Baby Cylas & Hominger Family Fund



On 7/15/2015, Cylas August Hominger was born to Chris & Regina (Gina) Hominger and big sister Faithmarie. He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Upon entering the world, Cylas developed complications immediately. His breathing was labored and he was rushed to the local childrens hospital. Unforeseen with previous ultrasounds, Cylas was diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia on the right side.  His liver and intestines had herniated into his right lung space underdeveloping both lungs.  He required full ventilation and ECMO to help filtrate his oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. 

On  7/22, Cylas went in to surgery to fix herniation. Surgery was successful and as they were moving him off the table, his left lung (the better of the two) developed two holes. They rushed to get his body stabilized. From that point on, he remained in critical but stable condition. 

It is with great sadness and heartache that we share that yesterday evening (7/25)after a long struggle his lungs could not keep up with his body. His closest friends and family members stood by his bedside as we celebrated his 11 days here with us. We expressed our thankfulness in having met this amazing little man and were able to kiss his cheeks as we said goodbye. Chris and Gina were able to hold him for the first time since he was born. Baby cylas passed away peacefully In his parents arms at 1:10 am 7/26/15.

He will be dearly missed but not forgotten. We will posting a celebration of life service information soon. Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement.

We are initiating this campaign to assist with all various expenses accrued during the hospital stay, loss of wages, unforeseen funeral expenses and continued loss of wages as they grieve and to help with a few major expenses the family needs as they move forward in grief. 

A family member has graciously offered to match any funds provided.
