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

Quick Update

Hello!

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  My parents went to Niagara Falls, so we had a quiet family weekend.

My IV antibiotics have been extended another week, to my relief.  I really do so much better when I am on them, even though I feel like all I do is sleep and run IVs.

I spoke with Julie today and she continues to do well.  The major issue for her right now is her liver which has some clotting forming around it.  The doctors are afraid to open her up this soon to remove the clots, so they are hoping her body will absorb them, please pray that occurs.  It also sounds like she is going to need a liver transplant at some point.  When they got in there for surgery, her doctors realized her liver was worse than they had originally thought.  But, one thing at a time.  For now she is upbeat and doing well.  Her drainage tubes were removed today, so she has more freedom and she seemed very happy about that.

Enjoy the rest of your day!  Nancy

Hi Nancy,
I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know I'm thinking of you. (You're always in my thoughts, but I thought I'd just make it official today.) I'm glad to hear that your IV's have been renewed for another week. A lot can happen in a week, so keep your chin up.
I love you.
Deb
