"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.

Violently Nauseous

Good Evening
 
Another poor day for Andrea, her nausea is more violent and more gut wrenching than before, sometimes is bringing up, sometimes not.  It could be any number of things, ultrasound shows some gallstones present, but she is not experiencing pain like most gallstone sufferers do, still might be the problem.  The other thing is that her stomach lining might be sore for some reason, maybe it is just the flu.  The GI people were notified late this afternoon but nobody showed up and it is a long weekend too.  The blood tests all show good results it seems.  Her pump doctor is a little puzzled, but he is getting the right people involved, hopefully they can come up with a solution or she will dehydrate more.  Her night nurse thinks it is just bad flu, her gagging and wretching sure looks like that may be the case.  I see that I am repeating myself so will close.
 
Thanks, Maynard
