on a monitor and may need future laser treatments. The parents credit support from family, friends, and hospital staff, and emphasize the need to cherish every milestone.
