"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.

"Basically the Same"

Good Evening
 
Today was basically the same as yesterday, headache pain unchanged, not really less or more.  PT was in today and exercised her limbs in bed, then got her up sitting awhile and then stood and sat down 3 times. Later on OT came in and we got her up in her wheelchair where she sat for 1.75 hours and without being too uncomfortable.  I was pleasantly surprised when I helped her stand and move over to the wheelchair at how much strength and coordination she had, seemed better than expected.  We'll just have to see how she does, and only take one day at a time, which is all anyone has.  I've run out of inspiration and will have to close or else I will repeat myself.  Goodnight.
 
Thanks, Maynard
