Diagnosis: Leukemia; October 1, 1987

I couldn’t believe it Alex woke me up at 6:30 a.m. I can’t remember when he woke up so early. I was glad I had gone to bed early or else I would have been really tired.

Alex and I had breakfast then we watched TV. Charlie woke up at 7:30 a.m.

I had a shower and got dressed. I washed the fridge and did the dishes.

Alex and I went outside, I washed my car and Alex rode his bike. Alex decided he wanted to water my garden and he promptly watered me instead! It wasn’t too funny at the time. He was quite annoyed when I sent him inside to change, since he was wet as well.

By the time I finished and came upstairs Alex was having lunch. I played with Alex in his room then I told him to go for a nap. He was quite upset until I told him his friend does it every day. Alex decided this was okay and he went to bed.

Alex slept until 1:30 p.m., I wrote in the journal while he was asleep. I went downstairs to exercise, Alex came down and rode his bike.

Charlie went to work before three o’clock. While Alex was asleep the maintenance man came to replace the fire alarm.

Alex and I went to K-Mart. When we were leaving Alex fell down and hurt his foot. He said he couldn’t walk so I told him we couldn’t go to McDonald’s like he wanted to. Alex said no my foot is okay I can walk now. I told him I couldn’t carry him as I would have to carry the tray. We went to Woodward’s and Toy City then we came home.

Alex closed the closet door and pinched his hand. Poor guy he’s having a rough night!

I gave Alex a bath, got him ready for bed, got him to brush his teeth and read him a story. Alex was asleep by 8:30 p.m.

I watched TV and wrote in the journal. I’ll go to bed soon.
