Diagnosis: Leukemia; June 4, 1989

Alex woke me up at eight thirty, he said he wanted his breakfast. I got up to make it when Kelly started to complain. I had to get dressed to let him out in the front. Kelly had been sick again, he threw up by the door.

I made Alex and my breakfast, did the dishes, gave Kelly his medicine and had a shower.

We left at eleven thirty for Como Lake. They were having remote control sailing boats.

Alex and I went to the playground and walked around the lake while Charlie drove to the other side and parked the car. The boats were nothing special they sailed the boats around the lake. I thought they would be having a race.

We went to Lougheed mall to have lunch and for Charlie to buy a pair of shoes. We got home before two o’clock. I wrote in the journal and sat outside.

Alex and I came in at three o’clock to watch the end of the telethon but it wasn’t on.

We started to cook dinner shortly after we had come in, we had BBQ steak.

After dinner I exercised then I phoned Mom to make sure it was okay if we came down, Alex has a cold and I didn’t want Dad to get it. Mom said it was okay as long as Alex didn’t kiss Grandpa.

We watched a movie we had rented with Mom and Dad; Gorilla’s in the Mist.

We got home at eleven o’clock. Alex wanted to watch his movie. I said he could watch some of it then I wanted him to get ready for bed. Alex said he would. When I told him it was time he said he had to have a snack. Then Alex got ready for bed but he wanted to play in his room first. I said no that it was late, eleven thirty already. Alex was really upset and started to cry. He said if he couldn’t play he would kick and punch. I told him to get to bed right now! Finally Alex went to bed, I went to bed after I gave Kelly his pill.
