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!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh Cowboy....thanks for letting us all know. The crowd was starting to get restless around here, not knowing what was up!!!

I know you're doing the best to get this problem fixed, I know you're going to find the best doctor and the best solution to your hip problems.

Nana? YOU are a wonderful WONDERFUL friend!!!! :)

We, this mighty group of prayer warriors, will be praying for you, as always.

Love you,
Bertha

[Brad’s Gramma]

You. Me. We shall sneak in, in the dead of night, and TAKE the toy. Howz THAT?

[Brad’s Gramma]

And Faith....God bless her, REAL big!!!

Happy Easter, TC

[Squantos]

Glad to hear from ya ...sorry yer hurtin Cob !
As I like to say it's not the mileage it's the sudden stops that are starting to slow us down !

Gotta take care and let em fix ya !......ya did good on the 2nd, 3rd opinion . Can't be too careful. That's great that your friend prepped all that food for ya ! Awesome !!

Stay safe TC !!

[Eaker]

Tonight good for you?

We need to keep this quiet!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Tonight works. Time? Place? Mum's the word...

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I just talked to TC on the phone.

He won't let me shoot his new toy until he gets better.

He is a mean ole buzzard.

We need to keep up the prayers!!"

I needed a good laugh today! LOL

[TexasCowboy]

I'll make y'all a deal:

If the two of you can pick up that gun safe and walk off with it, you can have it and everything in it.

I AM going to get this darn hip fixed, and we ARE going to have go have a shoot!
Git yore scheduling done, BG!

[TexasCowboy]

An old man of about 70 sat down beside of me when I waiting for my dope at the drug store, and he said, "Okay, tell me the story behind the cane."

I told him the whole story, and he replied, "I retired from medical practice, and I'll give you some advice: Anything that is remotely connected to your back, don't cut unless you can't do anything else."

It was too coincidental that this old doctor happened to be at the same place at the same time as me. I think God was sending me a message that I might be wanting to cut too quick.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Eaker! Pssst. Over here. EAKER! Cowboy's here. We'll have to go underground with this plan. Tonkin....we're meeting somewhere tonight to rescue TC's new toy. Wanna be in on this stealth operation? Stay tuned. We'll let you know when. Where. Stuff like that.


Cowboy! Hi! Didn't know you were still online!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Whooooooooaaaa.....

Yeah. Listen to that man.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Hey Brother!

I'll watch your new toy!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Good! Good! Divert the man. (hehe)

[Eaker]

Think he is on to us??

[TexasCowboy]

"We know all about chronic pain TC and the best pain killers are worthless."

I'll bet you do, op.
I used to say that I could understand, but I didn't.
Only when you live with it 24 hours a day with no relief in sight can you understand.
When the body finally gets so exhausted that it drops into a quick recovery sleep of a couple of hours then wakes back up to the same pain, one can understand.

My heart goes out to you and KV. You've got more strength in your big toe than I'll ever muster.
You would think that in this age of medical miracles, there would be a pain killer that works, but I agree. I haven't found one, either.

May God bless you and KV, and may you have a Happy Easter.

[TexasCowboy]

Yeah, I got y'all figured out.
You're hoping I take enough of these pain killers that it knocks me out so you can steal my new toy.

I'm glad I bought those two black mambas. They're around here somewhere............

[Eaker]

I'm glad I bought those two black mambas. They're around here somewhere............

COOL!!!!

We get a snake each too!!!

Bonus!!!

[Eaker]

Quit pinging him!

That is no way to keep a secret!

[Squantos]

Orrrr he knew you'd tell me !!!........:o)

Angels everywhere TC !

Thanks !

[Brad’s Gramma]

It IS possible. I'll distract him.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Mamba Shmamba.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh.

Yes.

Cool.

A snake.

*sigh*

[trussell]

Prayer ping. TexasCowboy needs our prayers...he was injured and is experiencing so much pain it is affecting his ability to post. If you want to know more...check his posting history. He has explained the details of the injury. For the latest...see post 10,988.

Please post your replies to TexasCowboy

TexasCowboy, I started praying for you when I noticed I hadn't seen you for a few days. I checked your posting history and lifted you in prayer right away. My prayers will continue for you, so please keep us updated.

Brad's Gramma, Thank you for the ping.

Blessings,
trussell

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

[Yaelle]

TC, I am so sorry you are suffering so. I am sending up prayers for SWIFT relief and FAST healing to 100%!!!

I certainly know a lot of people who have had hip replacements and ended up better than before. Whatever you and your docs decide, let's just get you out of this pain and back to doing all the things you love to do.

BG, Logan is delicious!

[NanaDory8]

I am putting TexasCowboy and his family on my prayer list.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you, NanaDory8!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you, Yaelle!!!

How's YOUR little guy doing?

[TXBSAFH]

Prayers sent.

[Libertina]

HE Has Risen Indeed!
God bless and keep you, TC

[Alamo-Girl]

I am praying for you and your daughter and wish you a blessed Easter!

[TejasRose]

Praying for your healing, my friend. I haven't been to FR much lately, been really busy with work and just catching up reading tonight. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

God bless!!
TR

[r9etb]

Even a big ol' guy like you needs a prayer or two -- and I'm happy to join the folks on this thread, praying that your hip will be healed.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Happy Easter, Termite! I LOVE you!!!

[glock rocks]

Happy Easter, TC.

We're prayin for you.

Oliver is now two. He is a beautiful and sweet little boy. He is still very small for his age, and now we have delayed speech, but he has been all checked out and is making some progress. He only says about 3 or 4 words.

I will try to post a picture of him.

[Bennett46]

Happy Easter Brad's Gramma and thank you for this amazing thread!

This little boy is a miracle from God!

I found this thread looking for recent posts from TexasCowboy, and wouldn't you just know this would be the place I would find him?

I've gone back to the beginning of the thread and am so uplifted by the posts.

Bless you for sharing this wonderful story, and bless you TC for leading me to it!

[Brad’s Gramma]

I will try to post a picture of him.

Patience has NEVER been one of my virtues. (hehe!)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Purty cool, isn't it? Boy oh boy....when God answers prayer, He sure doesn't mess around!

Check back later....I'll HOPING FOR but not guaranteeing, new Easter pictures...

Happy Easter, Bennett46!

[Veto!]

Black mambas? LOL. TC, that just proves you're going to be just fine. It's the ornery cusses in this world who live to be 100.

Sorry, I haven't been on this thread since your injury was announced. Prayers for you and hopes for the best orthopods to take care of you. Pain sux! And it radiates. If your problem is in the muscular-nervous system, how could a hip replacement help? Your hip joint is hurting now, but could it be pain radiating there from the nearby source? Might be things to discuss with the pros at TX Med Ctr.

I hope you have some chocolate Easter eggs to make you happy today!

God bless,
Veto! of the Northwest Ornery Ladies' Brigade

My 8 year old daughter was born at 27 weeks and weighed 3 pounds.We were lucky that she was going to be a big baby at full term which allowed her to reach 3 pounds so early.It's amazing how far the technology has come over the years.I hope this baby is able to lead a normal and healthy life the same type of life my daughter is blessed with.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'm SO HAPPY to hear about your little one!!!!

SO happy.

Hang on to your hat....I'm about to post some hot DOG pictures of Logan. Yes indeedie, God DOES answer prayer!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter, Logan!




Well, our little guy's had another fun Easter, from the sounds of things!! It seems like each day is an adventure for these little ones, doesn't it? Here's part of Nana's email to me....

Logan had a ball!! He loves his girl cousins and kisses them at will all the time. He won't kiss Beth or me!! He had a HUGE day. He played AT the sandbox (he will NOT play in it!), hunted eggs, although he really liked trying to stand on them or throwing them better. His "Basket" he liked better on his head :) And... finally we took him to a field of blue bonnets just for that perfect spring picture.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think we'd be where we are. He's a joy, and getting better and better every day.

Our prayers were said for all of you, our special friends. Where would this baby be without you? God help me, I don't even want to dare go there.

Happy Easter to everyone!

And now....LOGAN!!!!































































Happy Easter Freepers Friends!






The html looks all goofy from my end...and Nana's waitin' to hit the hay so she can watch Logan tomorrow. That is my story and I'm stickin' with it! :) If you want OFF my Logan/Malachi/sometimes I think it's important ping list, please FRmail me...

[hocndoc]

Gorgeous boy! Thanks for the post and the ping!

God bless all of us who love Logan!

[Eaker]

TT found more eggs than I did.

The rest will "turn up" in time!

Thanks for the pics!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thank You God for this miracle called Logan!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Someone, she who shall not be mentioned and I, stole the eggs before YOU could get them.


Neener neener neeeeeeeener!

[TexasCowboy]

Well, this was what I've been waiting for!

I love those Cool Hand Luke pics in his little blue cap!

It seems like just yesterday that I posted those of him dumping his Easter basket out on the ground!

I told his Nana that we now have the name of the color of his eyes - Bluebonnet Blue!

He's one happy little boy, and he infects everyone around him with his happiness.

Thank you, BG!
Thank you, God!
Thank you, FReepers!

Happy Easter to all! Our Lord has risen!

[Brad’s Gramma]

He has risen, INDEED!!!

Logan rocks!!! Malachi rocks!!! GOD is AWESOME!

[Texas Termite]

Happy Easter one and ALL.....

Thank you all for sharing Logan's life with us.

We love all of you!

"TT", Beth & Nana

[StarCMC]
