Baby girl born at 25 weeks continues fighting for her life, parents told she wouldn’t make it
A baby girl named Sylvie, born at 25 weeks weighing one pound, continues to defy medical odds in the NICU at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis. Despite being told she would not survive, Sylvie has shown progress but faces ongoing challenges, including a grade four brain bleed and hydrocephalus. Her parents, Presley Stevens and her husband, travel from Hickory Flat, Mississippi, to support her, while a GoFundMe has raised over $9,000 to assist the family.
