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

I finally slept!

Good Morning!

I am so happy to tell you that I actually got some good rest last night. Though there is still a great deal of discomfort, without the tubes I was able to sleep more on my sides and give my tail bone a much needed break. It was such a relief to sleep, the last several nights have been very stressful for me.

I hope you all had a good night as well! Love you! Nancy

Hallelujah and praise the Lord!! What a wonderful,joyful greeting I had when I logged onto your blog this morning!! And your musical accompanyment only help to exclaim your true thankfulness. (I actually thought the first blast of the trumpet was a car outside honking the horn.) What a chuckle I got when I realized it was music on your blog. A wonderful start to my day. What a wonderful start to your day, too. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. You continue to be an inspiration and a beautiful example of God's love for all. I pray you continue on your recovery with NO untoward effects.
