In memory of our precious baby, Remington "Remi" Lyn Remer: February 2010

Today, we sent a basket of food and goodies to family friends that are staying at Cincinnati Children's Hospital with their 4 year old son, Ricky, who has SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). He now has RSV and is going to be in the hospital for a little while until he can get well enough to come home. We sent his parents some food and drinks to have while staying at the hospital, as well as some goodies for Ricky's sisters to keep them busy when visiting. Please keep Ricky and his entire family in your thoughts and prayers!

Today we sent 2 more R Angel VISAs. One was for a family that lives down in Dayton & their little baby boy, Callan, has a brain bleed and has been in the hospital for a while now. He is doing OK, but it sounds like they are going to be there for quite a while longer. We are hoping this gift will help them pay for expenses they may incur traveling back and forth to and from the hospital daily. The other is for a family that had twins prematurely. One twin has been discharged, but the other is still in the NICU. Please keep this little baby and Callan in your thoughts and prayers!

Today, we delivered 2 R Angel baskets of food and goodies to families at The Toledo Hospital. One was for a family with a newborn baby in the NICU & the other for a family with a little boy in the PICU. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers!

We also made 7 baskets full of bathroom supplies, including shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, a toothbrush, mouthwash, and deodorant, and put them in the shower room on the children's floor at the hospital. This is the place where families can shower if they are staying at the hospital with their child. Hopefully, these baskets will be helpful for families using the shower room.

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
