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

Special Visitors


Hello friends!


My last entry was kind of a downer, so I thought I would brighten things up by sharing about my special visits this week.


Our Aunt Jan came for a visit over the weekend. She lives just outside New York City, so it is always a real treat when she comes. I enjoyed her visit very much!


Leslie, Lydia, and Simon stopped over while Aunt Jan was visiting. I always love to see my cute niece and nephew. Lydia was recovering from a bee sting and Simon was into everything (I was informed by Hannah after school that he was not allowed in her room anymore!).

My dear friend Ruth came for a visit yesterday and brought a decadent dessert that even I was able to eat. I haven't felt up to her Wednesday visits in several weeks, so it was a true pleasure to get a hug and catch up.

I already shared that I ran into my friend Betty at K-Mart. So this has been a very social week for me, a great improvement from my hours of sleeping over the last couple of weeks.


The fall weather has been just beautiful and the leaves are changing. This has always been my favorite time of the year and I have my scooter charging hoping one of these afternoons I will feel up to going for a ride.

Each day is a new adventure, sometimes good, sometimes not so, but I continue to try to enjoy the little blessings God continues to bring me! Nancy
