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!!!
No. You don't "hate" to inform me of anything. You meant to gloat.
Well you just wait, Mister, you just wait. Me and The Boy have things planned...oh yeah, BIG stuff planned.
Thank you for your prayers, dear lady.
My daughter is so precious to me it defies description.
If you think my tongue is sticking out......you're right!
We talked about many things, and I learned a lot....mainly, that he was hungry!
The boy likes to eat, and he gets waaaaay upset when his bottle isn't ready when he wakes up from his nap!
His Nana said that he had a big butt burp while he was talking to me.
LOL!
YES! We talked about your visit, and he decided that there should be equal holding time for each of us.
You are SUCH a liar.
ROTFLOL
Let us know how things are going, periodically, if you'd like.
Should've commented on this, too. I can't thank you enough for that. And I mean it.
Logan had his evaluation yesterday by a team of doctors to check his progress.
Of course, we all knew he was progressing fine, but he had to prove it to the doctors.
They checked his ability to recognize Beth's voice from the next room and his motor skills.
He's been recognizing her voice since the first day in NICU!
He's been pulling his canula out for weeks now, so we knew he had good motor skills!
The only thing the doctors recommended differently than what Beth has been doing was to lay him on his stomach more often to strengthen his back.
The doctors were very pleased with his progress.
We're shooting for a target date of Christmas to get that canula out for good!
What a wonderful Christmas present for our Termite!
Dear Lord, please make it happen!
And now:
PICTURES!
YOU GO, TERMITE!!
Folks, for the last several weeks some of us have been discussing the miracles we've seen take place on this thread and on others where God's power is sought with fervent prayers for our sick loved ones.
He has shown us over and over that He is there to heal if we ask, and we thank God for His blessings.
At the same time, it's difficult to keep track of those who need the prayer warriors to petition God on their behalf.
For this reason, M0sby has graciously accepted the duty of starting a brand new prayer thread for our sick children and loved ones.
This thread will run continuously, and it will serve as a place to come when your hearts are heavy with grief over a sickness with your children or your loved ones.
We ask that all of the prayer warriors who have stood by Logan in his many peaks and valleys please join us to utilize this power of prayer for all the ones in need.
Logan opened the doors of our hearts to God's miracles.
This will be an extension of the Logan miracle.
God bless you all for being here and being a part of this miracle's life.
Miracles DO happen!
Please join us in a new thread devoted to prayers for those in need.
