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!!!
He's gonna LOVE Thanksgiving!! <:D
...tap, tap, tap...waiting...waiting...still waiting...waiting for Logan's July 4th celebration photos....tap, tap, tapping....
First, an UPDATE!!
From Nana:
"Well the little kid went to the doctor yesterday and he now weighs 15#'s and is 26" long. He has TWO teeth and looks like he's working on a molar :)
He still is having some problems with reflux, but we just re-feed him everytime he pukes. So at least he put on a little weight this time."
And now...................PICTURES!
Logan and his mommy and Nana went shopping today.
'Course Logan didn't get very much, like always. Yeah, right!
I think Beth has already started planning for an addition onto the house to hold all of Logan's stuff!
(No, we don't need Uncle Teddy's mate, BG!)
After the shopping trip they went out to eat Chinese food, and Logan found another thing he loves! Fortune cookies!
He doesn't eat fortune cookies; he slobbers on them until they get soggy!
OUR BOY IS SOMETHING ELSE!
Thank everyone of you for making this miracle come true!
God bless you!
