Diagnosis: Leukemia; May 15, 1989

I woke up at nine o’clock. I gave Kelly his pill and had a shower. Then I got ready to take Kelly to the vet.

We saw Dr. H., he checked Kelly all over. He took Kelly’s temperature which he said was normal but he wanted to check it under the microscope. When he came back he said that Kelly’s bowels were enlarged which were due to his pancreas. Dr. H. said Kelly’s pancreas is having trouble digesting the fat in his body. He said he’s had this problem before and I’ll give you an antibiotic which should clear up the problem. I said I was out of the valium. Dr. H. said he would give more as well and to stay with it three times a day.

We got home at eleven o’clock. After lunch Patrick came over to play and I watched tv. Morgan phoned twice, first to ask Alex to send Patrick home and then she asked Alex to call me to the phone. Morgan said since the boys play together so much we should get to know each other. We decided to meet at her place tomorrow morning.

Alex and I had dinner at five thirty. After dinner we watched tv and exercised downstairs. I didn’t feel very good after exercising, it seems every time I exercise the baby sits very low and pushes down on my bladder which is very uncomfortable.

We watched Cosby then it was time for Alex to go to bed. I watched t v and went to bed at then o’clock.
