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

Happy New Year!

I can't believe Christmas is over; time sure flies when you are having fun with friends and family!  My parents joined us again this year for Christmas, and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable visit.  I always hate to see them go!

We brought in the New Year with a Feis in Pittsburgh, the wedding of my dear friend Ruth's son, and a Christmas celebration with Scott's family (we had to post-pone Christmas a week because of my brother-in-law's work schedule.)  It was all lovely.

I have to admit to something, however; I felt a lot of guilt this year.  Although I loved my presents I received, I felt guilty about each one.  I already have so much, how can I possibly deserve more?  It pains me to know there are families and children in our own country who had nothing this Christmas.  I realize this is not a problem I can solve; but it still makes me feel guilty.  Please pray for each person in our world who is suffering; who doesn't have the necessities of life; who is cold, alone, and afraid.  Our prayers can make a difference, so let's send some powerful prayers out for them!

I also have to let you all know that I have had a difficult time since Thanksgiving.  I think I shared that I was sick, well, I am still struggling to overcome what appears to be a virus.  It has been well over a month, and I am still tired and at times feeling ill.  I can hear again, which is a HUGE improvement, but I have had to really slow down.  Over the holidays, I needed a long nap each afternoon just to function in the evening.  This slowed down time has just served as one more reminder of the incredible gift I have been given.  Please continue to keep me in your prayers!

May God bless each and every one of you in this new year!  My love goes out to you all!  Nancy
