In this Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016 photo, Federica Bianchi talks with her twin sons at their home in Rome. In October 2015, Bianchi brought Edoardo to Bambino Gesu's emergency room with breathing problems. He improved, but came down with another illness two days later that caused severe diarrhea and vomiting. After Edoardo’s brother, Raffaello, caught the bug, Bianchi brought them twice to Bambino Gesu, but was sent home. Eventually another hospital diagnosed them with rotavirus, isolated them to contain the infection and put them on rehydration drips. "I went to Bambino Gesu because I thought it was the best hospital in Rome," Bianchi said. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)
