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!!!

Good morning, Valin!

That's where I've got an advantage over most people.
In the oilfield we work seven days a week so I don't dread Mondays.
LOL!

I LOVE your tag line!

Poor Logan's mom -- nuttin' but a black square for a face.... No wonder we never got to see it before.

That's one filled-out boy, and cute as a bug. Thanks, TC.

"I wonder how long this thread is going to go on?"

I figure a good stopping point will be when Logan has his first child.............or maybe his first grandchild.

Yeah, I feel so sorry for her.
She must have a terrible time putting on make-up.

Seriously, her face is about as far from a black blob as it can get.
She is one beautiful lady.......in every way.
I'm not taking anything away from Bud, but Logan got his looks from his mom!

"I love the pic of you exercising those lungs followed by the BIG EYED got my Binky pic."

Hi, OP!

The Termite goes to the lung doctor today.
Let's pray for some improvement in those little lungs.

"I'm goin' to LoganLand!!! "

All kiddin' aside, Auntie N, I'm going to be very happy to see you.

I'm a grandpa many times over so I know the joy of holding these little ones, but you've got a special treat coming.
There's something about this boy that is special, and I can't describe it.
You'll feel it when you have him in your arms and look into those eyes.
They penetrate to your soul.
Yeah, I'll have a box of Kleenex handy. You're gonna need 'em.

Hi, NMGA!

As soon as the Termite gets back from the doctor man I'll have an update to post.

Faith has withstood the most severe MS attack she's ever had.
It really knocked her down, but she's back up walking with her walker and cane.
I thank everyone for their prayers. They worked!

This is truly a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you God for Logan. He is a miracle for sure. AS I said once before we will toast Baby Logan at our Thanksgiving table. :)
