Diagnosis: Leukemia; September 20, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex woke up shortly afterwards, I gave him a shower and got him dressed. Alex had fruit cup for breakfast.

Charlie went to the dentist at nine thirty. I got ready to go to Marla’s for lunch. When Alex found out that we were going there he told me to hurry up and get dressed. He said we can’t be late. We left at eleven o’clock for their place.

Lanie was excited to see us, Paxton wasn’t too sure who we were. We haven’t seen them too much lately. Lanie and Alex had a good time playing together. They didn’t even fight!

Marla said she found a Nanny for the kids for when she goes to work on Monday and Fridays. We stayed until five o’clock and came home to have dinner. Alex didn’t eat very much, his cold is still bothering him. Alex went outside and played with Kurt for awhile then he came in because he said it was too cold outside.

Mom phoned at seven o’clock, she said that she had just come back from the hospital. Dad has lumps behind both his legs at the knee. The doctor said he had to do some tests and would probably have to have surgery. I asked Mom if she wanted some company tonight, she was really upset.

We stayed for a few hours, Alex was feeling pretty tired. There really wasn’t too much we could do or say to help. Mom said that Dad hadn’t slept too well the night before because of the pain in his leg. He said it was okay when he sat up. So Mom told him to go downstairs and sleep in the chair. Dad did finally get to sleep after going downstairs.

We got home at nine thirty, I got Alex ready for bed. I watched TV and went to bed at ten thirty.
