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

I would like to introduce the newest Matthews

I am excited to introduce you to our new little girl, Sweet Pea. We decided today to adopt this little kitty. Hannah and I are thrilled, Scott, not so much, but he will grow to love her as much as we do already.

It was a good day, I had a surprise visit from my good friend Deb whom I haven't seen since January. It is always nice to get a hug from a good friend!

We are preparing for our trip to UPMC on Thursday. Hopefully I will feel up to doing some school shopping for Hannah.

I send my love to you all! Nancy

YEA!!! I'm so excited you get to keep Sweet Pea! I fell in love with her when I visited and haven't been able to get her off my mind. I'm so happy she gets to stay with you and be loved by you!
I'm anxious to hear how you're making out in Pitts. As always, you're in my prayers, dear friend!
Love you!
