Andi was moved from CICU last night and is back on her regular floor in Fondren 11. The goal is to finish getting fluid off of her...they’ve removed 19 lbs of fluid so far. They are also monitoring her kidney and liver function. Liver is almost back to normal but she is still considered to be in kidney failure but lab work shows it improving daily. As mentioned in earlier posts, her medical team is standing firm on their decision to not get her an LVAD. After she met with drs, social workers, psychiatrist, case managers, and transplant coordinators, it was decided that ultimately, she wouldn’t do good with an LVAD. Another major factor in considering her for LVAD is that she is so sick and they don’t feel like she would make it through such a lengthy surgery. LVAD surgery is 5x harder to recover from than a transplant surgery. At this time she is stable and physical therapy will start working with her on walking again. She is finally able to walk from bed to bathroom without assistance. Her friend, Jennifer Austin is there with her last night and tonight. Visitors are welcome and there are no visiting hours. Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. We’ve got a long way to go but she’s a fighter and is ready for another round.
