Diagnosis: Leukemia; January 25, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex was awake but he was already mad. He was cold and didn’t want to get dressed. I finally got him dressed then he wanted to sit on the sofa and have a blanket wrapped around him. He said he didn’t want anything to eat.

I went and got ready to go out, we had to go to Alex’s class. I told Alex if he wanted something to eat he had better eat because we had to go soon. Alex said he wasn’t hungry but when it was time to go he said he was hungry. I told him we had to go and he said he had to eat. I said ok what do you want? Alex said he wanted hot cereal. I brought out the cereal box which Alex smashed out of my hand. He said I don’t want that kind of cereal, I want the kind Pa makes. I said fine I’m going to phone your teacher and tell her to cross your name off her list. This really changed things. Alex said her wanted to go right now, but he wanted to bring the blanket with him because he was cold.

Believe it or not we made it to the class on time. Marla was there with Paxton and Lanie. I said to her if I had to go through this every Monday we wouldn’t be coming.

Marla and I sat and talked while the class was on. It was really quite relaxing.

Alex was fine throughout the class but Lanie came out crying.

When we got home we had lunch . Alex asked me to play with him. We had dinner at five o’clock. We watched TV after dinner, alex went to bed at nine o’clock.
