I'm "filling in" tonight to post the update and pics.
I was sent a ping list for Baby Logan plus I'm using my ping list.
So if you had me remove you from my list before you are being pinged because you are on Logan's list.
Please post your replies to Texas Termite.
I have it on good authority that he reads ALL the posts.
LOGAN UPDATE AND PICS

Hi everybody...

Just a quick update on the Termite. He went to the pulmonary doctor today and he is doing pretty good. His oxygen sat rate is at 87% and it has to be at least 92% to be taken off of the canula, so he has a way to go yet. But he's getting there!

Logan now weighs 7 lbs. 4 oz. and he's 19" long! Quite a spurt for the little guy. He also had 2 first today..........................

He was given apple juice and he LOVES it! He finished off 2 oz. so fast we had to keep taking the nipple from him so he could breathe :) It's a milestone for the little guy to already being given something besides his milk. He did well with it and it didn't upset his tummy at all.

The other wonderful thing that happened was that when his mommy kissed his neck as she always does, he turned his head and opened his mouth to her cheek like little ones do when they "kiss" back. She and I both cried with joy! Her first kiss from Logan :)

This coming Friday he has an eye appointment to check and see how that's going. I do know that he sees. He watches lights, can follow you as you move around the room, etc. But because he does have mild ROP, we have to stay on top of that.

Our baby is progressing so well. His little lungs are still a big problem, but we knew that and hopefully in time, they will develop and leave him strong and healthy.

Our prayers continue for all of our friends, both those in need and our prayers of thanks to all of you.

A special thank you for Uncle Tonkin for stepping up and posting the pictures and update for us this time. Aren't friends and family great???

Stay safe, and God bless you all......

Logan's Nana



First Kiss

Thank You God for the miracle that you let us witness.
I love you baby Logan!

Thank you for the update, Tonk.

Logan: I'm sooooooooo proud of you! Way to grow!!! (Today apple juice; soon you'll be wanting apple pie! LOL!) I'm praying that your body keeps using that oxygen in the way it's supposed to do, so you can keep growing and growing into a healthy young man. I'm praying for your eyesight, and for strength for your NaNa and mommy, too. ... Oh! Also awesome news about that kiss today!!! (Keep it up. Mommies love that stuff, you know. So do grammas! I got some neat gramma kisses and hugs from my grandbabies today. Those kisses sure make for special times!) ;)

Logan, I love you too! You look so adorable. Keep on kissing; it's fun! Pretty soon we will be hearing of your first laughter. I can't wait.

Sweet nephew you got there Unkie Tonk ;)

BTTT!!!!!!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Oh TT you are growing so fast and you look so healthy. You are a very big bright spot in what is sometimes a very dark world. You have come to mean a lot to people across the country and likely people around the world.

So, your first kiss huh? Not the last one I am betting. Kisses are fun! And I am so glad to see that they got you a big old bear to protect you.

Love and kisses.

Wow - the termite is really growing! What a precious little guy!

[Valin]

He's growing like a weed!!
So when is he going to register with Freerepublic?

You do of course realize that what this site really needs is an official baby.
/really subtle hint

[Aquamarine]

That first kiss is so sweet! I'm happy to see Logan got his cuddly bear. :)

[MrConfettiMan]

It's so wonderful to see how far and how well Logan as come along. Continued prayers for Logan and his family.

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

[Nix 2]

I think we might be one of the sites where really, NO ONE has given up a strong belief in Miracles.
As always, continued prayers for all who need them, and for those who don't think they do. Prayer works because G-d works.
Thanks, Tonk. I've missed ya.

[Auntbee]

Thanks for the pictures. I just adore this child. Prayers continued for this precious baby.

[admiralsn]

OK, there is some trickery at play here. THAT is NOT the same baby as the one at the very beginning of this thread!!!

Still praying for you every single day, my little buddy.

Thanks for the great update. And thanks too for Logan, his momma and Nana for the great pictures and letting all of us share in this miracle. This thread is so filled with love and inspiration, what a blessing we have all received throughout Logan's struggles.

[cubreporter]

Pure, unadulterated sweetness! That's all I can say to describe that first little kiss Logan gave his mommy. How happy she must have been to feel his love returned. No wonder there were tears. Tears of joy.

Oh Logan looks sooooooo good and sooooooo healthy and the weight he has gained is soemthing else. What a cutie he is.
This is soooooo joyful.

Thank you God for bringing Logan to where he is now and I hope Logan knows how much we all love him and wish him sunshine and happiness for all of his days.

[M0sby]

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)!
