Diagnosis: Leukemai; September 30, 1987

Alex woke me up just after seven o’clock, he wanted to pick a prize. I told him to go ahead, he came back and asked me to open it. Then a little while later he asked me to get him his cereal. I got up and gave him his cereal, it was 7:30 a.m.

I sat and watched TV, while Alex had his breakfast. I had a shower and got dressed. The maintenance man is to come between nine and nine thirty.

The fire alarm started beeping again after we had a shower. Charlie went and turned the power off. He asked the painter if he knew what it might be. He said it might be the moisture from having a shower as it is beside the bathroom.

I got Alex dressed and ready to go out. They’re painting the outside of the house, it’s probably better to go out. We went to get Alex his Halloween costume and came home around noon. We had lunch and shortly afterwards Kurt came over to play with Alex. I told Nora any time between four and five o’clock.

Alex and Kurt played really well together. It nice to see them together. The only problem is that I have a hard time understanding Kurt. Alex and Kurt were looking in the fridge. Kurt said I’d like some doke. Charlie thought he had said dope! I really didn’t know what he had said, finally we figured it out.

Nora came to get Kurt and they left at four thirty. I started to make dinner, Alex wanted something right away so I gave him plain macaroni. We had macaroni and cheese after five o’clock.

Around six o’clock Alex said he was tired so we had better go for a walk to wake him up. I told him, not after yesterday as he threw a temper tantrum right on the street. Alex said I’ll be good, I won’t bring my bike and I won’t scream any more. I said okay but you had better be good. He said okay.

Alex was good on his walk he didn’t complain at all.

Alex refused to have a bath and I was too tired to argue with him. I just let him watch TV on our bed.

I did the dishes and tided up the house. Then I watched TV until nine o’clock. I read in bed for awhile.
