A lot of people have been wondering how Andrea's doing so I'm starting a blog to keep us all updated. If any of you know something I don't, email me or leave me a comment to let me know.
Here's the scoop. We all know Andrea had two heart transplants, the last one was something like seven years ago. And typically heart transplants require a lot of anti-rejection drugs, which damages kidneys. About a year ago, she started having an increased heart rate, which the doctors thought was from scar tissue, so this spring, i think, she had a procedure to help that. It didn't last, so it was rescheduled for the end of September. About two weeks before the date, she got very nauseated and Maynards brought her to emerge. She was transfered to Edmonton where she's been since, except for two days Thanksgiving weekend. Now, this is where the kidneys come in, they've failed or are failing or whatever, which basically means fluids aren't leaving her body so she's terribly bloated and weak. What's more, her heart has been really slow, except yesterday it started jumping all over the place, which makes her terribly nauseated.
So to sum it all up, her future is at stake and we all need to pray that, if God will, He'll heal her heart and kidneys and give her another 80 years!!!
