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

No Anxiety Today!


Today was my first anxiety free day since I came home from Pittsburgh. I kept telling myself while we were in Pittsburgh to set small goals each day and once I had reached the goal to stop worrying about anything the rest of the day. Today I wanted to get my living room straightened up, so that is what I did. That was all, it was enough.


I did catch Sweet Pea on the counter and Cracker on the couch, they have gotten used to being unsupervised during the day, naughty animals, but I sure do love having them around!


I still want to share some pictures from Pittsburgh, but I am waiting for Scott to e-mail them to me.


I hope you had a stress free day as well! Love you all! Nancy

Nancy,

THIS IS AWESOME NEWS! I thought of you all morning and was hoping that you were having a better week than last week!

I remember a doctor telling me one time when I was pregnant with the twins... "Tell yourself that you can worry for one hour a day...when you start to freak out, just say to yourself, Oh, I have to let that go until my scheduled worry time at 5pm. Or break if up and say you can worry for 30 minutes at 9AM and 30 minutes at 9PM." It kind of worked!

It was so good to talk to you on Wednesday. Your voice sounds good and strong!

Hang in there!

Love,
Cammi
