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

Meet the Teacher


I am so happy to be able to let you know that I was able to attend Meet the Teacher night at Hannah's school yesterday. Though it took A LOT out of me, it was so worth it! Hannah's new teacher, Mrs. Bowser, seems wonderful. It was obvious she is excited about teaching and makes it fun for the students.



We got to see Hannah's locker (4th Graders get their own locker!), her desk, some of the projects she has already completed, like her dream home (boy, I would love to see the price tag to build that creation!), and the brand new playground that we have been hearing tons about.


It was also wonderful to see so many familiar and smiling faces from the Portville Community. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to see me and that really made my night! We are so blessed to have a terrific school and community.


I hope you have all had a wonderful week and can enjoy a relaxing weekend! Nancy

Hi Nancy!

I am so glad that you were able to make it out to meet Hannah's teacher and see her classroom. I know it took its toll on you, but I hope you know that it meant the world to Hannah! You can see how proud she is that you are there in all the pictures! She is just beaming with pride and excitement. I hope you are able to recover and get some good rest. It is such a good feeling to know that you are part of such a GREAT community. The small part that I got to experience last October left me feeling so good inside knowing that people truly care for you and your family. Have a great weekend and get some rest. Continued love and prayers are sent your way!

I love you!

That is so awesome. I'm so glad that you made it. I can't believe they have lockers. Alex would love that! They don't even get lockers here at the Jr. High??? It seems to me, although I'm so far away, that you live in a beautiful place with wonderful people surrounding you. I am so happy for you! A strong community is so important.

Hope you have a restfull and wonderful day and weekend. We keep praying for you and thinking of you throughout our day.

Lots of love and hugs,
Amy
