. he suggested a modification to the plan - he asked me if i would go east along with him so that i could stay close by during his summer trip .
t thought it was an adaptive solution . i ran it by lauren . she , too . was impressed with jonas's idea . i had already decided that i would be taking at least a month's summer break from my practice . i needed some time way . i would use some of it to go east with jonas . i would literally be close by if he needed me . and he and i would be able to spend a day together exploring new jork city during each of thhe three weeks he was with his aunt and uncles's family in white plains .
lauren saw the new summer schedule as an opportunity too . she had just been informed that the local U.S . attorney had decided not to prosecute her for a prescription drug importation fiasco she'd gotten messed up in earlier in the year . the day after i told her i was considering going to new jork with jonas , she began planning a long-postpond trip to the netherlands to track down a daughter she'd given up for adoption as an infafant many years before we met .
she considered the timing auspicious medically , as well .
her neurologist had recently recommened a cange in her MS medications . for many years she had been taking IM interferon injections to control the onset of new multiple sclerosis symptoms . given her recent instability , her doctor wanted to switch her to tysabri , the first of the monclonal antibodies avaible for MS prophylaxis . as part of the transition protocol she would need to go off interferon prior to her first dose of tyssabri.
she would make the trip to holand during the hiatus between the two medicines . a double holiday , " she called it .
grace was torn about the change in plans . she'd been excited about spending the summer in boulder with her new brother , but she was also thrilled that she was going to get the chance to go to europe for a girls' adventure with her mother .
what neither lauren nor i said to each other , however , was that . we were both content to use the break from each other to continue to heal . it had been a difficult year for each of us personally . it had been a troublesome year for us as a couple .
jonas's needs provided a perfect platform .
mona , jonas's nanny , eagerly volunteered to house-sit , keep an eye on adrienne's vacant home , and watch our three dogs .
our summer cards , it seemed, had been dealt .
