Diagnosis: Leukemia; May 24, 1989

I woke up before eight thirty. Alex slept in our bed last night. Something seemed to be bothering him but he wouldn’t say anything. In the middle of the night I felt his leg go across my stomach. I had to move his leg twice before Alex finally stopped doing it.

After doing my blood I had breakfast then I gave Kelly his medicine and had a shower. I had to dry my hair in the kitchen since Alex was still asleep in our bed.

Alex woke up at ten o’clock. He’s not feeling very good. I took Alex’s temperature which was normal and gave Alex his breakfast. He wanted fruit cup first then cold cereal.

I exercised downstairs then it was time for my snack.

After lunch Alex phoned Patrick to come over and play. Alex and Patrick played while I wrote in the journal. Alex went to Patrick’s house at two thirty. Alex said remember to phone me at the time I wrote on the paper. Then he said if you forget just look at the paper.

I phoned Alex at three thirty. I thought it was a bit soon but that was the time he wanted to come home.

I started to cook dinner and we ate dinner at six o’clock. I wrote in the journal until seven o’clock then I exercised before taking my blood.

Alex and I put away his toys. Alex watched Cosby and got ready for bed. It took him quite awhile to get ready. I had to keep on asking him if he was getting ready for bed. Alex was in bed by eight thirty.

I wrote in the journal, watched tv and had my snack before going to bed at eleven o’clock.
