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

A Happy 4th of July!


I hope you all had a wonderful 4th. We had a lovely picnic at my mother-in-law's and then, after a long afternoon nap, I was able to join my family to go and watch the fireworks. As others were setting up camera tripods, I was setting up an IV tripod; I think I was the only one doing IVs at the fireworks, but you know I always try to be unique! : )

Hannah, Simon, & Lydia had a great time running around in the grass before the fireworks. Boy do I wish I could bottle some of that energy! I think we all slept well last night!



This morning I got a special treat, I was holding Hannah's Guinea Pig, Oreo, and our kitty Jasper decided to join us. Normally Jasper is terrified of Oreo, but I guess he decided if he wanted love from me, he'd have to deal with Oreo. Here we are snuggling!
