"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.

Walked 60 feet with Walker

Hi Everyone
 
Andrea had a fairly good day, went down to physio this morning, managed to walk about 60 feet again with the aid of a walker.  It sure tuckers her out though, she also did some other occupational excersises to strengthen her arms and upper body.  Tonight she ate a bit of pasta again, hopefully this soon picks up.  The weather has been cold and windy so we have not taken her outside the last few days.  If all goes well we hope she can come to the RMH for the weekend.  Don't know what else to report so will close, Goodnight.
 
Thanks, Maynard
