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

UPDATE 2

Spoke to Nancy and the word is that the Gastroenterologist has decided that they want to wait a couple of days to see how she does without using the feeding tube before removing it.  Nancy seemed quite disappointed with this decision, but her doctor who wanted it removed has gone out of town, so there is little she can do but go along with the request even though she feels strongly that the tube should be removed now.  She has been given some sleeping medication again for tonight and her doctor has asked that she not be disturbed anymore than is absolutely necessary so she can get some rest tonight.  Scott and his sister Leslie arrived there today though I do not know how long they plan on staying in Pittsburgh.  Hannah is in the able hands of her Grandma Gail, so everything seems to be covered for the time being.  

Nancy requested I encourage you all to continue to keep her in your prayers.  With some rest and some time for the antibiotics to do their job, perhaps the infection associated with her feeding tube will subside and give her some pain relief as well as allow for a final decision to remove the tube as Nancy hopes they will in the end.  

So, for now, all we can do is wait and hope for a resolution to this latest setback in her long road to complete recovery.  As always, I will post again once I know of any change in her situation.  At least we know she is in the best place she can be and is being well taken care of.  That is most important to her mother and me as I am certain you can all appreciate.

Nancy's faith will see her through.

Nancy's Dad,
Vance

Nancy - we are thinking of you. Please let us know if we can help. Have you spoken to Dr. Pilewski for his opinion? I'm praying that you will have a quick resolution. Never feel bad about standing your ground against those doctors - sometimes they need to hear it!
Thinking of you always - Cammi
