Diagnosis: Leukemia; October 2, 1987

Alex woke me up at five o’clock. We went back to bed after I got him changed. Alex woke me up again at 6:30 a.m., he wanted his breakfast. I gave him his breakfast and later we watched TV.

Alex had a shower and started to gag in the shower. He threw up all his breakfast. I got him dressed then I went to the bank, Overwaitea Foods and came home.

Marla phoned to tell us she’s sick and she didn’t think we should go over. Marla said her doctor did a blood test, her blood count and blood pressure are both low. She also said she has no energy. I found it very upsetting as it brought back memories.

Alex had a nap at noon until after one o’clock when I woke him up.

Nora phoned and said Kurt wanted Alex to come over to play. I took Alex over at 1:30 p.m. and came home. It sure is quiet without him in the house. Dumb as it seems I almost feel like I don’t know what to do.

I went to get Alex at 2:45 p.m. Kurt asked Alex if he would come back to his house after they came back from school.

Alex went back to Kurt’s house at three thirty. I came home, did some knitting and cleaned up the kitchen.

I went and got Alex at 4:15 p.m. Kurt said can I come over to Alex’s house. Nora said no another day. I told him he could come over Monday afternoon.

We came home and Alex said he wanted Nachos. I made them and we watched TV. After dinner Alex went to watch Mr Dressup and play.

We went downstairs around six o’clock to exercise. Afterwards Alex wanted something to eat.

I told him it was time to have his bath. He said he wasn’t going to. I told him he could have a bath and play afterwards or go to bed. He started to cry and scream. I had quite a time getting him to wash up and brush his teeth.

Alex went to bed before eight o’clock. I watched TV, wrote in the journal, put away Alex’s toys and did the dishes.

I’m going to go to bed soon.
