If you will, please remember this tiny baby in your prayers. He’s the grandson of a very dear friend of mine. Logan was born on July 25. His due date was in October, making his mommy 26 weeks along, being born 3 months and 3 days early.
Logan was 1 lb 9.4 oz when he was born and is now weighing, as of this morning, 1 lb. 8.3 oz. The little guy is now 12-1/2” long.
He’s a real trooper and is fighting with all his little body can fight with. His Grandma said that he’s starting to recognize his mommy when she comes in the room and hears her voice. She said he tries so hard to open his eyes, and starts kicking his feet.
I asked my friend if there were any specific prayers, other than the obvious…and this is her reply…” A prayer of thanks for the miracle called "Logan.”
On a personal note, I’ve read the emails daily from my friend. I’ve known her for years, I’ve heard her talking about her family for years…but I’ve got to tell you that I’m SO impressed with how her children have all banded together in support. What an incredibly wonderful and loving family.
Father God, we lift up Logan’s little body to you. We pray that you can strengthen him hourly, daily, weekly, until he’s grown enough to go home with his precious family. We ask for guidance for the doctors and nurses who are caring for him. We ask for strength for his parents and extended family. Thank you so much for the gift of life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Fellow Freepers…….I bring you Logan!!!
Oh Geeez, how cute. How darned cute! I cannot get over the personality that shines through on this childs face. He is happy, fun, has that mischievous twinkle in his eye and is loved as evidenced by his face.
Happy Birthday Logan. Two years old. And...I LOVE how cute he looks in his outfit and his little white shoes. No, can't believe this boy and where he has come to.
Can't beat our Lord can ya? Too bad others don't. They are sure missing out on a lot. :) Thanks for the photos they are cool and will be printed out. :)
Logan's getting to be quite a little man! :o)<p. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!
Happy Birthday, dear Logan! And that goes for your little dog, too. How well I remember when that great big doggie stood guard over you in the hospital....now you're taking care of him.
Such a handsome boy, such marvelous photos. Logan, keep sending pictures and good reports. Prayers for you and yours, little guy, may you all do well and thrive.
Oh my! Prayers for Logan's family - that they are able to decide WHICH precious picture of Logan to choose since they're all so perfect and adorable! ;-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, LITTLE TT! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SPECIAL MIRACLE BOY!!
...And a special prayer for strength and comfort and healing to you, El Roy. Hubby and I remember you in our daily prayers and I hope you can feel the blessings we wish for you, as well as for Faith.
I'd say just give up & make WALLPAPER outta the pictures.
That way, no matter WHERE you go....you can say "Aaawwwwwwww". Whatcha think, Nana? ;)
Hey, that's a great idea, BG! Plaster one whole room (I vote kitchen) with his adorable mug!
Personally, I think he's going to become a movie star. (But one of the GOOD ones!) That twinkle just shows up his spirit, doncha think?
Love,
Nana
Only the kitchen? Are you NUTZ?
The WHOLE HOUSE!!!!!! And when they run out of room INSIDE, I say do the OUTSIDE!
One can NEVER have too much of Logan! ;)
Color me NUTZ!
On second thought, I agree! That little sparkly face should be EVERYwhere!
Can't everyone tell we're both GRAMMA'S??
Nope. Har! Not at all! :)
The professional pictures are very very cute!!! It's a nice touch, having the doggie in the pictures. I remember when Logan and the doggie were nearly the same size! < :D
Nana I feel your tired feet as King Vanity has me running about too this summer, a good thang.
Our Dear Logan,
Happy 2nd Birthday lil man,
You are like a home made
Banana Split!
You ROCK Son.

We LOVE YOU Pegita

Kinda
Your referring to the Shrinking Dog right?
I love him too....
TC you are the apple of many eyes.
I am soooo happy You are where you are. God Love ya and your family.
To update my condition, I'll be starting the chemical treatments on August 8.
This is not the standard FDA approved chemical, Interluken II. I looked at this drug and decided I'd rather take my chances with the experimental drugs. They have less side effects and better test results.
The total length of these trials varies, but I'm hoping for less than a year.
I'm not supposed to be as sick with these treatments as with Interluken, but everyone responds differently.
Please hang with me, folks. Our prayers will get me through this.
I appreciate so much what you have done.
God bless you, dear friends.
Glad to hear from you pard!
Call me anytime!
