Buffalo's Damar Hamlin has breathing tube removed, FaceTimes teammates

Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the field Monday night, has been in critical condition at University of Cincinnati Hospital, here here's some positive news:

Buffalo Bills @BuffaloBills · Follow Damar Hamlin FaceTimed into our team meeting today to talk to players and coaches.

What he said to the team: “Love you boys.” ❤️

More:

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.

Truly a miracle. Thank God for more-than-competent, and well-trained first responders on the field!

Prayers answered,

Damar Hamlin is blessed; it’s not his time to go, for what purpose God Will reveal to him. Prayers being answered.

well done by the Bill’s trainers and then EMT’s. Looks like they got to him in time.

Yup. Same guy who just knows it’s a vaccine problem. The amount of kookery with the true believers is sometimes breathtaking

Most experts called this what is was R on T almost immediately. I knew of Jo experts who had him dead. At least real experts.

I just listened to an hour and a half press conference.
He is doing great.

Ill bet you think there’s nothing wrong with Damar Hamlin that another covid booster won’t cure either. 😉

There is nothing in this article saying anything about whether it was or wasn’t vax related.

Jump up and down because this young man survived, but don’t take a bow because this doesn’t give us any clues what really happened to this guy.

I am not a football fan, particularly not an NFL fan, but I am very glad to hear that this young man’s life has been spared from the grasping hands of the Angel of Death. Hopefully, he will continue to improve and eventually resume his interrupted life. Thanks is due to G-d.

I wonder if some of the players who knelt in prayer for him were some of the same ones who took a knee in support of Kaepernick.

There was a misunderstanding. Hamlin was only resuscitated one time and that was on the field.

I think several of us no only called the timeline but the diagnosis ok mindshare might. You don’t get to change something that is easily researchable. The diagnosis was obvious with the high def video. And it goes to prove that lengths to which true believers will go to advance their agenda.

As I said yesterday the silence of the apologies to the actual experts around here is deafening.

Do you always jump at the chance to be the turd in the punch bowl?

Well, Steve Kirsch is considered by some here on Free Republic to be a reliable expert on all things.

“Steve Kirsch’s newsletter: The most likely scenario is that Damar Hamlin was brain dead on the field”

They have a right to be wrong. Pray they are learning from this event.

Not at all, the same thing happened to me 2 years ago. They know what happened but are not saying for a reason. They went completely through my heart while I was in coma and found nothing wrong with it.

Why are they not giving heart details? Is there myocarditis?
