Diagnosis: Leukemia; April 3, 1988

It’s Alex’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Alex!

At 1:30 a.m. some kid was skateboarding out on the street. Kelly was barking so I knew it had to be someone outside. When I went to the window the kid left. Then as I was coming up the stairs, Alex called Mama, Mama. I thought oh no I hope Alex isn’t going to wake up now. I went into his room and he said look what the Easter Bunny left me. He was really excited, I told him to go back to sleep. Alex said okay and he was asleep in a few minutes. I went back to sleep as well.

We were awoken at six thirty from a phone call for Lin. Their friends were leaving and wanted to meet them at McDonald’s in Chilliwack. They weren’t even dressed yet, they had to really rush around.

They left not long afterwards, they gave Alex $20 for his birthday which was really nice.

We gave Beau and Tina Easter chocolates.

I could hear Alex and Tina looking for the Easter eggs. Alex said that silly Easter Bunny put an egg in Miss Mouse’s bed.

After they had left, Alex came into our room and said look at all the Easter eggs the Easter Bunny left. Then he started to look through our room. Alex said wow look the Easter Bunny left some eggs for you too!

We then had breakfast and got dressed.

I started to make Alex’s cake, it took most of the morning.

We went to Mom and Dad’s in the afternoon. Mom and Dad had a lot of presents for Alex. They gave him a Mickey Mouse bank, a musical truck, Easter chocolates, pants, shorts and a t-shirt.

We gave Alex a Fisher Price mixer and Kelly gave him a puzzle. Charlie told me I was something else. The reason I gave him something else besides his bike was I thought we would be by ourselves.

Alex had a good time opening all the presents and having his Grandparents back.

We left around nine o’clock. Alex fell asleep on the way home. I put him to bed.

I went to bed around eleven o’clock.
