"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.

Went to see her

Good Evening Everyone
 
Glad to tell all of you that Andrea had a good day today.  She definitely slept better last night and slept in till midmorning.  Her nurse was in and got her up on her feet beside the bed for a little while in the morning.  We got her up and ready and  went to chapel service at 2 oclock, she really enjoys that.  It really tires her out though, she is not used to crowds so she was back in bed after an hour or so.  Later friends brought in supper so we had her up again to the atrium and afterwards drove her around in the wheelchair which she enjoys a lot.  Tomorrow is dialysis again, not sure at what time though.  Faye has taken over most of Andrea's care, as that will be the case anyway when she eventually is able to leave the hospital.  Well it is time to shut down for the night, and I have run out of inspiration so goodnight.
 
Thanks, Maynard

PS, yup, that was us! Brought her supper and spent the evening with her. She looks so good already! And it's just awesome to hear her talk and to see her face animated and her eyes dancing just like they always used to!
