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!!!
Who? US? Naaaaaaa........we are perfectly innocent of all charges, whether they be true or construed. Innocent, batting our feminine eyelashes..
RIGHT LADYX???? :-)
Ahem.... with your mouse, run it over the "blank" spaces and see what is revealed!
LOL
Oops!!
Felt sorry for a fellow Marine, and had to 'enlighten' him..:))
< Please insert a very deep, melodramatic sigh here. >
You have Freep Mail - - -
Your command is my wish..:))
However, my batteries need recharging since it is after 1 in the morning here on the "Right" Coast !!!
Parting is... is... I'll remember what after being plugged in overnight - maybe - -
Thanks, TC. Love the "high" shot. When Logan's on high we're all on high!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! He's an angel ... looks wonderful.
God Bless our Little Logan ... tx TC .. and Happy 4th.
Thank G-d for LOGAN!!!!! And happy 4th of July!
Sleep well, dear friend.
Hi Yaelle! Did you have a nice 4th?
Awwww, the last two are my favorites :-)
But he is happy and seems smart, even if he doesn't say anything yet, and he loves to see his friend Logan on the 'puter!
Here's a picture of the little Peanut with big brother and Daddy enjoying his 4th of July.
Here's a closer pic of him.
Yes, I did! A real old fashioned one! Hope you had fun too.
Somebody's got an important birthday coming up pretty soon!
BTTT!!!!!!!
Big smiles on my face. Our Logan continues to warm my heart. Thank you!!
I want to offer encouragement.
November 2, 1992, my son Brandon was born, weighing 1 lb 7 oz and at 23 weeks gestation. He had group B sepsis, among other complications of prematurity.
I offer Logan the same prayer I offered for Brandon: "God, you can fix this. I know you can, and I really want you to. If you choose not to, I will try to understand. This baby needs your healing and love, and I place him in your hands. Please give us all strength."
Brandon will turn 12 on November 2 this year. He has some residual asthma, but it didn't keep him from enjoying a full week of outdoor camping with Boy Scouts this summer.
God is faithful. I will keep this family in my prayers.
losing weight after premature birth is common, pray that the little guy will absorb nutrients and grow strong!
