"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.

More Trials For Maynards

To all our dear friends and family

This posting is to inform all of you who may not have heard the news of the accident in which Faye's parents were involved in on the 8th of June. Early this morning the tenth day since the accident, Faye's mom passed on to her reward, having sustained very serious injuries in the crash.  Faye's dad and the other vehicle driver involved, both suffered only minor injuries.  We traveled to Saskatoon on Thursday, arriving there mid afternoon. Faye was able to spend several hours with her mom, and although in a lot of pain she was fairly clear, recognizing Faye but not able to communicate very well.  That evening she started failing more and Friday her vital signs began changing, her lungs began filling with fluid and they had to increase her pain medications.  We left Saskatoon yesterday about 5:30 PM, arriving home at 11:20 or so.  At 5:15 AM  the phone rang and we were informed her mother had just passed away.  She had a birthday May 31, reaching 79 years.  Most of the family got together in Regina on May 29 to celebrate.  We plan to return there tomorrow morning, thinking the funeral might be on Tuesday.  Please remember us in your prayers.

Thanks, Maynard
