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.

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.

Ideal Candidate

Good Evening!

Let me start with a Sweet Pea update. Still no sign of her. Scott made up fliers and distributed them around the area today. I just hope some family took her in and she is warm and safe.

Things went well with my Endocrinology appointment. The doctor agreed that I am the ideal candidate for a pump and they were so accommodating to try to get my trainings in before we move back to Olean. I will return to their office next Tuesday (which will cut our home visit shorter) for a 3 hour insulin pump training class. I am really looking forward to getting a pump, it should help me keep my sugars much better regulated. I even had to take a test today to see how much knowledge I currently have about Diabetes, and guess what, I got 100% (Yeah ME!).

Tomorrow we are planning to pack up some things so we can start bringing things home. It is so hard to believe we will be moving home in a couple of weeks. I DO believe in miracles!

I hope you are having a good week! All my love, Nancy

Hi Nancy!

I am glad your appointment went so well. A pump would be a great asset to you. I hope it all works out. You got a 100%--wow! Not very surprising though to all of us who know you.

I hope Sweet Pea is in a warm safe home and being taken care of.

Returning home in a couple of weeks is just so beyond unreal. You have sure conquered this challenge and continue to rise above and beyond.

I do agree with my mom: you are OUR MIRACLE! What a blessing to know you and call you our friend. We love you so very much.

Love and Blessings,

Debbie

Hi Nancy,
I was just going to say the same thing Judy did... YOU ARE A MIRACLE!! You have come so far and I am so excited for you to be moving home soon!!

Great news about the pump, hopefully that will make at least a small part of your life easier. 100%... of course you got 100, what else could you possibly get???

I am so sorry that Sweet Pea is missing. I do hope she returns soon. I will pray that she finds her way home and for Hannah as well.

Lots of love Nancy, have a fantastic trip home. I'm sure you will enjoy every minute!

Love and hugs,
Amy
