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.

Update from Pittsburgh

Just a quick update. We had our appointment today and I really don't have anything new to report. They took some more blood and got a sputum sample, once those results come back, Dr. Pilewski will decide whether or not to put me back on IVs. I should know more by Monday.

May we all take a moment to remember those who died on 9/11. Scott and I were discussing how much has changed since that fateful event. Remember the sense of community, the outpouring of love, and the national pride we all experienced? Cars and homes were flying our American flag and people were proud to call the USA home. It is unfortunate it took such a horrible disaster to make us all realize how lucky we are.

With the upcoming Presidential election, it is often difficult to remember, we are not Democrats, Independents, or Republicans, we are Americans, and we need to stay united despite our differences.

May God Bless the USA!!!!

Hi Nancy!

Thanks for the update although not much new to report on. I hope you are able to get some new antibiotics and it will help boost your system!

You summed it up perfectly about 9/11! This is one day in history that we will always remember. It is unfortunate that it did take an attack on us for our patriotism to shine brightly. I am so honored to live in this country and so proud to be an American. I must say that it has been so nice to put politics aside for one day and focus on the true meaning of being an American. Go Red, White and Blue!!!

Get some rest my friend and know that you are loved by many!

Love,

Debbie

wHey Nance!

Well we are thankful that while the report is nothing new, its also nothing bad:)!!

You are so right about 9/11. How quickly we go right back into that mode of taking everything for granted. My kids who although cute (ha ha) have no clue about how lucky we are to live where we do!

I'll have to find another flag to have in my car window just like I did a few years ago. Thanks again Nance!

Oh how I do love the red,white, and blue!

Lots of love to you and your family! Give mom and dad a hug! (Give one to yourself too:)!

Lots of love,
