Some great news on the Damar Hamlin situation.
The Buffalo Bills safety who suffered from cardiac arrest on Monday night after making a tackle on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, no longer needs a breathing tube, and was speaking to various teammates on Facetime this morning.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport shared:
“This is amazing: For the first time, Bills S Damar Hamlin is addressing the team via Facetime.
The breathing tube is out, and he’s spent the morning speaking to various teammates on Facetime.
Now, he’s delivering a message to the entire group, I’m told.”
After watching this unfold on live TV, this is awesome news, considering Hamlin had to be resuscitated twice following the terrifying situation.
Hamlin has made some significant strides over the past couple of days.
First, we learned that he was “neurologically intact:”
“Amazing news: Buffalo Bills announce Damar Hamlin is neurologically intact. He is showing extremely positive signs toward recovery from critical condition due to cardiac arrest.”
And yesterday, we learned that he was able to write messages to the doctors, as he still had the breathing tube in.
And the first thing he asked was:
“Did we win?”
The doctors responded:
“Yes, you won the game of life.”
Although we continue to receive great news on Hamlin, please continue to keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
