Diagnosis: Leukemia; August 28, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. I made Alex breakfast , I didn’t have any as I wasn’t hungry. Kurt came to the door at ten thirty but I told him Alex wasn’t ready yet and that he would be out shortly. Alex quickly got dressed and was outside in no time. I had my shower earlier so I was finishing doing my hair and getting dressed.

I made our beds and did the laundry and other things around the house while Alex was outside. The kids went to Patrick’s house which is down on Westlake, they didn’t ask Alex to come I guess they figured he would come with them. Alex was pretty upset that they didn’t stay outside with him.

In the afternoon I started to prepare some of the food for tonight’s dinner. I also did quite a number of other things around the house to make it as tidy and clean as possible. After I had finished doing the food I set up the table in the dining room. Everything was pretty well ready when Charlie came home from work. Charlie had been working overtime today. Charlie had a shower and got dressed. Not long after that Mom and Dad came over with Geordie. Mom brought a peach pie for dessert.

After dinner Alex went outside and asked Grandpa to see his sandbox. Then Alex came in to change into his swimming trunks. Alex asked Grandma and I to come out and watch him run through the sprinkler.

Mom and Dad left at eight thirty, they still looked pretty tired I hope they aren’t over doing it.

We watched TV, I cleaned up the kitchen and dining room during the commercials. The award show was on. Alex went to bed at nine o’clock. I watched tv and went to bed at eleven thirty.
