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

Your smile is beautiful Nancy(especially without O2). I can't wait to have you in my dental chair to see it myself. I have missed you and have followed your journey through these blogs. I can see where you get your gift of writing with such passion...your Dad!!! Prayers for continued healing, love to you and ALL your family, Pam xxxooo
This is the day we've all be waiting for!! The smile that lights up my life is back, but more importantly, the daughter who is the light of my life will soon be going HOME!
What a journey this has been for all of us. It is so fitting that it should come to a climax right at the same time many people around the world will be celebrating the birth of Jesus! I know my daughter's faith has given her the guidance and the strength to overcome all obstacles that she has been challenged with.
How overwhelmed I am, how happy I am, how grateful I am, that she has been blessed with so many wonderful and caring friends and family holding her hand on this monumental journey! I can see where this is going and I am smiling right along with her, and with all of you!
Thank you all...Scott, Gail, Leslie, Ann, for you four, more than any others, have helped you wife, your daughter-in-law, your sister-in-law, and our daughter in ways no one else was privileged to witness the way I was. You are remarkable people who loved her, cared for her, were there for her, every step of the way and not just because she was family, but because you all knew what I knew, that our Nancy was special...with the love and support of so many, many people from all walks of life that found Nancy's journey inspiring enough, courageous enough, to want to join with us on this journey we are all so grateful. Please, stay with us a little longer. The journey is just beginning, we've just gotten a glimpse of what is yet to come. Nancy's smile will guide us the rest of the way!
So let us celebrate and get this show on the road!
In my daughter's smile we will find our way!
We love you ALL!
