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!!!
There's a gremlin that comes in late at night and deletes names off my ping list!
I've got you back on it now, and I've set a gremlin trap right here by my keyboard.......................YEEEOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!
Oh, well. Back to one-fingered typing.....
Sometimes us men have got to do what us men have got to do.
This male bonding thing doesn't work in the presence of women.
Well, THAT'S obvious! We were SO amazed that you'd kick that door shut in our faces. Wow!
"Hi Freeper Family.......
As we close out 2003, we in Logan's immediate family want to thank you all for your prayers and your love for Logan. Strangers who became friends, and came to the aid of a little one most of you will only ever know but by pictures and stories that are told.
To Brad's Gramma, there just aren't the words to express our love and gratitude for introducing Logan to Free Republic. And for her visit to finally see this baby that became so much a part of her..... thank you Nanc..... we love you.
To Jim Rob, for his wonderful website in allowing this thread to continue on.....we will be forever grateful.
To TC...the stranger who became a friend and stood beside us in person through all of the dark days and calmed our fears... Who continues to post all of the pictures and make these wonderful "pages" for Logan on his own web space.... Thanks Cowboy. You know how important Uncle TC is to Logan.
To Uncle Tonkin... our "substitute poster" when BG or TC have been unavailable. He has always been ready to help and remembers Logan in the mornings and in the evenings......Logan sends his love to Uncle Tonkin.
There are so many others ...... but to avoid leaving out a name, I'll just include you all...each and every one is so special to us for so many reasons.
I have no idea how many of you have ever gone through this, but without people who care, without never-ending prayers...... this family would have indeed been lost at times. Instead, we knew that the prayer warriors were there.... 24/7.... loving and praying for "our" little Logan.
As this year comes to an end, we too pray for all of you. We pray our prayers of thanks for each and every one of you.....Those who have been there from the beginning, and those who have just become acquainted with Logan. In every family, there is hurt and sorrow, but somehow... being together on this thread has brought happiness and/or comfort to so many. We truly have become one..... one family.... a family who laughs and prays and loves and cares. For some, it has brought faith back into their lives, for others, it has been a refuge from loneliness. But for all, it has shown that one little guy can sow the seeds of love to everyone he touches. And surely now we all must believe in the miracle that God has performed. His name is Logan.
There are some hurdles ahead for Logan. But with the strength of all of you behind Logan, he WILL be fine.
We wish you all health, happiness and safety in 2004. We want Logan to remain a part of your lives, and hopefully to give back some of the joy you brought to him, and continue to do so. We will always welcome your love and prayers. You have given so much to us. Thank you all...... God bless you all.....
