Diagnosis: Leukemia; September 29, 1988

The alarm woke me up just after seven o’clock. Alex goes to gym class today and it starts at nine thirty. Before I had my shower I went to see if Alex was awake yet, he was just waking up. I told Alex I was going to have a shower. After my shower I helped Alex to get dressed then I got dressed myself. We had breakfast then it was time to go to Alex’s class. Alex was pretty excited about going to the class, he wondered if Cindy would be his teacher.

When we got to the class most of the kids were all ready there. The teacher said that her name was Joan and that she wanted the parents to leave as it was much easier on the children. I changed Alex into a pair of shorts and he took off his socks. Then I left to do some errands and came back. I read until it was time for me to go and get Alex. Alex said he really enjoyed the class, he said that it was much better than the other gym class he was going to.

After the class Alex asked if he could go to Toy city to see if they had a Halloween costumes yet. They still hadn’t put all of them out yet. Alex wanted to look around the store but I told him that we had done that yesterday.

After we got home it was no time before Marla and the kids came over for lunch. The house wasn’t that tidy but I didn’t have too much time to do it this morning, hopefully Marla didn’t mind. Alex wasn’t that good today, he did a lot of complaining. He seems so much better when we go over to their house. It’s also hard to keep Paxton entertained, he just seems to go from one thing to another. Paxton has four stitches in his chin, he fell at McDonalds and the foot rest went into his chin. Their nanny took him to a doctor and had him take a look.

After lunch the kids went outside to play in the sandbox and the swings. They left at three thirty, Alex watched his show after they left.

We had dinner after five o’clock. After dinner Alex went outside to play with his friends. Mom phoned when she got home, she said that Dad’s surgery had been changed form six o’clock to three o’clock. So by that time she got there they were getting Dad ready to go for surgery and then she came home.

Mom then phoned back later and said that Dad had phoned her to tell her that everything was okay. She said Dad sure was funny, he said I sure love you Mom and I’m getting all sniffly. Mom said if you’re not doing anything come on down. I took it that she wanted some company, we went down as soon as Alex had gathered up his toys. Alex played for awhile then he laid down on the couch, but then Alex said he was hungry so Mom got him something to eat. We left around ten o’clock, Mom had quite a few phone calls while we were there.

I got Alex ready for bed then I watched TV and went to bed.
