Diagnosis: Leukemia; April 22, 1989

I woke up at eight thirty to hear a crash down in the basement and knew right away that something was wrong with Kelly. When I got downstairs Kelly was having another seizure. Once he was able to get up I put him outside, he really needed to go.

I phoned the vet and made an appointment for 11:45 a.m. today. At nine o’clock I phoned Mom and Dad. Dad answered and I asked if they could look after Alex while I took Kelly to the vet. I explained what had happened to Kelly. Dad said that would be okay.

The rest of the morning I spent getting ready to go. I took Alex to Mom and Dad’s at eleven thirty. Mom gave me cheque to pay for the vet which was really nice.

I saw a woman vet, I had never seen her before. She did a urine test which showed that Kelly was okay. She wasn’t sure why he was having the seizures. She said she wanted me to monitor how many seizures he has the next month. The vet gave me a prescription for valium, Kelly is to have ½ a pill every time he has a seizure. I wasn’t too pleased with what was done. It seemed to me more tests should be done.

We went to Mom and Dad’s. Alex and Mom had made chocolate chip cookies. I had cottage cheese since I can’t have any food with sugar in it.

We came home at two thirty. I rested and watched tv, Alex played in the spare room.

When Charlie got home we went out for dinner. The vet said Kelly may not have another seizure, so I thought it would be okay. After dinner we went to the Chew’s.

I was telling Laura about Kelly. She said maybe he’s going crazy. I thought that figures coming from Laura.

We didn’t stay very long but when we got home Kelly had another seizure. I gave Kelly a pill and hoped he wouldn’t have another seizure.

Alex went to bed at nine o’clock and I went to bed not long afterwards.
