Nancy's Lung Transplant Journey: Would you like to help the CF Foundation of Western NY?

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

Would you like to help the CF Foundation of Western NY?

People are always asking me how they can help raise money and/or awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. If you live in the Buffalo area, volunteers are needed to help out with several summer events. If you aren't able to volunteer, consider attending one or more event. There are a lot of great fundraisers scheduled for the summer, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Nancy
