"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.

Last Saturday

Good Evening
 
Today was a better one for our girl, she slept well and we brought her here around noon.  This week was not so good, her energy did not seem to be as good as it was the previous week, could have to do with drying her out too much on Wednesday in dialysis.  Last night I reported that her PIC line didn't work, this morning the IV nurse practioner came in and tried again and was able to withdraw samples no problem.  In fact she reviewed the xrays and said it is a beautiful line.  The nurse that was not able to withdraw yesterday morning is the same one who was unable to withdraw from the line maybe 6 weeks ago, so maybe it was just her bad luck or something.  Andrea has not slept at all today and is very tired, so i will sign off.
 
Thanks, Maynard
