If you will, please remember this tiny baby in your prayers. Hes 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.
Hes a real trooper and is fighting with all his little body can fight with. His Grandma said that hes 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, Ive read the emails daily from my friend. Ive known her for years, Ive heard her talking about her family for years but Ive got to tell you that Im SO impressed with how her children have all banded together in support. What an incredibly wonderful and loving family.
Father God, we lift up Logans little body to you. We pray that you can strengthen him hourly, daily, weekly, until hes 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!!!
(that's Cowboy's FAVORITE SONG...he told me)"
Certainly not trying to start an interservice rivalry here, but it's pretty self explanatory that the swab jockeys have to sing about an anchor and the dog faces have to sing about an ammunition box rolling along.
I mean, the poor guys just don't have much of a life!
Well 3 will get you 10 that only 1 in 10 Marines under three years TIS can tell me where the halls of Tripoli are...... now about that lunch you owe me.
(Or in Montezuma, for that matter!)
Okay!
I'm off the rest of the week.
Name your poison and the place and time.
I'm working on that, tiki!
Gotta get a place to keep his horse first!
BTW, I love your screen name. The first time I saw it I thought, "I'll bet she's a really great mom because she chose that name."
Good luck, TC. (grin)
Oh yes, very very true.
I chose my 'handle' cause it's what I love to do best. :-)
It's so good to 'hear'. I figured he was in good hands.
He had his 8 month birthday on the 25th of this month, and all systems are go!
PICTURES!!
I wish I could take credit for that!
This is his mommy's and Nana's doing!
He loves those little holes he can crawl into!
