I booked it! The 1 BR!!!!Thank you all for the arm twisting! I knew I came to the right place to find some VWL enablers!
Hope it "sings to your soul" like it does mine. (phrase borrowed from someone on this thread--I think maybe eliza)
My youngest DS was diagnosed with Celiac 3 1/2 yrs. ago. It is a bit overwhelming at 1st, but it does get easier. Feel free to PM me if there's anything I can do you if you have any questions. More prayers coming your way! 
Oh & I'm with Muush. I'll take wine in my refillable mug please! 
Wine for Muushka coming up, but I'm keeping my eye on you because if you drink too much you might end up getting banned.

Hey Claire,Today is my DD'd 16th birthday. She will be getting her beginners driver's license and then it will be time to crawl in the car and let her get behind the wheel
. Maybe in another couple years...
I'm here with my coffee enjoying the beautiful lobby of VWL.
I'm finding my happy place a lot this past few weeks too. It is always hard to come home from WL but my last trip was especially so. While we were at WDW we got the call that my DS19 was withdrawing from college for medical reasons. We had known this was a possibility but left for Disney with the hope that he was going to be to finish the semester. So we came home to a house full of college kids on spring break with one who wouldn't be returning. He had some tests done and the doctor suspects celiac disease. So I've been sitting at my happy place every chance I get this week while we waited on results. Well, it is now weekend and we still don't have lab results so we will wait some more.
I have one son DS14 with IgA Nephropathy which is a kidney disease that for him has been very manageable and only requires a daily pill and six month checkups. He has been fortunate to have little damage to his kidney and great kidney function for this type of disease. Celiac, however, looks to be something that will greatly affect the daily life of DS19 and I've been just a little freaked out by it.
Sorry to dump it all on the groupies. I've tried to just remain quiet but now that I have another weekend to wait for a diagnosis, I just needed to share. Thanks for listening. Now back to a happy thought.
Sharing is great and I am a firm believer in the power of friendship!! Besides some thing tells me that with a user name like yours, both your sons will pick themselves up and come out shining.We'll be there, we are wilderness lodge
I'm trying not to panic....I was so looking forward to this trip and time spent with my family. It may yet work out, we'll just have to wait and see.
horselover and JT We may have a snag in our plans. Our son called from Iraq yesterday. His leave is now uncertain and he is projecting coming home the first part of May. We may or may not be able to make our trip May 1.
Dory Thinking of you today and hoping you get some answers soon. Our daughter was also suspected of having Celiac's. After many tests and consultations, it was determined she did not have Celiac's for which we are thankful. I know how stressful the waiting can be. Come here for support.
Di
and yes we just keep swimming!
yep you will be easy to spot and will definitely need to relax at VWL. Here is your hot black coffee. Stay warm! We are in North Texas and actually after quite a few days in the 70s have a chance of a freeze tonight. I'm glad we don't have so much cold weather and snow as most of you. That happened to me too. I blinked and somehow my oldest turns 21 this summer for your son to make it home for your trip.
