In memory of our precious baby, Remington "Remi" Lyn Remer: October 30, 2014

I am very behind on my posts - sorry! A few weeks ago, we sent out 3 more VISA gift cards. One went to the family of little baby Evelyn, who was born 6 weeks early by emergency c-section & had to go the NICU.

Another went to the family of a little girl that was in a car accident with her mom. The mom & little girl both ended up in the hospital, but in separate hospitals, so extended family was taking turns being with each of them. What a difficult situation for all!

The last gift card went to the family of twins, Alex & Max. When the twins were born, Max had to go to the NICU & Alex was able to go home. Due to all the viruses going around & NICU rules, it was difficult for mom to take Alex with her when she went to be with Max. Therefore, mom & dad took turns staying at the hospital & at home with each baby. Both twins are now home & doing great, so praise the Lord for that :)

All these stories just bring me back to when we spent so much time in the hospital with Remi & Benzen. It is so difficult living in the hospital, especially when you just want to take your child home. Please pray for all these families & all the other families that we don't know about! The holiday season is coming up very quickly & although I pray all the children can be home for the holidays, I know that's just not reality. So pray for their strength to get through these difficult days!

Thank you for your prayers & support! By the way, we are working on getting R Angel to be an official non-profit organization! So exciting!!!

About R Angel

On March 13, 2009, at 9:41 pm, we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Remington Lyn. We were aware that she was going to have Down syndrome, and we were so excited about the journey ahead of us. That night and the next day many doctors checked her out, and we were told she was healthy and could go home with us the next day. We took our little angel home the next day and were able to spend 3 wonderful nights at home as a family. Then Remi was admitted back into the hospital for jaundice. She was soon diagnosed with Hirschsprung's Disease and was scheduled for surgery. On March 26, 2009, she had her first surgery and complications started soon after. On March 27, 2009, she had her second surgery. Ten days later, on April 6, 2009, she left our arms and went to heaven to be with Jesus. While Remi was in the hospital, we stayed right by her side every second of every day. Our wonderful family and friends brought us all the shower/bathroom supplies we needed, clothes from our home, and more food than you could imagine. However, we realized through this whole experience, how difficult it can be having a child in the hospital for many days and how hard it is to live out of a waiting room. Because of this, we created R Angel. The money donated to R Angel is used to help families of sick children. We use the money to purchase and deliver care packages with shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc., baskets of food and drinks, and hot meals from our favorite restaurants to families living in the hospital with their children. We also use the money to purchase prepaid VISAs for families that may be traveling back and forth to the hospital daily to be with their child as well as families that are in hospitals outside the Toledo and surrounding area. We want to keep the spirit of our daughter alive and want to help families staying at the hospital as so many helped us.

God Bless! Ben & Amy
