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 5



Let me start this beautiful Monday by sharing that Hannah caught her first fish on Saturday. She was very excited and her daddy was very proud. They also finished the floor to a tree house they have been working on, so they had a fun and busy weekend.

My fever returned yesterday afternoon, but I am back to normal this morning. It sounds like I will be able to be released back to Family House on home IV therapy as soon as the fever is gone and I feel ready. There are several patients with resistant bacteria in the hospital right now, so my doctor wants to get me out of here as soon as possible.

The sun is shining, my mom is with me, and I am starting to feel better. What a good way to start the week!

I wanted to share a quote I recently saw that I think is terrific:

"Every human is a mirror in which God hopes to see HIMSELF"

I have seen God daily in the love given to me by all of you! Nancy

Good Monday Morning Nancy!
It is truly amazing how you can constantly find beauty with all that you are fighting. You are AMAZING! How cool that Hannah caught her first fish. What an experience for both Scott and Hannah! I know they are missing you but it also looks like they are having fun and making the best of the situation. I cannot wait to see Hannah's tree house someday. Oh, the fun she will have in that! Continue to get better so you can be released and get away from those germy germs! You are a true fighter and I am blown away by your ability to stay strong and focused on what God gives you every day! I love you Nancy! Hang in there and have your mom give you a squeeze for me. Give her a squeeze as well. All my best always!

Love you,

Debbie

Beautiful pictures Nancy. Hannah is so grown up. It is so amazing, it seems like yesterday our kids were babies. I hope that they get to come and visit you soon. I am so glad that you are starting to feel better!
Lots of love and hugs,
Amy

Excellent to hear that you are feeling better! The kids have been asking about you everytime I get a chance to see them (as much as possible, almost every weekend!), and I inform them daily of your situation. Amber wanted me to have you tell Hannah hello and that hopefully, in the near future they will get to meet. She is tired of having nothing but boys around! LOL

I will keep up to date on your situation and I hope that you are feeling comfy! Keep strong sis and I will talk at ya later!

All the best,


Me

P.S. sorry for the deletion of my last post, but I re-read it and I really need to go back to school! lol
