Stressed out!

The past week has been so stressful...
So, I don't know if I told you guys but last Thursday, we took my dad to the ER because he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. They found a compression fracture in his spine that had apparently been there since 2006 that nobody told us about. So Friday, he was canceling doctor's appointments because he was in no shape to drive so I called out of work so that he could see his doctor. Over the weekend, I noticed H had a rash in her diaper area and I assumed it was just a diaper rash. Monday, DC called me and said H had a rash on her legs and arms and needed a doctor's note to come back. Took her to the doctor and found out she got HFM again. So I had to take Tuesday off but she was fine after that. Tuesday I also took my dad to a doctor appointment later in the day and he told me "btw, I rear-ended someone today." Because of all the medicines he's on, he definitely shouldn't be driving. So I took his keys away. This past Thursday (the other day) H sucked on an unidentifiable pill that looked like one of the oxytocin or OxyContin pills my dad used to take that he apparently dropped on the ground at one point and NEVER PICKED UP. So I called her doc's office and they told me to call poison control, I called poison control and they said "GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW." So we went back to the ER where my dad pulls a list of all his meds and the docs/nurses went through the list to try to identify it. We never did. They said we had to stay overnight for observation. Which was awful. She didn't go to bed until midnight. So her whole Friday was thrown off. We didn't get to celebrate Halloween.
Also, when we got home for trick or treaters, my dad calls and says he's stuck at a gas station, lost his debit card and has no gas to leave. WTF?! How?! I hid his keys!! We had to drive out to save him, so I left a bowl for the trick or treaters. When we were minutes away from the gas station (btw, that was 20+ minutes away from home), my dad calls and says he's found his card and told me I could go back home. BLERG!! We get home at the end of trick or treating. We had little to no candy taken from the bowl and I saw no kids on the streets. WTF happened to Halloween?!
At least I can pig out on candy today while my mom comes over so I can decompress a little...
