Journal entry by Olivia Slack —
Week 19 update (6th week of bed rest)
Shelby and Ford had a checkup appointment today! Bryce was able to attend this appointment which is super exciting and also comforting to Shelby. This is the first appointment he has been allowed to go to since the first ultrasound due to COVID-19 procedures.
A few things from this appointment:
1. The bleed has grown again.
2. She is on bed rest and not suppose to leave the house for another two weeks. This is starting to wear on her mentally and emotionally as in the summer they are normally very active with family and friends. Please pray for this. She’s going to miss the fair and 4th of July activities and anyone who knows Shelby knows aside from Christmas, 4th of July is her favorite.
3. Ford is healthy and wiggly. He didn’t want to show his face at this appointment but his heartbeat was 156 and strong.
Please pray for Shelby, Bryce and Ford! This is very trying in many ways. They appreciate everything everyone has done for them!
