Jen just called me from the hospital, and Willow does not have cystic fibrosis! I'm relieved beyond words, since I was preparing myself for the worst. I think that's a pretty common defense mechanism in cases like this - hope for the best while preparing for the worst. She does have some sort of absorption problem (indicated by fat in her stool sample), which is what led the doctors to test for cystic fibrosis in the first place, so they still have to figure out what exactly the problem is.

More soon.
