Help Elisha focus on staying pregnant longer

My name is Julie and My friend Elisha had a difficult weekend and now a very long road ahead. Her bag of water broke at just 21.5 weeks.

Her words are below.

Here goes….

After a week of Covid and a few days of pregnancy related issues, Friday night my water broke. I have been admitted to BAH since and because it’s still way too early, Eugene and ohsu will not take me. That being said, you know what that means as an outcome if baby boy decides it’s time to arrive.

I am here now praying for a miracle, and begging you all to do so as well, as so far it’s working. Those first few hours weren’t looking good… we had a 95% chance that I would deliver and say our goodbyes. Though still not out of the woods, I’m feeling hopeful.

I have been and will continue to be on strict bed rest in hopes my body doesn’t go in to labor. We are really hoping I will be released to home soon and can monitor everything there vs a Covid hospital room (I am past the quarantine guidelines and have had no symptoms for days). - thankfully John has been allowed to be by my side 24/7.

Our ultimate goal is to deliver at 34 weeks…. I strongly believe I can do this and only want to focus on that! But we first need to hit other goals, such as viability to where a nicu will take us… that’s only a week away!

Thank you to the few that have known what’s been going on. All the check ins and words of encouragement have really helped my mental state right now! Appreciate and love all of you!

So now I am begging, please please please say a prayer for our family. We have a long terrifying road ahead of us!

The expenses of being off work, while still trying to parent while on bed rest and fearing that you may go into labor at any time takes a toll! I’m hoping to raise some money to offset some of the expenses related to long time at bed rest and a NICU stay for baby! Please help if you can.
