Sorry we haven't posted on our blog in a long while!! Most everyone seems to prefer the <a abp="267" href="https://www.facebook.com/Helpinghands4morgan/" target="_blank">Helping Hands 4 Morgan</a> facebook page. I have had a few requests for updates here on the blog so I promise I will try to keep this site updated as well.</div>

Tumor is STABLE and eye surgery went well!! At almost 5 years past diagnosis and only 7 1/2 years old, unbelievably, Morgan is now considered to be a "long term survivor"! One of the nurses taking blood actually referred to her as an "old timer"! To hear these words used about our little miracle child is just surreal in so many ways! We can't say it enough, thank you St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for taking such phenomenal care of Morgan and helping her defy the o<span abp="174" class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span abp="175" class="text_exposed_show">dds, we are so very grateful!! </span></div>

Morgan's right eye turning inward was what allowed us to get Morgan diagnosed so early and while the radiation greatly helped her eye, it has never been 100% since diagnosis. Unbelievably, she actually has perfect vision but her alignment has always been off and she has always had to compensate, sometimes experiencing double vision. She had some corrective surgery on Tuesday and we are hoping that it helps her eye to be more "normal". Will take a good 6-8 weeks for it to be completely healed but we are really hoping it helps her stop seeing double, especially at school.</div>

The annual St. Jude Give Thanks Walk has changed to the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer and will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at the Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip. We have signed up our Helping Hands 4 Morgan team once again and are beyond excited to fundraise for this amazing Hospital! I will also be sending out a link to a custom ink booster page where you can purchase a Helping Hands 4 Morgan t-shirt. All the profits from the t-shirt sales will go directly to our Walk goal to help the kids of St. Jude! Once I launch the booster, it will run till August 23 and t-shirt orders will be mailed out about 10 days after the end date. If you have any questions about the walk or the t-shirts, please don't hesitate to ask!</div>

It was extra fun for us because this was the first year that Morgan was able to stay awake long enough to enjoy herself! She even got in an extra special Daddy/Daughter dance!<br />

Against all odds, our little miracle continues to do well! Doctor said that we can start spacing out her visits a little more so her next trip will be sometime in August before school starts up again. Every time she goes for scans we hold our breathe. Hearing the words "stable" and "no growth" come out of the Doctors mouth is such an incredible relief and reminds us how lucky we really are and to cherish every day we have with her and, of course, Hunter and Wyatt too! So very thankful to St. Jude Children's Reseach Hospital!! Special thanks to Mrs. Baldwin for allowing Morgan to take Mr. Bear, again!<br />

STABLE!!!!! No growth, scans looked good! Great way to start the holiday season, so very very very thankful!! <br /> Meet Mr. Bear, Mrs. Baldwin's Kindergarten class mascot. Every child gets to take Mr. Bear home at some point or another thro<span class="text_exposed_show">ughout the year. Morgan asked Mrs. Baldwin if Mr. Bear could keep her company on her trip down to Memphis, TN to St. Jude. Mr. Bear went absolutely everywhere with Morgan, got his own hospital bracelet, and he even got "sleepy medicine" when Morgan went in for her MRI. Even Morgan's beloved Pooh Bear took a back seat to Mr. Bear. For the first time in 3 years Pooh didn't go back with Morgan for her MRI, she took Mr. Bear instead! Thank you Mrs. Baldwin, words can't express how much this meant to Morgan and to us too!!</span><span class="text_exposed_hide"> </span></div>

<strong>Three years and still going strong!</strong></div>
<br />
The survival time for most DIPG patients is only 6-9 months after diagnosis. There is no rhyme or reason why Morgan has survived 3 years while others do not. It is hard to describe the guilt you feel hearing about so many other children dying of the same tumor and from other types of cancer when your child is somehow defying the odds. It goes without saying how grateful and overjoyed we are to have Morgan here with us and we feel that is in large part due to the phenomenal care that she receives at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! So in memory of all the children that have been taken from this world way too early and in honor of Morgan and all the other children battling cancer everyday, we have once again signed up our <a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Walk/Walk?team_id=69016&pg=team&fr_id=21008" target="_blank">Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team</a> in the <a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Walk/Walk?team_id=69016&pg=team&fr_id=21008" target="_blank">St. Jude Give Thanks Walk </a>on Saturday, November 22, 2014! We would love some new team members this year and, if you are able, would greatly appreciate any type of donation, big or small. <br />

On September 16, 2011 we were given the most devastating news that our little girl had an inoperable brainstem tumor, DIPG, and that she would have at the very most 2 years left with us. Thanks to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital she is going on 3 years!! It is hard to put into words why we love St. Jude so much and how grateful we are to have them take the most phenomenal care of Morgan!<br /><br /> To help give back to this extraordinary Hospital, our <a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Walk/Walk?team_id=69016&pg=team&fr_id=21008" target="_blank">Helping Hands 4 Morgan team</a> has once again signed up for the <a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Walk/Walk?team_id=69016&pg=team&fr_id=21008" target="_blank">St. Jude Give Thanks Walk</a>! We have been the #1 fundraising team on Long Island the last 2 years and hope to keep our title again for 2014 (we have some competition this year!). If you can, please help us raise awareness for Childhood Cancer and either join our team or help us fundraise for St. Jude so they can continue their mission of helping Morgan and all children fight cancer!! Thanks for your continued support!<br />

On Saturday, March 15, 2014, over 300 guests gathered at Oheka Castle for the 2nd Annual Gold Coast Cares for St. Jude event. Together, the Long Island community raised over $300,000 for the kids of St. Jude.<br /><span class="text_exposed_show"><br />We were so happy to have my brother Bill and his wife Marissa and Adam's sister Erin come with us this year. We had a wonderful time and were honored to be apart of such a special evening! Thank you Gold Coast and everyone at ALSAC for everything you do for the families of St. Jude!</span></div>

Celebrated with her classmates at preschool this morning, lunch at Applebees, some fun at Safari Adventure with her best friend and big sister, Hunter, and we ended the day with a yummy snowman ice cream cake. Morgan is super excited for the weekend when she will have a Frozen (both girls are obsessed with this Disney movie)themed party with all of her girlfriends from school and all of her cousins. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day!!<br />

This was her first MRI since coming off her chemo (study drug) in October so we couldn't be happier! All her blood counts came way up too since stopping the drug which means she can come off her very last pill that she was taking. She is officially drug free! <i class="_4-k1 img sp_12foup sx_d33d5e"></i> She's fighting this tumor with everything she's got and we are just so proud of her! She is a walking miracle, we have so very much to be thankful for this holiday season! We'll head back down the beginning of February.</span><br />

Although, each Chili's restaurant menu selection will depend if they finished up their last batch but I'm thinking most Chili's should have the one with Morgan by now. For all of us North Forkers, I do know that the Chili's right off exit 62 on the LIE has them in!</span></span><br />

With all your generous donations, we were awarded the Top Fundraising Team plaque for the 2nd year in a row! We also won best t-shirt design! :) We don't have exact numbers (they are still tallying last minute donations handed in at the walk) but I believe all of Long Island raised around $100,000 and our Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team raised over $15,000 (if my calculations are correct)!! We will keep you posted. We are so thankful for all our family, friends, and community that supported our team, we couldn't have done this without you!!! I have a little album on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.758357817524532.1073741829.293372820689703&type=1&l=033422c49b" target="_blank">Helping Hands 4 Morgan Facebook site</a> or click to your right on our St. Jude Give Thanks Walk 2013 album. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Thanks again and we hope you all have an incredible Thanksgiving! What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season by giving back to such a phenomenal Hospital, we have so much to be thankful for!!</span><br />

We have been asked to be apart of the opening ceremony and, don't forget, our Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team are the walk leaders! We will be heading to the Hurricane Grill and Wings in Hauppauge (totally optional and very close to walk) afterwards to eat and they will be donating a percentage of your bill to St. Jude as well, for anyone that would like to join us (no pressure!). As of this morning our team total is $7010 and as soon as the Fitness Advantage donations are added to the total, we will be OVER our $10,000 goal and we hope to keep going until the walk!!!!! THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up to walk and all of our generous donors, you guys made this happen and we couldn't be happier! We are so very grateful to have such supportive family, friends, and community in our lives! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Look forward to seeing you all at the walk!</span><br />The Westshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04300410521233478645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695381403250458065.post-71157151425841470412013-11-10T09:36:00.000-05:002013-11-10T09:36:51.143-05:00Fitness Advantage Tag Team Challenge <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Adam and I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Sarah Sirico and everyone at Fitness Advantage for hosting this amazing and fun event for St. Jude! Also, just wanted to acknowledge and THANK this awesome community that we live in, the support we have been receiving over the last 2 years is so very much appreciated and words can't describe how unbelievable happy we are to have such wonderful people in our lives. You raised over $3000 on Saturday for an extraordinary hospital!!! Once this money is put toward our <a href="http://walk.stjude.org/morgan" target="_blank">St. Jude Give Thanks Walk Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team</a>, we will have raised a total of over $9000!!! We will be less than $1000 away from our $10,000 goal and (hopefully) secure our spot as the #1 fundraising team on Long Island! Being able to give back to a Hospital that has given us so much love, support, and care means the world to us and we can't thank you ALL enough! We are so very proud of our team, all the generous donors, and everyone that has helped us along the way!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our Helping Hands 4 Morgan team has had some pretty generous donations over the last few weeks and we have, so far, raised $5995!!! THANK YOU!! We raised $6635 last year, we are confident that we can beat our own record and we are really hoping to be the #1 fundraising team on Long Island again! The team in 1st place now has raised over $7900, there is still time, we can do this! My dream of being #1 in all of NY was cut short by Eric Trump and Elvis Duran when they formed the Elvis Trumps Cancer team. There is no competing with a Trump but that is ok because they have raised over $32,000 and our ultimate goal is to raise as much money as we can for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Adam and I were asked to speak at a fundraising event for St. Jude last Friday night in NJ, hosted by a committee called St. Jude Angels for Hope. What an incredible evening, filled with such unbelievably kind and generous people, it was truly inspiring!! When we left, they were $10,000 short of raising 1 MILLION Dollars!!! THANK YOU Angels for Hope and all the guests that attended, it was truly an honor to be a part of such a beautiful night!</span><br />
