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

An early Birthday celebration

Tonight we started the week long celebration of my Birthday (LOL!) I actually got out of the house and went to Mickey's (our favorite restaurant owned by our wonderful Uncle Tom and Aunt Debbie Weatherell) for dinner, it has been a while since I have eaten out. Uncle Tom even brought me a bowl of my favorite New England Clam Chowder to celebrate the big event!





When we got home, Hannah and Scott carved our first Halloween pumpkin of the season. We weren't here for Halloween last year, I was having my transplant evaluation in Pittsburgh, so we have a lot of pumpkin carving to make up for. : ) Didn't they do a great job?





My big goal for this weekend is to be able to go to Pumpkinville with the whole family tomorrow. I haven't been in two years and LOVE taking Hannah there. Please pray that I have the strength to go!

There will be more pictures of minnie me to come.... Love to you all! Nancy
