10:50am: And.....just kidding. No pacing study today. The PCCU is indeed full. Now, it'll probably happen next week. Argh.
10:35am: I may have spoken (typed) too soon. There apparently isn't an empty room in the PCCU for Ayden to occupy while they do the pacing study, so this may not happen today.
Sometime this morning Ayden will be taken back down to the PCCU for his pacing study (what I have sometimes referred to as a "wire study"). Again, the doctors will attempt to induce an SVT so that they can map the electrical impulses in Ayden's heart, with the ultimate goal being to locate where the abnormal impulse is so that it can eventually be treated (probably via cardiac ablation).
He will be sedated during this process and will have to remain in the PCCU for most of the day today while the sedative wears off.
