Jaggers heart check up

This past friday we had to take Jagger to the hospital to get his heart checked on. When he was only 2 weeks old the doctor heard a heart murmur and so they did a echocardiogram and decided he has a small hole in his heart. The doctor thought that it should close by the time he was two, but when we went in for his check up last week the murmur was still there. So we had to take him to have another echocardiogram done, and also a ekg and a chest x-ray. This time they had to sedate him so he would not move during the test. Lets just say that when he came out of the sedation me and chew have never laughed so hard at him. It was so funny seeing him act like he was drunk. He could barely hold his head up and keep his eyes open. The nurses gave him a sucker and he was having the hardest time finding his mouth. When he tried to walk again, I think he hit every wall possible. It was hilarious. Well we haven't heard back from the doctor yet, so hopefully everything is ok with him.

This is a picture of Jag right out of the hospital coming off his sedation. He struggled eating his sucker and he looks like he had been through you know where.
