If you search Google news, you'll get a bunch of additional hits:

Don't forget that all those stories are a result of the AP picking it up...

Thanks for the info Rudy! I had no idea it had been picked up nationally.
ABC and CBS local affiliates ran stories last night at 10 and Fox did a follow up story regarding Teagan.
ABC STORY
CBS STORY
I finally was able to talk to my friend Katie, the mother, in person last evening. Teagan is doing great and seems as though she will make a full recovery which is so incredible. Katie told me that the stories would be run three different networks simultaneously last night and joked that she is just waiting for Oprah to call. She also joked that she won't let her daughter use a fork anymore and makes her eat everything with a spoon. It's nice to see Katie smiling again. Thanks again everyone for your kind words and concern.

A fund has been set up to help with Teagan's medical bills if any of you would like to donate.
Teagan Gislason Fund
C/O Provincial Bank
20280 Iberia Ave
Lakeville, MN 55044
Sorry to hear about the situation; it gave me shivers looking at the x-rays. I can certainly empathize; I've got a young one myself (5 yo), and it breaks my heart to see them go through something so horrific like this. Glad to hear that she's recovering well. Thanks for posting the donation fund information, I'd be more than happy to contribute.

Katie got an unexpected call from the UK this morning inquiring about the story and asking for pictures. It seems Teagan's incredible story has gone global!!
