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!!!
Oh, Nana, I'm so happy to hear that they have performed a successful operation on little Layla's heart! I've called to share the good news with Mother. We are joining you all in prayers of praise and thanksgiving. Continuing in prayers for all to be well with this precious little one and her family. God bless.
We have so much to be thankful for in this operation considering the advancements that have been made since Logan had his operation! Little Layla may not have made it through the procedure like Logan's. Twenty minutes...that's amazing! We're so very thankful to God for blessing and being with the surgeon and medical team, as well as with little Layla!
Layla is in my prayers.
Amazing update! Prayers continuing for Layla.
Thank you for letting us know. Prayers continue...
Thank you for the Ping, Grammy, and my Prayers are Ascending for Sweet Layla.
Layla’s having a rough time. PLEASE pray. Not sure what all is going on... I’ll post again when I find out.
Praying.
We said special prayers today and Father will remember her at Mass.(((((Hugs))))Fatima
I’m sorry to hear that. Prayers continue...
Still praying for Layla
Well I will tell you all what I know to date...
Layla went thru the surgery pretty well and it is now 1 week post op. She has a new problem and that is a collapsed lung. The vent is what’s hurting her as I understand it, but she’s not strong enough to be without it. On the positive side, she is getting a little Mommy’s milk 4 times a day (tiny bits for a tiny baby) and the last I heard she now weighs 1 lb. 7 oz. Her mommy is having terrible stomach or adominal pains and they are attributing it to “stress”. So please, please please....... pray for this little family. This baby girl is fighting so hard and her young mommy and daddy are doing everything they can to see that she stays safe and thrives.
Thank you all.......
Nana
