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!!!

A HAPPY CHANUKA TO YOU, TOO, SIMCHA!

MAY THE LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB AND ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL SHOWER YOU WITH HIS ABUNDANT BLESSINGS LIKE MANNA FROM HEAVEN!

Sadly, I won't be able to get you a silver hard hat.
The PC crowd won't let us wear metal hard hats anymore.
OY VEY!!

Good night, Sweetie! Oh! Did your Nana tell you that I talked to Bear tonight and she tried to EAT THE PHONE? Guess that means she misses me, huh?

You have a great night's sleep tonight. Dream sweet baby dreams. We're all praying for you!!

Oh, Brad mailed you something tonight. Keep an eye on the mail, will ya?

I love you, Pumpkin...a WHOLE LOT!

Hi Termite! Are you getting ready for Santa? You know that you need to sleep ALL NIGHT LONG tomorrow night, don't you? I'm assuming Uncle G has had a looooong talk with you about that guy in red.

I'll talk to you later! Love you!!!

UPDATE FROM NANA!

"Hi everybody.....
Just a quick note to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. May it be filled with joy and peace for all.
Logan is doing fine as of right now. He has again picked up a little weight after not gaining any last week because of throwing up so much. He still has reflux and finally after changing formulas and being put back on his medicine, he's been able to hold his milk down without any problems for 2 days! That's a milestone for him. He was really having problems with it. As of yesterday morning, he weighs 10 lbs. 1 oz. Hard to believe, isn't it?
He won't go back to the pulmonary doctor until January, so he'll be on oxygen through the holidays, but that's ok. It's what he needs and he's still young. In researching this, I've found that most of these babies stay on it for at least 6 to 7 months. So he may have a while to go yet.
Logan IS the present of a lifetime for our family. No other gift in the world could compare to the joy that this infant brings to our family. Christmas Day, he will finally get to meet his 3 little girl cousins who have been patiently waiting to get to see him. It will be a happy day indeed! All four of my precious grandchildren together at long last.
From our family to yours, we wish you love, health and happiness. We thank God for all of you and pray for a wonderful year ahead for all.
As we all celebrate with our families, please remember our service men and women who are stationed all over the world in your prayers... and their loved ones.
Nana"

Merry Christmas to All, and too all a Wonderful Slumber.

Hey, Termite, remember to get your sleep tonight and tomorrow night. Thursday is Jesus Birthday, and he's the reason for the season. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Soft kisses for you. 'Nite, sleepyhead!
