Donations Still Made For Baby
TEMPLE (AP) — Two months after the
death of the “Christmas baby” whose brief
life garnered headlines, the hospital that
treated him is still getting donations to cover
his medical bills.
An 11-year-old girl from Willow City, Texas,
sent a brief note with her $10 donation.
“This is for Christopher. I got $20 for
Christmas and I want Christopher to have $10.
I saw Christopher’s picture on TV. I was going
to get a pair of Wrangler jeans, but I think
Christopher needs the money more than 1
need Wranglers,” said Cheryl Michels.
Christopher Lemley, born on Christmas
Day, died on Jan. 13 at Scott and White
HoSpital. The infant was brought here by a
Houston television station helicopter after his
birth — two months early — at a Baytown
hospital which could not treat him.
Several Houston-area hospitals said they
did not have room to treat Christopher. The
baby’s pediatrician found space for
Christopher at Scott and White, but the televi-
sion station helicopter had to be used because
