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

A Wonderful Weekend

Saturday morning, 9:00 a.m. Holiday Valley Ski Resort:

I never thought I would do this again. As we rode up the chair I praised my mighty Father and told Him to just please enjoy this with me! My miracle just keeps growing. Every new thing I try, every old thing I am able to re-accomplish, I praise His mighty name!

This is the miracle of organ donation!
Hello! I am so sorry I have been away so long. After the traumas of the last two weeks, I needed a break. The prednisone has been making me crazy and to try to sit and do anything has been difficult. As of tomorrow I will be back on a normal prednisone dosage, so hopefully my body will get back to normal and I won't feel so stressed.

I am feeling so much better! I hadn't shared with all of you that I have been skiing this winter.
Having grown up in Jackson Hole, skiing was a pure passion of mine all growing up.
The last time I skied was two years before my transplant and I honestly never thought I would ski again. And yet, I have been on the slopes 8 times this season!

Every day brings new blessings. Yes, there are bumps, but that is life. My life has so completely changed. I value everything I am able to do so much and just treasure the moments. I realize I would not have been here doing these things, I would have missed out on so many wonderful moments with my family. I have so much to be thankful for!



I will share more about our weekend when I can access the pictures on Scott's cell phone, but for now just know I am doing well. Your prayers continue to strengthen me and I can get over any hill (or mountain), large or small, knowing you and God are on my side!

All my love! Nancy

You look wonderful, radiant, and just loving life. I hope and pray that you will feel even better and get stronger each day! Enjoy today, live it with all you have!

I love you and am so proud of you!
