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!!!
I'll be watching.
Someday he'll know.....
Logan has had so many pictures taken that he knows exactly what is going on when he sees a camera.
He poses!!
I, my friend, am among those who have been blinded by the clutter of life this side of Paradise.
May Logan open some eyes to His power.
Yes, this tiny miracle has done that.
Godspeed.
Shoes. The shrinking doggy. Logan. OH MY GOODNESS!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOWWWWWWW!!!!
Wow! What wonderful pictures of our birthday boy! Thank you so much for posting them. A little something is on the way for the Termite and should reach Katy, Texas by the end of the week. Please give him hugs and smooches and an extra special birthday kiss for me.

The birthday pictures are precious and those bath pictures are adorable.
Hey .... Ya gonna bring Logan to Fresno's picnic?
One reason- when our preemie was born, I went to the gift shop in the hospital and bought a little stuffed dog- Yappers. We placed the dog with our little one in her isolette, and it moved with her to her warming bed. When we came home, it was placed in her bed, and when she moved to a "big-girl" bed a couple of years ago, I put it at the top of her headboard. It is still watching over her. I was thinking just the other day that I am going to make a special effort to make sure that dog stays with her always. When she gets married or leaves home, I am going to make sure (somehow) that it still watches over her.
My Nana loves the story you just told about your daughter and her puppy! Thank you for sharing it with us. And please give her a special hug from another Freeper family!
This is Nana's favorite birthday picture of me too. I know that my family will make sure my "Puppy" is always near also. He even went to the hospital with me when I had my second operation.
Thank you for always being there for me.
God bless .....
Logan
Yeah.........that's nice. You are a great great man, my friend.
Hi Aunti N....
I'm really getting big, huh? And "Puppy" keeps getting smaller!! LOL
Glad you liked my surprise pictures.
I love you Aunti N... bunches of hugs are being sent your way!
*TT*, (Beth & Nana too!)
Dearest Termite,
Well, it looks like it's you and me, kid. We MUST start a campaign to save the dog. SOMEONE keeps shrinking him, as I'm sure you've noticed.
I'll be contacting the White House today to see if we can get some of the Big Wigs to help us. This cannot continue. The dog MUST be saved.
Hang on. HELP is on it's way. Oh, BTW, next time you have your keyboard out, you might want to send an email to the President, OK? Tell him the dog's a TEXAS dog. Yeah. That'll work.
I love you, Sweetie. BIG time!
Aunti N
First birthday card coming his way. I am speechless with the photos and...especially the one about puppy being with Logan all the way. That one brought a tear.
And with the dog - the world-famous dog! - just too cute!!!!!
