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!!!

I'm fervently praying for this precious baby, her family, and all those tending her health, and I've called my mother and asked her to pray.

May God make his loving presence known to them as He comforts, blesses and strengthens them. May He bless, strengthen and sustain little Layla. May He guide the hands of the surgeon and grant all the medical team the wisdom and ready recollection of all the knowledge needed to be His intruments to see Layla through this difficult time.

"So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance." (Romans 8: 26)

"ALSO [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to lose heart, and give up." (Luke 18:1)

Thank you for praying,dear albie. But, the little one in need of urgent prayer is Logan's little cousin, Layla Ann. See the above post.

She is another precious little one like Logan was when he was born.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for tiny Layla.

Both I and my child were born two months early.
We know YOU took care of us and we know YOU
love all your children.

Layla is going to have heart surgery on Thursday.
Please guide the doctors, nurses and caregivers as they tend
to Layla.

Please touch Layla with your healing touch as we lift up Layla
to you in prayer.

Please comfort Layla’s parents.

Your will be done Lord.

In Jesus’ Holy Name.
Amen.

I join in fervent prayer for your precious granddaughter. Prayers also being said for you & your whole family, and of course Layla’s parents, especially! I am also praying for Layla’s medical staff - for wisdom in the decisions they are having to make at this time to help her - and for God to guide the Surgeon’s hand throughout her surgery tomorrow.

Please know that there are MANY, MANY people praying for her. May God hold you all in His embrace, and fortify you all with strength, courage, and hope.

I just talked to Layla’s GM and she is better tonight. She has stabilized a bit and they plan to do the heart surgery in the morning if she holds as she is now. They feel that the PDA valve is what’s causing a lot of her problems.
Prayers are being heard, and answered for right now in an affirmative “yes”. She has to be one tough baby girl. She was born not 2 months early, but 3!! To be precise, she was born at 24 weeks and 1 day.
As soon as I hear something, I will post again. In the meantime, PLEASE keep the baby and her mommy and daddy in your prayers..along with all who treat and care for her and others like her.
Blessings... and Thank You.
Nana
