Prayer Request for A Tiny Baby (Update in post #12850)

Myself | 8-11-03 | Brad's Gramma

[Brad’s Gramma]

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!!!

Shalom!

BG, Logan's Grandma, Freepers, Logan(Texas Termite)-

It's about 12:45 A.M. on 9/11. WOW what a crazy 2 years! I can't beleive that 2 years ago we had such a tragedy. I am getting ready to go to bed and say my prayers. I pray tonight that tomorrow and from now on we will not experience any more attacks. I pray that our babies will live in a safer place thanks to a President that has not forgotten who attacked us nor been side tracked by other's agendas. I pray for the men and women that protect us tonight. I pray for the men and women that realize that freedom is not free. I pray for the men and women that protect that freedom for the babies like baby Logan and Sara Grace. God please take care of the soldiers that have defended our freedom in the past.
God please keep us safe tomorrow and protect the country that is still ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Logan God smiles on you. Lord God please continue to protect our little angel.

Goodnight my little man. Sleep tight.

Queez..

Hi, Gramma,

I haven't checked in lately but have been reading your updates. Each time, I have flashbacks of the same things my angel went through. It's good that they test for ROP. He probably will go to special opthamologists a few months after he is discharged from the hospital to get tested again to make sure everything is okay. Whatever you do, don't look when they put those things in his eyes to test. That was one of the things I couldn't stand. lol (Yes, I still held her and watched though.)

I am glad to see he is progressing well. Regards to the family. Tell them to get as much sleep as they can now. If they are the parents I think they are, they will be worried even though everything is okay and won't want to sleep when he is at home. Of course, the sound of a monitor if it goes off won't help either.

Thanks B.G. continuing thoughts and prayers.

God bless America...... one nation, UNDER GOD... and that says it all ;)"

with a 'prayer' bump for Baby Logan and Sara Grace. What beautiful pictures; beautiful Life! Amazing.

[wgeorge2001]

I thank and praise the Lord Jesus Christ for the little soul named Logan; may the Lord heal his little body.

[Shandon Belle]

Thanks for prayers for Ryan...please continue. He still needs them. We're so lucky and grateful to still have him. He has good days and bad. Dr.'s are blaming each other for his stroke. However, we're more concerned about getting him back to where he was before the stroke. He's going to speech therapy,occup.therapy, and p.t. 4 days a week. He's just started on medicine for the right sided weakness (pains in his rt. foot when walking). Dr.s were hoping it would clear up..but it hasn't yet. We are still praying it will eventually.

I know how BG feels watching Logan. It's so wonderful to see any progress. And thank you again for asking about Ryan.

[cowgirlcutie]

I'm so glad to hear of Logan's continued improvement. I'll continue to keep him in my prayers. God Bless.

Shalom & Blessings!

Logan's Friday morning update

Hi everyone....

Well we can't call Logan a "termite" anymore. The little stink now weighs 3 lbs. 7.8 oz and he's 14 1/2" long. The boy is growing by leaps and bounds!!!

He had a pretty good night last night, although he did have one episode where they had to assist him. They did finally suction him and once his nasal passage was cleared out, it seemed to help him. Due to the canula, and whatever else, the membranes in his nose become dry and accumulates where it stops up and hinders some of his breathing. I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly, but anyway, it takes the suctioning to get it cleaned out and to help him.

His Mommy said that while she was holding him last evening, she heard this little noise out of him when he was smiling..... the nurse told her he was mimicing her and was laughing!!! Yep...... the little guy was actually laughing :) Says a lot about the influence of his mommy and portraying it to this tiny infant! Ain't love grand???!!???

Logan is taking on his own very special look. He looks like "Logan". And he definitely has his personality developing. He's a happy little guy that a smile comes easily to. I know I keep saying this, but God has blessed us with this baby. We thank Him so.

Logan was given some formula mixed with his mommy's milk last evening. It seems the supplier can't keep up with the demander! It's so wonderful that my daughter has been able to pump her milk for him and that he is receiving the antibiodies to help keep him healthy through her mother's milk. Of course, there is nothing she wouldn't do to insure the safety and health of this baby.

On a special note... our thanks to God and those who are responsible for keeping us all safe... that yesterday went without any big incidents of terror. Those who condem and disagree with what's being done have a right to their opinion.... but folks... make no mistake... it's by the Grace of God, our troops and public servants such as fire and police, and the leadership of our country that we have come as far as we have with the war against terrorism. May God grant His wisdom to those who lead, to continue to dispel these terrible deeds that may be planned against all free people of the world.

Thank you all for your love and prayers and caring for our little love one.

.... God bless you all.

Sara Grace Needs Our Prayers, Too

BG here....folks, I'm going to ask you to include in your prayers for our Freeper babies, a post on this thread by Shandon Belle. I pray I'm not overstepping my boundaries by doing this as I've not had permission, but here goes...this is from one of her prior posts...I think of the song "Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world by Israel Komak (not complete last name it's something like Komakowiksi? My 3 1/2 yr old grandson had a stroke in July and this is his favorite song. When I held him in my arms and listened to him sing "what a wonderful world", I truly realized , what a wonderful world!

Her little guy could use some prayer too, have at it Freepers...

[E.G.C.]

Thanks B.G. Continued thoughts nad prayers.

IIRC, newborns don't know how to breathe through their mouths -- 'bout the only time they do it is when they're crying. (That was the case for my kids, anyway. My youngest got a cold at ~2mos, and we were all miserable....)

Dear Logan
Sweet Sara Grace
Precious Ryan

[PoisedWoman]

Logan is turning into a quarterback before our eyes! Such good, wonderful, terrific news. I continue to keep him and lovely Sara Grace in my prayers. And now the other little boy. What's his name? And how could he have a stroke at 3-1/2? May God bless and keep all of these little ones safe and health.

[Brad’s Gramma]

His name is Ryan. And thanks for the prayers.

[Maigrey]

Quick stop in, but you need something Logan

Keep inspiring us, Logan. Keep smilin', laughin' and lovin'.
