"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.

Starting a Scrapbook!

Well it was another fairly good day for our girl.  Dialysis was started first thing this morning,over by about 1 or so.  Around 2 oclock with the help of the PT she sat up on the edge of the bed first, then with help she stood and turned and sat down in her wheelchair.  We took her to the teen room where she did some scrapbook stuff and made a poster. we also went to the Tim Horton's that is in the hospital with some people that stopped in.  By that time she was up about 2 hours and then was ready to go back to bed.  She said it had been a fairly good day, seems like her spirits are more positive too.  She is starting to make a scrapbook of this stay in the hospital, it is something she loves doing.  Her hands shake a lot so her mother does a lot of it, but the ideas are Andrea's.  I don't remember any nausea today, painkiller was only tylenol also.  Well that is all I can think of so late, so goodnight.
 
Thanks, Maynard
