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!!!
Dave, THANK YOU for praying for Logan, so faithfully, this past year!!!
God bless YOU!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
Ya know, He always blesses me, but I often fail to see His hand in it (I know there's a sermon in those words... :) ).
LOL!! Yep, there probably is a GREAT sermon in there!!
Me, too. I think it was seeing the original picture of him that did it. The one of him at 1 lb 9.4 oz. He was so unbelievably tiny. I think he could have fit into the palm of his Mother's hand.
Those early days when we were so afraid for him. Worrying about every ounce that he gained or lost - plus his operations. And now look at him! Plump and rosy, with big blue eyes, and an even bigger smile. It's just been remarkable watching his transformation over the past year.
To think that he'll be a year old in a week and a half! <:D
Thank you for letting us, with you, ask God for this miracle to happen , and thanks to God, who so lovingly blessed all of us by allowing us to witness it. Praise Him and His Son, for through Them all things are!!
When I scrolled from his birthpictures in the hospital to the new ones, right next to each other, I just burst out in tears in sheer joy! Please please please give Logan a hug from our family, and give one to his mom for sharing him with us.
And thank you again!
Hey termite! We pray everyday for your reflux to heal. U are so handsome, termite, you too TC.
Mama is soooo smart to bathe you in the sink it saves on those back strains.
Glad to here NANa is back to being your care provider.
We love you all in Jesus name.
Wonderful pictures ...... thank you TC.
Wow, Logan's almost a year old.
I think I'll just sit here a while with this grin on my face. Probably wander up the foothills out back to give some quiet thanks and watch the sunrise in a bit.
BTTT!!!!!!!
Keep the pictures coming. I hope to see some when he graduates from high school.
:-)
Hard to believe it's been a year! What a precious little boy...
Logan looks great. God is good. I pray his Nana is doing well also. Thanks for the pictures.
I'm crying, too!! I really love this child thanks to both of you. One year! WOW!
I'll have a special birthday edition of Logan's life after the birthday party.
If the Good Lord's willing, I'll be there to hug and kiss him for everyone.
BG, you know that all these tears are your fault!
You introduced this miracle into our lives.
There's no words to thank you enough.
Did you notice that he's begun to pull that bottom lip in like he's got a lip full of Skoal?
LOL!
I have no idea why; Logan does his own thing!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
BTTT!!!!!!!
Hi TC, thanks for the Birthday ping.
I think that was part of God's plan.
Logan reminds us to give thanks for His blessings.
Bump
Thank you, and TC, too, for being God's faithful servants, allowing all of Freeperdom to share in this wonderful story!
It is not possible to calculate the number of prayers being said daily for this lovely child and his family,
That's a beautiful and fitting graphic.
