"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.

Back on 24 hour dialysis

Good Evening to all
 
Andrea is still in the CVICU, likely will be there a couple more days.  They put her back on the 24 hour dialysis again this morning, they think she has a little too much fluid on board yet, so will have to see how it goes.  She complained about headache a lot today which is a bit unusual for her, she hardly ever has headaches at all.  I think it is partly because she did not get enough sleep last night.  Otherwise her blood numbers are not too bad, certainly improved from a week ago.  She was asleep when we left tonight, hopefully she sleeps well this night.  Still not sure whether her clot is gone or not, her pump numbers are a little on the high side, not to the point of doing anything drastic about it yet.  Don't know what else to report so goodnight.
 
Regards, Maynard
