It stopped working. They had to let it go. 

 

What a tremendous relief to hear this positive news.

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!?

That'd be absolutely amazing

I would say so, nuerologically intact means there is no damage to the nerves or vervous system that would otherwise cause a person not to be able to function in a neurological sense, like impaired movement or impaired thought process. It's a medical term, I believe.

Does this mean anything about brain damage? I know theres major concerns there too

[Bills Fan in MD]

Seeing the title change to the thread literally made my entire body relax with a sense of guarded relief after feeling tense straight through since Monday night.

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.

Thanks, that's a great source but I'm not sure if it's the standard of care (NIS) and how you quantify the moderate dysfunction, especially in Damar's case compared to time of discharge.  

[goldenboy81]

Thank you Lord

Keep the good news coming

[Logic]

Incredible news!

"neurologically intact" certainly sounds promising.

Fingers crossed and prayers up for a continued and full recovery.

Denny Kellington is a legend 

I can only imagine the pure joy he and the whole medical staff is feeling.  That man saved a 24 year Olds life. 

[Royale with Cheese]

The stadium is going to erupt on Sunday when he appears on the jumbotron.  You know it's going to happen and I'm going be at a public bar in tears.

Yea brain damage was a concern, best possible outcome 

[Blank Stare]

Absolutely amazing news! I know he’s not completely out of the woods yet, but this is incredible to hear! Keep fighting Damar!

I would imagine this means no brain damage. They had a doctor on First Take, and they have said they would only use that term if the patient could move all their extrematies and was able to understand commands.

[Bob in STL]

Amazing and wonderful news.  It just changed how I feel today.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Have to admit I’m crying some happy tears right now.

[PrimeTime101]

💗 Oh My, Ty Ty Ty Lord, please heal his lungs so he can have a healthy full life

[The Frankish Reich]

Fantastic news. Of course we don’t know what challenges he still faces, but there’s life, there’s hope, and there’s no sense in being “guardedly” optimistic. I choose to be optimistic without putting any of my own uninformed timelines on his recovery.

Letssssss gooooo!!! Amazing news!

[ndirish1978]

Praise be. The persistent knot in my stomach just went away. Simply wonderful news.

If he has recognition of family and such it would suggest his brain function may be oK.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Best news I've heard all day. It's about as much as we could have asked for

[nedboy7]

What a weight lifted. So happy to hear. 

[Real McClappy]

So damn happy to see this news right now. I've been just following the injury thread the last few days as I don't have it in me to post. 

 

Seeing the title change makes my ***** week somewhat better already.  I've honestly slept like complete crap since Monday night and hope this starts to change. 

 

Next up - 100% recovery and seeing Hamlin on the field in a Bills uniform again someday.

INCREDIBLE!!!

Prayers, recovery, blessings on you Damar!

[BIGFOOTspaceman]

Really great news....I've been waiting on an update concerning his neurological status.  Very, very encouraging.  

[Draconator]

I know there's a swear filter here, but I'm going to say it anyways. You'll be able to figure it out.

 

I AM SO ***** RELIEVED!!!!!

if it were ever possible, a pre-recorded video of a “thumbs up” from the Hospital just before introductions Sunday…

Since Bills Mafia is becoming a legendary fundraising force, can we find something that funds and promotes free CPR classes and send $3 donations in honor of Denny Kellington?

[stevestojan]

Appreciate all you praying types. Really. 

[LabattBlue]

Good news.  👍🏻

A little note of caution.  What “neurologically intact” probably means in this medical context is they brought him out of sedation, and started talking to him and asking him to respond.  Questions to respond with a blink or hand squeeze if he can feel touch on hands and feet, move hands and feet.

 

They may have disconnected the vent and trialed if he could breathe on his own.  “Lungs continue to heal” may mean that he’s still on the ventilator.  
 

Again like having a pulse as he left the field, it’s good.  It’s very very good.  It beats the hell out of the alternative.  
 

Ir’s a very very very good sign, but at this point may not go as far as “no impairment” to physical or mental abilities.  But 60 hrs post event this is fantastic progress

[PaattMaann]

I cant even explain how much better I feel and I didn't even know the man. WOW! Imagine how his family, our players and coaches feel right about now. WOW!

Same.  Even from a non-religious standpoint, I appreciate the medical miracle here.  Only within the last couple decades does a human being stand a chance at surviving this.
