"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.

Dialysis, Physio, and 3h at RMH!

Good Evening Everyone
 
Today was another good day for Andrea, dialysis this morning with Physiotherapy going on at the same time.   Her throat was still quite sore, but all the tests came back negative, so it is likely only a common virus.  Her cough had loosened up, and  her chest seems clear.  Tylenol seems to help out with the pain, otherwise she seems okay, still getting stronger, although she is still not really eating.  that is something we will have to pay more attention to it that she eats something every day.  We took her to the RMH(Ronald McDonald House) again today, were gone about 3 hours again.  We will have to see what tomorrow brings, she will likely go down to the gym and attempt walking again between the paralled bars and also do some hand and arm excercises as well.  Now I am very tired so will sign off.
 
Thanks, Maynard
