There is no news regarding the overnight yet, waiting for that to come in, but there is something else worth addressing here.
In addition to last night's prayer requests, one should be added, that TJ can be relatively comfortable during the extubation.
To extubate they have to take him almost entirely off sedation; TJ will be alert enough to realize that he has a tube going down his throat his mouth, and another down his throat through his nose. He won't like either of these. At. All.
So pray that he can be as comfortable as one can be, as a tube is being yanked out of one's throat. To make matters even better, it will probably take more than one try. I don't know if this mean re-intubating, I suspect rather that it means weaning TJ off the vent and seeing what the sats do until they are ok, but either way it won't be a fun process...
P.S. It is worth noting that they may not be able to wean him off the vent today, that is not abnormal, just painful.

Dear Mary Ann and Family,
"He comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." (II Corinthians 1:4)
"Dear Jesus, comfort TJ in this affliction now as your word promises." Love you all,
Pastor Rich Carlson, Supt. IWD
We'll keep praying.
Love,
Rhonda Reynard
Lord, grant TJ peace of mind and make him as comfortable as possible as the procedure is being done. We pray that his lungs would be able to breathe on their own and they wouldn't need to continue using the machine. May your presence be felt by all in the room today. Amen
Praying...believing.
