Diagnosis: Leukemia; June 21, 1988

I woke up before nine o’clock I checked to see if Alex was awake but he was still asleep. A few minutes later Alex was calling for me.

I made Alex his breakfast then I phoned the hospital to see if they had the results of Alex’s tests. I spoke to Janice and she said she would phone me back. Janice phoned about an hour later. She said Alex didn’t have the mumps he had an isolated virus.

I had a shower and got dressed in between waiting for the call back from the hospital.

We had an early lunch, then we went to Lions Park. Alex didn’t want to stay very long. I don’t think he was feeling that good. Afterwards we went to Save-On-Foods to buy Kelly some dog food. Alex said Kelly didn’t have any bones, so we had to buy him some!

We went to Safeway afterwards, I still needed three bedding plants for a hanging basket. We got home around two o’clock. Alex sure looked tired.

I did some work at my desk, while Alex watched TV.

Charlie came home at four o’clock. He said he wanted to go out for Chinese Food. Alex said he wanted to go to McDonald’s. We went to a Chinese Smorgasbord which was pretty good. We went to London Drugs and came home.

Alex played in the spare room when we got home. I wrote in the journal.

I got Alex ready for bed at eight thirty. He had fallen asleep between four and five o’clock, so he wasn’t all that tired. Alex kept on getting out of bed and saying that he needed more hugs. I was writing in the journal while Alex was getting in and out of bed.

At eleven o’clock I got ready for bed. Just as I’m getting into bed, Alex came into our room. He said he couldn’t sleep in his own bed he wanted to sleep with us. I told Alex he had to at least start in his own bed. I told him a story about his dolls and got him to go back to his bed. Then I went to bed as well.
