"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.

Another Update

Good evening everyone!
How are you all? We have enjoyed a good day. We went back to the hospital this morning after having our second pass out with Andrea overnight. All went well so the doctors in charge discharged her and now we are living at the Ronald Macdonald House our home away from home. It is so nice here, I can make meals and today the unit girls were here baking up a storm. They made cinnamon rolls, 3 kinds of squares and 1 batch of cookies! So we have lots of goodies to eat. This eve. there was a craft for the kids to do so Andrea joined in and made a few cookies with marshmallow creme and then decorated them with leftover Halloween candy. Brad & Joyce & girls visited this pm and they got the joy of making and eating them! Tomorrow we go in for a bloodtest and then next Tuesday she has her clinic appoint. otherwise the weeknd is free. Andrea continues to slowly lose her extra fluid, seems like the belly flluid is the last to leave. Still using the wheelchair but is walking better too. You all have a good night and thanks for your prayers again. Maynard & Faye & Andrea
