"We Love Andrea" was created to update Andrea's friends as she went through a difficult journey. After her second heart transplant when her pulse began to speed up she was given a pacemaker, then a Heart Mate II or LVAD. She was in the Stollery Children's Hospital, then the Mazankowski heart unit in Edmonton, Alberta for 7 months. However, she peacefully died on May 11, 2011 when the rest of her heart and other organs could handle the strain no longer. If you come to this blog, pray for her family and friends, remember to tell your friends you love them, then sign your organ donor card.

No News

I haven't heard anything new today so I suppose that's good?
Last I heard (the other day) her kidneys were functioning better, but she still has a ways to go... The doctors had wanted to do an MRI but for that you have to lie perfectly still, on your back, for quite a while and she's unable to lie on her back because the fluid in her body makes it hard to breathe. Then they tried placing a special camera on her chest but the weight was hard for her to handle... But still no word on whether she got or is getting a pacemaker.
