Diagnosis: Leukemia; December 6, 1988

I woke up at eight o’clock. I had a shower, got dressed and had breakfast. I worked on the puzzle while I watched a tape.

Alex woke up at nine o’clock. I said good morning Alex, did you had a good sleep? Alex said yes did you? I said yes, I asked him what he wanted for breakfast. Alex said he wanted cereal but he didn’t want fruit loops, he wanted to open a new package. I told him no, he had to finish the old one first. Alex said then he would have nothing. I said that’s fine.

Alex finally had something at ten thirty. Then he had a bath and got dressed. We left to go to the mall where we picked up Alex’s picture with Santa then we went to Save-On-Foods to get some groceries. Alex had a temper tantrum in the store. He asked me to buy him ham. I said I didn’t want to buy so many things. Then Alex started to cry nobody likes me. I said why would you say that. He said you never buy what I want. I told him I can’t buy you everything. I said how about a few slices of ham. Alex said that was okay.

We came home around noon. I had my lunch and Alex made his own lunch. I told him I was really impressed. Alex was very pleased with himself.

After lunch we made cookies they didn’t turn out that well. They flattened out too much but they tasted good.

I started to cook dinner at three o’clock. Alex watched TV in our room while I watched a tape.

Alex and I ate dinner at five thirty. Charlie came home at six o’clock, I gave him his dinner. After dinner I went downstairs to write. Alex has been bugging me all day, I guess I shouldn’t say bugging me he was talking to me since he woke up. I had told him to be quiet but he kept on talking.

Mom phoned to see how Alex was, she thought he had gone to the hospital today. I said no he goes in on the 12th.

Alex and I watched a Christmas show then he got ready for bed. He started being upset about sleeping alone again. Something seems to be bothering him.

I watched TV and wrote in the journal. It’s now almost ten o’clock. I’ll go to bed soon.
