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

Prayers Needed

Dear friends,

I have a special request. I am terribly stressed right now. This upcoming move is really doing a job on my nerves. I have been experiencing horrible stress headaches and am just a mess. Please pray for relief from my anxiety.

Everything is coming together, we have a U-Haul reserved and Scott plans to load up on Friday evening so he can leave early Saturday morning. Our good friend Scott T. will be meeting him at the apartment to help unload. (Scott, you are a saint and we love you, thanks for loaning him to us for the morning Christina!) Everything we needed has been gathered or donated (A special THANK YOU to Ruth and Rose!), so we will be set in the new apartment.

I have packed my clothes and now just have to make it through the week emotionally, all I want to do is cry. I know everything will be okay, I know God and our friends will help us through this separation, but my heart still dreads leaving my family again. I just hope that perhaps Santa will bring me my lungs for Christmas (of course, God would have to orchestrate that, I am sure that is too large a request for Santa alone).

Thank you for your continued support, prayers, and love! Nancy

Nancy,

It must be tough to leave HOME again. I can only imagine what you must be feeling. Try to stay focused on your goal ahead. Being close to the hospital is a must for you now and your family will be with you in spirit every step of the way. Hannah is loved by so many and it is wonderful that you all live close to Scott's mom and his family. They are true blessings and they will watch over and help take good care of Hannah.

I am still humbled by your determination and your positive spirit that shines through you. I know this next step will be hard, but I also know that God would not give you more than you can handle. He believes in you, as do the rest of us. Hang in there and we will be sending lots of extra prayers your way. Take good care of yourself.

Please give Hannah, Scott, and your parents a big hug from me! I love you Nancy and I am rooting and praying for you.

Love,

Debbie

Hi Nancy,
Please know we are thinking of you and praying for you this week. I know leaving must be so hard. Enjoy your family and your time at home this for the next few days. It will all work out, everything always does. I am so glad that you have your parents there by your side.

I wish I could be there too.
Lots of extra love, hugs and prayers!
