    my son had to be drugged when he was quite young - not even 2 - to undergo a procedure to check his heart for a murmur or possibly something more serious. they drug them with a pretty mild sedative just to keep them calm while they scan the heart with what looks like an ultrasound.

    he was fine in the procedure, he gave a couple of odd looks, but when he got out he was very obviously drugged. it wasn't really funny, he was drooling, his eyes were rolling all around in his head, and we were trying to feed him but he couldn't get his mouth to work. it was not pleasant and we kept asking if he was ok.

    the doctor kept assuring us that he was fine, but he seriously looked like he had some sort of neurological impairment and it freaked me out.
