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

What a thoughtful gift! It looks beautiful!

Speaking of beautiful, you look great NANCY! And so happy! Even amid the pain? Amazing!

I am so glad it made her happy. My mother in law made one & brought it to me after my transplant and it made me feel like I was not in a sterile uncozy hospital room. It made recovery better- I wanted to share that with you Nancy....your special & on my thoughts a lot! Nothing feels more like home then a handmade quilt! By the way I helped make Nancy's quilt and several others with a charity quilt group from home. We donated them to the upmc transplant center....I picked Nancy's out specificaly for her.
Stay strong Nancy....and kelp insipiring people.

Jamie,

Nancy was so thrilled to get your special handmade quilt today of all days. She is doing remarkably well and we hope things continue to get better and better for her. I do hope the day is soon in coming when the two of you girls can get together and hug each other and just share smiles and laughs and whatever else young lady trasplant recepients talk about!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
