In May of 1999, we took Kacy back to Nemours Cardiac Center for her catheterization and hemi-fontan. The cath went well except
her one leg did swell and turn purple,due to the cath site entry, but started getting better that night. The next morning
we were allowed to carry our very sedated daughter to the door of the OR. She gave us such a silly,half crocked smile, we
felt she was telling us everything would be okay. We went back to our room and prayed and waited. We were given periodic updates
, like during the first surgery,with their progress and how Kacy was doing. This surgery took only 1 and 1/2 hours, which
is what you pray for, because it's a good sign everything has gone as expected. We were able to see Kacy for a few minutes
and were warned about swelling and possible headaches. Kacy had little of either, and was on her way to a speedy recovery.

It was two mornings after her surgery, I was giving Kacy a bottle when I noticed she wasn't moving her right arm or hand at
all. It had been all bandaged up since the surgery from one of the lines they put in, so we figured maybe that was the cause
but asked the nurse to have a doctor check it. They unwrapped her arm, still no movement, did some pin pricks to it, then
told us they wanted to send her down for a CT scan, for a possible clot. No one warned us this could occur. Why our sweet
little girl? Hadn't she gone thru enough?
