Remy's Medical Fund

Donation protected
As many of you know, my brother and sister-in-laws youngest son Remy (1 years old) pulled a crock pot full of boiling hot cider on top of his body on December 20, 2014 which resulted in 2nd & 3rd degree burns covering his head, neck, shoulder, both arms, and both legs.

Remy was med-flighted to the nearest hospital with  a burn unit (Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC). He stayed at Baptist Hospital for 6.5 days before he was able to be transferred to the Shriners Hospital in Ohio. He underwent several surgeries to insert a central line, clean his wounds, as well as the placement of cadaver skin on his face and removal of dead tissue and the placement of integra on his leg.

We are waiting to find out if Remy will need skin graphs to his leg which will require an additional surgery. They are currently estimating his stay at the hospital at a minimum of a month and a half. Remy will require additional therapy, possible plastic surgery, and additional follow-up care for at least the next two years.

My brother's children are uninsured and while the hospital stay at Shriner's is covered through generous donors, the hospital bill at Baptist is uncovered which included several surgies, his flight to the hospital, as well as admission rates, medications, etc. My sister in law is a stay at home mother to their 3 wonderful boys including (Zander-7, and Liam-3) and my brother is a former Iraqi Vet who works to support them full time.  

Please consider taking a moment to donate any amount to help with medical expenses so my brother has the ability to stay at home to care for the other two children without having to worry about getting back to work so soon.

We cannot express the gratitude that we feel from others near and far, young and old, from friends, family, and even strangers. Your throughts, prayers, and donations mean the world to us and we appreciate each and every one of you.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we love you!
