We have just turned a corner from a rough couple of weeks.  Last Thursday, Rowen was hospitalized.  Turns out she contracted a bacterial infection (What?, How? remains a mystery).  We were in the hospital for 6 days.  I would take the day shift and Troy the night.  Poor Noah was shuffled in between there some how. After being released on Tuesday this week, we had to return to the hospital everyday (Wed.-Sat.) to receive antibiotic treatments via IV. 
Can't say I was impressed with the hospital/care.  Language was certainly a part of that, but stress and culture played a part as well.  It could be worse, thankfully we have access to medical care and our little girl is better and home!  Our kids have been sick quite a bit ...one thing after another.  I guess it takes time to build up new immunities.  Sigh.
So we get home ...then the earthquakes start!  Ugh.  No damage or injuries but unnerving.  Apparently Verona sits near two fault lines.  Both of those were stressed this week and moved.

I am really ready for a smooth stretch of road!
