Pacing Wires

I knew this trip to the hospital was too good to be true when they told us we would go home today or tomorrow. Well, it looks like Stockton's body has thrown us a curve ball. Pacing wires are placed onto the heart during surgery and they come out through a tiny incision in the belly. After a few days they pull these wires out but Stockton has one wire that is stuck. Our nurses and doctors say that this happens but hardly ever. Of course Stockton has to fall into that category. I am not even surprised, more annoyed than anything. The surgeon has to weigh our two options now. 1. Leave the wire alone and just cut it so it is in the belly. 2. Put Stockton under anesthesia, re-open his wound and remove the wire. I hate when Stockton is put under anesthesia because it is not good for babies. It really makes me sick. Plus, that means more days in the hospital. Last night was a little rough for him because he pulled out his IV then the nurse tried twice to stick him and she failed. This morning he was woken up numerous times then he was poked twice in the foot and then the nurse drew blood from his hand. So frustrating! Keep him in your prayers. I am not sure how Stockton stays strong, I just feel so helpless.
