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

Thank you for your concern!

Hello friends!

I am sorry I have been out of touch. I have had a few really difficult days. I am now on Cipro and Fortaz IV antibiotics, they seem to be helping, but I am struggling to improve. I have been sleeping and coughing a lot! The fevers have improved, so I think that is a promising sign. I so appreciate your encouraging e-mails, please know that I read, enjoy, and appreciate every one, even if I don't often feel up to responding.

Hannah spent Tuesday with her friend Haley and enjoyed some time at the barn with the horses. Rose took some great pictures for me to share.

Hannah has been struggling with nightmares. Last night, as she stood by my bed with tears streaming down, I thought of my own fears and how hard it is to overcome your fears. I ended up sitting in her room with her until she went to sleep. As I sat there, I thanked God for always being willing to sit with me when I am scared. He doesn't force me to face these fears alone, He stays with me. Just as I love Hannah and want to help her find peace, God loves me and will continue to be here even as the pain and suffering grows. I can handle anything with Him by my side!

May you feel God's calming presence in your life today and every day! My love to you! Nancy

Hi Nance!

It is always a promising sign to all of us when we see a new post to your blog. I am sorry that you have had some very tough days. I hope the new antibiotics will continue to bring you some relief and comfort.

Yes, you will always have God by your side each and every day as you continue to battle and fight for new lungs. Although I cannot be by your side, I hope it brings you some comfort knowing that I keep you ever so close in my heart!

I love you Nancy. Keep the fight strong, and keep your incredible belief! Good things will happen soon. Hang in there! Love and hugs to all of you, and a little tighter hug to sweet Hannah!

I love you!
