Diagnosis: Leukemia; January 14-19, 1990

January 14, 1990

Samantha ate at six forty five, eleven, three, five and ten o’clock.

It sure is wonderful to sleep in our own bed. Alex seems quite happy to have his own room. He liked sleeping in Grandpa’s hobby room but it was very small.

We’re all pretty tired it sure was a busy day yesterday. It sure will take us a long time to unpack.
