That smile says it all.  Meaghan's day was super long but it ended with good news.  First, the CT scan was a breeze.  Then we had lunch in the hospital cafeteria and waited for our turn time to see Dr. Z in clinic.  That was probably the hardest part of Meaghan's day.  We had almost two hours between appointments.  Any of you who know Meaghan know patience isn't one of her star qualities.  I must say, she was on her best behavior, I almost can't believe it myself.  Meaghan took the day on like every other day, Jason and I were so scared we hardly remember getting to the hospital.  So when Dr Z said as she entered the room that Meaghan's lungs looked better, we had to have her repeat it.  There is some mucus and plugging left so another bronc will be scheduled in a few weeks but the point is that the current course is working.  Jason and I couldn't leave the building fast enough, we were afraid they'd change their minds.  Meaghan has to continue on the 3 oral antibiotics she is taking for some time to come.  Once we left the building for good we did a little happy dance and hugged each other tightly.  I feel 6 inches taller, this is the best news that we could have gotten.  Thank you all, all the care you have shared with us, all the prayers, they are being answered.  Meaghan is getting better!!!!!  We still need your support, this infection is not gone, our work isn't over.  Until there is a cure for cystic fibrosis Meaghan fights every day for the rest of her life.
