We woke up around eight o’clock. I had a shower and got dressed, then I gave Alex his breakfast and his medicine. After that I got Alex dressed and Charlie brushed his teeth.
We left the house before 9:30 a.m. and got to the hospital at ten o’clock. The children at the hospital have to be tagged now. One of the kids took off last week and they couldn’t find. him.
As usual we had to wait a long time before anything was done. The nurse did Alex’s blood test around eleven o’clock. I was talking to Janice, I told her how nice it was not having to come in so often. She said all the nurses have commented on how Alex has adjusted to the Clinic and his treatments. Janice told them that Alex is very vocal about it once he leaves the hospital. It was nice to know they knew that.
We left around eleven thirty and went to a Won-Ton House for lunch. We got home around one o’clock.
Mom phoned and I let her know Alex’s blood was okay. I had asked her if she would look after Kelly when we go to Victoria. She wanted to know when we were going I told her I would phone her back as Charlie wasn’t sure when he wanted to go.
I wrote in the journal for awhile. I gave Alex gravol and about forty five minutes later I gave him Methotrexiate. Charlie went out, Alex and I both fell asleep in our bed.
I woke up after four o’clock, Alex was still asleep.
We woke up Alex and left the house shortly after five o’clock. Unfortunately I forgot to phone Mom and tell her we were coming over to drop Kelly off, that we would be leaving for Victoria tomorrow.
We went to Arby’s for diner and then went to Mom and Dad’s. We left around eight thirty and got home after nine. I started packing and put Alex to bed.
I went to bed before midnight.
