hi,
I read your daughter's history and i can understand your concern.
as your daughter is too small, they wont be having good enough immunity to fight against all diseases. heart surgery is the major surgery and because of hospital admission, chances of hospital acuired infection will be more and can lead to sepsis. sepsis may be the reason for it.
thank you
take care
