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.

I DID IT!!!

I am sure you have noticed my absence this week. I had been working on a presentation for my mother-in-law's church ladies group. It took up much of my time and I was so nervous about it. The presentation was last night. This was the first time I have spoken in front of a group in 3 years, so you can imagine my anxiety. I prayed that God would take over and just use me as a vessel to relay his message to these ladies.

Although I was quite nervous as I began, a peace came over me and the rest of the presentation just flowed. My speaking skills are rusty, but I think I got the message across. It was another accomplishment in my post-transplant experience and I know the next time I have to tell my story it will be that much easier.

Thank you to those of you who prayed for me, it worked. Thank you also to the ladies who attended the dinner for your hospitality and interest in what I had to share.

I slept until 10:45 this morning, so you know how much it took out of me, but it was a wonderful evening for me!

My love to you all! Nancy
