In memory of our precious baby, Remington "Remi" Lyn Remer: June 5, 2009

Today, we got to make 2 more R Angel deliveries. One was another basket of goodies to a family staying at the hospital with one of their twins, Adrienne. This mother has been staying at the hospital with her sick daughter and has been keeping Adrienne's twin there as well. Her story was brought to our attention by a simple phone call and we hopefully were able to help out their family in a small way. Our second delivery was to a family that recently had twins at 25 weeks gestation. One of the twins did not make it and went to be with our daughter Remi in heaven, but the other twin is fighting very hard and is doing quite well. He was born at only 1 lb. 9 oz., but is ever so cute and is holding his own right now. This family is not able to stay over night at the hospital because baby Evan is going to be there for several weeks, but we were able to give them some gift cards that hopefully will help with the purchase of food and drinks when coming to the hospital daily over the next couple of months. Thank you to everyone who has donated to R Angel to make these deliveries possible. Please keep baby Adrienne and baby Evan in your prayers!

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

How awesome to be doing such a great thing for these people. What is even more ironic is that Adrienne is my cousin Jenny's daughter. What a small world it is and what a blessing for you guys to be doing this. Looking forward to hearing from you.
God Bless -

I think what you are doing is the best thing in the world. You are the most kind hearted people. Amy, even though I only met you once I can see the love that you hold within your heart. Your daughter, Remi, will be remember through all the help that Ben and you have given. Thank you very much!!!
