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!!!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I sure do love that little guy...."

Me too!

[Brad’s Gramma]

I know you do, Tonk...I know. Our dream is to have YOU in Texas next.

We have to get him up to snuff before ANY of us are going back, though.

[oceanperch]

He is still in our daily's will be for long term even if FR ever shuts down.

Slap my mouth!

Hope he gets some relief to that sac swelling that must be horribly painful.

Much Prayer Lil Termite.

Also if anyone out there knows where I can find a used O2 monitor for a child in Idaho whose family does not have funds but can afford a used one.

[hocndoc]

I'm always cranky.

(Of course, I'll pray for Logan. Thanks for the ping! :) )

[Brad’s Gramma]

Slap my mouth!

LOL!!! Thanks for the prayers. I'll have to check around as to how to "advertise" your needs for that family. Have you tried the Idaho board here on FR?

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'm always cranky.

OK. NOT FUNNY! Do you know HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET THAT???????

LOLOL!!! Thanks hocndoc!!

[DLfromthedesert]

Prayers continue for Logan.

[JustAmy]

Of course I will be saying extra prayers for Logan tomorrow. Thank you for the pings.

Father, You have seen Logan through so much, Please help him get through this newest ordeal. Hold him in your loving arms and give the doctors the knowledge to make the correct diagnosis. We ask this in Jesus Name. Amen

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you, both of you!!!

[kayak]

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks, my friend....very very much.

[Fawnn]

Cranked prayers (not to be confused with cranky prayers) for Logan!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Sigh.

VERY big sigh.

I'm NEVER gonna live that one down.....oh well. PRAYERS IN ANY FORM ACCEPTED!!! :-)

[Diver Dave]

...but please crank em up when you read this, OK?

Gottcha covered BG.

[Yaelle]

Praying for a very healthy report and nothing but good, healing news for him.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TejasRose]

Will definitely pray for sweet baby Logan!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks, TejasRose....how's YOUR little one doing???

[Greenpees]

I pray that our Lord, God, in his infinite wisdom, will carry this little guy to his destiny. If that destiny is among us all, we are truly blessed. We all know, the lord has blessed us with his presence,

"not for nothing"

as we say in New England.

Logan, please be with us a long happy time.

Rick

[TejasRose]

how's YOUR little one doing???

Sara Grace is doing really well. I saw her and held her and loved her just last week!! She is so alert and talkative....her muscle tone and control is so good. She's gaining weight but a little slower than the docs would like. She's just under 10 pounds....will be 7 months old on January 6 (hard to believe). Course, her Mom is a small girl...only about 5'1" and her Dad is probably only about 5'6"...so Sara Grace probably won't play for the NWBA. You never know, though, she might be a firecracker little guard! :-)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you, Greenpees!

I LOVE your screen name!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

SEVEN MONTHS OLD already???? Holy cow, where did it go?

I'm so happy you got to hold her!!! I miss Logan so much!!

I'm sure the weight gain will pick up...just give that little body some time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow, TT, and saying a prayer that you have a good visit with the doctor lady.

[E.G.C.]

BTT!!!!!

[mabelkitty]

Prayers for a happy healthy baby today.

[Amelia]

(Monday afternoon) our little feller goes to the doctor.

You'll update us Monday evening? Hope everything is great.

[Texagirl4W]

We won't forget. Logan will be in my thoughts and prayers again today. Please let us know the results.

[glock rocks]

Monday prayer bump for Logan.

[M0sby]

Prayers going up today...especially "Cranky" ones!
Really though...Logan was in my thoughts all night!
Prayers all day!

[cubreporter]

Prayers for Logan. Hope the Dr. visit is very good. How's he doing anyway? How was his Christmas? Bet he was so cute with all the presents and stuff. Would love to see another photo. Bet we will all see a huge difference. What a tough year that was huh? Gosh..one step forward two steps back. Wow...it was tough for all of us. Can't begin to imagine how it was for you all. Anyway, prayer brought him through along with the love of his family.

Keep us posted now and then so we can follow his progress and watch him grow like all parents (freepers) like to do. :)

Take care and Happy New Year!!!!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Prayers are "ramped" up this afternoon. Please God hear this prayer.

Please protect our little Logan and guide the medical staff in charge of him. Please return him to his mother's loving care quickly , and please make him better.

[blackie]

Good Bless you Gramma.

[I'm ALL Right!]

PLEASE PRAY

Hey everyone. I don't normally ask this of people I don't really know well. However, I have been reading this thread and praying for quite a while...and I would like to add a prayer request for myself to the thread, if I could. I was recently diagnosed with a fairly rare brain malformation called a Chiari Malformation (I). It causes headaches, dizziness, numbness, memory loss...(in extreme cases it could lead to paralysis) all kinds of nice symptoms. The only treatment is surgery, so I'm pretty nervous about it.

Please pray for wisdom for my family and I as we search for the right doctors (only about 3500 surgeries of this type/year, so not many are REAL experts.) Also, I'd just love it if I were HEALED instead of having to endure this! Thank you all.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Prayers for Logan on the way! <:)

[Auntbee]

Prayers sent.

[Auntbee]

I pray for this adorable child every night. Will continue to do so. Thanks for the update. Happy New Year!

[Auntbee]

Will you put me on the ping list for Logan. I thought I was on there but I could be mistaken. Thanks.

[TexasCowboy]

If you're not on the ping list, I'm sorry, Auntbee.
I'll go check it right now!

ALL:

WAITING ON WORD!!!!!!!

[LucyJo]

Praying for you and your family that God will guide you to find just the right doctors to be the agents of your healing. May He strengthen and bless you and surround you with His providential care that all will be well with you. May He guide you into all comfort mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

[Aggie Mama]

Prayers for you.

[TexasCowboy]

IAR, I missed your post earlier.
Of course, I'll pray for you, and I'll post a link to Logan's Miracle Room thread.

Dear Lord, we pray for our beloved freeper who has a brain malformation.
We pray that you heal her, dear Lord, and cause her symptoms to cease. We pray for complete healing of this malady of her brain.
If that is not your will, gracious Father, please guide the doctors and nurses who will treat this condition.
Give them the knowledge and the compassion to cure our fellow Christian.
We pray in Jesus name, Amen.

[Soaring Feather]

Prayers for your healing.

[DLfromthedesert]

Prayers for your healing. May the spirit of the Lord overtake your body, and heal all infirmities.

God Bless

[Pegita]

Joining your FReeper family in prayer ...

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the hearts that You touch for prayer. Thank You that IAR has offered prayer on behalf of others in need ... now we,O God, ask that Your healing hand would be upon her as she and her family seek the wisest of Doctors. Diminish the malformation within her brain, even as they search, that even the wisest of surgeons may be mystified at her improvement. Manifest Yourself through her, Heavenly Father, and protect her unto the day of her complete restoration to health. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

[TexasCowboy]

LOGAN UPDATE:

Friends, I think the way to look at the results of Logan's exam today is that no bad news is good news.

The urologist examed his scrotum this afternoon and couldn't find anything in there except fluid - no tissue was involved.
He's going to be checked tomorrow by the doctor who originally did the hernia surgery when he was in NICU.
I assume this is to assure themselves that there is not an extended problem with the original surgery.

So, it's wait and see, again, folks.
Please keep the prayers rolling toward our Father in Heaven.
He will not let us down. He is the maker of miracles.
God bless you all for being here for little Logan.
