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

The Highlights of my Day

Hello friends!


I wanted to share the highlights of my day with you.


First, I enjoyed a visit with my dear friend Amy and her little boy Davin. They were on their way to run the table at Rally in the Valley and stopped by to say hi. It was so wonderful to see them!


Then, a very special package arrived. Hannah has been saving money all summer for a doll house for her Barbies. She has been picking blueberries for her Uncle Jeff (for BIG bucks, $2.00/lb.) and finally reached her goal of $80. Her house arrived today and the joy on her face warmed my heart. There is nothing like seeing your child happy, especially when she has worked hard and achieved a goal!


Hannah and my parents had a wonderful trip to Niagara Falls yesterday, hopefully I can post some pictures from that adventure tomorrow.



Good night and God bless! Nancy
(Hannah's friend Gabriella is spending the night, so she was able to enjoy this special delivery as well!)

Yeah Hannah! Hard work definitely pays off! That is one AWESOME doll house. It looks like she is going to be enjoying that for quite some time. Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures with all of us! I think Hannah has learned to "beam" her beautiful smile from her sweet mother! Lots of love and prayers for your new lungs being sent your way. Hello to all and please have your mom give you a HUGE hug from me! I love you Nancy!

Love,

Debbie

Hi Nancy,
You're hair is so darn cute!!! So is Hannah. I can't believe she is able to save up like that. Alex spends every penny as soon as it hits his pocket!! Wouldn't want it to burn a hole now would we? I think those days, being at home and having a wonderful time with your kids, are the best in life!! Enjoy. Know you are very loved!!

Lots of love, hugs and prayers,
Amy
