Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 23, 1987

Alex woke me up this morning at six o’clock. He was calling Mama, Mama. I went into his room and he went back to sleep once he saw me. Unfortunately this woke Charlie up and he didn’t go back to sleep.

Charlie took my car in to be repaired.

Alex and I woke up at ten o’clock. It was good for Alex to have a long sleep. I sure hope his blood is up on Monday. It’s been weighing heavy on my mind all week. I have a feeling that Alex was playing too hard because the time he started playing really hard like he use to his blood count started dropping. His ANC was 696,416,55 and 155. It was after his ANC was 696 that Alex has become so active. Sure hope I’m right. This week he’s been indoors and playing quite quietly.

We had breakfast, Charlie brought pastries from China Town. I had a shower and got dressed. Then I got Alex to have a shower, dressed and I did his laundry. Charlie went outside to do the lawn.

I went out and returned the video. I came home around 2:30 p.m. Charlie got ready for work and left.

Alex was watching a video, I gave him a present. He was really excited and played with it all day.

Alex wanted a snack so I gave him carrot sticks. I read him some stories while he ate. I did the dishes then I started dinner. We had dinner after five o’clock. Alex watched a video after dinner. I did the dinner dishes and when I checked on Alex he was asleep. I woke him up and gave him his medicine. I thought he would go back to sleep but he was wide awake.

We played with his new toys and at seven o’clock I gave him a bath. I got Alex ready for bed.

I had quite a time getting him to pick up his toys but he finally did it. I read him a story and told him to go to sleep. Alex said he couldn’t go to sleep, there were monsters in his room, the blinds were the wrong way and finally he needed Kelly in his room. I changed the blinds and brought Kelly in.

I watched TV and wrote in the journal for about an hour.

It’s almost eleven o’clock, I’m going to bed soon.
