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

That's just the beginning!! It won't be long & you'll forget what it was like to cough! I'm so happy you're doing so well!! Did they clamshell cut you or just the two side incinsions? I can't imagine 6 chest tubes....I only had 4 & they hurt! You will feel much more comfortable when they start removing the tubes! Have you had nurse Dan?? He's great. Well I pray for your recovery to go well every night...I'll be in Pittsburgh jan 8th.... If your still there on the 9th floor, I'll stop by!

Love ya-
