‼️HEY EMMA‼️🎗️🎗️

We heard you had CLEAR SCANS and WE want to share your news with EVERYONE‼️

‼️SO AMAZING‼️

We are ALL celebrating with you‼️🎉




For Emma

Emma’s scan is clear!! Praise God!! It’s hard to explain the relief we all felt, especially sweet Emma. After we got the good news she looked at me and said “now I can finally live my life again”.
It was a tough few weeks leading up to this scan as she had been experiencing more intense headaches which has been unsettling. Today’s good news hit different 😊 Thank you so much for all your prayers, texts, and phone calls. We sure are blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people!

Please meet the very strong and very brave Hudson♥️

Hudson was diagnosed last May with Ewing Sarcoma.
🎗️His momma shares: “This past spring, our lives changed in ways we never expected. What began as what we thought was a simple arm injury turned out to be something far more serious. After weeks of pain and testing, scans and a biopsy, we were told that our sweet five year old Hudson had cancer. It was then confirmed on May 27, 2025 that Hudson not only had cancer, but a very rare form of aggressive bone cancer called Ewing sarcoma. There are no words to describe what being told that your child has cancer feels like.”

“He began standard treatment at UNC and filled the standard protocol of a combination of 5 different chemotherapy’s, each round with a weeks hospital stay.”
Hudson’s parents spent weeks researching to find “the best surgeon that had the most promising prognosis for our boy, and we would go to any lengths to make sure that happened” states his momma. His parents , after weeks of consults , decided on traveling to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC for limb-salvaging surgery. In September, Hudson underwent an extensive procedure to remove the tumor from his right upper arm and reconstruct his humerus using his own fibula bone (lower leg bone), donor bone grafts, and surgical hardware. Surgery was a success.
Hudson and his family remained in NYC during a long recovery, then traveled back to their home hospital, where Hudson returned to UNC to complete his remaining chemotherapy cycles, marking the final stretch of this long and difficult journey.

As they move toward with end of treatment, they are hoping to finish chemotherapy in spring, 2026. They will return to NYC for a secondary surgery in the next few months to shave down and/or remove some of the hardware in his arm.

🎗️His momma shares:
“Hudson’s journey is far from over, but we are hopeful and full of faith that our God has big plans for Hudson and our family! Thank you all for loving Hudson, believing in him, and helping us see light even on the hardest days”

Please join us in sending healing energy, loving prayers, and positive vibes for the very inspiring Hudson.
YOU.GOT.THIS.LITTLE.MAN‼️
You are an inspiration to each of us‼️
You are our HERO♥️

♥️Update on Pryce

10 yr old Pryce has been fighting Stage 4, Neuroblastoma, for 6 years. During a small break, Pryce was able to go to Disneyland with his family. During the weekend his parents took him to the ER where emergency surgery was performed for a blood clot in his bladder. Then more issues occurred and a second emergency surgery took place. The surgery went well, but bleeding was still an issue, his body continued to retain fluid, and his kidneys were severely impacted by everything he has been going through. The swelling was very painful and beginning to collect in his lungs. He received dialysis to remove some of the fluid and give his kidneys a chance to recover.
They needed to get Pryce stable enough to take a medical flight from Florida to home hospital in Michigan.

❣️Update from his momma:
***WE ARE BACK IN MICHIGAN***
“There were a lot of moving parts with getting a medical flight, making sure Pryce was stable enough to travel, and having at bed at Mott, but we are here!
There are so many people who helped make this happen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We left FL at 11:30pm(Thurs) and landed around 2am(Fri). We are still getting settled in, but Pryce is feeling good.
Thank you, again, for all your prayers and support.”

🎗️Please keep Pryce in your thoughts for continued good news as he fights these battles. Sending light, love, positivity and prayers for continued progress towards being cancer free and healing.
YOU.GOT.THIS.PRYCE‼️
