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

Cammi Got Her Lungs!!!!!


I have been dying to share this wonderful news with all of you. Friday morning after my appointments at UPMC I realized I had a voicemail on my cell. It was Cammi's mom, Judy. She called to tell me that Cammi was in surgery getting her new lungs, PRAISE THE LORD!!! This has been such a long time in coming and Cammi deserves those new lungs so much. I have never met a more devoted wife, mother, and daughter. She has become such a close and dear friend and I was a wreck all day Friday waiting for the news that the surgery had gone well. As of last night, she had still not regained full consciousness, but her vitals are good and things are moving forward successfully. When she does wake up, it will be hellish for a couple of days, those first couple of days in ICU were the worst of my life, so she needs your prayers for strength, courage, and peace.


Thank you to all of you who were praying with me for the miracle of new lungs for Cammi. Prayers work! Never lose faith, even when things seem impossible!


With overwhelming joy! Nancy

PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Yeah for Cammi! I have been praying so hard for her and wanting this miracle for her so badly! I am so glad she is going to have her chance to live again. What great and amazing news this is!

We will keep praying for her! We know that she does have an uphill road to climb, but with friends like you, a strong family, and God at her side, she can and will do it!

Nancy, you have touched so many and it is so amazing to learn about your friends who are going through the same things that you are going through. Cammi is blessed to know you and have you with her during this journey!

Go Cammi, Go! I know she can do it!

Love and prayers to all of you!
