So I've got about two seconds, but I just wanted to say that we're okay! Thanks so much for all of your kind words and prayers. Now that we've had some time to let it all sink in, we're feeling much better about everything with Madeline. She'll be okay, but we'll have a pretty big learning curve as we figure out how to deal with different issues that will inevitably pop up. Living with CF will be a new lifestyle. Dave for one wants Madeline to start playing the tuba as soon as possible so she can work her lungs (lungs are generally the biggest problem with CF). I just love the image of little Maddie and a tuba . . . It's Dr. Seuss-esque.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm not feeling as despondent as I sounded in the last post. Tomorrow we're off to Boston and Maine for a little adventure. I've seriously been obsessed with Maine just about my whole life, even though I've never been there, so I'm excited.

You didn't sound despondent in your last post, you sounded like a normal person with not-so-great news. It's fantastic you're feeling better, but always remember that people appreciate real emotions, because that's what they have . . .
It was so great to get to see you and Madeline. She is so beautiful. How fun you're going to Boston and Maine! I always did my state reports on Maine because I was obsessed too! Haven't been there yet though. Have fun! Tell us all about it!
Have a fabulous time back East. Snuggle that lil' Maddie for me.
Motherhood is all about adjusting, and you've had some big adjustments to wrap your head around. It's interesting how issues you're not prepared to deal with can become your "normal." I know your little girl has the best mom for her. And you have every right to be concerned, worried, to mourn, and now look at you. You are moving forward! All our love.
