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!!!

Hey Texas Termite, want to see something old, something new?



Remember Uncle Tonkin can teach you shooting BIG GUNS and water safety.
PS The Navy gets the really BIG GUNS and they give the Marines the small ones. LOL

Just to restore your faith that Marines have the right answer to everything, BG, there is no question in my mind that THE DOGGONE DOG is slipping into the bath water in all those BATHS Logan takes!!

It is obvious The Dog has self-destructive tendencies, and we Marines are not to blame..:))

So HA !!!
and double haha !!

Coastie watches Logan AND the doggie at bath time.

Well, then I have THIS to say....since you're SO BENT ON DEFENDING YOURSELF...it makes a person sit back and wonder. Hmmm....why? Why would someone jump to the conclusion that it was the Marines a certain BG was talking about when she said it was a conspiracy that the dog was shrinking? Huh?

Unless, of course, you're guilty of something. The shrinking of the doggy for instance. Guilt DOES do strange things to a person.

The Tonk, my Daddy, the USN and I await your answer.

Well, Missy, it's been one hour. I've given you enough time to come up with a story respond. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I'm wondering now if there may be some TRUTH to your supposed guilt-ridden statement earlier. After all, someone who doesn't have the GUTS to put their last name on here, and has to use an X does tend to make someone suspicious.

You'll notice my last name. Gramma.

With sadness I sign off for the night. The dog has been such a protecter through all of this and someone is out to get him.

Sigh. The USN is sad tonight, very very sad.

Logan - Kisses from Newport, Oregon.

Your O2's are great bud.

It is all timing. : )

Wait 'till you get Carrot/Pinapple Juice. Yumm.

Tell Mom "silk tape" for long term use helps sometimes on the cannula. If you are like King Vanity you pull it out right when Mom starts snoring. Be good little man. Love You. OP and King Vanity

THE MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY !!!

Joe, that took some careful planning on your part!

This is indeed our first, Brad's Gramma, and while we would have preferred the excitement surrounding a "regular" childbirth, Little Peanut (and the Good Lord) had other plans. S/he has been breech for quite some time necessitating the need for a c-section. The only positive aspect about this is knowing exactly when the baby is coming and having the opportunity to choose the birthday. I, being a patriotic American, originally wanted Veteran's Day but we were unable to get the doctor we desired on that day. I had no idea Monday was The Marine Corps Birthday. Thank you so much letting me know!

Assuming Little Logan is sleeping peacefully and cannot hear our conversation, in the light of day I shall address 'certain issues,' G'Mom of Brad..|:>(

What kinda example are you setting for our little guy?!

"Well, then I have THIS to say....since you're SO BENT ON DEFENDING YOURSELF...it makes a person sit back and wonder. Hmmm....why? Why would someone jump to the conclusion that it was the Marines a certain BG was talking about when she said it was a conspiracy that the dog was shrinking? Huh?"

"A" - CALM DOWN!!
Sheesh - typical hysterical Navy brat, are ya?

You presented a dire problem, suggesting there was foul play afoot, the little dog 'shrinking.'
Kept demanding an answer, so as usual, a Marine had to respond to a potential disaster right in front of Our Boy!

When the going gets tough - the tough get going, so naturally I stepped in with a perfectly logical and innocuous reason to 'splain why the Doggone Dog might be shrinking.

In typical Navy fashion, you were making a mountain out of a molehill...we Marines simply keep our cool and get the investigation going and solved, while you Navy and Coast Guard types sit around and polish polish those silly BIG GUNS.
Marines, of course, use their heads and sometimes bare hands to solve 'problems.'

Moving along to "B" here -

"Well, Missy, it's been one hour. I've given you enough time to come up with a story respond. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

LOL- you CA types think the world revolves around ya - it was after 0100 here in the South, and I had retired to be in top form and able to fight another day..:))

Which brings me to "C" -

"I'm wondering now if there may be some TRUTH to your supposed guilt-ridden statement earlier. After all, someone who doesn't have the GUTS to put their last name on here, and has to use an X does tend to make someone suspicious.

You'll notice my last name. Gramma."

LadyX pauses to yawn over this...it is a matter of there being insufficient room to put "Lady Gramma of Eight; GREAT-Gramma of One," that no one ever would be able to remember and type in an address.

Even little Navy children can spell "X" - - ..|:>))
I leave you, laughing !!!

Our Angel on Earth, Little Logan, shall have the best of us all, is the bottom line...

You are most welcome, MrCMan..:))
Couldn't let the opportunity pass to point this out.
Please add me to your Ping! List when you post a thread to properly welcome that child.

May God bless each of you, as you receive His beautiful Gift...

P.S. - Dare I suggest "Parris" as a name for a girl?
Not too sure about "Island" as one for a boy..|:>))
LOL

Oh, no. Every time I'd say her name I'd think of France. Sorry, can't do that. I'm sure you understand. :)
