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

A Special Birthday Present for my Dad

Happy Christmas Eve!

I am home, I am home, I am home!!!!! I still can't believe it. My bronch went well this morning, the procedure was at 9:30 and I was awake back in my room by 11:30. We did not get released until 3:00 , so we have not been home long. I am just trying to let it sink in that I actually made it back to the apartment for Christmas, what a miracle!

Scott and Hannah will be celebrating Christmas with his family this evening, but will get up bright and early to come to us tomorrow. I am so excited to see them!

I wanted to wish my Dad a very happy 64th Birthday. He just keeps saying that he got the best present ever, I would have to agree.

Please enjoy this holy and blessed evening, there is so much to celebrate! My love to all of you!
Nancy
