We are now on facebook.  I think it will be easier to follow the activities Morgan's Magical Ear's is up to on facebook.  My blog will still be updated as usual.  The blog will contain health issues that of course facebook won't.

Community Day September 7, 2013

Hi Everyone!

I had the most amazing day this past Saturday.  Our local towns get together and have what is called community day.  About a month ago we decided to get moving and try to figure out some new ways to make some money to get more buckets to CHOP.

I have an amazing Aunt Becky who is so talented and she designed shirts for me.  We ordered t-shirts to sell.  We also sold funny cakes.  My Poppop thought we were nuts when we went to pick them up.  He couldn't believe we ordered 50 funny cakes.  He thought to himself what on earth are you going to do with all those cakes.  Well, Poppop was surprised because every single funny cake sold!  We also sold Woofi the missionary puppies.  I made 50.00 on the rubber band braclets that I make myself from my rainbow loom.  A rainbow loom is a plastic loom and you hook rubber bands onto the loom in different ways and they form a braclet.  They were very  very popular.

I had a view moments Saturday that were very memorable!  At 11:00 Mrs Moll, a teacher from Upper Perkiomen Middle School stopped at our booth.  She brought with her some of her students.  These amazing kids gave me a card and inside the card was $295.00 that they raised themselves.  Everyone had a tear in their eye from that gesture.  Kids Helping a Kid to make other Kids smile.  How about that!!!!  I made sure I got all my thank you notes done so that they could all be sent out in the mail or delivered in person today.

The other moment that was beyond what we could have expected happened almost at the end of the day.  A family came by and we started chatting a bit cause it wasn't so full anymore.  They have a sweet little baby that will be getting a bone marrow transplant in October.  They also have another little girl that is the donor for her sister.  These two special little girls both went home with sand buckets and each have a Woofi to take with them to CHOP.  We hope to follow their journey and pray for all God's miracles to be with them.  God is so good and he puts the right people in the right places just when they need them.  The mommy of these little girls needed to come by our booth at just the right time.  AND, let me tell you that wasn't luck was it??  No it was God working. 

Thank you for all the support I received on Saturday.  I really appreciate everything that people do for me and my buckets.

Wedding favor drop off will be coming up in 5 weeks. Won't CHOP be surprised when I bring a real bride and groom with me to drop off those buckets.

Love to all!

10, 9, 8, 7........... getting ready for the big day!

Hi everyone!

School has started and I totally love love love my classroom and teacher.  Mrs Smith is awesome.  She is comfortable with all the hearing things that go together with who I am.  The FM system is set up and working great.  So far nothing could be going more smoothly in the classroom.  One of my N5 is defective again.  We are waiting for a coil and hoping that fixes the problem.  As of now I am using my old Freedom as the back up for that ear.  I don't notice much difference.  If I was older I probably would though.  I can hear Teen Beach Movie just fine, along with Jessie, my other favorite show.

We had a fun time the last weekend of summer at the beach.  Uncle Jamie and Becky were also down.  It is fun when the beach house is full.  Speaking of Jamie and Becky the big wedding is only 6 weeks away.  It is getting so close.  They are very excited and I am also.  I can't wait to be their flower girl.

This coming Saturday Mommy and me are doing a booth at Pennsburg East Greenville Community Days.  We reserved space for two tables.  We will be raising money for the Woofi buckets.  We are selling the Morgan's Magical Ears t-shirts, 50 funny cakes and 36 Woofi's.  Nana Sue (Woofi's owner) is giving us the 36 to sell.  For each Woofi purchased Nana Sue will donate one to the CHOP project.  Nana Sue ROCKS!

My Uncle Tom made the banner for the booth. That is also very cool.  He donated that to me.  It just goes to show you if you treat people with respect and love them as you love yourself it comes back around.  I treat people the way I want to be treated.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out this works so well both ways. AND it feels good!

Here is a picture of Mommom, Poppop, Rylee and me from this past weekend.

Love, Morgan

Great News!

Hello Everyone!

Yesterday I received in the mail the most awesome gift.  As you all know I have been waiting to hear back from AG Bell on the application I put in for a scholarship so that I can stay at Pennview Christian School.  Yes!  I received a very generous scholarship from the organization.  AG Bell is an organization that helps the hard of hearing and deaf communities.  I will be staying at Pennview!!!!!  This means the world to me. 

Yesterday was also orientation at Pennview.  I met my teacher and saw some of my new classmates.  Mrs Smith is very pretty.  I am anxious to start second grade.  I was also happy to see some of my friends were going to also be in my classroom.  We have 15 kids in our class counting me.  The room is carpeted and the shades in the room are room darkening so I wont have a problem with sound or visual needs.  I watch the teachers face very closely while she talks.  I am a listener with my implants as well as my eyes.

Today I will be paying it forward in celebration of my scholarship from AG Bell.  I wrote out 6 little (pay it forward) notes and put my sticker on that goes on my buckets.  We already paid it forward twice today and are looking for 4 more lucky people.  Our first stop was at Dunkin Donuts in Pennsburg.  The second one was at Starbucks in Quakertown.  Lucky for me the gentlemen at Starbucks didn't have a huge bill.  I hope these lucky people are excited and maybe some day pay it forward also.

See  you all Monday for my first day of school picture.

Lots of Love!

So Much To Do!

Boy oh boy are we busy here at Morgan's Magical Ears!  We have so much wonderful stuff going on.  I am mainly posting this for our own benefit of remembering.

School starts in 1 more week.  My Mom met my teacher last week.  Her name is Mrs Shawn Smith.  I hope I didn't make her to nervous when she found  out she was getting the cute little deaf girl in her classroom.  My teacher from last year was also in the meeting and she was giving her little pointers so she wouldn't be too scared.  It isn't that hard though.  I take care of my own implants at school.  Very seldom do they need attention but when they do I am capable now.  Even though I hear very well with my implants I will still always be deaf.  Because of that God gave me gifts such as my other senses are very fine tuned.  I am an awesome lipreader!  I didn't have to learn that, it just happened.  I am a visual person and am always watching your faces when you talk to me.  So, that being said let me see your pretty color eyes and don't be looking at  my magnets instead of me!  Mrs Miller explained to the new teacher that if her blinds are pulled on a sunny day that I can see her better without a glare from the sun interfering.  When I listen to people and miss a word my brain will be trying to fill in the blank of the word that I missed and because of that I have missed the next part of what you are talking about.  Get it????  I am a good advocate for myself in asking a teacher or friend to repeat themselves but its easier if they are aware of how my implants work.  Pennview did an awesome job making sure my FM/Soundfield was labeled when they had to return it to the intermediate unit.  Hopefully, that will go smoothly and it will be sent back to Pennview in September this year.  Last year I was without the soundfield for the better part of the year.  When we did get it, it didn't work properly at first.  Here is to a new year though!

I am going to be starting dance classes in September.  I tried this once before but I only had one ear at the time.  It was too hard.  All that tapping going on didn't allow me to hear instructions very easily.  I am now older and have two implants.  I know this is going to be so much fun! 

We are doing a fundraiser in September.  My Aunt Becky has designed Morgan's Magical Ear's t shirts.  We are in the middle of getting prices on them from different screen printers and hoping we get them to print this week.  We are also selling funny cakes at our upcoming community days on September 6th.  I am hoping we raise a lot of money with the Tshirt sales and the funny cakes.  I was talking to my Mommom last night about my future goals with my buckets.  I told it I would love to see EVERY child leave CHOP Chalfont with a Woofi puppy.  That puppy is the most popular thing in the buckets and the kids all just love him dearly.  Even after they are better.
More exciting things are happening with Woofi but I will post that at a later date.

Love to All!
