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

More Sad News...

Hello!

I would like to begin by apologizing for my blog. I decided to try a new template today and basically wrecked everything, way to go, Nancy! I am trying to figure out how to restore what I somehow deleted and hopefully will have everything back to normal soon.

We received word last night that one of our friends from Family House passed away yesterday. Her name was Tammy and she and her father had moved to Family House soon after we did in May. She had had a small bowel transplant, I am not sure how long ago, but her organs had gone into rejection in May when we first met. She waged a long battle with the rejection of her new organs, but just wasn't strong enough. My heart goes out to her family; she leaves behind two children (her youngest had graduated from High School in June) and a grandbaby. Tammy's father Ken and mother Judy have been very supportive of me and had visited me during my hospitalizations at UPMC. My prayers go out to all of them. I cannot be sad for Tammy, I know she is finally at peace, in God's care, and can rest with no more pain and suffering.

Thank you to everyone who has offered dressers, you are all terrific! I think we are all set there, but I will keep you posted as we think of other things we may need.

All my love! Nancy
