Diagnosis: Leukemia; December 5, 1988

I woke up at eight o’clock. I got dressed, Alex was sleeping so I cleaned the bathrooms. Before I finished Alex woke up, he came running in the bathroom with no clothes on. Alex said oh I thought you were having a shower. I said no I’m cleaning the bathrooms but would you like to have a shower? Alex said he did, after his shower Alex got himself dry and dressed. Ever since I hurt my back and was unable to help him put on his socks, Alex has been doing it himself.

After I had given Alex his breakfast I finished cleaning the bathrooms. I also cleaned the window sills, they had mildew on all of them. I had a shower, got dressed and had breakfast.

We had an early lunch which was quite interesting since I couldn’t get out of Alex what he wanted to eat.

We left at noon to go to Alex’s class, Merry Mish Mash. When we got there we saw Debbie and Collin. I said hi to Debbie, she looked right at me as though who are you? I said it’s Nancy. She said oh hi I didn’t recognize you, you look different. Debbie said this is Collin. I said boy has he ever changed, he’s grown so much and his face has changed a lot too. Debbie said he looks so much like his father. I said this is Alex. Debbie said he sure has changed.

Cindy called us in, asked the kids to put there jackets on the table. Then they got a name tag and played with the toys. Once Alex was settled I said goodbye to him and told him remember I’m the one to come and get you. Alex said okay, bye Mama.

I came home, the class is two hours long. I didn’t think I had that many things to do in the mall. I had lunch I didn’t have it with Alex. I watched my tape then I cleaned up the house.

When I went to get Alex, Debbie asked me to come over to their house next time. I said that would be great.

Alex said he was glad he had come. I told Debbie that Alex had said he didn’t want to go. Cindy overheard me and couldn’t believe it. I said before we came Alex said how much he was going to miss me. Cindy said Alex the child who runs off before he says good bye.

We stopped at Pharmasave on the way home, I bought stamps. Alex wanted me to buy him a toy. I told him I couldn’t today, with Christmas coming up he shouldn’t be getting any toys. He’ll be getting so many toys at Christmas. Before we left the store Alex started to cry. He said I wasn’t nice to him any more. We left the store. I told him when we got to the car that he was being silly and I didn’t buy toys for boys when they cried in the store.

Alex was still crying when we were driving home. Alex said he wanted to get his tape he left at Grandma’s I said I would if he stopped crying. Alex stayed in the car while I went to get his tape. Mom asked where Alex was, I said he was in the car. I said he was tired from his class so we were coming home.

When we got home Alex did some writing while I put stamps and address labels on the Christmas cards and mailed them.

Charlie came home at four o’clock. We ate dinner at five o’clock. After dinner I worked on the puzzle and read.

Alex and I watched a Christmas show on TV then he got ready for bed. Alex was in bed by nine o’clock.

I watched TV and went to bed at eleven thirty.
