Extubated!

TJ has just been extubated!

The plan so far is to keep TJ in the ICU for another 24 hours for observation and then move him to a "regular" floor, more or less for more observation.

Also great, the doctors are going to try feed him at noon; TJ was intubated a short enough period they think his gag reflex and whatnot are still fine.

Best, I was actually have to talk to my dad, kinda. It was about 15 seconds -- he does have a face mask on which makes it sound like he is in the middle of a strong wind -- but I did get to hear his voice.

That is all I have right now.

He's probably chanting some kind of mantra under the face mask I would suspect...

The mantra would be "never underestimate the power of my resolve"
