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

Our trip

Hello! Sorry I haven't had a chance to write sooner. We had a wonderful trip! Everything went well, the weather was perfect, and the shower was lovely. Our Aunt Jan lives in Garrison, New York, about 50 miles from the city and they have a gorgeous home tucked deep in the woods that feels like a retreat. I haven't been there in several years, so it was nice to be back. They are so welcoming and make you feel right at home.

The shower on Saturday was at a Rod and Gun Club that was situated on a lovely pond. Emily, the bride, got so many wonderful things and she was so gracious and thankful to everyone.

We ate too much good food and enjoyed relaxing and catching up with everyone. With tons of women staying at the house, you know there wasn't a moment of silence, it was great!

I received quite a compliment from the groom's mother, Mary Beth. We were all playing a game where we tried to pick an animal that was most like the person. Mary Beth said I was the most awesome animal of all, a Blue Whale, and I could tell she genuinely meant it. That was very touching to me.

We are taking off again this weekend to camp at Stony Brook State Park, so I am trying to get things organized and ready. It is so incredible to feel healthy again!

I hope you are having a wonderful week! All my love! Nancy

Hard to believe that so little time has passed since you struggled so hard to make each day bearable. Just so wonderful to see you enjoying your new life every day. So well deserved.
Much love!
