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

One day at a time.

As soon as I am up to it, I will try to better explain what has been going on with me the last few days. But until then, just know that I am putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward into this new life. In some ways I feel like I was thrown in head first, but I will eventually stop crying and start enjoying.

I really need all of you right now. I feel scared and alone during the day. Please continue to e-mail me, it helps to brighten my day.

My love to you all! Nancy

Nancy,

One foot in front of the other..one day at a time. Things will get better. Hang in there and know that even though I am not there with you physically, I am with you in spirit and hold you so close to my heart. You have so much to look forward to, and each day you will become more confident and stronger in order to enjoy this new life.

Hang in there my dear. You continue to amaze and inspire so many. May God Bless you always and keep watch over you during this time of struggle.

With my love,

You have suffered, been patient, kept your amazing faith, persevered, questioned, listened, smiled, trusted, laughed, cried, loved and still......you believe.

Don't stop now, you have absolutely nothing to fear. God has sent you angels to show you the way, walk with them, lean on them still, they want you to do just that.

Remember that the secret is to love deeply. We are here for you always, now take that first step today, then another. You are amazing!

Love to you always,
Michele
