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!!!

Thanks so much for the update, new year prayers and wishes, and darling pictures of Logan. One of the highlights of 2003, for me, was coming to FR and "meeting" the wonderful people here, and especially on Logan's thread.
I may never meet any of you face to face this side of heaven, but there is tremendous joy and satisfaction in seeing the glimpses of character and personality shown in your posts here. Texas Cowboy, you're everything good I ever thought a real Texas cowboy ought to be...strong, handsome with a heart of gold :)...God bless you for being here and sharing the way you do. Brad's Gramma, Nana, Beth, Uncle Tonkin, and all of you Prayer Warriors, remind me how blessed we are in America because this country is made up - for the most part - with people like each of you. We aren't perfect, but we look to the One who is perfect for guidance. Many thanks to Mr. Robinson for FR and God bless him in this new year. That is my prayer for each of you here too...that God richly bless you and yours with health, safety, and spiritual blessings to know and serve Him better.

LOL If he gives anyone a strage look who dare talk goo goo he is probably thinking "what the heck is wrong with this guy/gal?"

"His eyes say it all!"

You can just now see in his eyes in the pictures what I saw in them the first time I held him.
His eyes glow with an inner fire of intelligence waaaaay beyond his age!

I hope y'all don't mind getting pinged to only four pictures, but these were too precious to wait:

LOGAN'S HAPPY NEW YEAR PARTY!

Folks, our boy is going back to the doctor lady on Monday.
The hydrocele in his scrotum is much worse.
Nana says that one side is the size of a golf ball.
He may need a surgery to correct this.
This will mean a general anesthesia, and you remember what happened the last time when he had his hernia surgery.
We almost lost him.
Seems like he climbs one hill and has another one facing him.

Logan needs our prayers, friends.
Please join me in asking God for His mercy and love for our little man.

Mind???...you gotta be kidding! I always look forward to the picture pings of little Logan...these are indeed precious. My earnest, heartfelt prayers will be continuously before the throne of grace for his family, his doctors, et al, and on behalf of our little FReeper Logan that all go well for him. May God's grace, mercy, love and providence surround him.
