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

An Awesome Father's Day!

We spent our Father's Day Jeepin'!  What Fun!

We headed out in the morning for Allegheny National Forest, the Allegheny Reservoir, and the Kinzua Dam.


Hannah was a little chilly, so she bundled up.


Look at my beautiful family!



We stopped for lunch at a restaurant on the reservoir.


Down at the docks there were enormous carp.  Several people were feeding them and it was a true feeding frenzy!



Can you see them now?


What about now?


...and NOW?


You could easily pet them, and a couple even tried sucking our fingers off.  It was quite a treat for Hannah!



Back into the jeep to head toward the dam.


Watch out, it is a looooooooooong way down!



Here is an action shot, Hannah and me in the jeep.






We found a trail that would allow us to hike to an overlook.


Isn't it gorgeous?



My rock climbing monkeys


They're at the top of the world!





Here is Scott's impression of Hannah who is too scared to jump.


Look how cute he is!


One jump down, one to go.


...MOMMY!


Look at that super mom rescue!



Looking pretty good considering I have a raging lung infection and feel like poop.  Life is all about living!


Have you heard of the famous rock shark?  I think I got a little too close!



Hannah and Scott DID NOT learn from my mistake.





We had to stop for ice-cream on the way home.  Look how Hannah is patiently waiting for her two scoops.


Daddy is in heaven, ice-cream and jeeping, who could ask for a better day?





Snores completed a perfect Father's Day!  We are so blessed!
