SURGERY UPDATE 2
As of a few minutes ago, the first lung has been surgically attached!! Scott and his sister Leslie arrived a short time ago to find me sound asleep in a chair, but Ann was awake to greet them! It is good to have the four of us together to share in these final hours of this incredible journey to Nancy's new lungs. And I am so very proud to be able to keep all you good friends and family informed by the miracle of the Internet. I know Nancy would want me to acknowledge her donor's family's loss and I know we will always be forever grateful to her family and her for their willingness to donate this greatest of all gifts to our beloved Nancy! How I wish it were possible to offer our sympathy and our prayers and hopes for the grace and peace of healing to them personally. We wish for them the kind of love and support we have experienced from Nancy's many friends and family members.

PRAISING GOD!!!
Wonderful news!!!!! We hope the second lung is attached without any hitches. So glad to hear Scott and Leslie made it safe and sound!
We are also praying for the donor and her family. My hope is that she is at peace and can watch over Nancy as her angel in heaven.
Lots of prayers and good wishes being sent your way.
Love you all!
Debbie and Family
Great News and Thank You for sharing this all with us............Jacksons
I am so thrilled for you and your family! I remember your family so fondly and loved Ann, as she was one of my most favorite teachers! Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and with the donor family!

Thank you so much for the updates- we continue to keep Nancy in our prayers as we think about her throughout the day! We will remember the donor's family too- such a wonderful gift to give and one of the greatest things that can come from a life that is sadly lost.
We'll keep checking back. The Internet is so wonderful for this!
Blessings,
Jennifer
Praying, praying, praying, praying! And biting our fingernails, too! So happy, nervous, scared, excited and thrilled for Nancy and all of you! Thank you for keeping us posted. We're checking the web site constantly for updates and have sent out the word to all of our family members to pray that all to be well today. Much love to you all! (Please call us if you need help with ANYTHING!! - my phone number is in Nancy's phone.)
Vance,
Thanks for your updates despite your worry and fatigue.
Even though I have never met Nancy and just know her and all the rest of the family through the blog, this is the happiest day I have had in I don't know how long.
What a miracle.
The journey is now uphill and what a great day when the top is reached.
Thanks again for your updates. Sure a great number of people were checking in all day.
Would be a really nice story for the Times Herald in a couple of weeks when she has had some time to bounce back a little.
It's a long journey, but this step was the big one.
