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

A weekend Recap.

Hello friends!
I had a busy morning, but learned a lot at my insulin pump class. It was a three hour training and it was only me and another young woman, so we got a lot of individualized attention. I will go back for a one-on-one training next Tuesday. I am really excited about getting a pump and can even get a pink model (to match my cell phone and mp3 player).

Tomorrow we get a day off, then Thursday I see Dr. Pilewski and Friday I have my second Bronchoscope. I heard from the ENT and I do have sinusitis, but I may be able to get away with just antibiotics and not surgery, I'll get Dr. Pilewski's thoughts Thursday.

I promised you some more pictures from the weekend. We got so much fun family time, it was wonderful! Hannah taught me how to play several of the Wii games, we did a lot of snuggling, and I watched as Scott and Hannah sledded and made a wonderful snowman!


We snuggled a lot!




We played lots of games!


I directed the snowman making from the warmth of the kitchen.




I wasn't the only sleepy girl at the end of the weekend!

Hi Nancy!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pictures! The one of you all snuggling is so full of hope and promise for the future. Scott and Hannah did a great job building a snowman--he is one skinny guy!

Glad to hear your class went well. I hope the insulin pump will be another great asset to you!

Continue to make those small strides toward your goal. You are doing great and every little obstacle you conquer, is a HUGE step toward your recovery. Keep your chin up and know that we love you dearly!

Blessings to all of you,

Debbie and Family

Hey Girl, Uncle Dave and Elaine say you may need to go a bit slower on your time away. But also soooooo glad you had a wonderful weekend at home with Scott and Hannah. Sometimes recovery can be so slow but you can not push mom nature and the Good Lord on how he heals. One day at a time my dear.

Keep up the good work.

Love to you, Dave and Elaine
