You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Welcome friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my blog. It documents my amazing journey from pre to post double lung transplant. I am a 37 year old mother and wife with Cystic Fibrosis who has been more greatly blessed than I could ever imagine possible!

It has been a bumpy ride, but God has given me strength, love, friendship, and, FINALLY, health. My prayers have been answered, my miracle was granted, and I want to share the joy of my new life with you.

If you are a first time visitor, please take a moment to watch The Miracle of Transplantation video below. To me, pictures speak a thousand words.

My entries begin in April of 2008 and my double lung transplant was December 10. Scroll down to my blog archive and you can read from the beginning or jump around. If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use the search engine.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

I hope I can help you to experience the love God has for each and every one of us!

May God Bless You with Miracles in Your Life! Nancy

Hard Day

Hello my friends,

I usually try to be upbeat in my posts, but I have to be honest, the wait and being away from Scott and Hannah is really getting to me. My heart aches to hold my little girl, I have never been away from her for so long. I know God will send me the right lungs at the right time, but it is getting harder and harder to be patient and at peace. I know today's sadness will pass and tomorrow will start another day with a new fresh perspective, but for right now, I need your prayers to heal my heart. This chance for lungs is such a wonderful and blessed opportunity and I keep reminding myself, that this time away from Hannah will hopefully buy me a few more years at her side. It will be worth it, that I am sure of!

May you all feel my love and friendship! Nancy

Nancy,

I know it must be so difficult to be away from those you love most. Do you by chance have a web cam? The kids and I use Skype to talk to each other when I'm away(it's free when you call computer to computer) and it helps to be able to see each other each night. I admire your patience and strength - even during the long days. Hang in there!

Dear my friend,
I can only imagine how hard it must be to be away from Hannah and Scott. My heart aches for you. Brighter days are ahead, though. Each day you get closer and closer to getting your new lungs. God has it planned for the perfect time. It's okay to have a down day; they make the happy days all the happier.
Know I'm praying for your peace.
Love you!
Deb
PS: I love the hair!
