Diagnosis: Leukemia; August 18, 1988

I woke up at eight thirty, I made breakfast for Alex and myself. I had a shower and got dressed. Charlie woke up around ten thirty, I told him I was going out and leaving Alex with him. I just felt like I needed a break away from them.

I went to London Drugs to buy myself shampoo then I went to Toy City to buy Kurt and Pearl a present. I bought Kurt a view master and Pearl a shape sorter. Pearl’s was the hardest one to buy, most baby toys seem to be so expensive. Then I went to the mall to pay the telephone bill and to buy wrapping paper and cards for the kids. I got home at noon but Charlie and Alex were out. It sure was nice to have my lunch in peace and quiet for a change!

Alex was quite nice to me for a change, I think I should do this more often, maybe he would appreciate me more.

In the afternoon while Alex was watching his tape on TV I vacuumed the house.

I decided to move Alex’s Mercaptopurine pill from night time to morning time. I’m going to do it gradually to make sure he doesn’t get sick. I’m hoping that if he takes it in the morning it will help him so he doesn’t have an accident at night.

We ate dinner at five o’clock. At six o’clock I turned off Alex’s tape so I could tape the news for Charlie. Alex was really mad that I had done this. Alex said to me to put his Ghostbusters tape on right now! I told Alex if he was going to talk to me like that he could go to his room. Alex screamed and yelled and went into his room. I went to check on him and he was fast asleep. I changed his clothes.

I went downstairs and exercised, it sure was different having Alex asleep while I exercised. I typed in the journal and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
