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!!!

What a wonderful fix this is!!! Crawling?!

It wasn't that long ago that we were all praying for breathing, and surgeries, and stuff like that.

May God continue to bless Logan, and a special blessing to Beth and Bud for continuing to share their special bundle of love with us.

As thank you too, TC, for your part of bringing Logan's (and His) sunshine into our lives.

And God bless you, TC! Thanks for serving our country!

And Termite, since you seem to have the ear of the Big Man in the sky, please ask Him to get Nana all well so she can play with you!

The contrast between those two pictures is incredible. The same adult hand is seen in both, as is the baby, but WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Before, Logan could easily be cradled in his mama's hand, now she needs both hands, and a shoulder, to hold him. Praise God for the miracle that He's wrought.

Those chubby little arms are so nice to see after seeing his little arms from before.

This thread needs another BUMP

Hi, Libertina!

A Happy Memorial Day to you, too, sweet!

I see you posted to Logan instead of Termite.
I didn't even know "Logan" was registered!
Cool!

When I was at Beth's house I noticed that she was calling him, "Logie".
I commented on that, and she said it just came about naturally.

"I need you to turn right around and give that baby another kiss today!"

By the way, I'm going to consider that a direct order.

As much as I hate to, I'm going to go back over and give him a kiss for you!
This is a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!

"The "I love my veggies!" picture is laugh-out-loud adorable!"

He's really pretty darn good at hitting his mouth.
It's when he turns the spoon upside down and dumps it that he gets just a liiiitle messy!

God knew the battle Logan was going to have to survive.
He gave him to the most loving and caring mommy and grandmommy that I have ever witnessed.
Logan's whole family dotes on him and loves him without reservation, but his mommy and grandmommy deserve the credit for being God's tools for his survival.
