"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.

Not Feeling Well

Good Evening
 
Andrea still not feeling good, stomach bothering today again.  Blood was drawn for a bunch of tests for infections etc.  As far as I know all were negative, although blood culture test results can take a few days to come back.  We tried to have her get up for physio in the gym but she was not up to it today.  Otherwise the Heartmate II seems to function very well, it just takes time for all the other organs to recuperate.  It could also be that she needs to have her formula changed again, there might be another one that might agree more with her stomach.  We'll have to see what tomorrow brings and hopefully she will feel better.
 
Thanks, Maynard
