So I have roped in Shane and a few friends and we are abseiling 80ft down a cliff at Berry Head in Brixham!
To tie in with asking people to donate to The MPS Society I took to Facebook for a countdown whilst raising awareness of how we live with MPS and what Corey has to deal with on a daily basis.
Then this weekend I thought I should put it on here also - for those of you who aren't on Facebook and may still get an email if you're following the blog!
So here's the catch up for the past 10 days!
29 days to go til we lower ourselves down an 80ft cliff! Shane Jeffery Phillip Butterfield Kate Davies Please donate at: www.justgiving.com/mpsabseil
I figured I'd give you an insight into life with MPS over the next 29 days. The good, the bad and the ugly - it's all in the same package you see.
I'll start with an obvious one - Corey wears hearing aids.
He was born with severe hearing loss which has fluctuated over the years and, at the moment, he is classed as 'moderately severe' meaning he can't hear a dog bark, an alarm clock and certain phonic sounds like ch, sh, k, ee and f without his aids.
He has hearing tests locally every 8-12 weeks which take about an hour and is also seen in school by a hearing advisory teacher each half term for about half an hour.
Corey wears radio aids at school which allow his hearing aids to filter out background noise so that he can just hear the teacher.
He wears his hearing aids from 7am til 7pm.
Corey chooses the colour of his hearing aid moulds each time they need changing, at the moment they are green and yellow!
