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

Check out Hannah's Birthday Slide Show

Hooray! I finished the slide show this morning and am so excited to share it with all of you. It took me a lot longer than I had originally expected, but I am really pleased with the final product. It is long, three songs worth, but there were just so many great photos to share. I put it at the end of my blog so I could make the slides as large as possible, so be sure you scroll down to see it.

Now, I can focus on just enjoying the next few days with my little girl. The fun starts tonight at her Gramma Gail's church's Harvest Party and keeps going until Sunday afternoon. Pray for my stamina.

I will share pictures as I have them. Love to you all! Nancy
