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

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Wow, how do I describe the way I feel right now. I was able to decorate my own house for the first time in several years. I will be hosting Christmas at my house, I can sing along with the Christmas carols on the radio, I was able to shop in actual stores, not only online, for Christmas presents, I will be able to make cookies, attend concerts, and enjoy my family without the worries of illness or death clouding my vision. All of this is so incredible! As I approach this momentous anniversary, I feel nothing but happiness, wonder, and extreme thankfulness. Christmas IS for miracles!

My love to you all! Nancy

I know, it's really incredible. . .every year we get the best gift one can receive, life. Our quality of life is so much better and this time of year is even more special to us. What a great opportunity to have such a beautiful holiday season to celebrate life in. Only 3 more days! You are amazing. . .

I am at peace knowing my Donor can look down from heaven and watch over me and see how much I LOVE the life she gave me. Merry Christmas, you Christmas Miracle! :)
