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!!!
LOL! Love the last shot, where he's smiling- what a cutie!
Logan's come SO far. Never fails to amaze me.
We are so blessed through you and Free Republic to be able to see Logan develop and grow. He is so cute and a precious gift from God not only to his parents and all his family but to all the Freepers. We feel like he is ours too and we all love him very much. We can NEVER have enough photos of him. :)
I know the feeling.
I'll bet there's hundreds of people who would say the same thing.
My part is bitter sweet.
I enjoy so much being able to bring you Logan in words and pictures, but I hurt for y'all because you can't feel him.
I don't mean just feel his body pressed up against you, I mean feel the love energy he gives out.
We're all givers and takers. We give to people who lack what our inner self gives out, and we absorb from people who have more than we do.
This is not a conscious sharing. It just happens.
Logan never takes. He is giving all the time.
I've always thought this was God working through Logan to give His love to all who will accept.
Now, I've got to go to work.
I'll check in when I can.
May God bless everyone.

On an earliar post I asked for some Texas Sun/heat.
Uh we got it the rainy coast went to 80 degrees and expect that to climb thru to the weekend.
Boy talk about what you watch what you ask for.
I've always thought this was God working through Logan to give His love to all who will accept.
I believe that too and it sure has brought an awful lot of people together for one purpose...to pray for Logan and...those prayers worked. :)
I just can't believe how this little guy has grown and how healthy and happy he looks. Cute too!
AWWWWWWWWWWW
Hi all!
Could you send a few prayers our way? We had our third child five days ago (as beautiful as a little girl can get), and that is going well. But the last day has not--my dear husband had to go to the ER this morning with kidney stones (the second time in 7 weeks), and just after noon, our son (21 months old) was playing daredevil and fell off a bunk bed, breaking his right leg. He will be wearing a cast for three weeks. If my mother wasn't here this week, I would really be hopeless right now. Pray for everyone's healing, and for my sanity next week when I am home alone with the three little ones!
Thanks you all!

My heartfelt prayers are with Little Logan.. Keep on fighting as long as you can little one.
My heartfelt prayers are with little Logan take care
Our boy still needs our prayers, folks.
He's still having problems holding his food down.
Beth changed doctors, and the doctor changed his medication.
He's doing better, but he's not gaining weight like he should.
He's just stretching out like a rubber band!
He's still got some hills to climb, but you wouldn't know it by looking at these......................
