In just a few hours, after the sun comes up, we will find out if Willow has cystic fibrosis. Both Jen and I have spent a few days agonizing over this possibility, and we have come out the other end feeling a strange positive energy. The diagnosis is out of our hands.

We're never quite sure what tomorrow brings, but we will meet it as best we can. For now, I must go and calm The Dickens, who WANTS HER MOMMY! loud enough to wake several neighborhoods.
