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!!!

What a happy baby, oops, I mean young man now!

His pictures always brighten my day. Thanks. I always go and look at the first ones when you post new ones, so I can see the miracle over and over and over.

What a beautiful boy! Got his Christmas card and had a wonderful time telling his story to all who asked who that cutie was!

Logan's thread was an inspiration to a lady at work who had a preemie in September. Her little guy, Nicholas, came in at about 1 lb 14 oz. He came home at Christmas weighing a whopping 5 lbs! He didn't have a lot of the problems Logan had, but he did have some. This thread and the prayers on it "spilled over" and helped Nicholas and his parents. Rebecca, his mom, is in her late 30's and this is probably her only chance at having a child. She underwent invitro and Nicholas had a twin that was lost early on in the pregnancy. But Nicholas is a blond cutie! They're weaning him off his oxygen and he has very little reflux.

I love to come to this thread - - it's seeing the goodness of God up close and the prayers breath new life into my sometime hectic day.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM AAAALLLLLLL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!

Hi DB.....

Please tell Mommy Rebecca and my little partner Nicholas "Hi" for me and my family.

Sad his little twin didn't make it, but we like to think that now Nicholas has his very own, very special guardian angel watching over him.

I was Mommy's one and only chance too.... but I was a BIG surprise. And as far as reflux goes, I still have it. But I just puke and go on about my business. Us tough little guys get used to it.


Indeed we give thanks to God from Whom all blessings flow. And I also give thanks to you and all of my freeper framily who have prayed so hard for me.

God bless you BF.

Love and hugs from Texas....

*TT*, Beth & Nana

Wow. What eyes Logan has. Smiling probably from the time they open until sleepy time at night. Thank you so much for the photos. He is growing so nicely and is so darn cute. He just looks like he would make us all laugh. He's doing so well and I LOVE the photo with his daddy with Logan in the red and white striped outfit. How sweet. We're ALWAYS open to Logan photos so...keep 'em coming whenever possible. :)

Hey everyone! I got word of a DARLING little girl via FRmail, a precious child of God's who desperately needs our prayer. Hugh Hewitt (talk radio) interviewed she and her dad today.

From her web page....Welcome to Megan's Home - The place where you can learn all about this wonderful child and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA). Megan was diagnosed with MPA in January 2005. In September 2004 she had been diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) after suffering with painful and stiff joints (ankles, wrists, hands, and back). It was later that we learned that this probably signaled the beginning of the problems with the rare autoimmune disease, MPA.

If you'd all PLEASE stop and say a prayer for Megan, and then go over to her site and leave her parents a prayer and a word of encouragement, I'd sure appreciate it.

Megan's Home

Thanks everyone!!!
