I made it born almost three months early. Luckily, he has the most modern of medicine.

What a great post. You got me crying here, not fair!
Merry Christmas and happy birthday to this wee one.
A 24 week abortion is a child, not a choice.
Baby loving bump.
Glad you made it Dan,and thanks for a happy post for the Christmas season.
A remarkable story.
Although little Jordan has many problems that Logan hasn't had, he has that same fighting spirit and that same temper!
God bless this little one, and may God hold him and protect him.
I came in at 4 lbs and a foot long myself, DFM. To make matters worse, there were no available incubators in the tiny medical facility. I hear it was a bit of a trial for my folks, as I'm sure it was for yours. But, hey.....I guess we were both just ornery enough to make it!
Want to chime in on this one PING???
Dec 23, 1980 my son was born only 7 weeks early but 3 lbs 8 oz.
now 6'2" 250#.
I'd have had 3 more brothers had the technology been available when they were born.
My poor mother held them till they died. They would have been born in the late 30's, early 40's. Penicillin was a big deal back then .
My oldest daughter was born 3 months early, a mere 1 pound 12 ounces. She is now a perfectly normal 5 year-old. She goes to kindergarten and she has no health problems.
Nice article Dan, thnx!
Kinda makes me wonder, though, when scientists finally are able to do the complete gestation process without a womb. What will the baby murderers say then?
Here's what I see: Outlaw third trimester abortions, severely limit second trimesters, and loosen the adoption laws so that pregnant women of all stripes can contract with adoptive parents to birth live babies. There is no reason in the world why we have to go to Russia to find adoptable babies.
If even one baby is not aborted as a result of this, Jordan's trauma will be momentary in light of eternity.

Hi All...
Nana here writing for Logan.
Tears are streaming down my face as I recall our fears with Logan, and the happiness we now are able to share with the world.
Bless this little one and may God keep him safe and in continued good health.
It's so true that without that fighting spirit, they wouldn't make it. But perhaps the most important part of Logan's accomplishments came from love. The love of God, the love of all who pray and care about him on a daily basis, and the love that this child has for the world.
Truly, this will be Logan's first "aware" Christmas and I can tell you all that his eyes light up like the lights on his Christmas tree when he begins every day. Christmas in Logan's house is each day of the year.
God bless ... and prayers for our new little friend Jordan.
Dee aka Logan's Nana
