Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 29, 1988

Alex woke me up before eight o’clock, he wanted to know if there was anything on TV for him to watch. I told him what was on and he went to the living room.

I got up and made us our breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed. Since we had gotten up so early I decided to clean the front of the house. Alex wanted to help so I got him a sponge and we both cleaned.

A little while later, Alex wanted something to eat so we came in. Before I could get him something to eat Mom and Dad arrived they had been at the house with the alarm people. They had wanted to get the key today but the locks hadn’t been changed yet. Their agent told them to talk to the Leaders agent but the show home doesn’t open until one o’clock and they didn’t want to wait that long. Mom wondered if the agent could leave it with me, I told her that was okay. We had cheese and crackers and later brownies. They left just after twelve o’clock.

Alex and I finished washing down the house. It looks pretty good now.

We went to the mall and I was able to get a pair of sandals. It’s been so hot and I don’t like to wear thongs when I drive. After the mall we went to Video Stop to get a movie, Alex didn’t want a movie he said he wanted a color car when we were in the mall. We came home and I started to cook dinner. Alex wouldn’t eat the fettuccini I had made but he ate most of the salad I gave him. Then he wanted brownies for dessert.

After dinner Alex watched his shows while I did the dishes and tided up the house.

Charlie had phoned before dinner, Alex picked up the phone and said hi but when he realized it was Charlie he didn’t want to talk to him. Alex said to me it’s Pa and he sounded really disgusted. I talked to Charlie and he asked to talk to Alex but Alex said to Charlie that he wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t talk to him. I could tell that Charlie wanted to talk to Alex but there wasn’t anything I could do. After I got off the phone I asked Alex why he didn’t talk to Charlie and he said he was mad at him for leaving. I tried to explain to him that he had left to see Grandma because she was sick and had to go to the hospital quite often. Alex just wouldn’t listen to me.

Charlie said his mother isn’t doing that well she is in a wheelchair and they have to feed her. It sure is too bad that he has to see her this way, it must be very upsetting to him.

I got Alex ready for bed before nine o’clock, he complained that he wasn’t tired and he couldn’t sleep I told him just to lie in bed and play with his toys that he had brought to bed. I figured that he should be tired since he didn’t have a nap.

I watched the video that I had rented, it’s called Roxanne. It was pretty funny I quite enjoyed it. I taped a Michael Jackson show and went to bed.
