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!!!

I need to get that site updated with more recent information. He is doing well for the last couple of months and it looks like this next year is going to be a good one for him compared to last year which was tough.

Praying for Logan this morning.

The prayer your friend prayed for Nana is awesome. It sent chills throughout me, as often happens when I feel closet to Abba. What a neat prayer to share! I am standing with your friend on her words, her heart and Thanking our Father for His incredible forgiveness and love. Forever and ever and ever.

God Bless and hold tightly little Logan and those who love and are charged with the care of him.

Freepers, this is the morning update from Logan's Nana. I'll post more, as they come in. Along with his family, I want to thank you all for the wonderful support and prayers for this little guy.

I just had a telephone update on the baby and he is somewhat better this morning. He received the transfussion yesterday afternoon and thru the night, he had only 2 of the apnea episodes.... which is a BIG improvement over what he had been doing for the last 3 days. His Mommy will go up this morning when she is permitted to see him... and we'll know more then. I don't know if he's more active, but along with the apnea, they were worried about his body temperature. I don't know if that has been helped either. I'll send out another update later today when I know more. I just wanted everyone to know that he is showing some improvement once again this morning.

Prayers do help! This little infant is testament to that and the care and love he is receiving.

"Thank you" is hardly enough.... our appreciation, our prayer of thanks to all of you and to God for protecting and watching over this precious baby will have to suffice at this time. So.... again, THANK YOU ALL...... and thanks be to God for his miracle named Logan.

I wrote back to Niesy (DeNise) that I felt my faith rising as I read along, agreeing, with her prayer. I tell you, she's one woman who rips the enemy to shreds and exalts the Most High when she prays. I love her fighting spirit! I'm always glad she's there to ask prayers of. She's been a tower for me in times when I've needed prayers myself.

Thanks for the update. Little Logan must be some strong little tyke!

A grandson was born prematurely and with an infection. He was given a 50/50 chance. the nurses told my DIL that he would be a handful somewhere down the line ----and he is! He is almost 3 and is a little hellion!

My prayers continue.
