"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.

Pain is better

Good Evening
 
It is late so I'll be brief.  Andrea's day was a little better, the terrible pain she experienced last Friday seems to be gone, but it seems to have taken it's toll, combined with her tube feeds being shut off from last Thursday till Sunday night have made her weak.  Her blood numbers are not quite where they should be and the display screen the for pump seem to reflect that.  The power draw is a little high at times and combined with the other values, it seems like something is amiss.  Hopefully this stuff resolves itself shortly and if there is a clot someplace that it clears up quickly, she needs a break.  Please remember us in your prayers.
 
Goodnight, Maynard
