At Home, Alex came home from work. Hi Honey I'm Home. Alex come look at this. Alex examined Simba bruise & got a cold compress from the freezer. I'm sure he got it when he was at the park. Alex put his lunchbox down on the table. Next week is Kimmy's 1st birthday. Gia continued. So I thought we could throw her a party. The great Honey. Do you have dinner ready? Alex did you herd what I said? I herd you is just that my boss got me a raise today. Gia got excited. Honey I'm so proud of you. Simba tapped on her Mom's shoulder. Simba got another bruise. Alex look shocked Why does he get all these bruises?
Alex said. Well I'll take him to see Melman in the morning. Simba went upstairs & lie down. Alex went upstairs & put more ice on his bruise. He notice more bruises on his leg. Dad? What's going on? asks Simba. I don't know son. I'm taking you to see Melman. You know, next week your sister is turning one. Get some sleep.
The next morning, Alex & Simba was at the Clinic. Melman called on them to go to an exam. room Melman examined the bruises. & listen to his lungs. Some how He's not giving enough oxygen in his blood. Melman wheeled in a tank & oxygen mask & told him to lie down. Melman putted it over his face while he checked his blood-pressure. Alex comport simba. Relax son. Your just giving extra oxygen to attached a pulse meter on his finger. It was below normal. Melman told Alex to take some blood so he got a butterfly needle & test tubes out & tide a tourniquet around his arm.. Alex filled 3 tubes for Melman to take to the lab. Melman was asking Alex question. Is he getting enough protein in his diet? Well He eats hot-dogs. Will that may not enough for him. You see Alex, A cub needs more protein in his body so he gets enough oxygen in his blood. The explains all the bruising. Melman give Alex a list of protein food that Simba can try. I'll prescribed a protein meds. Melman gave Alex the prescription. The pulse meter went back up so Melman took the mask off. How your feeling? Ask Melman. I'm okay. What about the bruises? Keep applying ice on & they should go away. Thanks Melman. said Alex.
They got home. Honey were home. What happen? asks Gia. Well Simba was not getting enough protein so Melman prescribed a protein meds to take & he needs to eat more protein. Alex give simba his meds to take with some water & tried to get him to eat some steak for lunch. He didn't like it. Gia had an idea that if she add flavors to the steak, That night she marinated Simba's steak. He took a bite. He liked it.
