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

(Hannah & Me at Icecream Island in Portville taken by Ruth Palmquist)

Happy Monday to you!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We did some partying this weekend with my sister-in-law and her family.  Saturday they had a party for the Olean General Hospital Emergency Room, Jeff is a PA there, and we were invited (that seemed only fitting since I keep them in business).  Leslie and Jeff outdid themselves with the food; I told them they should go into catering.  Sunday, we were invited for a repeat of leftovers that were just as good as the day before.  I was so thankful that my appetite has returned thanks to the IVs.

I took a trip to Walmart with Scott last night and used one of their scooters.  I couldn't tell you the last time I was in Walmart and it seemed so nice to be able to just buzz around and look at things on my own without someone pushing me. 

Today is my last day of IV antibiotics and I must admit, I am dreading what this week is going to bring.  I am just grateful for the few good days I've had to actually feel alive and human again!

God bless you all!  Nancy

Wow! Partying, scooter rides, life is grand huh?! I am so glad you have enjoyed these past few days. I love the picture of you and Hannah enjoying one of summers greatest treats, ICE CREAM!! Your smile warms my heart and brightens my life in so many ways. I will pray that your body will help you out without antibiotics! Thinking of you always and keeping you close in my prayers and heart. I love you!

Hi Nancy,
Ah, you both look so cute! You really look wonderful. Those are some great antibiotics. I am praying that the rest of the week is as good as the last few days.

Lots of love and hugs,
