Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 19, 1988

Alex woke me up this morning at 7:45 a.m., he said he was really hungry and wanted his breakfast. I got up and got him his breakfast. I figured since I was up so early I might as well do some cleaning. I cleaned all the furniture in the house and I washed all the floors. Alex fell asleep at 8:45 a.m. and didn’t wake up until eleven o’clock. He sure was mad when he woke up. He said why did you turn off the TV? I told him that his shows were over so I turned it off. Alex said he wanted to watch the end of Teddy Ruxbin and he wanted me to put it on right now! I told him that I had taped a different one and he could watch that if he wanted to, but Alex said he didn’t want that one. I left him to decide what he wanted to do. After about ten minutes Alex had calmed down and he decided to watch the one that was taped.

I had a shower and got dressed. We had our lunch around noon then we went to the mall. We looked for Brent’s present but it’s really hard to find war stuff. All we could find were tanks and they were very poor quality so I didn’t buy them. It sure was nice and cool in the mall, I can’t believe how hot it has been this last while. It’s been around 30C during the day.

We got home after three o’clock, Alex watched TV while I relaxed. Alex and I ate earlier as Charlie wanted something else. After dinner Alex asked me to set up his pool with the slide in the pool. Alex wanted me to have a water fight with him but I told him that I was too tired and hot to be running around having a water fight. Alex started to cry and he said he wanted to have a water fight with me. Rayon came into her backyard to see what was going on. I told Alex I would have a water fight with him but I wasn’t running all over the yard. Alex said that was okay. He had already gotten me soaking wet when he was mad, he had kicked me when he wan in the water. That sure was shock to get cold water on me when I was so hot. After we had out water fight we both came into the house and got changed.

We went to London Drugs around eight o’clock, Charlie stayed home. I wasn’t planning taking Alex with me but he wanted to come and I figured he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep it being so hot. We were able to find Brent a tank of better quality and we also bought him a Ghostbusters book. We’ll have to go to Toy City and buy him something else. We got home around eight thirty, we watched tv, then I got Alex ready for bed. I watched tv and went to bed at midnight.
