Diagnsosis: Leukemia; July 15, 1989

I woke up at eight thirty. I made muffins for breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed. Alex didn’t wake up until much later. We had our muffins together.

We left at ten forty five for Lanie and Paxton’s party. It’s at Glencoe Park near their house. We looked at the map before we left and it looked like it should be just off Glencoe. When we drove along Glencoe Street there were no signs to indicate where the park was. We finally had to ask someone for directions. The park is behind a preschool, so it’s not easy to find. Most of the people were already there. Alex went off with the other kids to play on the swings, slide, etc.

It was a bit cold so I was glad I didn’t wear shorts. They barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch and they also had potato salad, raw cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, fixings for the hamburgers, grapes, cherries and cantaloupe plus Rice Krispies squares.

James had candies in the grass and after the kids had found them they had a sack race.

Lanie and Paxton opened their presents then the kids played for awhile. They each had their own cake Lanie’s was a while cake and Paxton had a chocolate cake.

The kids played some more then we left at two thirty. We rested for awhile before we got ready to go to Benny’s one month birth dinner.

The dinner was at Siu Lan Kung, when we got there nobody had arrived yet, of course we were early as usual.

The dishes came rather slowly, the dishes didn’t start coming until seven thirty. By the time dessert came it was after nine o’clock.

I found it very difficult sitting there for so very long. It causes a lot of pain in my legs. When we went to leave my feet had swollen so much I could hardly keep my shoes on. Then when we did get home I felt really ill, my stomach was really upset. I went straight to bed. Alex was really annoyed, he wanted me to read him a story.
