Damar Hamlin - Now (1/11/2023) discharged from Buf Gen & “recovering at home”

[GustheDog33]

Amazing.  So thankful to hear. Shoutout to all who have played a role in his recovery.  Amazing job!  As a former resident of Cincinnati, I knew US Med Center would work their magic!

[Taro Nimbus]

So he can play this week?  Lol.    I’m kidding!!  this is great news!   Still a long way to go, but this is very encouraging news!

My father was black and blue from his neck to his kneecaps after he awoke following CPR, sedation, cooling, intubation,etc. - CPR is a very violent act to the body.

 

My first aid instructor said you're very likely to break the person's ribs while doing CPR, small price to pay though.

 

I'd love to see the look on Damar's face when they tell him how much money was raised for his charity! Great news!

[HopelessNJBuffaloFan]

WOOOO WOOOT!!!! Great news on #3!!!!

[KingBoots8]

Couldn’t be happier to hear this. Let’s go Damar!!!

[davspo]

The power of prayer.  God is good my friends.  A lot of remarkable people made this happen.  Let this be an example of the good in the human race. 

[Success]

This is so amazing to hear.  

 

[BRH]

I tend to compartmentalize so I haven't been overly emotional yet, but now I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks.  It was @Bills!Win!'s "Heyyy-eyy-ey-eyy" that did it.

 

Let's hope for continued good news.

[Greg S]

A special thank you to the first responders and medical staff of both teams as well as the hospital staff. They are the real heroes in all of this.

The power of medical science and learned and knowledgable first responders is pretty awesome too.

[WideRightRevenge]

What a fighter ... keep healing up Damar!  Still Praying for #3!

[PayDaBill$]

Phenomenal news. 

[extrahammer]

This is such incredibly great news. Talking with two of my friends, one a neuroscientist and the other a neurosurgeon, the odds of even a decent recovery were slim. Incredible update and hopefully he continues to improve.

Another stupid question - does "neurologically intact" mean that there will be no long term negative effects on brain function?

Great question, and I don't truly know the scope of what it means.  Certainly critical autonomic functions and gross measures of brain activity/responsiveness.

 

Physicians/neurologists would be best to answer this question.

Yes. I've spoken to people who have either performed or witnessed real life CPR.  It isn't like the movies/TV.  It's brutal.

[theRalph]

I cannot imagine anything that would empower this Bills team more than learning of Damar's remarkable progress. God Bless Damar, who just may end up being the MVP of SB LVII.

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

was hoping to hear some positive news today. no matter how long, just this news alone brings much hope going forward in the young mans recovery process.

 

thoughts continue to be with Damar, his family and all his brothers in red, white and blue.

[NewEra]

🙏🏻 ❤️ 💙 🙏🏻 

[BillsFanSD]

Great news coming from the physicians treating him.  Very glad to hear this, obviously.

[JerseyBills]

Yes! Thank God. He's going to be overwhelmed with love he has gotten all over the world 

I'm sure the mood changed drastically at 1 Bills drive and they're ecstatic at this news

[Freddie's Dead]

I'm not crying, you're crying!

[Ray Stonada]

I’M NOT CRYING!

 

Ok, I am crying.

 

YOU GOT THIS DAMAR

 

YES!!!!

[Demongyz]

Thank God!!

 

Now keep going Damar!

Agree.  Prayers up the progress continues but could you imagine the emotion if he is able to be well enough to be on sideline or something this year!?

[The Red King]

Amazing news!

If things keep progressing as they have, I'd think there's a good chance he's able to attend a Bills Super Bowl win.

Yep, I can tell you from personal job experience that you can see the bluish color change back to flush or pink just by doing CPR.  I definitely wanted to dovetail with others have said and encourage everyone to be CPR-certified.  It could be the difference.

[SCBills]

Lets gooooo!!!!!!

[muppy]

will somebody pass me some  kleenex already 💙

 

My reaction to this news? Yaaaaaaassssssssss!~!~!!! Praise God!

Denny Kellington is a legend

I can still remember the Penn State game when Adam Taliaferro jogged onto the field after suffered a spinal cord injury and made a remarkable recovery. It was one of the most memorable sports moments I have witnessed.   I can't wait until the day that Damar has beat this and is introduced either in person or on the big screen.   Just putting it out there, I will be bawling like a baby.

Apparently there are gradations from 1-5: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCHEARTFAILURE.108.828095

 

1 and 2 are considered "neurologically intact." 1 is no effects, and 2 is moderate dysfunction. Non-NIS categories are 3, 4, and 5.

[UKBillFan]

The relief to see the change of thread title and then to find the original tweet. Very positive news, albeit with some way to go.

Before they introduce the Bills lineup for the game Sunday, they should introduce the medical staff who saved this young man’s life.

Why don't we have a heart emoji?
