Alex came into bed in the middle of the night. Charlie told Alex at seven o’clock to go to the bathroom. This seemed to put him in a real rage. Alex went into the ensuite bathroom and Charlie went into the other bathroom. As soon as Alex realized this he ran into the other bathroom and said he had to go in that one. Charlie told him he had to wait, Alex fell to the floor and started screaming. Then Alex said he had to get dressed but I had to get him dressed. He’s been putting us against one another which is pretty hard. I’ve noticed it makes us both mad.
For instance if I give Alex his medicine, he’ll tell me Charlie has to do it. This morning when Charlie went to get him dressed he started screaming and hitting Charlie. Alex said I don’t want you Pa, I want Mama. I went and got Alex dressed then I went back to sleep. I was too tired to get up at seven o’clock.
Around nine o’clock Alex said he wanted to go shopping for groceries with Charlie. I said what did Pa say. Charlie said okay and they left.
I fell back to sleep and I woke up again at 10:40 a.m. I Must have been tired and I sure needed the extra sleep.
I got up and had my breakfast, I also helped them put away the groceries.
It sure bugs Charlie that the new neighbours leave the bathroom window open. He phoned around about a ready made blind. I found it rather weird that someone would open the bathroom window all day and night.
Charlie and Alex left for London Drugs. I had told Charlie earlier what time Alex and I had to be at the hospital.
I had a shower, got dressed, did my hair, my make-up and brushed my teeth. While I waited for them to come back I did the dishes, the laundry and cleaned up the house.
They arrived back at 12:42 p.m., we were suppose to leave at 12:45 p.m. Alex wanted to have some chicken before we left. Then he said that Pa had to come with him. He started screaming and crying then he threw himself down on the ground. This really make me mad. I really lost my cool, I had to leave him with Charlie, there was no reasoning with him.
We left for the hospital and we got there at 1:40 p.m. The nurses made a big fuss over Alex. Some of them hadn’t seen him for two months.
We waited awhile before Alex had his blood taken. I played a few games with Alex while we waited for the I.V. push. Alex and I went to the pharmacy and came back to the clinic before three o’clock. Alex had his I.V. push. Alex was really good, he didn’t move his arm at all. He didn’t cry, he said it hurt but that’s all. I was really proud of him.
When we left the clinic I told him I would buy him a prize for being so good. Alex wanted to go to London Drugs to buy something. He decided to buy a small car. We came home and I started to cook dinner. Alex didn’t have much for dinner, he said his stomach hurt.
After dinner Alex laid on our bed, watched TV and played with his cars.
I did the dishes and put the garbage and newspapers in the garage.
I gave Alex a bath, got him dressed and read him a story. Alex was asleep by eight o’clock.
I wrote in the journal for an hour. It’s nine o’clock, I’m going to watch TV for awhile and go to bed.
