Diagnosis: Leukemia; November 6, 1989

Samantha woke up at one o’clock and five o’clock. She then woke up at nine forty. When I came downstairs I reminded Charlie that he had to take Alex to the hospital this morning. Charlie had forgotten all about it. They had to rush around to leave on time.

After I had fed Samantha I had a shower, got dressed and had my breakfast. I took most of Alex’s toys out of his room and put them into the basement. Alex wants to stay in Dad’s hobby room. So there isn’t enough room for all his toys and to play as well.

Charlie and Alex came home at twelve forty. Alex had a blood test. Charlie said Dr. S said I don’t know why you came in today Alex. Charlie told her she had requested him to come in. He said to me he really wonders about her. I said does she think we want to come in?!

Charlie bought Alex a police car that has flashing sirens and a real siren sound. I never realized how irritating it could be especially when I’m trying to feed Samantha.

Samantha had a feeding at two o’clock. I had a hard time getting her back to sleep.

I sterilized some bottles and expressed milk for later tonight. Charlie wants to be able to fee Samantha tonight when he gets home.

Samantha woke up at six o’clock for her feeding. We ate dinner when I had finished feeding her. Samantha didn’t sleep long she had another feeding at seven o’clock.

I got Alex ready for bed at eight o’clock. Samantha woke up again, I fed her at nine o’clock and ten o’clock. It was becoming very frustrating not being able to get her to go to sleep.

Samantha slept until eleven thirty. I took her downstairs and rocked her in the chair until she fell asleep. By this time Charlie came home from work. I put Samantha in her crib. She woke up at one o’clock again. Charlie took Samantha downstairs and gave her a bottle I had expressed.

I had gone to bed after midnight.
