Prayer Request for A Tiny Baby (Update in post #12850)

Myself | 8-11-03 | Brad's Gramma

[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!!!

"did The Tiny Critter ride in on that cycle?!"

No, I think that's his mommy's bike.
The Termite has a Harley.

"THANK YOU, GOD!"

AMEN

[Brad’s Gramma]

Varoooom
Varoooom
Varoooom!

Me and The Termite, ridin' down the road. Varoooooooooom!

[Texas Termite]

Aunti N... do you have a license???? And helmets? Nana is very particular about who I ride with and in/on what. I wanna ride in the back of Uncle TC's big black truck, but Nana says I'll have to sit in my "bucket" and hold on tight!

Texas Termite has many heroes, and among them is his beloved Uncle Tonk.
We lift you up in our prayers, dear Tonk, and love you for what you are and all you do.

It took a special person to 'give' again in this day, as well as during Nam.
The role you lovingly assumed since 9/11 is an arduous, dangerous and complex one, serving with the Coast Guard there in Oregon.

God bless you richly, Coastie . . . {{{{{ Tonk }}}}}

[Brad’s Gramma]

You didn't know it but you had people around the world praying and pulling for you. People in places that don't have internet or even electricity were told about you and asked to pray.

Isn't that something? Little did I know when I started this thread, that it would grow to the size it has, and reach the amount of people it has. We're all eternally grateful to each of you for the prayers, for the comments, for the FUN...

Oh, and Bears ROCK! Especially Snuggles. Hehe

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Dear TC, your little Logan sure is bringing a lot of strangers joy. Thank you for sharing your precious gift with us.

I hope you save every thread, picture, teddy bear insult and prayer to share with him some day. To know that one's parents reached out to bring a gigantic family together to pray for HIM and love him...what an awesome gift!

[Brad’s Gramma]

You can COUNT on my prayers for your Mom. Like TC said, we can all attest to the power of prayer here on this thread.

THANKS for asking us!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Please see #5806 and add STARWISE's mom to the prayer list.

Purty please?

[Texas Termite]

We agree Uncle Tonkin! We're proud of you and appreciate all you do. Daily, you strive to keep us all safe and from harm. God bless you and all others who serve ... whether it be our service men and women, fireman, police, and of course.. you beloved Coast Guard. And God bless our President!!

Thank you ...

*TT*

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'd NEVER take you off the ping list...it would NEVER HAPPEN. You're on the list for life, whether you want to be or not! HA!


I'm gonna TRY to hold Logan. Someone, Who Shall Remain Unnamed, thinks HE'S going to be doing all of the holding.

Sigh.
VERY VERY BIG sigh.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thank You LadyX
I appreciate your words, more than you may know.
Bur rest assured I am no hero.

[Texas Termite]

Mommy, Nana and I will pray for your mom... and for you.

May God's blessing of healing and mercy be shown to her.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Don't worry. Me and the Big Guns are going to find out ALL ABOUT the situation with the doggie. I'll report back in. Code word="arf".

I think I need to start counting the HOURS till I leave. WHOO HOOOOOOOO

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Bur (Bur?) rest assured I am no hero."

And no spelling champ either! LOL

[Brad’s Gramma]

Gramma; you are going to be in heaven, holding that beautiful baby.

You know how we all occasionally get that goofy Logan Grin? I've got it now...just thinking of pushing TC off the chair and out of the house so I get a turn holding LOGAN!!!!

[TexasCowboy]

FOR GOD'S GLORY!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh Sweetie, of COURSE I have a license. And I've never even been in trouble with the law, so don't you worry.

We can stick TC on the back of the Harley, and he can hold you in your car seat and act as your seat belt. Do you think your Mommy would say that was OK?

Helmets? We don't need helmets. We're going to go SO FAST we won't have TIME to fall off. Don't you worry about a thing.

Thanks for the pictures!
