Spencer

Last week, Spencer and I were cuddling on the couch before bedtime. I noticed that his heart was racing, and that it sounded strange. I asked Dan to listen to see if he heard what I heard. He also thought it sounded a bit off. We decided that we'd bring him with us to Nolan's check-up on Friday to see if we were hearing things, or if there was something a little off. He was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. A few months back, he had a really bad stomach virus and was seriously dehydrated and run down. I brought him to the doctor then and they heard an irregular heartbeat but thought it was just due to dehydration. Anyway, our fantastic doctor jumped on things immediately. She wrote up req's for an ECG, an x-ray of his heart, and for an Echo cardiogram. We went ahead and had the ECG and his x-ray done on Friday. He sailed through those! I have no idea what they found, if anything. We're still waiting on our appointment at the Stollery to have his ultrasound done and then we'll be meeting back with the doctor to decide what, if anything, needs to be done! So, there you have it. Leave it to the mild mannered easygoing oldest babe to give us a bit of a scare!


He looked way to cute in this little gown not to take a picture! Right before going in for his x-ray. He charmed the pants off the tech!

Having his ECG. He was annoyed that he had to stay still for this one!!
