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!!!
:)
Per Nana, he's facinated how little she is and he just gently pets her head. Now, does THIS bring back all sorts of emotions or what?
Next thing we know, he’ll be going to his Senior Prom!
Or not. No. NO! Let’s let him graduate from.......elementary school first. ;)
I remember when Logan was a tiny one, and seeing how gorgeous he is now, well... it's just amazing.
OK.. now what’s the x2 in your signature? Is that for the little one that’s on the way?
I just looked at his first picture and he has come such
a very long way in his little life. I would love to give
him a hug...so I’ll let you do it for me!
((((((((((((((((Logan))))))))))))))))
So precious !! What a lover Logan is .. so sweet.
God bless him and his new ‘sis.’
Yep! That is the truth!
How precious! Thank you for the picture!
Good stuff, huh?
:)
(((((God Bless Logan and Emelia)))))
That'll teach me to stay away too long!
What a dear Logan is! It's so funny that he's fascinated by how small the new baby is. She's probably 3x the size he was. You just can't imagine anything that tiny until you see it though.
God bless. Glad to hear things seem to be going well for our boy.
HUGE grin here!!!
What love and pride of being her big “brother” in that precious face...I can’t imagine a better big “brother” than Logan. Emelia is a little doll. Prayers continue for her and her protective big “brother”.
BTTT
What a joy this is to see our Logan who was in such dire straits himself now big enough and strong enough to be holding his “little sister.” Things happen to people for a reason. Miracles also happen to people for a reason. Logan was all our miracle and now here he is as the “big guy” holding and protecting this tiny baby. Very overwhelming.
You said it well...
:) That little boy never ceases to amaze me and I will never forget him ever. He is a gift. :)
Nana and I would have to beat the tar outta you if you did! :) :) :)
