Prayer Request for A Tiny Baby (Update in post #12850)
Myself | 8-11-03 | Brad's Gramma

Posted on 08/11/2003 12:57:30 PM PDT by 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!!!

Goodnight, Sweetie. Sleep well and dream goofy little boy dreams! Didja know that in TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT I'm going to be in Texas? And the next day, you and I are gonna PARTY ON!

Make sure you sneak in all of that junk food and sodas and hide them under the bed or somethin', OK? Don't forget about The Plan to get them out of the house so you and the doggie and I can party hardy.

Love you, Termite....real much. I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless you, Little One.

Father God, THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving us Logan. Thank you SO MUCH for healing his little body. You love us so much more than we deserve. I love you, Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Love you Sweetie. You sleep well tonight, OK? No more of those all-nighters!!! Your Mommy needs sleep too!

I just saw your post, Tejas!

Of course we'll pray for Judd!
The Good Lord takes care of hypertension just like He does preemie babies.
He gives the peace that passeth understanding.

I'm very happy for Sara Grace!
Another miracle!
Thank you, dear Lord!

You too, dear Freeper....have you read the whole thread? Or is this your first time here?

I'm asking all the newcomers to take the time, bit by bit, to read this. God's been moving not only in Logan's life, but all of ours.

Bless you, for stopping by and offering your prayers.

This is a prayer in the night for Shandon's beloved Ryan.

Hear me, Father. I am not worthy of any regard from You. I am a sinner, I am unkind, but still You tell me to pray.

Father, You are God. I have no hope, no expectation, except that You told me to pray for this little boy. I call You, Father, just as You told me to do.

You are God. I believe in You. Heal him, please, for it is in Your power to do so - and You told me to ask, believing. I ask You now...

I love You. In Jesus name...

THANKS TONS.

LANELLE GREATLY APPRECIATES ALL SUCH AND THANKS EACH ONE.

You may or may not be aware, Ben never regained consciousness in the hospital and went to be with The Lord within 3-4 days.

Sadly, the church has been less than . . . well . . . even Christian, to my mind. Lanelle seems to be coping well and getting things slowly in order.

Thanks much for your prayers and caring.

Blessings to each of your loved ones and all your close relationships and dialogues.

"Ben never regained consciousness in the hospital"

Quix, I'm very sorry.
I'm at work and I miss a lot. I hadn't read that Ben had gone Home.
May the Good Lord hold him in His precious arms.

Lanelle will continue to be in my prayers.

God bless you.

MUCH APPRECIATED AND CERTAINLY SO BY LANELLE. SHE EXPRESSES HER DEEP THANKS FOR ALL SUCH.

She says their time together was well worth it.

She had not anticipated ever marrying again. But she ran with what was offered and they had incredible happiness and productivity together in the time they had.

I'm just thrilled she can say it was all worth it. She's quite a trooper in her own right. She has reached out extensively to people hurting on the net and otherwise.

She, also, is quite a 'bird of rare plumage' but accepts her identity and the roles she and God carve out for her in her years remaining--she accepts all that with uncommon grace and peace, to my observation.

SHE GREATLY APPRECIATES the prayers and caring hereon. It's just not her interest or style to do the FR thing. Have tried to interest her many times before. She feels much more led to reach out to people on a few selected Christian web groups. And, she ministers a LOT of caring and listening thereon. She's also quite a prayer warrior in her own right.

Your prayers for her contribute significantly to The Kingdom.

Thanks tons.

I am so thrilled to hear about Logan's continued progress. He has overcome so many hurdles. I see the latest pictures you posted and see a happy and healthy-looking little bundle. Although he still has a ways to go, I know he will grow and thrive because he has so many of us sending our love and best wishes.
This Christmas is going to an extra special event in Logan's home. I wish I could be there to see the joy and love he brings to his Mommy's and Daddy's hearts and to all those close to him. I will have to be satisfied with the pictures. But, just to know the little sprout is growing and getting stronger is enough to make me happy.
Love and kisses to little Logan and my best regards to you for keeping me in the loop.

have you read the whole thread? Or is this your first time here?

No, it is not the frst time here and I have read the whole thread. I've been around here, and posting too, not a newbie. Thanks for the Blessing in your post. My heart and prayers go out to God's precious gift " Logan " and all the family. The might power of prayer in Jesus name is awesome. After all, He is still in the business of performing miracles. :)
