"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.

Quiet Saturday

Tonight I hardly know what to report, it's been a quiet Saturday, Pt was in this morning for her daily workout, otherwise we had her up in the wheelchair for 1.5 hours this afternoon.  She did not sleep very much today, maybe tomorrow will be her day to catch up on rest, who knows.  She still has bouts of nausea throughout the day, someone will need to figure out how to control that and possibly a different medication for pain control too.  Otherwise there is evidence that she is putting on muscle and tissue again, she is also gaining strength and control of her neck muscles, able to hold her head up better than before.  I wish there was an injection for faith and courage also, we all could use a boost right about now.  Please remember to pray for Andrea and us also.
 
Thanks, Maynard
