Heart op Grace paralysed by stroke

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD girl has been left paralysed after suffering a stroke during open heart surgery.

Grace Grogan was born with half a heart and has gone through several operations.

She had her fourth procedure on October 17 but, when she woke, medics at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow realised she was paralysed down her right side.

Her parents Vicky Connal, 37, and Ricky Grogan, 36, from Coatbridge, were told a blood clot in her brain had led to a stroke.

Surgeons were then forced to remove half the youngster's skull in a bid to reduce swelling and save her life.
