Miracles do happen....

Miracles do happen when you least expect it....It all started  on May 31st.  Just a normal night checking emails, after I opened Yahoo and noticed a video about a little girl that had surgery to correct her ears due to bullying.  The link took me to an amazing site "The Little Baby Face Foundation".   I noticed there was an "apply here" area and thought what the heck.  I had mentioned to Morgan that one day I might be able to get his ears fixed if I could find a way.  He had been bullied and called names in school for years.  Last year in 7th grade it got so bad the principal let him leave 5 minutes before the other kids so he could get a head start towards home.  I ended up picking him up as often as I could so he didn't have to walk home alone.  We live almost a mile from school and that can be a long quiet walk....alone. After coming across the LBFF site I applied just to see what would happen.  The following weekend I received an email asking for more pictures of Morgan.  I remember thinking oh crap I haven't even told him...when I did he started to cry and said "Mommy I really want my ears fixed I am so sick of kids picking on me."  So we took more pictures and I asked him if he wanted to put in his own words why he wanted to have them fixed, and here is what he wrote...

dear doctor,

my mom just told me that she just sent you a letter and i want to tell you why i want my ears fixed. the reasons i want my ears fixed is because im sick of being made fun of. people at school always have a name for me that is very rude, and those words make me very depressed and make me not want to go to school. one thing i hate doing because of my ears is swimming because people see my ears and call me dumbo ears or big eared freak. those are some of the ways that i get picked on. i really want this surgery because some of my sadness will go away and i will be able to have beautiful ears. well thank you for reading this email.

I sent the letter and pics.  About two weeks later Morgan asked if I heard anything yet from the "ear people".  I told him not yet but if it was meant to be we would hear something soon.  On Monday night I missed a call on my cell and when I dialed my voicemail I was so astonished to hear " Hi this is Diane from Little Baby Face Foundation.  I would like to talk to you as soon as possible could you please call tomorrow."  I couldn't believe it...I dialed the number and it was the office of Dr Thomas Romo in Manhatten NYC!!  This is real!!! I called my daughter right away and told her, she said "Mom they aren't messin around Morgans gonna get ear surgery!! They don't call to say no!!"  I couldn't believe it and I know I didn't sleep much that night .  I called on my way to work and got the voicemail, I left a message for a return call at my office.  I told my coworker to answer my phone if I wasn't there, I didn't want to miss Diane's call.  The phone rang just before lunch...I saw the area code and knew this was it!!!  I answered and it was Diane, I said "I'm not sure if I should be excited or prepared." I was not sure what she was going to say.  She said "Oh you need to be excited Morgan has been chosen to come to New York City for surgery!!"...those words would change our lives forever.......
