Love and Support for The Luoma Family - John & Jess

Redding, CA

Story

UPDATE: She has been rockin being off oxygen support for the past week 🙌 she has been working on feeding by mouth both breastfeeding and bottle & slowly increasing her total percentage! That's really our last step before we can go home. I'm praying it will be sometime next week! UPDATE: She’s fully off oxygen support and just working on feeding by mouth. Home stretch! She’s over 8lbs now. Doing great with breastfeeding! They had to put her back on cpap for 18hrs to help her lungs expand & are slowly decreasing the time on that. There’s a possibility she will go home on oxygen support. They hope not though! As for her MRI, they did not find any new bleeding or injury. They did see the old injury— bleeding & tissue shrinkage, that could present some developmental difficulties. They didn’t seem very concerned about it though and said they’re hopeful about therapeutic interventions and the brain’s neuroplasticity! Jess Luoma went into labor early on November 24th and at only 24 weeks pregnant gave birth to beautiful baby girl Kiah, a preemie who weighed only 1.6 lbs. Jess and baby are at UCSF where they will remain until February or March. PLEASE pray for Kiah, she is the tiniest little survivor! Pray for her brain and liver as the family waits for miracles, and pray for Jess, John and the two children Judah and Mojave.


Special Notes

Immediate needs are preemie clothes. When Kiah is able to go home they will need baby gear: glider, and some decorations. Meals and Door Dash would be helpful - feel free to coordinate that with Jess at 619-813-4576. Other needs - the family was on the process of clearing out their office to turn it into a nursery/big sisters room. if anyone can help that would be incredible. They need someone who can get a heavy desk moved, and clearing out the rest of the stuff. They were also planning on building a custom closet in the room - would need a contractor who could help. Other needs once the closet is built, painting, a glider and decorating. If you can help with any of the following please email karen@risenking.org
