Nancy's Lung Transplant Journey: Home Sweet Home

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

Home Sweet Home

We made it home last night around 8:30, I was very tired, but so glad to finally be home for good. I can unpack and not live out of a suitcase!

Look at the wonderful welcome I got thanks to Hannah and our friends the Ruffners.

Lots of unpacking to do. Thank God for moms! My parents will be leaving to go back to Wyoming on Friday, what will I do?

Thanks for your prayers for safe travel! Love, Nancy

So enjoyed talking to your mom today. I called to say, "WELCOME HOME!!" I hope you can enjoy these first few days at home at the last few ones with your parents. What an exciting time you have ahead of you. Please take your time adjusting to being home and allow for small steps. Enjoy the last few days with your wonderful parents. I know you will miss them...but now you have so much to look forward to!

Love you lots,
