The real reason dinosaurs became extinct

If it looks like B doesn't look too good in this picture you aren't mistaken. Brenden had been running a fever the last 3 days. The doc said he was probably fighting a viral infection like a cold.

Tuesday night he woke up and he was just burning. I took his temp and it was 103.4. I called the doc's after-hours service and the nurse on duty advised me to give him some children's tylenol, let him drink as much liquid as he wanted, and give him a warm bath.

We got his his temp lowered to about 101 and then I let him sleep a little bit. He woke up about 45 minutes later all sweaty and crying, but his fever had broken. Emergency room trip avoided.

And you also might notice from this pic he's sitting up. He doesn't tip over any more, either. Once he started trying to sit up it didn't take him long to perfect it.
