I really have not had a chance to update lately, just things have been busy and doing a bit of soul searching. Right now I am down to 1 job, which could have its benefits as well as struggles. Right now things slowed down so I can gather my breath and just think (if possible). I am trying my hardest to get things through the system per se. Not sure where to start really.. but yes I am still looking for a 2nd job that wont exhaust me. But I am also looking into jobs. There is a medical assistant program up here that I figured I might as well look into seeing what I need to do for it. I know my EMT stuff will transfer into there. But I am also looking into doing my EMT up here... work on getting it transferred in as well as seeing what I need to do to work on the next step of getting my Advanced certificate. BUT first will be my children. They are first and I need to make sure that I can make it with working and keeping them busy with stuff. School is almost out for them and originally we had a trip planned for this summer, letting them go down to my parents for a 2 week break, however, my oldest might be starting a specialized school and I am waiting to see what we need to do for that. If she is accepted, it will be a year round program. This school is the Carmen Pingree Center for Learning for autistic children. I am pretty excited and scared at the same time. I will have to arrange transportation for her to the summer program not to mention the school is in the North SLC area (up by the U) and I live in the South area. ICK.
Yet another thing getting to me, is my younger brother. He has had some health issues and it has taken a turn for the worse. His liver is in complete failure. One kidney works. He now has pancreatitis from the poison floating around in him. None of the Doctors will agree on anything down there. One talked about getting him started on Dialysis, and another dr threw the idea out. One dr gave him a life term of 5 years, another 3 - 5 months (I hate to say this but this one seems about it). But my parents are in a right state. Arrangements have already been made for my nephew to go to my brothers best friend... but my parents aren't handling things very well. They know they cant raise my nephew since both have health issues but the stress of what my brother is going through is killing them. I heard my stepdad cry on the phone yesterday and it just about killed me as well. So one of the things I have been debating on is going back home for awhile. Just move back. Help out where I am needed there. Yet we lose all the resources that we finally got here. It took forever to get an In home worker started, we are also on the waiting list for a skills worker, the school, and all. So I am torn.
