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

Easter Egg Coloring

We decorated our Easter eggs last night. Hannah picked out a really fun kit that you rub glittery paper on the eggs after they are colored. We had a lot of fun! Hannah is concerned that the Easter bunny will be hiding the eggs in very difficult places this year since she is getting older, we'll see how hard they are to find tomorrow.












I wanted to share something kind of neat that is happening with my finger nails. People with CF have clubbing and discoloration of the nails due to the lack of oxygen. As my nails are growing out post-transplant, they are a nice light pink color and are no longer clubbed. There is an obvious line where the new growth meets my old nails. They are going to be so pretty when they finally grow out, it is very exciting!
May you enjoy this beautiful Saturday before Easter! All my love! Nancy

Hannah is so darn cute! I love how JOYFUL her smile always is!

Exciting news about your finger nails. Isn't it wonderful to think that your new lungs are just flooding your body with oxygen - right down to your finger tips?! Amazing! Now if they could just get that anemia under control....argh!
