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

An Update from UPMC

Hello friends!

I was finally able to get in touch with my transplant coordinator yesterday. Unfortunately, my white blood cell count is still too low to even consider a Bronch. So, I am back on shots of Nuepogen to try to get my bone marrow to start doing its job. I will give myself three shots then go in for blood-work on Wednesday. At the rate we're going, it will be a couple of weeks before I have my Bronch. re-scheduled.

My other blood results are improving, yet still need some work, so we made some medication changes to try to get them back on target.

It is beautiful here today. Scott and several of his friends have been riding motorcycles on his track and I have enjoyed just sitting and watching them. I hope you are enjoying your Saturday as well! Love to you all! Nancy

Motorcycles....sounds like our kind of fun! Dirt bikes I am assuming? I am glad you are enjoying the simple things. I hope your blood count improves. I am scheduled for another bronch in Pittsburgh May 15th. So let's pray for each other :)
