News: Damar Hamlin Injury thread (Breathing Tube Removed!)

[plymkr]

No one knows WHY this occurred. It is too soon for even the doctors to know. The immediate concern is stabilizing Hamlin and saving his life, at least in the short term, meaning the next couple of hours. After that, the doctors need to figure it out. Is it a freak football injury? Is it something in Hamlin’s body that was unknown that was exacerbated by the hit? Or was it related to over exertion? Is there some substance involved?

It isn’t about assigning blame, or pushing an agenda. It is about the doctors quickly making a correct diagnosis, so they can quickly establish a more long term (tomorrow and afterwards) treatment to bring this young man back to health.

Hopefully, his family and the team doctors can help provide the information the hospital needs to help correctly diagnose the problem, and successfully treat him.

IN my life, I distinctly remember 3 players that could have died, MIke Utley, Darryl Stingley, and Ryan Shazier.

Stuff like this gives me hope. Fans of both teams setting aside differences and seeing the bigger picture.

I’ve gained so much respect for Ryan Clark as a commentator and person this evening.

Storms knocked my power out around 7 pm. Friends were texting me about it. Even sent me a video of the play.

Power returned a few minutes ago. I am watching them discuss the matter. I am just dumbstruck. Not sure how any viewers are dealing with this who watched this happen live. It is just surreal to me.

In Jesus mighty name,

There was nothing about the play that looked unusual. Typical play. He just got hit a specific way that caused his heart to stop apparently.

i hope this accurate. Sounds much better than I expected. I feared the worst due to how long as they worked on him on the field.

Love the news that he appears to have been stabilized. Prayers work! I hope the news continues to be positive.

I think the concern now is brain activity. He is not out of the waters yet sadly.

Thank God!! vitals being back to normal sounds encouraging. Sounds very encouraging. Keep praying for the man throughout the night and hoping for the best. Praying for his family too, for emotional strength.

That's the concern. They were there quickly, so hopefully that was the key to him recovering quickly.

Surreal is the best word to describe it.

Watching it live, full speed, nothing unusual about the play, wasn't a big hit, didn't really see what happened. They went to commercial, thinking he got the wind knocked out of him, didn't look serious at the time, it was when they came back and showed the replay........

Best case is that tests reveal normal brain activity. I am a bit worried that the time of low/no oxygen and subsequent breathing issues.
