OAK FOREST, IL — Katy Landuyt likes to stay occupied nowadays. The 30-year-old, lifelong Oak Forest resident finds her hands even busier than usual heading into the holidays.
Katy and her husband Tim, 35, will make as many fleece blankets as they can, to hand-deliver to the littlest residents of the Silver Cross Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in New Lenox—where one month ago they said goodbye to their daughter.
Sophie Jean Landuyt wasn't here long, but you'd never know it by the impact she had on so many. The preemie was born Sept. 16, 2022, weighing just 14 ounces at 24 weeks. From the moment of her birth, her parents knew she—and they—would be in a fight for her life.
