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 share your concerns. "The Boy", who just turned six, suffered a traumatic birth - albeit nowhere NEAR what you've seen.
Analogously speaking, I'm in the ballpark watching the game, but I'm up in the nosebleed seats and not in the dugout.
Keep reading the posts - you will draw untold strength from your FRiends.
Here you can see the miracle unfold!
God bless you.......
Won't be long, Gramma of Brad, before you wing your way to see Our Boy...
Observing the heated um.. ongoing 'discussions' between You and You-Know-Who, do not forget you have a distinct advantage, BG.
Babies hone in on soft, tender voices crooning to them, and he'll love it when you hold him and deliver a sweet, sweet song.
By contrast, imagine the voice a 'Certain Cowboy' must have, used to bellowing instructions from atop his gas rigs!!
Oh, up until now he has probably managed a quieter, softer tone talking to and with Logan, and a song or two - - but engaged in competition with you, will he perhaps revert to WELL MAN??!!
You betcha, and YOU WILL WIN UNLIMITED TIME with Logan!
(never underestimate the power of a determined woman...)
There's more power on this thread than the human mind can conceive.
So many good people have come forth to cry with us and pray with us since this thread started, and so many more that we nothing about.
We're all no more and no less than a servant of God asking for His love and grace.
He has answered our prayers.
Oh TC, I'm sorry that the girls on this thread have ganged up on you and are planning on kidnapping you so Logan and I can spend lots and lots of quality time together really looking forward to this trip!
Logan likes rough, manly voices!
We sing the Marine Corps Hymn as a duet!
(He also likes the Longhorn fight song, but we won't go there, Nana)
I'm not a push-over, but I can be kidnapped..........after I see Logan.
Yes, we do, Valin.
M0sby, do we have this precious little boy on our prayer list?
