Teddie’s labs look strong, and she’s been feeling great the past few days. She’s running, dancing, and playing like the vibrant little girl we know and love. Her chimerism numbers are steady: myeloid at 100%, lymphoid back up to 97%, and unseparated at 99%. Her doctor is pleased with her progress, and we’re thankful her port access went smoothly today.

The hospital staff surprised her with a Taylor Swift dance party, and seeing her light up and dance without a care was a true gift.

At the same time, there’s some worry. Her donor has been difficult to reach lately, which feels unusual after all he’s already given. The team is still working to get in touch, and we’re trusting God’s perfect timing. We’re praying he’s feeling better and able to provide the extra cells Teddie needs soon.

For now, they’re tapering her meds a bit faster to encourage her donor cells to ramp up and fully take over. They’re close, but we need those donor cells to clear out any remaining original cells.

We hold onto hope and ask for your prayers:
       ▫️for clarity, strength, and peace as this next chapter unfolds. 
       ▫️for our donor’s health and willingness to give again.
       ▫️ for Teddie’s donor cells to fully take control.
