Prayer Request for A Tiny Baby (Update in post #12850)

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!!!

My 28 year old comes home from work late in the evening and joins me in my TT fix. He was our hospital baby...misdiagnosed spinal meningitis...75% chance to not make it for days then....75% chance of a vegatitive state then...75% chance for severe brain damage then...75% chance for major complications...we looked at the 25% chance we had for favorable outcome and clung to it for dear life. He snookered em all. I showed him the new website and you should have seen his grin.

I learn so much from these little ones.

Thanks for the pictures!!

Turning the corner!!!!! What wonderful words. We will keep praying for the TT and may he just keep having wonderful progress. No more backwards, only forwards from now on!!

I think maybe he was letting his Mommy know last night jsut how much he has been hurting. They always save their deepest emotions for when Mommy is there, and it may have been the first time he was able to get those great big emotions out of his tiny, worked-on body. It may have been something else, but it could well have been that. What a little trouper.

Love and good night little Termite.

"what miracle makers are those individuals that work in NICU to make Logan miracles possible."

Oh, yes!
To witness the genuine love and devotion these people have for those little babies is truly inspiring.
I've never been around any of them that didn't consider themselves as instruments of God to heal and make whole the tiny, helpless infants.
They do the footwork, and God provides the results.
