"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.

January 29

Well don't know what to report, Andrea had a fairly good, quiet day today, sat on the edge of her bed for 10 minutes this morning.  She had a few naps as well, totalled a few hours at least.  I think her color and the whites of her eyes are the best we have seen since the pump was put in.  The trache is supposed to come out Monday.  Everyone says that then she will improve very quickly.  After it is removed she will have to wait a minum of 48 hours and then a swallow study will be done to determine whether she can eat and drink.  She still has pain quite bad sometimes, seems to come and go.  Goodnight to you all.
 
Regards, Maynard
