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 am so Behind!

So, how much more behind could I be?  I am so sorry that I lose time and don't post.  When last I wrote, I explained the whole story of how we ended up booking Jason Dunn to come to Olean.  Well, we recently secured a second venue at the Bethany Lutheran Church here in Olean, for Saturday, April 21.  This one is an all ages show, and we are hoping several families will come.  If you live close by and would like to have a great evening, check out the website: www.jasondunnislgd.blogspot.com for tickets and more info.

I have to tell you what I loved about the Lutheran Church's response to our invite for churches to sponsor this event.  Their Pastor contacted us and expressed their interest, and when I spoke with her, she acknowledged that their church's demographic may not be really interested, but they felt this was a great outreach program.  Isn't that how it should be, welcoming people who aren't necessarily just like us into our lives?  Her response eased my fear that maybe this wasn't God's plan at all, but our human desire.  I can't tell you how thankful I was for their truly selfless offer to serve!

We spent the last two days in Pittsburgh at appointments.  It has been decided that my most recent rounds of illness have been caused by Bronchitis.  Great, I go from Pseudomonas to Bronchitis!  Dr. Pilewski will be keeping his eye on this.

We did have a scare while at our visit.  In the middle of our appointment, Dr. Pilewski got an emergency message about a gunman being on the loose in the hospital next door:


UPMC officials have released some information about the people who were wounded in a gunfight today at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.


Seven people are expected to survive injuries they suffered after a gunman entered the lobby of the clinic and opened fire. One person died, and the suspected gunman was killed by bullets fired by University of Pittsburgh police.

It is frightening to know something like that is happening right next door.  Please pray for the victims of this shooting.


We are home safe, and are now preparing for all of the St. Patrick's Day shows coming up this week; what a crazy, yet fun, time of the year this is!

My love and blessings to you all!  Nancy
