"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.

Feeling Some Better

Good Evening
 
Andrea is still in the CVICU, feeling about the same as last night, maybe a little bit better.  She had plasmaphoresis today because the plasmafree hemoglobin number had gone back up again.  It's kind of a waiting game to see if that number will go down and stay down.  That would indicate that there is no clot, all the CT scans ultrasounds etc come back negative.  Had her sitting on the edge of the bed twice today, tonight was much better than this morning.  Hopefully they can soon find out what is going on with her and get some help.  She is back on full feeds again and tolerating it well, don't know what else to report so will close, goodnight.
 
Regards, Maynard
