Diagnosis: Leukemia; August 12, 1988

I woke up at eight o’clock. We had breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed. Marla had given Alex a Ghostbusters sweater that her mother’s friend had made. Alex has wanted to wear it all week and as usual he wants to wear it today. I told him it was too hot and that he’ll have to wear a t-shirt today. Alex was pretty mad that he couldn’t wear his Ghostbusters sweater. I’ve seen ghost buster t-shirts at Sears so I think I’ll have to get him one.

After lunch Alex fell asleep on the couch. I put him into his bed. I sat down and actually relaxed for a change!

Alex didn’t wake up until four o’clock. We left at five o’clock to go to McDonald’s for dinner then we went to Sears to see if they had a Ghostbusters shirt. Last time we were there they had Ghostbusters shirts on a rack but they didn’t have them there this time. Alex was really disappointed but I told him we should look around some more maybe they were somewhere else. Then Alex saw one way up on the wall close to the ceiling. I thought that was pretty good for a little kid. We picked out a t shirt then we told the clerk we wanted a Ghostbusters iron on. The clerk gave Alex the paper after he had finished ironing on the Ghostbusters logo! Alex was really happy now that he had a Ghostbusters t-shirt and the paper with the Ghostbusters logo on it.

We walked around for a while then we came home. Alex wasn’t tired since he had such a long nap. We watched TV and went to bed at eleven thirty.
