On Monday night, Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field during the Buffalo Bills vs the Cincinnati Bengals game after he tackled a player. Medics spent 10 minutes trying to get his heart started again, and they were successful.
However, his life was still in danger. When he got to the hospital, they put him on a ventilator. He spent the next two days sedated, but then doctors were able to take him off the sedation. And he was able to communicate via writing, which showed the doctors that his facilities were still there!
All of that was very encouraging. And today, we got even more encouraging news. Doctors took out the tube, and he is breathing on his own. Not only that, but he is able to talk. So, he Facetimed his team and told them, “Love you boys.”
What happened to Hamlin was horrific, but what has come out of it is amazing. He humanized the sport and brought Americans together, and we prayed for his recovery.
Our prayers were able to assist in his miraculous recovery! I can’t wait to see him walk out of that hospital and return to the field. Hopefully, he will be able to surprise us at the Super Bowl. But let’s just take one day at a time!
