Teddi Mellencamp just gave a positive update on her 5-month-old daughter following the little one’s neurosurgery last week, and we’re so happy to hear the news!!
As we previously shared, Dove Arroyave was recently diagnosed with lambdoid craniosynostosis, which her momma described as “a very rare type of non-syndromic craniosynostosis” which “occurs when one of the lambdoid sutures at the back of the head fuses before birth.”

Following the neurosurgery appointment just a few days ago, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram on Sunday to share about how her baby girl is holding up. Along with a black and white video of herself and her daughter listening to Taylor Swift‘s song Invisible String from the album Folklore, Teddi wrote:
“It’s crazy how resilient kids are. Dove is going into Day 4 post neurosurgery with both eyes open. The swelling went down, she passed all her markers and we have been sent home much earlier than expected.”
She concluded (below):
“I am so grateful for so many things and feeling really blessed. We love you so much baby Dove and know you are going to live whatever life you dream of. 🕊 #craniosynostosis”
Such wonderful news!! We’re sure this is such a relief for Teddi and her husband Edwin Arroyave. Take a look at the sweet vid for yourself (below):
Aww!!
Also on Sunday, the Bravo personality shared a new photo of Dove ahead of her homecoming, writing on Instagram Story:
“It’s a big day. We put clothes on but that was exhausting so now we need to nap.”
She also uploaded a video of the little one sleeping at home a few hours later. Take a look at the snaps (below):
As we mentioned, the 39-year-old first shared the news of her daughter’s diagnosis in July, but admitted she was initially unsure about opening up about something so personal:
“Dealing with anxiety, especially when in the ‘public eye,’ isn’t easy; and going into July it’s at an all-time high. I was torn as to whether I should share this information, but as someone who tries to be as transparent as possible, and knowing I have a platform to reach others in similar situations, I would like to update you all.”
We’re so glad Dove is doing so well and are sending best wishes her way as she recovers!!
