Michael continues progressing. His stats have been relatively stable all day and so the medical team decided to extubate Michael. The tube, which has been in his windpipe since surgery so that he could be on the respirator, was removed. This was certainly very uncomfortable, but Super Mick is handling it well. He's currently receiving oxygen through a mask. As his lung function is monitored, the doctor's will determine whether to put him on a CPAP to help with respiration or to slowly wean him off of the oxygen.

This is a tough transition, but it's a good sign that he did not need to be re-intibated right away. Keep those prayers and good thoughts coming that Michael's lungs will clear quickly and function well.
