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!!!
Hi there! :)
Where the heck are you?
That’s a very good question! Brad’s Gramma, where are you?
I saved a copy of TC’s web page with Logan’s baby pictures, and put it on my web server, here:

I think it is the most moving thing I’ve ever seen on the web.
Sorry, my little web server is connected to the Internet via slow cablemodem, and that web page is huge (it has 1431 baby pictures on it!), so it loads slowly. Please be patient.
Loved looking through your collection of TTermite photos. My gosh how the time goes! Must admit to a bit of a heart jerk seeing TC holding TT. Very touching. Bless their hearts.
Hoping this year brings you much joy and peace of heart.
Nana here.... Just decided to visit FR, the fist time in a couple of years. Sometimes I come to FR and read the Canteen and some other threads just to remember all of the wonderful people who are here.
Logan is doing great! He turns 13 on the 25th of this month, is entering the 7th grade and has remained a pure joy for all of us. He knows his story, has seen the thousands of pictures and pages and pages of prayers I printed for him and his mom put into spiral binders for him. He realizes how everyone prayed for him and the love that surrounded him and our family.
I pray this finds old friends doing well and it does my heart good to see Jim Rob still fighting the fight.
Blessings to all..........
Nana! So good to ‘hear’ from you and thank you so much for the update. My goodness how time flies. 13 years old on the 25th!! You have no idea of how your post makes me smile. I came to FR looking for some good news...which you provided in abundance. Hugs to our now not so little friend and of course you too.
I’ve pinged JR for his viewing pleasure and Kathy in Alaska because she is such a key player in keeping folks in the loop.
Love you all
Logan must be 16 and driving by now!
Logan, if you see this, please drive carefully, sir!
.
Sorry.
Carry on
Five weeks from today will be Logan’s 18th birthday!
Happy birthday, Logan!!
