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!!!
You're so nice. And I mean that.
That's his Army training coming out.
He learned in the Army that it was much better for his health to be real nice to Marines.
Returning it will be easy.
Love those babies .......... then again they grow into smart mouth teenagers! If my 16 year old lives to be 21 without me .......... well never mind.
I'm thinking that perhaps I shouldn't ask, beyond this point. Am I right?
Consider it done.
Oh, that's NOTHING. Wait till your 16 year old is an A-D-U-L-T! You haven't experienced the joy of having someone live with you who, as an adult, KNOWS FAR MORE THAN YOU!!!
FRmail comin' up!!! And THANKS for the prayers!!!
Doodlelady is very talented. She captured him well. That is just too special.
My son turns 18 in a couple of months.
Gramma,
Logan looks like a fighter to me, chicken legs and all. The Lord will carry him until he is strong enough to make it out of that crib. Praise Jesus.
I learned in the United States Army, that marines have low IQ, their generals can't lead more than two divisions at a time, and that they talk (mostly to themselves) a great deal.
I also learned that if you want to take a few small islands, the marines are OK to use if their Navy bosses say it's OK and will take them over there. If you want to take all of North Africa or Europe however, you better get the big boys in the Army to do it!!!
Thank you TOO for the prayers....and, FRmail coming for you, too!!
God bless ya!!!
He's sure growing like a weed. I guess that's cuz he's a Texan.
He does NOT like to be treated like a baby anymore!
He's got two teeth in on the bottom and one in on the top!
Beth says he can bite hard enough to draw blood!
I think he's training to be a vampire!
He does not like to be cuddled, and his favorite position is standing by himself.
BTW: He DOES have a temper!
Noooo.....I just CAN'T believe that. Nuh uh.
You've got a date with the USMC at MCRD in San Diego in 2021.
