Does the latest update make them more optimistic

 

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.

  • Simon changed the title to Damar Hamlin - Now "responsive" and "appears to be neurologically intact"

This is great news. Neurologically intact can mean many things, but in general it means he is awake even while on the ventilator, he follows commands such as squeezing hands, and that he is moving all four extremities.  Way way too soon to talk about any cognitive long term issues but this is a major positive sign.

F**king great news!  My impression is lung damage/pulmonary edema is the driving factor now, which should be recoverable.  🙏 🙏 🙏

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

No from the CPR most likely.  It's not like TV. CPR is violent pushing on the chest 

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.

Yes.  It means he has a CPC score of 1 and should go on to live a normal life from a neurological standpoint.  This is GREAT news!  He will survive and continue to be "Damar" as his friends and family know him.
