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!!!

I love those First Thanksgiving pictures! Our Termite is getting so big and handsome. I just love that sweet little face.

I want to cuddle him so bad!

Happy Thanksgiving, Logan! Your little buddy Oliver had his first turkey from the babyfood jar "Turkey Vegetable Dinner"! Looks like you liked your taters! Sweet dreams, baby doll.

Oh, BG, a very Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I am just on Cloud 9 due to Bush's surprise visit to the troops.

Yep, Ollie-boy had a good first Thanksgiving too! He also ate bits of apples out of the apple pie! Pretty cool. Got passed around the table and rightfully spoiled, like I am sure little Logan did.

Love, Yaelle

Thanks for the great pictures.
Larry fried a turkey, today, and the whole family pitched in for the first meal I can remember that came off with all the dishes done at the same time.

Then, I played Gammaw, and took Roni for her nap. And saw the worst wall-eyed fit I've seen since her Aunt Summer was that age. But, we both napped all afternoon - until they woke us up for dinner! I called my Moma after supper, and she told me what the President had been up to. Wow!

Wonderful day, I'm glad to share with my FR friends.

Well Termite, it's me again, coming to wish you a great night's sleep. I'll bet those mashed taters your Nana made you filled your little tummy up so good that you're sleeping soundly right about now.

I'm so happy to see those pictures your Uncle TC put up of you & your Mommy. What a great first Thanksgiving you had. Sweetie, I don't think you'll ever grasp the depth of love so many people feel for you. People who will never even meet you this side of Heaven.

I love you, Honey. I'll see you REALLY REALLY SOON.

Sleep well!

Is it time yet? Is it time yet? Is it time yet?

"I want to cuddle him so bad!"

Join the crowd!

I tell you, though, it's much worse when you've cuddled him several times then have to go cold turkey without it!
Whew!! Tough!!

LOL!
That's exactly what he makes me feel like - gobbling him up!

The pictures are darling, Texas Cowboy, and the expressions on Logan's face are priceless! You made my day. Thanks so much for sharing the joy with us. This precious little boy is another blessed reminder of the goodness of God, and we praise Him and thank Him.

Yes, the day wasn't long enough to count all my blessings one by one.

God bless you, lady!

I understand Logan has some of those, too, but I've never seen them.

I've got more pictures coming, Lucy!

People are telling me that the Web page is getting too big to load even with DSL.
I suggest everyone buy a mainframe computer and rent a space on a satellite so you can see all the pictures!

Seriously, as much as I hate to, I'll do some culling on the Web page today.
I guess 542 pictures miiiiiight be going a little overboard.
