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!!!

You know, beachie, I thought for a long time before I posted that.
Someday he might hate me for it, but I got such a belly laugh out of it, I just had to share it.

This might be another one of those "man things".

Logan does have a beautiful family, Diva.
I've never seen a more supportive and loving family.
God knew what He was doing when he gave Logan to them, but, then, He always does.

Logan will come through this just like Stephen did.
He's climbed lots bigger mountains than this.

Your profile page is awesome!
I rarely look at profile pages, but yours is great!
Thanks for the prayers for the little punkin and the family.

I know there has to be times around Logan's house when everyone is not grinning, but I've never seen it!

LOL.... He may get you one day for sure!

I took one of my oldest son the first time he used the big toilet. He hates that picture. It's not like I take it out and show everyone! And, you don't see any private things! LOL.

So sad to hear our little toot is not feeling well. My thoughts are with him and I know that pretty soon, he's going to be right back to his feisty little self. Smooches and hugs for the Termite. I see the Tooth Fairy paid him a visit.

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.

OK, you don't have to rub it in! <;)

-------

Logan sounds like he has a sensitive tummy, like I do. Is he too young for baking soda & water? That's what I take before each meal (1/2 tsp 3x a day). It really helps. (I wonder if he could take a reduced dosage - ask the doctor - it's better than drugs). It also sounds like he has food sensitivities. For instance, I can't eat a tuna sub with tomatoes or pickles - it will make my stomach jitter like crazy. You just have to know what foods affect you - what you can eat, and what you can't eat, no matter how much you like them. I also keep a food diary* (and have for years). So I can totally relate to Logan's tummy troubles.

*It's a combination daily journal/food diary/dream journal/anything else I can think of.

LOL!
Yeah, I guess I was rubbing it in a little!

Right now Logan likes sweet potatoes and turkey.
THAT'S ALL!
You try to stuff some fruit down this boy, and he'll spit it back at you!
I remember mine wouldn't eat anything that didn't have applesauce in it. Logan hates applesauce!
I always figured that the body would tell you what it needs, and, evidently, Logan's body says he needs lots of sweet potatoes and turkey!

Okies, I was having Internet problems last night, but I was trying to tell you that you and yours are in my prayers.
I pray that the Good Lord will heal your family and make everyone whole again with His love.

I love the shots of Logan at his keyboard. And all the rest of them too. He just lights up my heart.

Always prayers for this precious baby boy and his familiy. How is Nana?
