Diagnosis: Leukemia; January 14, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex had slept in his bed all night. I went into his room and he was just waking up. I got him his medicine and his breakfast.

I made bran muffins and watched TV. My throat is sore I think I’m getting a cold. Alex had a cough for a few days now.

After the muffins came out of the oven Alex and I had one. Then I had a shower and got dressed.

Charlie went out shopping and came back after twelve o’clock.

I told Alex he had to have a nap. He went to sleep at one o’clock.

I watched TV and had lunch.

I woke Alex up at two fifteen. I gave him his medicine.

We watched TV and played Hamburger, light and learn and big bird games. Then we did some gluing with tissue paper, cotton balls and macaroni.

We had dinner after five o’clock. We watched TV and then I wrote in the journal for a while.

Alex wants me to continually play with him. He seems to need all my attention today. While I was writing in the journal he was playing with his cars. He tried to annoy me by making loud noises and putting his cars where I didn’t want him. I told him to stop and if he didn’t I would put the bucket of cars back to the spare room. He continued to do this, so I put them back. Alex had a temper tantrum, I left him alone. He went into the spare room and slammed the door. Alex came out five minutes later and apologized.

At seven thirty I gave Alex his medicine and got him ready for bed.

I watched TV, put away Alex’s toys did the dishes and tided up the house.

I wrote in the journal some more then I’m going to go to bed.
