Dayne's heart



This week Dayne had another check up on his heart. I try to only post happy events on our blog so I am only going to report the happy things about his check up.
He had to be sedated for the procedure, which is basically an ultrasound of his heart, but he has to be completely still.
He did not even cry when they put in his IV. He was fascinated with the wrap around his wrist. The medication they gave him was supposed to put him to sleep. The nurses were all surprised that this little guy was such a fighter, he did not fall asleep once! I guess they didn't know that even though a Fox is small they can fight better than any animal.
Jason and I appreciated the comic relief of Dayne not going to sleep, it helped to ease some of the stress. He was also very happy most of the time, which also made it easier.
Once it was time to go the Doctor strapped a monitor to Dayne which he had to wear for 24 hours. We took these pictures of him wearing his "jet-pack". Another testament to his amazing temperament, he did not fuss about this gadget tied to his body. Maybe because he thought it looked really cool, just like Jengo Fett's jet pack, or because his is just plain amazing.
