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.

Back to Pittsburgh

Hello!

I continue to not feel very well. I am very tired and want to sleep a lot. I slept for 4 hours yesterday when we got home from Buffalo and slept until 10 this morning. Hopefully this will pass soon. It is stressful to feel like this. It brings back too many bad memories. I keep telling myself that this is part of life, I will get sick from time to time, but it will not last like before. I will certainly be relieved when I start to feel better.

We will be heading back to Pittsburgh on Wednesday and I will have the procedure to open my airway on Thursday morning. We are hoping this problem is what has been causing the cough I have been struggling with for several months. Please pray that is the case and it will be resolved after Thursday's procedure.

I hope you are all well.

P.S. If you haven't voted for my blog on Wellsphere yet, please do. I have dropped from 5th place to 12th place in the last week and would love to get back into the top 5, only you can make that happen! Thank you!

Nancy

Nancy,

I am sorry you are not feeling well. I am sure it is very scary for you. It is just another hill you will have to climb and we know that you can do it! You have had a lot going on in the last month or so and I think this is a small reminder that although you need to enjoy life, you also have to slow down at times. I will pray that your procedure goes well and it helps with your cough! Hang in the there and take good care of yourself!

Much love,

Debbie

Nancy,

Last week I felt that way. . . I am feeling much more like myself. I was tired all the time and slept a ton! I actually tracked my micro spirometer CLOSELY along with my temperature. All was normal. I wonder if it has to do with getting the H1N1 vaccine. Maybe it just takes a little toll on our bodies to absorb the vaccine. Just my thoughts. I feel so much more motivated and energetic this week.

Good luck with your surgery! I hope it will make you feel better! I will keep you in my prayers, as always :)
