We arrived here yesterday in plenty of time for my 2:45 doctor's appointment. It was horrible leaving Hannah, but I know this will change both of our lives for the better. She and Scott will visit as often as they can.
Everything is a go for transplant; I was officially re-activated on the list this morning. I am not feeling well at all today. I probably overdid yesterday, so I am trying to just rest.
I did have a very exciting thing happen last night. I got to meet a young woman from Idaho who also has CF and received a double lung transplant here in December. I had learned about her in February and we had e-mailed a few times, and yesterday when I checked her blog, I realized she had an appointment with Dr. Pilewski too. God works in wonderful ways, I happened to see her and her husband in the kitchen last night and found out they are our next door neighbors. We had a wonderful visit and she shared a lot about what I will be facing. She is beautiful, healthy, and full of energy post-transplant. What an awesome inspiration for me.
I have posted the address here at Family House and the phone number for those of you who had requested it.
Now we just need to pray and put everything into God's hands. When the time is right, my miracle will happen.
God bless you all! Nancy

How wonderful to receive your fantastic news of meeting up with your new friend from Idaho who has already blazed the trail for you. She will be invaluable as she shares the details of what lies ahead for you. So glad she is doing so well just 5 months post transplant. Yes, God surely had a hand in connecting the two of you in person! We will eagerly await your next message and will continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers.
