Diagnosis: Leukemia; November 20, 1988

I woke up at ten o’clock. Alex and Charlie were already up. Charlie had given Alex cereal for breakfast. I had my breakfast and before I had finished Charlie went grocery shopping. I had a shower and got dressed. Alex told me when I got dressed to phone Grandma. I asked him why and he said that Grandma had phoned when I was in the shower. He told me that he had picked up the phone and told Grandma that I was in the shower. He said Grandma asked him to tell me to phone her. I phoned Mom she asked us for dinner and if we would like to go shopping while they looked after Alex. I said that would be nice and we would bring Alex down soon.

When I told Alex he was a bit upset but I told him Grandma was going to do something special with him. Alex thought that would be fun.

We took Alex down to Mom and Dad’s at noon. Alex wanted to go from the car to the house by himself but we went with him. Alex was quite happy to see us go.

We went shopping downtown. We were looking for something for Alex but none of the stores had it. We had lunch at Eaton’s then we went to A&B Sound and bought two discs.

We went home, let Kelly outside and I did some work around the house. I phoned Mom, she said Alex was fine, I said we would be down soon.

We went to Mom and Dad’s at four o’clock. We had dinner before five o’clock. After dinner we played a game. We came home at eight thirty, Alex and I played a game we had borrowed from Mom and Dad. Then Alex went to bed. I watched TV, wrote in the journal and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
