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

Mall Walking

I am so excited to tell you that I walked the mall today from one end to the other and back. I did great, I wasn't out of breath, and the only thing that bothered me was my feet, they feel bruised on the top of them.


Of course, when you're mall walking, it is very tempting to do some mall shopping and to celebrate this momentous event, I made a special purchase for Scott (although it is really for me, but I have an easier time purchasing something if I think it is for someone else). I have been wanting this Willowtree for quite some time. Every time I see it I think of the beautiful relationship Scott and I share.


I also picked up a couple of things at Aeropostale for Hannah to surprise her with this weekend. I could shop for her all day!
My mental health is better today, thank you for all the kind words and prayers! Love you all!
Nancy

What a great day Nancy and another great step toward recovery! So glad you could get out! I LOVE the Willow Tree Angel--how perfect for you and Scott!

I will always remember our mall shopping trip when I came out to visit you. I was not so good at pushing a wheel chair and thought that I was going to "dump" my friend! It brings back huge smiles and warms my heart to think of where you are now! I am sure you are glad that I will never have to push you again! We can walk side by side next time--I can't wait!

Here's wishing you many more good days ahead! I love you my dear friend!

Love Always,

Debbie
