Sick Super

We almost made it to Kal-el's first birthday with no illnessess but alas last night the sick bug reared its ugly head on my little man. I noticed he felt really warm when we were cuddling on the couch so I decided I would take his temp after several attempts at trying to talk myself out of believing he had a fever. I was quite suprised when the thermometer read 102.5! I gave him some fever reducer right away. Normally I would let his little system fight a bit first to strengthen his immune system  but I had a couple of febrile seizure as a baby so I didn't want to take any chances due to the heredity factor of seizures. You really cant keep this little guy down even with his fever he was talking and walking like crazy. He has so much heart. At one point we were laying down again b/c I felt like he needed to rest and I could hear him trying to breath better through his little stuffy nose. Instead of crying about his challening situation he got mad and was "talking back" to his illness and grunting in protest. Chris and I decided to go ahead and take our little trooper to see Dr Melvin first thing this morning. We just wanted to be proactive and take some preventative measures incase his little bug decided to get more hostile. Our beliefs were confirmed Super has a common cold but we got another surprise before we left. He also has an ear infection. My poor baby :(  He really is just so tough. Here he is with two different aliments but acting like such a big boy! We have to make sure Super gets plenty of rest and nutrients so we can get rid of his uninvited bug friend before his big day next Saturday! Mommy and Daddy will take good care of you til your all better again!
