Because this is worth repeating: The next 24 hours (really down to 18 now) could result in a major turning point for TJ. These hours will determine whether he can breathe for himself, or whether he remains on a vent (possibly through a tracheostomy*) .
The critical factors for prayer are:
- Temperature: This needs to stay down, and stay down on it's own (e.g., without Tylenol and a cooling jacket)
- TJ's ability to breathe on his own, without the help of a ventilator
- TJ's ability to cough up the junk that is crowding his lungs, without being re-intubated (NOT a fun experience)
- That the medical staff are vigilant and wise
- That God would continue to heal TJ, above the wisdom of the doctors and the work of the medicine, and that He would make it clear to us that He is working.
You hold us up before the LORD. Please continue to do so.
*Which, amazingly, I hear is actually more comfortable. It is a possibility.

A prayer for TJ...
I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber or sleep.
The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm -
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121
We praise God for the evidence of His hand in TJ's healing so far. We pray His power will be evident in these next 18 or so hours, in bringing further healing and restoration to TJ. We trust Him for all the requests posted... for all of TJ's needs. In the Name of Jesus and for His Glory.
We are continuing to pray for TJ, and share your gratitude for his improvement, and desire for his restoration to health. It is our privilege to join with God's people throughout the day in lifting up TJ and all of you to His care.
"Father, we bless Your name and thank You for Your work in TJ's body. Please continue to show mercy, and heal him according to Your great compassion and strength."
Father we thank you for your many, many blessings for TJ and his family during this challenging time. We humbly ask for healing, your continued protection and guidance of the medical staff. Please grant TJ more than the strength he needs to get through and beyond the next 24 hours of physical changes. In Jesus name.
Thank You Lord that You will let Your ear be attentive to the prayers of Your servants, and to the prayers of Your servants who delight in revering Your name.
Thank your Lord that you will give us success with the specific prayers we pray for TJ, by granting us favor in the presence of men. In the name of Jesus Christ.
Nehemiah 1:11
Lord may You be glorified in the hours and days ahead.
Lord, give wisdom.
Lord, heal TJ's lungs and help him to breathe on his own.
Lord, keep the fever down.
Amen
Just wanted you to know that I was awakened between 3am and 4am tonight to pray for TJ. In my dream, I was actually in the room with you all. I don't know what it all means (if anything), but God does and I hope His sovereign love encourages you today.
Last night I had a dream that I was with you all and there was also an angel in the hospital room whose job was specifically to encourage you and others in your fight for TJ. I continue to stand in continual prayer during this critical 24 hour period.

Continuing to pray, all hours of the day!
