"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.

"Stronger Every Day"

Dialysis started early this morning and she was able to nap a bit during that time.  The rest of the day she did not sleep, she was up for 2.25 hours in her wheelchair did some scrapbooking, driving around the hospital etcetera.  Physiotherapy did their work with her too.  Tomorrow we want to have her down to the gym for 10 oclock, they will likely see whether she can walk a little farther than the last time, do more hand and arm excercises also.  She is definitely a little stronger every day, still it will be a while yet till she is able to do some of what she was able to do before she got sick last summer.  She still is only eating a wee bit, hopefully that will soon improve.
 
thanks, Maynard
