On Monday night, Damar Hamlin suddenly collapsed during the Buffalo Bills vs the Cincinnati Bangles game after he tackled another player. The emergency medics performed CPR and AED on him for 10 minutes before they were able to get his heart started again. Once they were able to do that, they rushed him to the hospital.
Since then, he has been sedated on a ventilator, and doctors are hoping to get his breathing stats back to 100%. Yesterday, he went from 0 to 50%, and that is an improvement.
This morning, Hamlin’s friend and spokesperson, Jordon Rooney, gave an update to ESPN’sColey Harvey. Rooney said, “We’ve got some positive steps in the right direction. So still has a long ways to go. But in terms of what doctors wanted to see, it’s positive.”
Our prayers are working, so let’s keep praying for him to recover with no permanent damage.
