"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.

Eating and Drinking a little

Andrea had a fairly good day, except she was nauseated off and on again.  Her Maxeran dose which she was getting  every 6 hours was withheld starting this morning, so it will likely need to be restarted tomorrow.  She lasted all day without throwing up until tonight, so late tonight she was able to throw up and then felt better.  We had her up in her wheelchair twice today., besides that she also had dialysis which tired her out a lot.  She is slowly getting stronger it seems, although it is not always obvious.  She has been drinking a little at a time and also eating jello in very small amounts.  hope tomorrow will be better and thanks for reading these epistles.  Goodnight.

Regards, Maynard
