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

Myself | 8-11-03 | Brad's Gramma

[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!!!

WOW! Little Logan...you are NOT so little anymore, are you?
Apple juice and kisses? My goodness...
Your momma is looking so happy to have a smootchie from you!
What a miracle you are!
Thanks to Uncle Tonk for posting the update!
Thanks to all who pray for the little ones (and the big ones too)!
It has been a sad week for our country's military families.. (and everyone). I am thankful to be able to read the joyful updates of your life and your growth and remember that their is a better tomorrow.
Keep GROWING little one..remember to breathe when you hit the bottle!
Prayers for you continue!

Dear Termite,
I'm so happy to hear that you are doing so well. I bet that apple juice is heaven!
Now that you know how to give kissies, I want one too. You are getting so big....soon some of your animal friends will have to sleep someplace else...no room for such a big boy and all of his pets.
I hope to see lots more pictures and wish you happy moments from now on.
Love, (aunt) Stanz.

Hey, Uncle Tonk!!
I'll bet you giggled all the time you were getting those pics ready to post!
That boy is something else!
Thank you, brother!

TT, when you get a little bit older, I'll show you how to turn that apple juice into a really GOOD drink! LOL!
You just keep swigging that stuff down, little one.
We're not ready to put you on the Atkins Diet yet, but it looks like I may have to reconsider about that horse I was going to buy for you to ride.
I had just about decided on a small pony about eight hands tall, but it looks like I'll need to buy a Clydesdale.

ALL:
I talked to Nana last night, and she said that when Logan latched onto that nipple that was giving him apple juice he refused to let it go!

YOU GO, TERMITE!!

Hi, precious baby boy; so glad you're doing so well. Praise God!!

Praying that your lungs continue to heal.

Love to Mom and Nana;

Logan is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! Heavenly Father be praised and glorified! Thank you Jesus for this miracle baby! Our faith has grown. What an inspiration!! God bless little Logan and his wonderful circle of family and friends. Wow!!!

What a mighty God we serve!!
What a mighty God we serve!!
Angels bow before Him, Heaven and earth adore him.
What a mighty God we serve!!

Wow...how amazing it is to watch the little ones grow, what a miracle our Lord performs each and every day.

TC, I know how you feel and how special this treat has been for you. As I watch my new granddaughter each day, I realize how special we are to actually be there with them. The rest of the Termite Team has to get their Logan fix virtually, and you get the real thing.

God Bless you and yours, FRiend!!

[TexasCowboy]

HJ, everytime I hold that little miracle I think of everyone on the "Termite Team".
I sincerely wish everyone could have that pleasure of looking into those eyes.
The sweet, innocent love that shines in his eyes makes all the bad things of life disappear.
All is right with the world.

Enjoy the granddaughter, HJ. They grow so fast!

God bless you and yours, old FRiend.

He is getting so big!

He looks great!

[austingirl]

What sweetness! So much progress for little Logan. Thank you, God!

[STARWISE]

Thanks so much, Uncle Tonk!!! These recent precious pictures of Logan are so heartwarming .. bring tears. God Bless you, TC, and Logan's Nana, Beth and Bud, BG. I see someone had to enlarge the size of Logan's Pals and barnyard ..LOL

HE'S JUST GLORIOUS!!! God, continue to grant Logan that fight to live and get stronger and stronger, and his family patience, grace and joy. GO LOGAN, GO!

Valin....The Termite IS a Freeper! Do a search for Texas Termite and see what you come up with.

He's so very smart, you see, because I taught him to read and write and surf the net before he left the hospital. He decided Free Republic was the happenin' place on the net so he signed right on. And the poor child was soooooooo bored that I HAD to give him something to do with all of that time on his hands.

A boy can only flirt for so long, dontchaknow.

Har!

Thank you so much for providing the update on this precious child, Uncle Tonk.

The photographs show he already has the makings of a successful entrepreneur - has the beginning of his Very Own Zoo, and before you know it, he will have those animals trained to perform for us on cue..:))

Charge admission to see the animal population grow, and he'd have his college fund set before kindergarten - lol

Today, apple juice - before long, Uncle Tonk will be slipping him some "C" rations and have him in a Coast Guard uniform..:))

Logan needs that bear for Christmas !!!
Of course, after Uncle TC delivers the Marine Corps one..:))

That's a tall dude - did you perchance model for it, Uncle TC?!

My wife and I are about to have our first on Monday (scheduled c-section due to the Little Peanut being breech).

Congratulations! Will be thinking of you on Monday. How very exciting. :-D
