Diagnosis: Leukemia; August 16, 1987

I woke at ten o’clock with Alex banging a teddy bear on my pillow. I told him to stop it, as far as I’m concerned it’s no way to wake up. Alex told me he wanted me to wake up, he wanted me to play with him.

I took Alex’s sheets off his bed. I gave Alex something to eat and his medicine. Then I gave him a shower and ironed my shirt. Charlie brushed Alex’s teeth and got him dressed. I got dressed and we left the house around twelve o’clock. We went to see Mitch play football. We got there around one o’clock. Mitch was the one of the smallest boys on the team. They lost by one point.

After the game we went to Mom and Dad’s. Alex feel asleep at 3:30 p.m., Charlie put him on Mom and Dad’s bed.

We had dinner at 5:30 p.m. I didn’t wake Alex up I figured it would be better to let him sleep. Alex woke up and I gave him his diner.

We left before nine o’clock. Alex played until eleven o’clock and went to bed. I wrote in the journal for about an hour.

I’m going to go to bed soon.
