"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.

Not Good at All

Hardly know how or what to write.  Met with the surgeon this morning and his message was not very hopeful.  Her bilirubin has shot up some more, and who knows how much more it can go up without serious lasting damage.  She has slept a lot today, although she wakes up in between, and then is still completely clear.  They will continue providing full support for as long as she is in her present state, the danger is if anything else like an infection gets out of control.  Here it is storming and Jeff and Twila came prepared to stay a few days, so we will be staying at her bedside mostly, we also have a room in the hostel booked for us.  It is part of the old hospital and is connected to the new, so we will be very near her room.  I don't know when I will be able to send another update, so please be patient.  Right now we need your prayers and support more than anything.
 
Love, Maynard
