Diagnosis: Leukemia; December 3, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Charlie and Alex were already up. Charlie had given Alex his breakfast. I had my breakfast, worked on my puzzle, had a shower and got dressed.

The rest of the day I spent cleaning up the house. I hadn’t done any housework since my back had been hurting me. The house looked like a disaster area. I got Alex to help me put away his toys that seemed to be scattered all over the place. I did the dishes, put away things that didn’t belong in the kitchen or should have been thrown out, then I swept the kitchen floor. That was all I could handle for one day. I worked on the puzzle until it was time for us to go out to eat. We went to McDonald’s for dinner. Alex wanted a turbomac which is a McDonald character in a car. After dinner we rented two movies and came home.

Alex watched his movie after Charlie watched the news. I watched the other movie around eight o’clock. Charlie started to watched the movie but didn’t stay to watch it. He went into our room and watched TV and probably fell asleep instantly.

After the movie was over Alex and I made Christmas decorations, chains out of Christmas wrapping paper.

Alex had a nap this afternoon so he was pretty energetic.

Alex sure did a good job on his chain. He did them himself and after I showed him how to join them into a full circle he did that himself. I was really impressed at how well he did them.

I finished the one Grandma had started, we hung it across the wall unit. Alex made three in a circle which we also hung on the wall unit.

I told Alex at ten thirty I wanted him to get ready for bed. Alex was in bed by eleven but when I went to bed at eleven thirty he was still awake.
