It is doubtful you can get custody if you are in a shelter. If you have family who would take the kids in, that might be possible to get them moved.
If you request an investigation into the home conditions and the grandparents are found wanting and CSS detemines that they would be better-off elsewhere, then it is likely that they will be placed in foster care.
If you are able to live with family, you might get custody. Good luck with the surgery and your children.
