Diagnosis: Leukemia; December 2, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex came into our room, he asked me to get his Advent Calendar down. After breakfast I had a shower and got dressed. I did the laundry and did the dishes.

After lunch we went to the Bay, I had the special done. What I mean is that Alex had his picture taken in the Portrait Studio. They have a special $19.96 for a package. Alex was really good, I think they probably got some good shots. Then we went to see Santa, we had to wait awhile before Santa came back. Alex couldn’t wait to see him. When Alex sat on Santa’s knee Santa, asked him what he wanted. Alex said he wanted micromasters and a jet copter. Santa asked Alex if he had been good. Alex looked at me and Santa said pretty good. Alex said yes then Santa said remember to be good until Christmas. Alex said he would. We had one picture taken which will be ready next Tuesday. The portraits from the Bay are going to be ready on the 17th at 2:20 for our reviewing.

We came home, Alex played in the spare room. Patrick came over to play. I asked him if he had been sick. Patrick said he hadn’t, he stayed until five o’clock.

Charlie ordered pizza which arrived shortly after five o’clock. After dinner I worked on the puzzle again.

The news had an update on Dioxin. Now they say the government knew about the problem for five years. The report said in animals it causes cancer and other diseases. That really got me, is that why Alex has Leukemia? I guess we’ll never know. Charlie said I didn’t eat that much seafood when I was pregnant but how much causes cancer?

Alex and I watched a Christmas show on TV. He had gotten ready for bed before the show. When the show was over he asked Pa to read him a story. He was in bed by nine o’clock.

I wrote in the journal from eight o’clock until ten thirty. I’m going to watch TV for awhile then I’m going to bed.
