Our sweet little princess Teagan Grace Haniszewski came bursting into the world August 4, 2005 with a head full of curly dark hair and hazel eyes. She has been a continual joy and blessing to mom and dad, Carly & Bryant. She loves ballet and gymnastics (she calls it “nastics”) and playing outside at her water table. Teagan is a very happy girl who loves to laugh, and always answers with a please or thank you.

In May of 2007, Teagan began having some intermittent vomiting and had trouble walking and standing up. We took her to the pediatrician on Friday June 1st for an 11:45 appointment. After hearing Teag’s symptoms the doctor sent us to Good Shepherd Hospital for a CT scan at 2:30 that revealed a large brain tumor in the back of her head. The doctor sent us immediately to Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago where we were admitted through the Emergency Room. 

After 9 surgeries and 7 months in the hospital, Teagan Grace came home on Dec. 14th, 2007 to spend Christmas with her family. What a Christmas miracle that was!!! 

Teagan's chemo treatment concluded in March 2009 followed by 6 weeks of proton radiation in Houston. Teagan continues her physical, occupational and speech therapy. She has a long road ahead but with many prayers we hope that she will be able to walk on her own and talk again very soon.
