Diagnosis: Leukemia; May 22, 1988

Alex woke me up last night at three o’clock. He said he needed a glass of milk. Then he came into bed with us and kept on talking to me. He told me when they went to White Spot they had the same dinosaurs that Grandma had gotten him. Then he asked me if I had a good time. Alex finally fell asleep at four o’clock.

Then Alex woke me up before eight o’clock, he said he wanted breakfast. I was hoping to sleep in until at least nine o’clock, too bad!

After breakfast I had a shower, got dressed and vacuumed the house.

Shirley phoned to say they would be coming over around two thirty.

Before one o’clock I told Alex to go for a nap. Alex was really mad that he had to go for a nap. He screamed and yelled and tried to get away. He finally fell asleep.

Shirley and Brent came over at 1:45 p.m. Alex was still asleep. Brent played video games while Shirley and I talked.

I woke Alex up at two thirty, but he said he was too tired to get up yet. Brent was really upset that he couldn’t play with Alex. When Shirley told Brent it was time to go he started to cry. Brent said but I didn’t get to play with Alex.

Alex woke up when they were leaving. I thought he would be really mad but when I told him Brent cried. Alex thought that was really funny. Charlie came home from work shortly afterwards. Mom had invited us for dinner, we left at four thirty.

Charlie stopped to buy gas, they were having a gas war at Turbo. They were selling it for $39.9 a litre.

We got to Mom and Dad’s at quarter after five. I thought we might be late but dinner wasn’t ready yet.

Alex was in a pretty good mood for having his nap today. We came home around ten o’clock. Alex went to bed and I watched TV and went to bed after eleven o’clock.
