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

Help Me Celebrate my One Year Re-Birth Day!

Dear friends,

My one year Re-Birth Day is quickly approaching. On December 10th I will celebrate one year with new lungs. It is so hard to believe it has been a year. What a roller coaster! I have so much to celebrate this year and I was hoping you would join me in the celebration.

You may remember last Christmas I donated toys in honor of many of my family members to Toys for Tots. This is a very important thing for me, knowing that every child will wake up Christmas morning with something special under the tree. I have already made my purchases, and would like to ask you to do the same. Would you honor my miracle of new lungs and my one year anniversary by donating a new toy to Toys for Tots for me? If you are willing, please let me know what you donated and I will share all of the gifts you purchased in my honor next week on my special day.

Please join me in making Christmas a little more special for children in need.

God bless you all! Nancy

Nancy,

I will gladly join you in this celebration. Our kids use their money every year to donate a toy of their choosing! This year, Britney will be buying a baby to donate and Blake will be buying some Legos to donate. They are their favorites so it only makes sense to pass along something they love!

I look forward to hearing about how you choose to celebrate your one year post transplant day! Happy day to you!

I love you!

Debbie

Nancy, I donated a Vetech Helicopter for 1 year olds. I also donated a large bag of "slightly" used baby toys.

Best wishes on your anniversary, what a wonderful year it has been for you and your family.
