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

Monday, May 12

I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. We were able to go out to lunch yesterday for Mother's Day and visit Scott's and my favorite store, IKEA. It was fun to show my parents around IKEA, since we talk about it all the time, but the magic just wasn't there without my Scotty.

When we got home, I was exhausted and continue to be tired today. My parents headed out to a lung transplant orientation class at the hospital. I had hoped to go with them, but just didn't have the strength. Scott and I attended the class back in October.

I have a cute story to share. Last night when I talked to Hannah on the phone I told her to pray extra hard that my lungs would come this week. Her response was, "Your lungs can't come this week, if they do, you won't be able to camp with us this weekend!" (Scott and Hannah are bringing our little camper and staying at a campground nearby this weekend. We are hoping I will be able to stay with them Friday night.) My sweet little daughter! As much as I'd love to "camp" with them this weekend, I would much prefer to be recovering with new lungs!

Well, I need to go back to bed, but please pray extra hard that my lungs may come this week. I am ready to move forward!

With love and prayers, Nancy

Nancy, my dear,
You are NOT going camping this weekend! IF you're not recovering with a new set of lungs, then you will be resting up to have full strength for the surgery! Silly goose! Hannah is a cutie. Funny how kids think. It will be wonderful for you to see Scott and Hannah this weekend. I bet they're really looking forward to the visit, too. NO camping! Hear me?
Extra special prayers for lungs are in the works.
Love you!
Deb
