"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.

Very good day, PT, company, scrapbooking

Good Evening Everyone
 
Andrea had another good day.  She slept in late, then PT was in and had her first sit on the edge of the bed and then to a standing position twice, each time for about 30 seconds.  That takes all she has to stand up, but it seems to be getting a wee bit better each time.  We had her up for about 2 hours in the afternoon, part of that was in the teen room doing scrapbooking, she seems quite enthused about that.  We bought her a Cricut pattern cutting machine for Christmas and now she is learning how to use it, quite the nifty machine.  After she returned to her room she napped awhile and then 2 of her school classmates came to visit awhile.  She is to the point where she really enjoys some company.  O yes her former school teacher also paid a visit this morning, much appreciated.  She seemed quite positive and upbeat today, talking more than before.  Tonight she also talked on the phone for the first time since November I believe, with her grandparents.  Hope she has a good night's rest, it always makes the next day go better.  That's it, that's all for tonight.  Thanks again for all your support and interest.
 
Regards, Maynard
