The Story Of Us

After a challenging summer, towards the end of August after getting an okay from D's doc we headed off on our Italian adventure. We took a red eye (usually our flight of choice) into Naples, Italy. Our hotel was in Sorrento, a popular city just outside the Amalfi Coast. There are three ways to get from Naples to anywhere on the Amalfi Coast. Train, ferry or private car. We choose the most convenient method, private car.  Why? Well with a private car we were picked up from the airport and dropped off at our hotel. In case of a train or ferry we would have had to take a taxi to the train station or port and then another taxi to our hotel. We had only two days, were jet lagged and convenience always wins for us. We had booked the car in advance and the driver was waiting for us when we arrived.  Why Sorrento? Pretty much the same reason as above. Convenience. To get to any town on the Amalfi Coast you would first have to get to Sorrento and then take a car,ferry,bus etc to get to...

Where do I even begin? Hope you all had a wonderful summer. And while we had a very rocky start to ours we were able to end it on a high note. Let's start with D. Thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers. They have helped immensely. While D had shown improvement compared to the early weeks of his diagnosis the doctor was still concerned with the speed of progress. There are three areas of concern, health of cornea, murdering of parasite and lastly vision. The murdering of the parasite has been going well.. not dead yet. But the doctor was especially concerned with the health of his cornea. So, we had cut our trip a little short so he could have an outpatient procedure done (applying amniotic membrane to his cornea) to boost it's health before school started. Well, (and this is where all your thoughts and prayers come in) when we arrived for the appointment the doctor was shocked at the recovery he had made in the past 10 days. So much so that he said the proced...

Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter Synopsis - Twenty years ago Claire Scott's eldest sister, Julia, went missing. No one knew where she went - no note, no body. It was a mystery that was never solved and it tore her family apart. Now another girl has disappeared, with chilling echoes of the past. And it seems that she might not be the only one. Claire is convinced Julia's disappearance is linked. But when she begins to learn the truth about her sister, she is confronted with a shocking discovery, and nothing will ever be the same... Thoughts - I am a big Karin Slaughter fan. I have read over 10 of her books. I usually read her Will Trent series. This was a stand alone novel. Her books are not for the light hearted. They are violent and the victims are always women. This was no different. The crimes were horrific. It was a wild ride.. there were a few times I may have wondered why the hell do I read such books. I don't read them often but I like them as a palette cleanser.   ...

I want to start by saying thank you for all of your kind words, prayers, wishes and positive thoughts. You have no idea how much we have appreciated it.                     D is on the mend. We still have a long way to go before his eye is fully healed and he has regained his vision but progress is being made and that is what is most important.  Now the big question.. what happened? Well towards the end of June, during the final days of school he scratched his cornea. We saw the doc.. got some drops. Then we started summer camp. My children have never gone to camp.. this year they requested to cut down on our travelling and spend a few weeks in camp instead. And I will not lie.. when we toured the camp we were in awe.. they were going to have a blast.  One week into camp D's eye started to get redder. By the time the weekend came around he had a fever. When following up with the eye doc she made the smart move, something w...
