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!!!

Prayers up again. Thanks to God go with them. Sometimes I ask too much and don't thank enough. Thackney, we could use your help here.

Logan's mom sounds very positive and sure of his continued success...that, and our prayers, will make the difference...

Awww.. that's a cute little guy. Pray that he pulls through.

"But what baby isn't?"

Right! Each a unique and unrepeatable Masterpiece from the Author of LIFE!

BTW-The words are a song from David Haas. Our Choir at Church leaves many misty-eyed with this one. You can hear it on-line at

We will be praying for Logan.

We spent several months in the NICU with our baby. They had a bulletin board covered with pictures of big healthy kids. Written on them were the weights of all these kids when they were babies. Many of them were between 700 to 10000 grams.

[Brad’s Gramma]

700 to 10000 grams.

I cannot even comprehend that. There are those of us who just don't know how good we have it, aren't there?

[VermiciousKnid]

Heavenly Father,

You formed this child in your own perfect image. You knew him as he grew in his mother's womb.

We beg you to look upon him now and give him the strength he needs to live and praise Your name. Look upon his parents and his family, that they may have faith in his recovery, and peace if You should call him home to You. Look upon the doctors and nurses, that they may use their gifts of knowledge to save this beautiful child.

Hang in there, Logan...we're all pulling for you!

May the Lord watch over baby Logan for whom our prayers are offered.

Please post your replies to Brad's Gramma.

Brad's Gramma-am adding my prayers to yours.

[attagirl]

Okay--prayers added from this quarter as well.

[Chesterbelloc]

700 to 10000 grams

Oops, that was supposed to be 700 to 1,000 grams. I think there were even some babies at 500 grams or slightly lower. We learned to think metric at the hospital. If my math is correct then Logan is at about 750 grams now.

And with the weight gain he is heading in the right direction.

Logan not needing the vent is great to hear! Takes away an infection risk. What a beautiful little guy he is!

[Brad’s Gramma]

His mom's going to be reading this tonight, probably, so she's going to see all of this.

Such wonderful words of encouragement!!

[FreepForever]

Thanks for joining in, attagirl. Isn't this an amazing miracle? 1.5 lb is like 4 oranges. By the grace of God, this little life fights on and is pulling through.
