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

SURGERY WENT WELL!!!

The surgeon just came in to tell us that she was able to completely clean out all of Nancy's sinuses and that everything went well.  She is in recovery and will later be moved to the transplant floor over in Presby Hospital where she was on the 9th floor post transplant.  She will spend the night there and will be released tomorrow.  Her post op appointment will be on Tuesday of next week.  The surgeon will turn her care back over to Dr. Pilewski (sp?) for post op care decisions.  

Nancy will likely not be too chatty this evening, so just consider that no news is good news until she is able to post again!  

My guess is we are still on track for taking her home to Portville sometime late next week!  Thanks for all the support and prayers for her, you've all been a lifeline for her through these past two months and I know how much it has meant to all of us, but to her most of all!

Such wonderful news! Thank you, Vance, for letting us know. Nancy was in our prayers at mass today, for a successful sinus surgery. As you say that we have been a lifeline for Nancy, she has been the same for us hanging onto the news and this blog for the most amazing testament of faith I have ever witnessed. God bless and God Love to all of you.
