Logan's update.. he's 2 months old today!

Hi to all.....

Last night was a big night for me and Logan :) I got to see him have his Mommy give him a bottle for the first time. Now for a "regular" baby, this is no big deal... but for Logan.... it's HUGE! They put 41 cc's of milk in the bottle thinking he would dribble out a lot... nope! Not Termite!! He finished all they would let him have and they made him quit with 4cc's left. And he did it in 20 minutes. Not bad considering he doesn't know how to suck and breathe, so Beth has to allow him to quit sucking so he will breathe. When the boy was sucking..... he was REALLY sucking!!! And when he burps... mercy! The little guy really gets rid of the gas bubble!

As of this morning, he weighs 4 lbs, 5.8 oz. He's growing so fast, you can almost watch it happen. They are taping his foot to correct the turned position and we have been told that by the time he leaves the hospital, it will be fine. He doesn't seem to mind it at all.

Logan did have 2 Apnea episodes through the late night and again this morning, but the staff is not concerned... yet. He went through a lot yesterday, he had 3 bottles and once again they took blood for his work up. His hernias a really bothering him. In fact, the doctors are watching him very closely to decide how much longer they can wait before correcting them. And......... today he starts his innoculations. On his birthday!! Poor little guy :( But better that he be protected than let some bad germ get hold of him.

Last night, Beth brought something to my attention... Logan has a chin dimple! She does also.... and so did her grandma. So this little one is showing the extension of a very special lady.... his great gramma. His little eyelashes are growing.... Logan is starting to look like "Logan".

Looks like in the near future, our little one is going to have to undergo the surgery for the hernias. There's just not much longer they can wait. He had to be given medicine to help with the "hurt" of them and that's not good.

And I must add that Nana doesn't like it when everything's not going really good for him. We hate to see him in pain... as does any parent. We just keep reminding ourselves that he's a fighter... and he has a tremendous strength for such a little guy. God has and will continue to protect him and watch over him.....

So to our little miracle baby...... Happy Birthday Termite! You've given so many people so much happiness in these 2 months. Thank you God for your blessing, and we pray for Logan's continued well being and progress.

~~~~~~~~~BG here....I also got an email from Logan this morning...

Hi Aunti Nancy .... the doctors have scheduled me for surgery tomorrow to fix my hernias. Can you please ask my friends at the Freepers Thread to please say a special prayer for me, my Mommy and my Daddy too? Mommy's really worried about me. God will protect me.. I know he will. Thank you... I love you ... "TT"

~~~~~~~~~BG again.....I cannot thank each and everyone of you ENOUGH for the wonderful prayers, the posts, the forwarded emails that you've posted and for your support. It's SO amazing. We all are praying for each baby, child and adult that you put on this thread. God IS listening to these prayers.

Great news. Prayer bump.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I am praying extra hard today. I pray Logan's surgery is completed with the care of a mother to her newborn. I pray that Logan is healed from his injuries where needed. I Pray Mom and Dad Termite will be comforted by God's grace, knowing that all will be well in the long run.

It is so hard to see your precious baby in pain. I pray that the Docters are extra wise ,and the nurses who care for Logan will be extra kind to our little guy in his recovery.

Prayers continue for Jessie, Ryan, Sara Grace, the and for Richard to be returned to his mother and family. Continued prayers for Logan's friends in NICU , including the triplet who is surely in Heavan today.

Continued prayers for the Mom and Dads who love so much, hope so much and need so much. I am a parent of two young boys and my heart aches for the pain these parents face, and my heart soars for the love I know they hold for their babies.

Dear God please hear these prayers.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the life that is Logan ... thank You that You have him in a place of extraordinary care ... we thank You that You have guided each member of his medical team and that they rejoice with his family, at each milestone.

May it continue to be so, most Gracious Lord, as they prepare for Logan's surgery tomorrow. Give to each one, wisdom and guidance beyond themselves ... be the hands of the surgeon and the breath in Logan's lungs and the warmth in his blood ... work in this team and through them to bring Logan successfully through this ordeal. Comfort those who watch and wait and hope and pray and worry ... may Your hand rest mightily upon Beth and Bud and their families ... and their extended families ... may they feel Your presence and may our prayers be refreshment to their souls.

Lord, You have dealt most kindly ... in Your infinite mercy, do so again ... for Logan ... for Sara Grace ... for Ryan ... for the twins ... those we can name ... those we cannot ... each precious, each known to their Creator.

We praise You and thank You, in the name of Jesus, Amen ...
