"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.

Good Day

Hello to all

Today was a fairly good day for Andrea, she has improved from the low of Thursday morning when we expected her to be taken to adult ICU. We know that many prayers have been offered on her and our behalf, and we are sure they are heard by the One above. She also lost a lot of weight very dramatically there a few mornings ( almost 3 kgs in 24 hrs, and almost 2 kgs the next) which would affect most of us quite much also. In her condition that is very tough and most of that was fluids. Tomorrow the adult heart surgeon who will assist the paeds surgeon is coming to have a visit with us. He stopped in very briefly the other day and he seems to be a very nice man, very friendly and down to earth. They say he is a very capable surgeon which is good to know. Thanks for all the notes and songs etc., they sure brighten our days, also all the ones that are close enough to come visit. Sorry where I have not sent personal emails back, we are usually quite busy throughout the day. If you want to stop in it is nice when you call ahead so we can know you are coming.

Good night, Maynard
