Diagnosis: Leukemia; October 6, 1988

The alarm woke me up at seven o’clock. I went into Alex’s room to see if he was okay then he woke up. I told him I was going to have a shower and he said that he wanted a shower too. After the shower I helped Alex get dry and dressed then I got dressed myself. Alex and I had breakfast then it was time for us to go to his class.

After I had taken Alex into the class, I sat in the car and read my book until it was time for me to get Alex. We came home right away since Alex was tired. Alex watched TV when we got home.

We had an early lunch then we went down to Mom and Dad’s. Mom had phoned while we were out and told Charlie that Dad had come home this morning.

Dad said he was feeling pretty good except that his back was bothering him. He said that the operating table isn’t flat and that seemed to pull on his muscles. We didn’t stay very long as he seemed to be very tired. When we left he went upstairs to lie down.

We came home and Alex watched TV and played. Alex has been very irritable which is pretty normal for this time of his schedule.

We had dinner at five thirty. After dinner Alex played in his room. I did some typing in the journal but I ran out of the ink cartridge so I watched TV. Then I got Alex ready for bed at seven thirty and read him a story.

I watched TV and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
