Buffalo Bills @BuffaloBills · Follow Per the physicians at UCMC, Damar’s breathing tube was removed overnight. He continues to progress remarkably in his recovery.
His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team. 9:10 AM · Jan 6, 2023
From OutKick:
Damar Hamlin is awake, alert, moving, and – perhaps most significantly – talking. Hamlin's breathing tube was removed Friday for the first time since he's arrived at the hospital, and the Buffalo Bills' safety spent the morning talking with teammates and addressing the entire team via FaceTime.
I can't imagine the joy and relief of his teammates. They have to be thankful for the recovery so far.
According to doctors, Hamlin woke up neurologically intact, could move his hands and feet, and the first thing he asked via writing (he couldn't speak because of the tube) was if the Bills had won Monday's game.
This young man, from all accounts, is a remarkable and kind guy, But he's also a baller. Asking who won the game as your first concern? What a competitor. He cares about his teammates.
Friday's update is perhaps the most significant. According to the Bills' Twitter account, Hamlin's breathing tube was removed overnight and he's been able to talk with his family and with the team.
It's so encouraging to see this update from the doctors and from the Bills.
In the press conference from the hospital yesterday, doctors credited the Bills training staff and the individual who immediately administered CPR for saving Damar's life.
The NFL first suspended and then ultimately declared the game between the Bills and Bengals a no-contest, and the league has come up with a proposal on AFC playoff seedings that could include a neutral site AFC title game.
Owners will meet and vote on the proposal in a special session at noon today.
Prayers are being answered. Continue to pray for Damar's continued healing.
NFL PING!..............
I hope all those teammates who prayed for him realize their prayers were answered and consider their lives in conjunction with the Almighty who gave some grace to their companion.
Great news for the young man and his family. Here’s hoping he’s back on his feet and home soon.
Great news!
Just a second...I read on FR that he would be kept on life support until “they” get the story straight and then the death would be announced....
Good news for Friday.
Praise God!
Luke 1:37: “For nothing will be impossible with God.” Praise His Holy Name!
AMEN!.....................
!!!!!!!!!
I am happily surprised he is doing well.
Truly a miracle. Thank God for more-than-competent, and well-trained first responders on the field!
AMEN!.........................
This continues to be an amazing and wonderful recovery. Keeping up my prayers!
A miracle! Thank you Lord!
The FaceTime was probably AI generated.
I read the same thing. I was surprised to see that someone, a FReeper no less, would use those terms. We are better than this.
This is a pretty amazing turnaround.
Truly a miracle. 😁😁😁😁😁
