A Young Wife’s Tale

Greetings from Virginia! David is in training this week, and Henry and I have camped out at the hotel. I had planned to do a lot of writing while David was in class each day, but the motherboard in David’s laptop died. Our iPhones make it possible for us to check email, and things like that, but writing is frustratingly slow on a phone.

Mostly I’ve been reading and knitting. I’m perfectly happy being stuck in a hotel room all day. It’s not much different from being stuck in our apartment all day, except I have less work to do.

Our hotel room has a kitchenette, and I’ve done a good bit of cooking trying to keep David gluten free and dairy free. He has eaten out a few times, and had dairy, but he seems to be okay. In fact, he’s walked Henry a lot on this trip.

Saturday we arrived in New Jersey. David’s parents picked us up at the airport. They had driven up in our car with Henry. They really love their son. Henry was happy to see us, but he seems to have really bonded with Grandma and Grandpa. I hear he got to drink coffee and eat french fries.

Although I’m really looking forward to our trip, I’m very worried that David is going to flare while we’re traveling. I’m looking into renting a wheelchair, but I don’t know if David will go for it.
