Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 31, 1987

I woke up around eight o’clock. Alex had come into bed in the middle of the night. He was kicking me again, Charlie had gone to Alex’s bed to sleep.

Alex had woken up before I did, I gave Alex his medicine and breakfast. Then we got everything ready and packed up the car. We left the house at 9:30 a.m. We stopped at Chilliwack’s McDonalds’s for breakfast. After that we didn’t stop until we got to Kamloops. We got to Blair’s at two o’clock. Blair was at work. I gave Alex his medicine then Charlie, Alex, Paul and Holly went out for awhile. I unpacked our clothes and had a shower. I wrote in the journal for about ten minutes then they all came back.

By this time it was almost four o’clock, we sat around and talked mostly about Alex’s condition. Then we went and watched TV.

Blair came home before six o’clock, we went out for dinner at Bonanza. After dinner we went to the video store and rented two movies.

We came home around eight o’clock and sat around and talked. Then we watched the video.

I put Alex to bed at ten o’clock. He wanted Kelly to come in the room with him. Alex fell asleep shortly afterwards.

After the video we watched the news, they said there was a Tornado in Edmonton. We were all quite concerned as Charles’s sisters live there. The clips on the TV looked pretty bad, it must be terrible to loose everything.

We went to bed after midnight.
