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!!!

I've followed this thread from the beginning and read each update. I've laughed and cried with each one, but most important, I've stopped what I'm doing to pray for Logan and his family.

It's tough to respond sometimes feeling my words are inadequate, but we continue to pray for him, his family and caregivers.

May God continue to bless and heal him.

"Hello TC...would it be OK if I sent this photo via email to family and friends..."

It's perfectly okay with me, cub, and I'm sure his parents won't have any objection to it.
It's on a world wide Web site so it's already exposed.
Please give Louie the credit for putting it together; he did a fantastic job.

Thank you and God bless....

Thanks for the update on Logan. I've lifted this precious little one before the Lord again this morning and will continue to do so. Sweet Jesus please have mercy on this baby, and heal him.

Spunky, your graphic is truly beautiful! Do you mind if I borrow it? I have a daughter who could really benefit from seeing that. Her little girl Peace is among the angels.

"It's tough to respond sometimes feeling my words are inadequate,"

Diver, I always feel my words are inadequate.
We're witnessing the manifestation of God's power, and the amazing gift of love shared by thousands of people.
One mortal can never feel adequate for the circumstances.
Thank you for being here.
Your's is a powerful voice raised to the heavens.

I'll have an update coming shortly.........

Heavenly Father, we cannot comprehend the love You have for the children, but we know the depth of love a Mom and a Dad have for their child ... when there is need, Lord, cover it with Your guidance and the overwhelming love of the parents, that all would be well.

Yaella's son, Eli, is to have an MRI on Monday, Father, and he is fearful of the procedure. Bring to him, and his parents, only those who would help him through this, who would work around his fear of needles in such a way as to diminish his fear. I pray that the spot on his spine would be of no threat whatsoever. Bring comfort and reassurance to Eli's family as they wait ... may they feel Your presence and know that they are surrounded by the prayers of their FReeper family. Thank You for this red-headed boy ... thank You for the love of this Mom ... go before them, Lord, in the name of Jesus, I pray ... may we rejoice in Your mercy ... Amen ...

My friend had a baby at about the same time (25 to 26 weeks). That baby is now 10 years old. She started reading at 4. She's a little artist, a poet, positively brilliant. She's beautiful and she's normal sized. Medicine has progressed a lot in the last 10 years.

My daughter's baby Peace was lost at that same age (26 wks) and her twin Serenity was lost about 12 wks before that. It is such a wonderful miracle to see Logan's progress. He is in good hands.

Still praying for your daughter's new pregnancy. I wonder if Peace can meet my precious sons Noah and Devin. Even though I know heaven is perfect and my sons are free of any pain or worry, I don't want Logan there yet.

I want Logan's mommy to know the sweet smell of her son after a bath in his tub at home and the sound of "I love you" from his lips. I want him to jump in her bed in the mornings and snuggle and hug her with all his might. These earthly joys are too precious to miss.

Please God, heal him.

How can I post an update when I can't see the darn monitor??!

Beautiful picture, Misty! I'm very sorry about your daughter's babies.
They're all so precious; I guess that's why God takes some of them back home.

Thank you, A-team.
You've expressed some of the things I've thought of but didn't know how to say.

Now I'll get this darn smoke out of my eyes and post an update!

Amen to that! I just know that Peace and Serenity and Noah and Devin are watching out after Logan and the others. It's a peaceful feeling knowing that they have a life with God and can help him do his work.

This pregnancy is going very well. She is due in January and has relaxed enough to actually do some shopping for the baby's room yesterday. My husband, who has never built a thing in his life, is committed to making the baby's bed! LOL. Now....trust me.....that's another miracle! :)

Logan is a precious gift. I pray very hard for his recovery but I realize his spirit has touched many lives and God will take care of him. I sure do wish the liberals would understand that these precious lives belong to God and their actions are despicable. I am just sick to think that they have had so much influence.
