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

Hello!

I just wanted to check in briefly. I am hanging in, but still not feeling very good. I think some of my discomfort is medication related (continued headaches, dizziness, and nausea). Since the medication changes on Saturday, I have stopped having any fevers, so that is definitely a good sign, now I just need to tough it out until I see Dr. Pilewski on August 21.

My parents travelled to Massachusetts over the weekend for my mom's 50th class reunion. She has been just glowing since she returned. I am so glad she was able to go and have really enjoyed the stories she has shared from this wonderful experience!

I wanted to share a couple more pictures of Hannah and her cousin Jacinda at Darien Lake with you. Believe it or not, Jacinda is actually several months older than Hannah. She is a sweetheart and we have been enjoying the girls' new found friendship!
