Diagnosis: Leukemia; June 23, 1988

It’s Charlie’s Birthday today!

I woke up before nine o’clock, had a shower and got dressed. Alex was awake by that time and asked me to get him down. There is no way that I can pull him off the top bunk. He’s just gotten too heavy for me.

We both had breakfast, then Alex watched TV. I did the dishes, made the beds, cleaned up the bathrooms and made some cupcakes.

Mom and Dad came over with a load of stuff to store in the basement until they move to the new place. They stayed for about an hour. I had made coffee for them and Dad had a cupcake when they were ready.

When they left I phoned Allison to see if she could still look after Alex while I went to the dentist. She mentioned that Erin was coming over earlier as she was sick with the flu. I told her I had better not bring Alex over as I didn’t want him to get sick. She was very apologetic but I told her it was okay.

I phoned Marla to see if she was free but she wasn’t. Marla said she could take Alex with her but I told her I didn’t want her to change her plans, that I would take Alex with me.

We left for the dentists office at one o’clock. Dr. E said my tooth on the right would have to be refilled. The nurse then did some x-rays. Alex and the nurse went out of the room during the x-rays. Then I went and had my teeth cleaned. Alex was thoroughly bored, he kept asking me when we would be going home. Alex grabbed my feet and twisted then, grabbed my leg and held my hand. Meanwhile I’m having my teeth cleaned!

We left the dentists office at three o’clock. Alex watched Ghostbusters when we got home.

Alex and I wished Charlie Happy Birthday when he got home.

We went to P.J.’s for dinner and came home.

Alex and I decorated a cup cake and put a candle on it. We sang Happy Birthday, Alex helped Charlie blow out the candle.

I cleaned up the basement and vacuumed the floor in the evening.

I got Alex ready for bed at eight thirty. I tided up the house, had a bath and went to bed at ten o’clock.
