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!!!

Thanks so much for the GOOD NEWS UPDATE!

[radu]

Thank you for the update on that lil Termite. All kinds of good news!! WOOOHOOO!!

And lots of "aaaaww's" looking at those pics. What a lil doll he is!!!!

Keeping up my prayers that his progress continues by leaps and bounds.

BTTT!!!!

"Is there any work on his eye sight?"

His eyesight is fine, MAP.
That boy can count the eyelashes on a gnat at a hundred yards..........well, almost.

[TexasCowboy]

"That's why it's IMPERATIVE that that other man, what IS his name???? doesn't get in the way!"

I assume you're talking about The-One-Who-Shall-Remain-Nameless.
I demand, yes, demand , that we split up the hug list in equal parts!
Otherwise, you're gonna get a letter from my attorney detailing the penalties for sexual discrimination.

Termite ~ Bump!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Cowboy, Cowboy, Cowboy....you need to get a grip.

I'll let you hold him for .... a bit. You don't need to resort to this ANGER! Tell ya what, I'll give him the prune juice, you can hold him. Beth can clean him up. I'll hold him. You can watch.

How's THAT?

*whispering*

nite, nite lil miracle baby
I was glad to hear you had fun on your 1st swing ride today.
You sure are getting to do a lot of fun things for the 1st time.
Cherish these moments lil one.
Make sure you take your naps, eat your meals and listen to mommy, daddy and Nana.
Smile and laugh a lot!
I'll say some prayers now for All who need God's Special Care.
And for our men and women in the military.
God loves you Logan, and so do we.

*HUG*

"That la la la la la la la (HELP ME! I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING! HELP!!!!)"

Dear BG:
I hate to inform you, but there is no help for your condition. It's called Loganitis. It's incurable.
Unless you can hold Logan in fifteen days or less, you will go permanently insane (or insaner).

I can alleviate your distress temporarily with some pictures, and HERE THEY COME!!

[TexasCowboy]

LOGAN UPDATE:

Our boy just keeps getting bigger and better!
He had a temper tantrum this morning at 2:00 A.M. much to the delight of his mommy (yeah, right!).
I haven't gotten to hear him cry in a long time (seems like years!), but his Nana says he can really let it out when he gets mad!
'Course, when I heard about it, I naturally thought about him as a Drill Instructor in the Corps, and he's got to have a strong voice for that job.
He's just getting ready!

He had his first swing ride yesterday, and he wasn't sure he was going to like that thing.
He calmed down pretty quick, and I predict that is going to be his favorite place to be.

We no longer have to talk about his poop. It's fine....not the poop, but the ability to do so....well, the poop is fine, too, but.......heck, you know what I mean!

He's eating like a little piggy, and having no problems!
Ain't God grand??!

PICTURES!!

YOU GO, TERMITE!!

I'll add an update about Faith, my daughter with MS:

She's on the upturn from the worst attack of MS she's ever endured.
She's now taking a once a month dose of the strongest steroid available for this exacerbation of her disease.
She's out of her dreaded power wheelchair and back to walking with her walker and cane.
You see, a wheelchair to an MS patient is the nightmare they've hoped to avoid. It's the last step before being bedfast.
It means they've lost the ease of mobility, and that equates to a loss of independency. It's very depressing.
With the help of your prayers and a loving God who listened to those prayers, Faith only needed it for a short time.

THANK YOU, GOD!

THANK YOU, FRIENDS!

Prayer warriors, we have many people who need our help.
God loves the callouses on our knees!

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You TexasCowboy,

Good news bump for Logan.

So good to hear the good news regarding Faith.

Offering prayers for All on the prayer list.

[HiJinx]

God Bless and watch over each of the people we've brought to Him...His Love and Mercy are boundless.

I know that startled expression, from the swing! Logan's little FRiend had her first swing experience this morning. I heard about it at lunch-time. It sounds like she, too, will be spending time in the swing...she loves it!

[F.J. Mitchell]

"I've got a pug nose."

Don't sweat it young fella. We all started out that way and then wound up with snozzolas like you wouldn't believe.

[Nitro]

The kid looks exactly like me...

I was a Pyloric Stenosus kid...

I was born 8lb 11oz...

then I started to vomit...

beakfast, mid-morning, lunch, mid-afternoon and dinner.

After two weeks I lost 70% of my birth-weight...

Finally, I was operated on...

the Doc knew what he was doing and the next thing you know...

now, I am 6'4" and very healthy!!

Tip, feed the kid Kelloggs Corn Flakes.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Prayers continue tonight for that darned canula to go by the wayside for Logan ( by Christmas please) , and for Faith to have no need, ever again ,of that darned wheelchair.

I do have a special request to anyone reading. I know some of you have been to the prayer thread for the troops, many of you before I even saw the thread, but if you haven't please stop by and leave a wee bit of a prayer for these folks.

The other night I watched we were soilders once, and I was reminded of a Vietnam vet I met while I was in college. This man explained to me that it wasn't the images of war that disturbed him most and gave him nightmares, it was the fact that he was actualy spat upon the day he arrived home to his country. His story has disturbed me ever since that day. I will never forget that man and his pain, and the fact that it was inflicted upon him by people for whom he risked his life, fighting for their freedom.

I have adopted it as a personal mission to never witness a soldier being disrespected like that again. Please help me counter the negative stories in the media by leaving a positive word for these brave men and women , if you haven't already.

The prayer warriors I have seen on this thread, leave such uplifing, inspirational messages. I know there is alot of praying going on around here .. Thanks for this moment to vent on Logan's time, can you tell it is really buugin' me lately? :}
