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!!!

Absolutely gorgeous photos!!!! Loved seeing Logan in CA! He has such an infectious smile. I believe there is something very special about him and will always be.

Was he allowed to see TC? I am sure that must have lifted TC's spirits.

Thank you all so much for sharing your visit.

I'll pray for Logan.
July 25th is an auspicious day for premies. I was born on 7/25/77 after only 30 weeks. Despite many initial difficulties I survived. (I seem to have done too good a job of putting on weight since then!)
Neonatal care is much better today than it was 28 years ago.

How developed are Logan's eyes? Does he respond to gentle touch? Is he gaining weight?

Oh! The photos of TC and TT together bring tears to my eyes! I am glad to see TC's smile (how could one not smile when holding Logan?!), but sad to see how he needs fattening up! Wish I could lend him a thigh or two...

Did you ask to see Oliver?? He is doing well, had his first haircut this week, is turning 2 1/2 this week too, and is in speech therapy. He finally said two words together for the first time. Logan looks about his size now! He is teething his last tooth, and is often found acting... like a two-year-old!! LOL. A couple of tantrums have been had!

Yes, he made that necklace.

His first haircut!

Next time Nana and the gang come to CA, he would love to play with Logan!

Check out post 11,398! Logan is 2 now, and in great shape! He is FR's favorite miracle preemie, who is doing so wonderfully and has captured everyone's heart!! You will be thrilled to see the change if you only now saw his pitiful first photos. Check out those baby blues!!

Thank you all, SO MUCH for praying for this boy. God bless each of you and your families. Jim...without YOU, this wouldn't have happened, either.& God has used YOU in a mighty way. You and this online family called Free Republic.

Yes, we've had the great joy of being prayer partners here for two miracle-filled years. The joy has not been without its tears, to be sure, for "we rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep."

BG, I always pray with thanksgiving when I receive your posts, pings, and updates, and I thank you for including me in this ministry to the saints.

(BTW, I just love the whiskers on JimRob!)
