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

I'm Back!

Sorry about my extended vacation from blogging, I will blame it on my mother whom I wanted to spend every minute with and thus neglected everything else (including my Bible Study, I am 2 weeks behind, shame on my mommy!)  We had a wonderful visit and she got to experience a lot, Hannah's friend and family birthday parties; an Irish Dance competition; and she came with me to Jamestown Community College for a presentation, so she got to witness that.  Luckily she will be back in less than 5 weeks for Christmas, so bringing her to the airport yesterday didn't hurt as much as it usually does.

So, what have you missed?

Hannah's Family Party, November 2






An Irish Dance Competition near Syracuse, NY


Too bad the judge barely looked up during judging, I am not sure how she chose the places for the girls.


Finally, yesterday, after I dropped my mom off at the airport, I got to visit a dear friend whom I haven't seen in years, Jeanne.  For any of you who have a copy of my Chronic Illness Book, this is the woman who it is dedicated to.  She was the adult CF Coordinator in Buffalo for many years and was truly a Godsend for me.  It was so wonderful to hug her again and to catch up.  I can't wait for our next visit!



On a not so good note, I just learned this morning that my friend Wendy is back in the ICU.  She had a bronchoscopy on Friday that showed rejection in her new lungs.  Please keep her in your prayers!

With all my love,  Nancy
