About this campaign
After seeing many improvements with her first stem cell therapy last September we were encouraged and are planning another trip in April but need your help. Please show your support of Teagan on her journey and buy a shirt or hoodie!
Teagan still faces a long road ahead but with your help she can continue making progress by receiving treatments that her insurance will not cover. The list is ever expanding as research is done by her family and new avenues are discovered. Currently the family is planning a trip to Phoenix, AZ for Stem Cell Therapy to be paired with therapy in Phoenix for a few days, then a week of intensive therapy in Austin, TX to follow the stem cell as recommended.
From the day Teagan was born she has shown her fighting spirit and has continued to have difficulties thrown her way. She was born in Clovis, NM. A few short hours after being born she was flown out to Lubbock, TX where she spent a long 3.5 months fighting to leave as strong as she could. With a diagnosis of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and a 50% survival rate she stood up to her first battle. Upon discharge from the hospital having only oxygen support and a gtube for supplemental feedings, she had won!
At six months old she reherniated and returned to the hospital for another month stay and some very scary days, yet once again, she had won!
Then December 20, 2015 she caught rhinovirus/enterovirus and found herself fighting for her life once more. During the long 3 month hospital stay she was intubated, required support from a traditional ventilator, high frequency ventilator, nitric oxide, multiple chest tubes and ultimately had a trach placed. With all this she still came out the smiling, happy little girl everyone that met her had the joy of knowing. Another stay and another win!
Fast forward to December 20, 2017 (notice the date). At 3 years old Teagan contracted RSV which resulted in every parent’s worst nightmare. While at home Teagan stopped breathing and went limp in her mother’s arms. Thanks to a wonderful neighbor who is a paramedic, and the amazing rescue team that arrived in the ambulance, Teagan regained her pulse after epinephrine was administered.
The result of Teagan’s brain being deprived of oxygen for an estimated 20 minutes was devastating. All Teagan’s hard fought victories against CDH were gone and she now had to start over at the beginning relearning everything starting with how to breath.
Teagan’s fighting spirit persevered and after a 4 month hospital stay she was declared stable enough to be released in order to begin the very long path to recovery at home.
Teagan has continued to show her resilience, strength, bravery, and determination throughout this entire experience and her family has been with her every step of the way while being moved around for her father's military career.
The entire family has been blessed with an amazing support team and are incredibly thankful for the help and love that are continually being shown. Buy a shirt and continue to show her the love and support she deserves as she fights to win yet another battle!!

We love the Schaffer family.
I graduated with Tawney and she has always been a kind, loving, decent person who has a heart for others. She would do the same for anyone else. It's time others do for her. Tegan is a beautiful day of sunshine and hope and I pray every day for her.
