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!!!

Big prayers going out for our little Termite! Logan, you're so strong and you're doing so well, but you need to keep fighting sweetie! You can do it, I know you can.

Hang in there mom and dad, we're praying for you.

Also prayers for Eli.

Dearest Lord,

Please put Your hands on our little Logan and help him to overcome this ordeal. Please send Your angels to give strength and comfort to Beth, Nana, and TC, as they, too, are helping by their presence to give strength to Logan.

Love,

Donna

UPDATE FROM NANA!

"Beth just called....
Doesn't sound good at all.
The baby's blood gases are in the 100's..... which is not good. She was told that that means he's not processing the carbons out of his system. Now what does that mean? I have no idea.
His little lungs don't look good. They have started him on 2 antibiotics...... pneumonia?.... not sure ;(
They are doing a CRP test for the protein levels.
This takes the 24, 48 & 72 hour period like the CBS does. His CBC level is at 1, with 3 being the worst.
Beth said he opened his eyes ever so slightly, but surely wasn't awake. He did not "come around" as she had hoped. And he just doesn't want to wake up :(
She is going to call again through the night. If there's any change, she will call me...... if not, then I'm going up at 9 in the morning and see what's going on.
`It looks like another long night......... Thanks for being there for Termite TC.........."

Folks, little Logan needs our prayers tonight.

Please, dear God, don't take him away........
I know he'd be so happy in heaven, dear Lord, but we'll love him to bits if you'll leave him with us.
Please, dear God.......

TC, this news is so frightening. We need to pray through the night. Father in heaven, please guide our baby through this night and bring him to the morning light healthy and ready to join his family, in Jesus name, amen.

Heavenly Father, have mercy on our breaking hearts ... be for Logan the very breath that he needs ... cleanse his system from all impurities ... provide just the right combination of medicines and observations and judgments that another miracle might lay hold of this baby. Only You can comfort the family at this frightful time, such is their fear and dread. Father, be merciful to Beth and Bud and Nana and restore to them ... and us ... the joy that is Logan ... this my prayer, and my cry, before the Throne of Grace, in the name of Jesus, Amen ...

Sleep my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will lend thee,
All through the night,
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.

Angels watching ever round thee,
All through the night,
In thy slumbers close surround thee,
All through the night,
They should of all fears disarm thee,
No forebodings should alarm thee,
They will let no peril harm thee,
All through the night.

Rest well and heal, little Logan. We're covering you with prayer, wee one.
