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

Procedure

Hello!

All went well with my procedure and they were able to open the space with a balloon alone. I will probably have to go back for this procedure again, but at least this first one worked. I am very tired and sore today, my glands in my throat are quite swollen and painful. My throat is also sore, but that is because they had to intubate me during the procedure because of the anesthetic they used. It sounds like there was already quite a bit of mucus build up behind this opening, so I need to get that out as soon as possible, but hopefully with the full opening I will be able to dislodge and cough it out.

Thank you for all your prayers. I am going to just take it easy now.

All my love! Nancy
