"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.

Feb 19

Well Andrea had a fairly good day again.  She says she was awake quite awhile during last night and so she slept in till 11 AM.  She stayed awake the rest of the day without a nap so now she ws ready to sleep.  She had a bit of nausea, threw up only once though and then was somewhat better after that.  We had her up in her wheelchair for 1.5 hours around 6 PM.  We also try to do her physio therapy with her because they don't come in for that on weekends.  We hope tomorrow will have no surprises and that she can continue improving.  The last 10 days or so we have seen some good things happening, she also realizes it, and it gies her new hope to continue.  Wishing you all a good night.
 
Regards, Maynard
