Prayer request...

Okay, I haven't been to active lately on the social front. I just have alot going on. Here is a summary:

My uncle Weldon is my mom's younger brother and he is having open heart surgery tomorrow, Wednesday at 7am in Visalia. He is 54 yrs. old if I remember correctly. He lived with us before I was born and while I was born. He graduated from Glendale HS while living with my parents, pre rein. He was there when I was born too and lived with us a bit after. He was always close with my family.

Now, my uncle Eric is my dad's younger brother and he is 54yrs. old too. He was born with MR and Down's. My grandparents who are gravely ill had to put him in a group home for the first time this last week. The courts turned down conservatorship of the one lady citing she was too old. 67 yrs. Now, my dad is her same age. He is retiring just for Eric. He plans to do one of two things. retire with Sonia (my stepmom) and bring Eric to a home down here OR retire without Sonia, move to my grandparent's place (retirees only) and stay next to Eric up there. It is near where he went to high school (Porterville HS) and sort of where he grew up. I think that is more of his preference. The catch, he is not conservator and not sure the courts will grant it to him on his own. So, I would agree to co-coservator with him. Although I don't have a strong bond with Eric, I still am family and very much have the credentials to do right by him. So that is the deal there. I would only take on anything if my dad passed. But then, I would really be the only family left that is responsible enough to do something. I can't just leave my uncle without family. I love the guy :)

I am just stressed out. I am worried of course and expecting my grandparent's passing. That will throw my dad for a loop. He has already buried two brothers. He doesn't deal well with death. He drinks it away and chain smokes. Not good for a man with two sets of heart attacks in his past. So, I have both uncles who are in limbo, my dad, my grandparents, morgen's retention issues, and all the usual stuff...IE autism, rene, brent, my brother, etc.. I am just going a mile a minute and having trouble fitting it all in. ON top of all of that, I literally forgot to take my medicine for a few days and had a med withdrawal. I thought my head was going to explode.

With that said, please pray for Weldon, Eric, Helen, Robert, and John. Helen and Robert are my grandparents and John my dad. Prayers work miracles and ease souls.
