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

Good News

Good Morning!

For those of you who know me well, you know not getting an update from me for a couple of days is probably not a good sign.  I have been feeling pretty lousy and sleeping quite a bit.  At first I thought it was just the exhaustion of our trip to Pittsburgh, but by Monday I realized I was just plain sick.  I was able to start IV antibiotics on Tuesday, so I am hopeful things will be looking up.  I just can't seem to function without the assistance of IVs.

I do have some wonderful news to report, however.  I had a lovely talk with Julie this morning.  She is doing GREAT and is out of ICU.  She has been receiving Enteral feeds through a feeding tube like mine and has been tolerating that well, so hopefully in the next couple of days she will graduate to a liquid diet.  She told me she was able to get out of bed and walk around her room yesterday.  She sounded strong and happy and I couldn't help but cry with joy for the miracle that has happened for her!

Keep up those prayers, God is listening and is working through them!  I hope you all have a safe and fun 4th of July weekend!  Nancy

Hey sweet friend,
I had a feeling you weren't doing very well when you hadn't posted in a few days. I so hope the IVs kick in so you can feel some relief. Great news for Julie. Hang on to faith, my friend. Your miracle is coming soon.
Love you!
Deb
