The mom was in the hospital for 2 weeks refusing meds while I camped out at her house in my hammock taking care of great grandma and the kids. She finally took anti-psychotic meds for 2 days so they would let her out. She's taking care of Grandma now, and I have the kids at my house. CPS got a court order granting me temporary custody of the kids until the mom does 3 kinds of counseling, professionally supervised visits with the kids, and convinces a judge that she can take care of the kids and they'll be safe. It sounds like a long road for her to get the kids back, if at all. Meanwhile I and the wife are old (75 and 72) to handle grade-school kids with behavior problems 24/7! I'll keep going as long as I can to keep them out of foster care. Last night I had to wrestle the 6-year-old to get her to go to bed. Maybe Jiu-Jitsu classes was a mistake. She only weighs 60 pounds but she can throw me if I'm not careful. On Thursday I have cryosurgery to freeze a tumor in my left kidney. They say I might get out of hospital the same day if I'm not peeing too much blood, or the next day. Like Roseanne Rosanadana said, "It's always something."
