Can Hemi-Fontan Surgery Cause Extreme Reactions Like Crying And Fear / Terror?

Our son is 7 days post op from a hemi-fontan, he has moments where he cries very loud and the look on his face is shear terror. The doctors and nurses seem puzzled and we are becoming frustrated. They feel it is either an eating issue or a hemi-headache. Is there any documentation to support what might cause such a terrifying reaction?

Hi,

The baby may have some pain still, which would make him cry such way.

Take care
