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

A Good Day!

So far today has been a good day. It is amazing how much better you feel when you get a good night's sleep!

It sounds like I might be able to return to the apartment by the end of the week, hooray! As long as home health can be arranged and I continue to be stable, that is the plan.

If you want to know how happy I am about this prospect, please visit this site (well worth the trip!):

My love goes out to all of you. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! Nancy

Nancy,

You look great! It bring tears to my eyes how happy and healthy you look. I know your Christmas will be a joyous one and I will be praying that you will be able to go "home" soon. Tell your mom and dad Merry Christmas for me.

Love,
Amy Crawford
