Grandparent Custodial Rights

My son and his wife have been seperated for a year. During this time I have taken care of my two grandchildren. Not full time with the older one, but full time with the 4 year old. Now the mother has lost her job, had another baby with the man she lives with. She has taken the children back to her house and refuses to let me see them. I would love any information about grandparents rights on this issue. I recently took the 4 year old to the dr for sinus problems. I have taken her to every dr visit but 2 since birth, the dr gave me medicine for her but her mother threw it away. I called Children's Services and they did an investigation. Nothing came of it since the dr said it wasnt a medical necessity for the child to have it. It was an antibiotic for sinusitis and sinus infection. I already had permission from the father to take the child to dr appointments but when I called the dr to see why he would say such a thing he refused to talk to me. I am very concerned for my grandchild and would like to see if she is still sick. What are my rights? Who do I turn to next? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
