Trying to take some time to breathe

Well go figure five days after Jeremy & I got my mother moved out of the house in which she lived in for 30 yrs - My uncle Lloyd ( my mom's brother) suffers a massive heart attack on monday morning . According to the my aunt Jane ( my mom's sister) my uncle collasped on the floor of his bed room , falling onto my Aunt Edresses foot ( his wife) , well Edress thinks he's joking arround because my uncle was a kidder , he was always joking and cutting up with you when ever you were arroun . Any way she knew something was wrong when he didn't respond to her, she then called 911 - from there as he was on the way in the ambulance, he went into cardiac arrest and they had to shock his heart - they got him to the ER and he arrested twice more , they shocke his heart twice more, then later on that after noon he went into arrest again , they had to shock his heart once more - My mom and I got up to the hosptial about 5pm , to say the least he didn't look good , the Dr's were giving him all the medication they could, they had him on the high dosage of Dopamine for his blood pressure , Dr's said they would keep continue to do what they could to help him fight this , but unfortunately some time monday night and tuesday morning my uncle's organs began to shut down , his blood pressure was going down , none of the Dr's or nurses could give him any more medication to get his blood pressure back to an even level - so that's when the decision was made to just leave it be, let him go - his poor body was just worn out , both arteries in his heart were completely blocked - the fact that man was taking care of his wife Edress who suffer's from Parkasen's and on top of that being a good son and taking care of my grand mother who is in a nursing home , bless his heart he just burnt his candle at both ends and @ the age of 70 you just can't do that - not unless your in really good shape. To say the least the last 5 months have been rotten for me , it's just alot for one person to take . God oh mighty talking about needing a day to just breath and wrap my head arround everything . Between all the crazy insaine crap that has gone on with my son William & Leslie, DSS, state people, having to go to court - which is not over yet ( got to go back OCT 27th ) mean while before that date gets here I have to go take my asessments that the judge is requireing of me - so that away I can hopefully get granted a visiation with William was I have completed the asessments . Now my Uncle suffer's massive heart attack and passes away with in 24 hrs - god oh might lord jesus I need a break . I'm really trying not to get over whelmed, trying to just take one step @ a time and focus on getting my mom a home health nurse , so that away I don't end up burning my candle @ both ends - that also goes for Jeremy bless his heart , if it weren't for him I wouldn't been able to get my mom moved out of her 4 bed 2 bath house in a week , god bless Jeremy - he's done so well and the fact that we managed to work together moving my mom out of her house and didn't once have an arguement is a miricle, all I can say is thank you lord jesus .
