"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.

Less Nausea

Well it is getting late so I'll make it short.  Andrea had dialysis starting at 7 AM so that was behind us by noon or so.  She gets very chilled from it, so we keep on changing out her blankets and getting her fresh hot ones from the warming oven, after they are done she usually sleeps an hour or so, after she awoke PT came in, did some excercises, got her into the wheelchair and we went driving for an hour or so.  She didn't get so nauseated today as she has been, so all around she had a fairly good day.  Tomorrow she goes down for a swallow fluoroscopy, I don't anticipate much difficulty she should do okay with it.  If she passes, they will start her on a very small amount of liquids and maybe something like pudding till her stomach can handle more.  Her bilirubin came down 105 points down to 134 from her last test on tuesday.  Hopefully it will continue going down after this too.  Goodnight.
