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!!!

"Hey .... Ya gonna bring Logan to Fresno's picnic?"

Oh, man! That would be a dream come true!
I never get to spend much time with him, at least not near as much as I'd like.
The thought of me and Logan riding down the highway hour after hour together makes my heart smile.

The fact is, though, he's still a little pukie to take long car rides, and I'll probably not be able to get off work for this one, anyway.
I won't know for sure for a few more days.
Thank you for the invite. If I can, I'll be there!

My son was born with paralyzed vocal chords which required a tracheaotomy to be inserted in his throat when he was one month old.
He didn't have a puppy, but he had a little multicolored blanket, which he named, "Inkie", when we removed the tube at two years old.
He still has a little corner of that blanket, and he's 39 years old.

I have no doubt that Logan's puppy will be with him the rest of his life, just as Yappers will be with your daughter.
Precious memories.....

Oh I know and I really do hope they preserve that little puppy for Logan. It will be somethng when he is a man and husband and father of his own to show his children the "little friend" who was with him from the very beginning. I'm just a sentimental at heart but I can't help it! :)

Great pictures TC! I've been offline for a few days while moving to a new house, and it's great to be greeted with the new Logan pix!

Cheers.

You know what I hate about getting new pictures?

I have to go through them over and over again trying to decide which ones to put on my screen saver to replace the old ones!

Ahhh, the agony of indecision!!

OMG!!!!I've been away from a computer for almost a week. What a treat to see that sweet smile. Those birthday pictures are awesome. They say a picture is worth a thousand words (or something like that). Those pictures are worth millions. Happy #1, TT. And thank you, TC.
