    I don’t want to have to play the Chargers.  Our D doesn’t match up well.

     

    I actually disagree.  They are more scheme based which a DC/HC can scheme against.

     

    I dont fear their weapons because speed isnt a major factor.

     

    I actually hate playing the dolphins, at least during this regular season, because they have speed everywhere and scheme can't stop speed really.  Playoffs, without Tua, and banged up, I am less worried.

    Pretty shocking news from his uncle says the doctors had to resuscitate him twice. Once on the field and once at the hospital. Praying 🙏 for Damar!

    From my understanding, it was when he first was administered into the hospital.  

     

    Then they intubated him and put him in a coma.

    I am sorry for your loss, and clearly you went into a situation that is similar, where once the patient is in medical care, the family has no choice but to wait and pray for the best outcome while the hours tick by.

     

    Medically, and I think this is important to note, this is NOT the same situation as your brother experienced, in a number of critical aspects.  I mean no disrespect, but this is a fraught time with everyone combing the interwebs for scraps of information, so I think it's important to point this out.

     

    ok....

     

    It is similar in that the same tests are being done. Intubated and induced coma with cooling of the body after breathing stopped, CPR started, and the help of breathing.  After 24 hours they will try and take him to see if his body/brain are able to be stable on its own.

     

    But sure, keep trying to out smart someone on the interwebs....

    ESPN just now reported from a reporter outside the hospital. The reporter has been talking to doctors leaving the hospital. One doctor is saying we won't hear anything for 24 hours after the event because they sedate the patient and cool the body to preserve brain function. Then after 24 hours, they will begin to wake the patient. The doctor said he has seen many of the cases like what Hamlin suffered, and the prognosis is good. 

     

    Last August 2021 (feels like yesterday at times), My family went through this exact situation with my younger brother who stopped breathing in the early AM due to swelling in his spinal cord caused by a recent emergency neck surgery that they needed to put disks in.  He also had sleep apnea.  So the combination caused him to stop breathing and the Ambulance was called. Unfortunately, CPR was not started until minutes after the 911 called..  and he was then intubated and induced into a coma so they can allow the body/brain to heal, etc.. 24 hours had to go by before the next test.

     

    Tonight, when they take Damar out of the induced coma, they are hoping his body can remain stable from a functioning standpoint, heart beating, lungs, etc.  

    My brother, had seizures immediately upon waking up, so they had to put him back into a coma and run a brain scan.  That is when we found out he was considered to have no brain activity and as a family decided to let him go.  

     

    Last night, seeing the players/coaches/this feed, made memories come flooding back.  It was a difficult night for us all but I can only hope his family stays positive and no matter what happens, to remember what Damar would have wanted in all of this.

     

    I hope he comes out unscathed and he can be with his family for the foreseeable future.
