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

Swelling galore!

Well, I woke up this morning with a face like a balloon. Yesterday my entire legs and lower abdomen were swollen. I called my post-transplant coordinator and she told me to start the Lasix again and to decrease my Prograf (the main anti-rejection drug). My family has been laughing at me all morning, not very nice, huh?

Scott arrived yesterday and I have been really enjoying having him here again!

That is the only update this morning. I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

Love you! Nancy

That is crazy! Even your stomach was swollen? So weird! Has it gotten better yet? I hope that clears soon. How weird to be SO SKINNY and then to see your body all BALOONED up? What an extreme! Hope it resolves quickly.
