Prayers for getting Michael off Vent

Still taking steps to get off the vent.  One step for that is decreasing the sedation, so that means Michael is more restless at least part of the time.  The oxygen percentage he requires is close to where it needs to be, but they also need to decrease more of the pressure that forces air in his lungs.
His bleeding times are normal, but still low platelets.  They may give him dialysis, hopefully just temporary as his kidney function is decreased.
Our prayer requests are for Michael to be able to come off the vent soon and stay off, for the kidney function to improve, need for blood and platelet transfusions to decrease, and for any infections to resolve.
Thank you so much for every prayer.
