Diagnosis: Leukemia; November 18, 1988

I woke up at ten o’clock. Alex was calling me from the bathroom. We then had breakfast, after breakfast Alex watched TV and I had a shower and got dressed.

Mom phoned while I was coming out of the shower. She wanted to know if I wanted to go shopping this afternoon, she would look after Alex. I said that would be great and that I would bring Alex down after lunch.

After I had gotten myself ready I got Alex ready and we had lunch. Alex was pretty upset that he was going to be left at Grandma and Grandpa’s. Alex said he wanted me to come with him and stay. I told him I had to go to the bank and buy him a Christmas present. Once we were there Alex seemed to be okay. I told Mom that Alex was a bit upset and he might cry. I tried sneaking away but Alex saw me. He said where are you going. I didn’t say anything and Alex said are you going shopping? I said yes, I was. Alex said have a good time. That was a surprise after how upset he was this morning about the idea.

So I first went to the bank and then I went to Metrotown. I was hoping to find the two things for Alex that I haven’t been able to find. I went to quite a few stores then I went into Just for Kids and they had one of the items. I couldn’t believe it, they had three of them and everywhere I had gone they said they wouldn’t be getting anymore.

I left the mall and went to Mom and Dad’s. The traffic was pretty heavy and I didn’t get back until after four o’clock. Mom said Alex had been fine that he had played and talked to himself. We came home and Charlie was home already. We decided to order a pizza for dinner, Charlie went to pick it up.

After dinner we watched TV Alex went to bed at nine o’clock. I watched TV and went to bed at midnight. after I had given Alex his medicine.
