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

Pain is under control

I was very concerned last night when the pain returned with a vengeance, I almost had to return to the ER, but I was able to talk to my brother-in-law and he suggested I take a second pain pill and that made the difference. I have made sure to be on top of the pain and not let it get so bad again.


Hannah stayed home again today, but I am hoping that she will be able to return to school tomorrow. This is a nasty bug!


I couldn't let Scott have all of the St. Patty's day fun. What do you think, do curls suite me?

Love to you all! Nancy

Hmmmm...still trying to decide about the curls. I am opting for no curls on you Nance! :) Glad to hear you are starting to manage your pain...a slipped disk sounds very painful.

Hope Hannah is on the mend. Spring arrives on Friday. Here's to a happy and healthy spring for you all.

Sending our best wishes!

Much love,

Debbie

Fun Curls!

How did you get a slipped disk? Oh my! That does not sound fun. I'm sure it scares you like crazy any time you get a new pain or symptom. You deserve a week free from stress or pain! Keep us posted! Thinking of you and hoping both you and Hannah are on the mend SOON!
