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!!!

COWBOY!!! You're looking mighty proud there with that boy! I'll bet it felt SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD to hold him again! He sure is changing, isn't he? I was there only a little over a month (?) ago and he's changed since then.

Tonkin, thanks for pinch-hittin' for TC!!

Gretchen, I checked, and you're still on my list. I don't know what's happening!!! But you ARE on my ping list.

Everyone!!! TC is driving to California tomorrow. Would you all pray for a fun and safe trip for him??? Thanks MUCH!

Well, I haven't been pinging too much since TC has the pictures under lock and key and is SO selfish with them that it's pathetic to watch a grown man act this way! "job"....so I'm not sure about the others. :-)

Thank you for Rainbow Bridge. I don't want to go to any alleged heaven that does not admit pets.

My Keeshond is probably over 12.....not sure exactly how old KeeshaSue is, but I got her as an adult 10 years ago at the SanFrancisco pound. Such a gorgeous creature, I couldn't believe my eyes! "What are YOU doing here?" I asked, and adopted her right away. We have had a wonderful decade together, I'll be devastated when she goes. She's still in radiant good health however.

Good job with the photos!

But how did I fall off the ping list?

Logan is looking terrifically healthy and content. Thank God for that and more prayers for his continuing growth and health.
