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

Here I had promised to tell you about my day on Tuesday, and then I got waylaid and never got to it. So, I will backtrack to Tuesday. Scott had to take a trip to see some customers and asked me to ride along. We had a great time and were gone all day. We went to Wellsboro, home of the "Grand Canyon of the East" and took a drive to the overlook which was quite lovely. In Wellsboro there is a famous diner that is an old railway car, so we had to stop for lunch there. I had a yummy cheeseburger and sweet potato fries, my favorite! So, it was a relaxing day away from the house, which I needed.
I am trying a new antidepressant starting today. The mood altering effects of my transplant meds are still giving me a lot of trouble. I am not sure what my current purpose is. I know God has a plan for me and that it is GOOD, I just wish it would happen soon. I want to minister to others and just don't have a solid grasp on what that will look like in the future with my decreased immune system. Please pray that God's guidance will lead me in the direction I need to go and for the patience to wait until the time is right.


I thought you'd get a kick out of seeing Hannah playing her "washtub" bass. She had to make an instrument for music class, so she and Scott had a blast putting this together and then playing it. I think it made a hit at school as well.
Okay, I need to stop procrastinating and get outdoors and walk. It is a beautiful 70 degrees out, I shouldn't be wasting the day in here. Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday and that you have a terrific weekend! Love, Nancy

Patience is the name of the game and, as hard as it is, it controls most of your recovery. Concentrate on yourself; getting well,and put other things aside for now. FOCUS on your own recovery and let others take care of themselves. My RX for the day! lol
LOVE YOU.
Claire, Harley and the gang

HI Nancy!

So great checking on you after so many days away from the computer!

Sounds like life is plugging away for you! You are doing great and need to just remember to take one day at a time, as hard as that is sometimes! You need to take care of yourself first, then you can focus on others. It is so like you to want to put others first, but you need to put all your effort into YOU being YOU again! It will happen, believe in yourself and believe in the journey you are on!

I miss you so much and I look forward to the day we get to see each other again. Hang in there and keep enjoying that wonderful family of yours!

Love to you all!

Blessings,

Debbie
