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

Dear Nancy,
Your Dad has been great in keeping us uptodate on your progress. Getting to see you in SICU must have been an incredibly emotional reunion for your family, even if you maybe don't remember too well. Just from your Dad's post you can tell how much that quick visit to see you post-op meant to him. I hope you can feel all the love and prayers all around you, and especially God's protective and healing Hands.
Love, Prayers, Ken & Sharon Woodruff :) xox

We are rejoicing here in Louisiana and we know how to throw a party. There is laughing and crying and confetti is flying everywhere. (up North I think you call it snow)

Love you,

Oh we are so happy for you all! What a wonderful early Christmas gift. I am so excited to go text message my husband at work and tell him "Nancy got her lungs!"

We have been praying with our little girl Cecilia each night for "Nancy to get her lungs." After the rain, God does truly send his rainbow!

Get your rest- you have so much celebrating to do in the coming days! God bless you all.... Marie Altavilla
