"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.

Little Better Day


Well today was a little better one for Andrea.  Dialysis was early this morning and done by 1PM.  She slept some during dialysis so was awake the rest of the day except for an hour nap.  Pt was in to weigh her standing on the scale besides some other excercises.  She asked today how we could make time go faster, so she is sometimes impatient too, probably a good thing, as long as it doesn't get her down.  We had her up for an hour in her wheelchair this evening, although she was a bit nauseous for awhile.  Hopefully she will sleep good, she also can sleep in a bit on the weekend which she looks forward to.  Now it is time to sleep here too.
 
Goodnight, Maynard
