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

Home

We're home! I started feeling better on Monday, so the trip went well. All of my appointments went smoothly and I increased my Pulmonary Function Tests from 66% to 77% which I was thrilled about! I'll post more tomorrow.

I put on a new song from Mamma Mia. Hannah and I have fallen in love with this movie and have watched it over and over. This song really touched me when I heard it, because it speaks to every mother's fears of our children growing up. I know it is kind of sad, but I love it!

I'll be back tomorrow with some pictures and more news.

Love you all! Nancy

Thinking of you always and we continue to pray for your transition! We love you!
