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!!!

THE MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY !!!"

Joe, that took some careful planning on your part!
That baby will have a big headstart in life!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[TexasCowboy]

BOY!

That is one sharp looking Gyrene bear!!

I have to mention that the Marine Corps Dress Blue uniform is the only uniform in our military which uses the same colors as our nation's flag.

I would love to give a dissertation on those colors, but I'll save it for five more days.

Let it suffice to say that the Termite WILL have a Marine Corps bear!

"Let it suffice to say that the Termite WILL have a Marine Corps bear!"

Knew I could count upon Uncle TC to properly equip The Texas Termite with absolute 'essentials!'

Please give Logan a hug for me when next you hold him -
tell him how many Marines are out here for backup through his life..:))

"I have to mention that the Marine Corps Dress Blue uniform is the only uniform in our military which uses the same colors as our nation's flag."

I honestly did not realize that, TC, and I taught Customs & Courtesies, among several subjects!

Thanks for keeping me straight....

LOGAN! I'm so proud of you!!!!!

Whoops. Probably napping, are you? I scrolled up and looked at that first picture. WHOO HOOOOOO You've grown. AuntieN's prouder than punch. I love you, Sweetie.

Hi guys! I just wanted you to know I have not forgoten about you. Boy I have alot to catch up on over here! You look so good Logan.

I am so glad to see you giving your Mommy a little kiss!

I have been doing a bit of work on the Terri Schindler case, so I hope you will all keep her in your prayers.

IMO, Terri is fighting for her life, and I am trying to help her, because I know for sure ,after seeing you grow, that life is good and God is good.

I hope you are having a happy life Logan. You are a miracle to me.

Congratulations to you and your wife. What WONDERFUL news!! Is this your first ever baby? Or are you two old hats at this?

Just remember Texas Termite
When them Marines fall in the water they yell for Coastie to help them!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Hehe

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

The doggie keeps shrinking

[Brad’s Gramma]

It's a conspiracy and don't EVER EVER let anyone tell you otherwise. But never fear. Me and The Dog have things all under control. Help Is On The Way

[TexasCowboy]

"When them Marines fall in the water they yell for Coastie to help them!"

And remember, also, Termite, that Marines always have their rifles.
So if those Coasties are a little tardy in getting you out of the water............well, you'll know what to do..

[Brad’s Gramma]

Never EVER dis the Navy, you hear me?

My DADDY was Navy....

[TexasCowboy]

"Me and The Dog have things all under control."

The dog is history.....

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"It's a conspiracy and don't EVER EVER let anyone tell you otherwise."

I bet it's them Marines.

[Brad’s Gramma]

GASP!

[TexasCowboy]

"Never EVER dis the Navy, you hear me? "

Now, who is dissing the Navy??!
I was just reminding Gyrene Termite that he will always have the means to get some attention.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Do I or Do I Not get in the middle of this anymore than I already am? Hmmmmmmm.........SUCH a dilema. Tapping foot on floor, oh so dainty like, (ack!) wondering what to do. WHAT to do...

[LadyX]

"Just remember Texas Termite

Right you are, Tonk!
Admittedly, we would not want to go through this life without you next to us..:))

Yes - right after his first words being "SEMPER FI !!" will come Logan's second words:

Vive Coastie !!
