Teddy went through a few tests at Primary Children's Hospital this week and was a little trooper throughout the whole ordeal. The doctors will convene and go over all her blood tests, urinalysis, scans and ultrasound and get back to Grizz and Cindy by Friday, but they're pretty sure they're dealing with Neuroblastoma. She may have to undergo a bone marrow aspiration and possibly a biopsy, but Cindy said they may not have to biopsy.
Neuroblastoma is the most common form of childhood cancer but, most children under the age of 12 months who are diagnosed with it are cured. If Teddy's tumor hasn't spread they may just take a 'wait and see' approach. That is pretty much all Grizz and Cindy have found out so far. More info will be coming Friday.
Your prayers and positive thoughts mean so much to our family at this time, you'll never know how grateful we all are. Especially Grizz and Cindy. And you know, they're handling it all very well. I know good priesthood blessings and prayers are all a factor in this. Don't get me wrong, we're all scared to death and there are still tears, but Cindy and Grizz are facing this bravely and are hoping for the best for their beautiful daughter.
At any rate, keep them all in your prayers, please.

Oh Jenn! Thinking of wee Teddy (how old is she now?), and Grizz and Cindy. Hoping it is easily treated, and she is on the road to recovery soon! Hugs to you and your family too!
