<div>Hello, my name is Sierra, &amp; i’m writing this on behalf of someone I love like a sister- Michelle Davis &amp; her beautiful family. Her husband Kenneth, their 4 year old son Kenny, &amp; their precious 2 year old, Teddy Bear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, their family is facing the unimaginable. Teddy has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of a tumor based cancer called Neuroblastoma. My dear friend Michelle is living out every mother’s nightmare with the kind of dedication &amp; strength only a mother can summon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Miraculous Beginning-</strong>
</div>
<div>Teddy’s story has been covered in grace from the beginning. While transferring medical care late in her pregnancy, Michelle was offered an unexpected ultrasound–one that was never meant to be scheduled but somehow, was. In that scan, they found it. A mass. A warning. A whisper something may be wrong. That ultrasound truly may have saved Teddy’s life. Many neuroblastoma's go undetected until much later, after symptoms appear &amp; when treatment is harder. Teddy never had symptoms. Instead, divine intervention paved the way for early detection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hope Turned Heartbreak-</strong>
</div>
<div>After birth, Teddy was monitored with regular scans for months. The mass appeared to be shrinking, doctors speculated it was a benign hemorrhage from utero development, and reassured them it only required routine monitoring. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>January 4th, 2025, everything came crashing down. The mass had suddenly tripled in size. They were rushed to OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Surgeons quickly got to work to remove the mass, along with his adrenal gland it was growing on. It was confirmed, a Neuroblastoma, thankfully not yet spread to his bones or major organs. We rejoiced! It was removed successfully &amp; we all thought that would be the end of this very scary story. Then the pathology of the tumor came back, hope shattered. The tumor was deemed aggressive &amp; within just 6 weeks post removal, it had begun growing back in the same adrenal bed…to the same size it was at removal. 2x3cm.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Moving Fast-</strong>
</div>
<div>Teddy has now begun a 15 month chemotherapy treatment plan with potential of more surgeries. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>&amp; this tight knit family is just trying to hold onto each other, cancer happens fast. He completed his 1st round of chemo &amp; they went home to Grants Pass hoping to settle in, breathe, &amp; keep Teddy comfortable while they monitored symptoms. They barely had time to sit down when Teddy spiked a fever, landing them in their local ER. He tested positive for RSV &amp; an internal infection. On his 2nd birthday, May 9th, he was life-flighted in a helicopter back to OHSU. Alone. His family followed frantically by car. It then became clear they had no choice but to start brainstorming arrangements on how to be consistently closer to his care team. Michelle &amp; Teddy are currently staying at the hospital full-time. Ken &amp; Kenny are staying in a RV near the hospital. A necessary decision but the financial strain deepens everyday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ken, a recent Army Veteran turned regenerative farmer &amp; consultant, doesn’t know when he realistically can return to steady work within his community. Every meal, every tank of gas, every night of attempted sleep (as a family split up) has become something to manage. The logistical &amp; financial weight of childhood cancer now touches every corner of their lives, while the emotional toll reaches the deepest parts of their hearts–as they do everything they can to provide some stability for their boys.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong>Teddy: Cherub to Warrior-</strong>
</div>
<div>Teddy has always reminded me of a cherub—round bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks, flowing blonde curls, chubby little rolls of perfection, all wrapped in an energetic glow that can be felt in his presence. He’s tender &amp; sweet, &amp; full of fire. He is strength wrapped in softness. A baby cherub, now called to be a toddler warrior. From the very beginning, we’ve known he was different. Perhaps God crafted him as a reminder: that even in the storm, there is light. A reminder that even the smallest among us are bound for something powerful &amp; unknown. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let's Be a LIGHT for The Davis Family- </strong>
</div>
<div>We believe in healing, in miracles, &amp; the power of prayer!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>&amp; we know the profound <em>real</em> change the support of a community can have on a family!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you can, please donate. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>If you can’t, please share &amp; join us in prayer. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For Teddy’s full recovery.
</div>
<div>For his Mama, who has not left his side, as she watches clumps of his golden locks fall away.
</div>
<div>For Ken &amp; Kenny, finding their flow, building normalcy where they can, &amp; life as a duo. (The Ken’s!) As I like to say!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, Teddy is still recovering from RSV &amp; the infection. He’s had a blood transfusion, platelet transfusion, &amp; bone marrow testing (results pending), he even ripped out his PICC line while simultaneously ripping off &amp; hurling his diaper across the room. He certainly doesn’t lack determination! As they adjust into their new life, &amp; await his 2nd round of chemo, <strong><em>every act of support, big or small truly means everything! </em></strong>We will be posting updates here as his journey continues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let’s shine<em> all</em> the love &amp; support on </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>The Davis Family </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>We can<em> all</em> be a part of the miracle they are praying for! </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Thank you so very much! </strong>
</div>

<div><em> God Bless You </em>
