Damar Hamlin - prayers

[C&Jx2]

Yep. As a healthcare professional, sometimes you hate that the facts are there, racing through your head. You fear you will come across as a pessimist. You'd much rather be blissfully unaware! I really really hope his story ends as one of those "remarkable, unheard of recoveries"! His age is smack in the middle of my youngest two kids. So I keep thinking how, in the eyes of his mom..... That's her baby!

I’m a nurse at an acute rehab facility on the TBI floor. I see amazing things happen every day! There is always hope… But like you said, I also know the chances.

I have a friend who had sudden cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia in his 20s. He was in a coma for a while and had to have multiple therapies for a long time but eventually made a full recovery and is a dad now. I'm hoping Damar will be able to do the same.

So thrilled to hear this encouraging update. I'm sure he still has a long road ahead of him, but I really think his age and his physical fitness will work in his favor.

I can only imagine their joy and relief!

This is such great news!

From the physician’s press conference:

Neurological status appears intact. One of the first things he wrote was “who won the game”? Amazing response to so many prayers. Still intubated so communicating by writing on a pad. Cause still unknown. Testing is ongoing.

I just talked with my brother who experienced the cardiac arrest a few years ago. He said coincidentally he had the episode on a Monday and woke up on a Thursday as well. His treatment was the same as Damar’s. He said he was talking to the man who gave him CPR and a friend of that guy was one of the first responders who worked on Damar on the field. (My brother was able to contact the firefighter who saved him and he still runs into him at the gym occasionally.)

The breathing tube has been removed and he is now breathing on his own. He has begun speaking to people including his family and teammates. Amazing news!
