We are just crushed to share the passing of sweet Pryce. 💔

Please say a prayer for his amazing family and hold them hold them all closely in your hearts.

Pryce Nolan Redmon
May 2, 2015 - February 19, 2026

We ended up staying at Mott longer, but made it home today where Pryce passed away, peacefully, surrounded by his parents & siblings.
Pryce’s PICU team did an amazing job making sure he was stable enough to come home. The ambulance crew kept him comfortable all the way home. And the hospice nurses supported us through it all.
We are so grateful we could keep our promise to him to get him home, even if it wasn’t the way we were hoping & praying for.
Thank you to all of you for your prayers, messages, cards, etc. Pryce knew he was loved and enjoyed seeing your comments & opening packages.
We are working on arrangements and will post them soon.
Thank you, again, for walking this journey with us. ❤️

PLEASE keep Pryce and his family in your thoughts.💔

Our hearts ache for you. We are sending so many prayers your way. 🙏

Post from Pryce’s Mom:

Update for Sunday 2/15
We are devastated that we are at this point, but it’s time. We are working on going home on hospice.
I was hoping to have a better idea of the plan, but things are still in process. At this point we are *hoping* to be home Monday afternoon or Tuesday at the latest.
Pryce is still comfortable. He has been pretty stable up until today. He needed a couple blood & platelet transfusions, which added to his fluid retention. His abdomen is extremely swollen and tight, and causing him the most discomfort. We are adjusting his pain meds so he can rest comfortably.

Prayer Requests:
- Praise that more family was able to visit.
- Praise that he is comfortable.
- Pray that everything falls in place so we can get home.
- Pray that we are able to keep Pryce comfortable.
-Pray for Pryce’s siblings & our family during this time.
Thanks!!!💛💜💛

What is ICCD?

International Childhood Cancer Day is a collaborative campaign to raise awareness and promote an increased appreciation and deeper understanding of the challenges faced by children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families. ICCD spotlights the need for more equitable access to treatment and care for all children with cancer, everywhere.

43 families today.
43 families that just yesterday probably have never heard of childhood cancer.
43 families whose lives were changed forever with 4 little words
“Your child has cancer”.
And...
43 families will hear it tomorrow, and..
43 more the next day,
and the next....

Pediatric cancer is NOT rare.
ANYONE can become one of these 43.

With more AWARENESS, comes more VOICES, and more HELP toward funding to find a CURE!
But most of all it gives a child and their family...HOPE!

Be a voice for the children.
Share the AWARENESS.
Not because it is your child,
or my child,
but.....because it is A CHILD.

Every warrior parent has had
“that moment” when they were told “your child has cancer”.

Please share a little of your story,
about the symptoms your child was experiencing that led you to the doctor or ER. 🎗️

NEUROBLASTOMA

Neuroblastoma is a cancer often found in the small glands on top of the kidneys (adrenal glands). It can develop in the belly, chest, neck, pelvis, and bones. Children ages five or younger are most commonly affected. But it can also affect older children.
Neuroblastoma can cause many different signs and symptoms. Below are common symptoms. Children could show one, or several of these.
Please be aware that Neuroblastoma mimics many other common childhood illnesses. In many cases, when a child shows one of these symptoms, a common illness is all it is. But it is always in your child’s best interest to talk to their doctor about any questions and concerns you may have when your child is ill. Expand your awareness and know what to look for.

*Lump or swelling in the child's abdomen or neck that doesn't seem to hurt
*Swelling of the legs or upper chest, neck and face
*Enlarged belly
*Problems breathing or swallowing
*Weight loss
*Not eating or complaining about feeling full
*Problems with bowel movements or urinating
*Pain in bones
*Lumps or bumps in the skin that may appear blue
