I woke up at nine o’clock. I’m really tired I didn’t get enough sleep.
Alex and I had our breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed.
I did the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, made our beds, put the garbage downstairs and did the laundry.
Morgan phoned just before we were leaving for the hospital. She said I walked to get the mail and saw your sign. I hope your not going very far. I said no not when Alex is going to Ranch Park School. Morgan said do you know where you’re going? I said no not yet, we want to get a bigger lot. Then she asked if Alex was going to Patrick’s party on Thursday. I said yes but I was wondering if it would be okay if we took him to Chuck E. Cheese. I explained that Alex wants to be around me all the time. Morgan said that would be fine.
We left for the hospital at one o’clock. We couldn’t get on the freeway as a semi had flipped over at the Capehorn overpass. We went along Lougheed Highway but then a truck had broken down so we turned off to Brunette then went to the freeway. By the time we got to the hospital we were fifteen minutes late. Mary took Alex right away for his blood test. She asked us what happened. I told her the problem we had coming in. Mary said she figured something must of happened since we’re always on time. Alex is really good at getting his blood test. It’s taken at his elbow and Alex will blow as Mary puts in the needle.
We went into the waiting room. Dr. S called us into the examining room. She said she hadn’t got the results for Alex’s blood test yet. Dr. S asked me how Alex had been this month. I told her Alex had been okay except he had a cough a few weeks ago. Dr. S checked Alex and said she would have to wait for the results of the blood test before giving me Alex’s prescription.
We went back into the waiting room. Laurel had sent Alex’s Vincristine to the pharmacy so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.
Dr. S gave me Alex’s blood test results. She said we would have to stop the Mercaptopurine and Methotrexiate as his counts were too low.
Alex and I went to the pharmacy then we went to the cafeteria. Alex got a bag of chips and chocolate milk. I got a pear since I forgot to bring my snack.
Alex had his Vincristine, we went to the pharmacy and came home. By the time we got home it was almost four o’clock. Charlie was already home form work.
Charlie started to paint the front of the house while I started dinner. Alex and I ate at five thirty, Charlie ate later since he wanted to paint before it got too dark.
After dinner I scrapped the deck at the back. Alex played on his swing set.
Alex went to bed at nine thirty. I watched tv and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
