COMMUNITY News:

Johnathan and Rhiana Guise’s infant son, Ryder, needs the community’s support.

Ryder was born Jan. 21 and suffered from a series of medical complications immediately after birth including developing pneumonia and contracting the flu, and further complications from his breathing treatment that caused leakage of air from his lungs into his chest cavity. Ryder was airlifted to Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque and was treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for 10 days.

Ryder is now home but continues to be on oxygen and requires home health care.

To help the Guise family with medical expenses, a donation fund is set up at Los Alamos National Bank. The name of the fund is Ryder Lee Guise Medical Fund, the account number is 0174497601 and the routing number is 107001012.

Jonathan Guise has served as director for Dance Arts Los Alamos (DALA) for the last 18 months and created many ballets for the community including the Snow Queen in December. Rhiana Guise also teaches classes at DALA and works as an instructional assistant at Mountain Elementary School.
