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

Feis at the Falls

This weekend was our last Feis of the season.  It was in Niagara Falls, NY, and Hannah ended her season with 7 more medals, hooray!  Her teacher in Buffalo loved her new solo dress and we purchased a new wig to go with the dress this weekend as well.  It was a fun, but long day.

We drove up the night before and were able to walk to the American side of the Falls.  Here are some pictures from our weekend!
















Hannah in her solo dress with her new wig.  Where has my baby gone?


Way to Go, Hannah, three 1sts, two 2nds, a 3rd, and a 5th!


Our next big adventure Irish Dance will be to Oireachtas in November in Philadelphia.  Hannah was chosen for a choreography team, which is a big honor.  It is a HUGE commitment, practice every Sat. & Sun. (3 hours round trip), but we a thrilled for her.

Tuesday morning we leave for Jackson to see my parents, hooray!  I can finally be excited!  I will be sure to post pictures when we return!  Please pray for our safe travels!

So funny, I have pictures of Maria standing in some of the exact same spots you guys are standing in.

Maria had a good day too. 7 medals out of 9 dances. I won a third place in the art bracket (my first medal). She is now in a foot cast for 6 weeks because of a collapsing metatarsal on her right foot. Driving her nuts but she needs 6 weeks of rest and the specialist does not trust her to NOT dance.

Shoot me an email , I have a couple photos of you guys from this day with Maria. Shannon.Priore@yahoo.com

Good Luck to Hannah at her first Oriechtas. Hopefully next year she will be PC and qualify to do solo comp there. Have some fun !!!

We missed you guys at Halloween in Pittsburgh. First time we have done a feis and you were not there.
