The Buffalo Bills have been through a lot since Monday when teammate Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field, but Thursday was filled with positive news about his health and progress.
Hamlin’s doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center reported that “there is a substantial improvement in his condition in the last 24 hours. His neurological condition and function is intact and he is beginning to awaken. His eyes have opened and he has been moving hands and feet.”
Hamlin will remain in intensive care for now, but it was clear that doctors have been encouraged by the way he has been responding. They made sure to mention that he “still has significant progress he needs to make,” but his progress in the last 24 hours “marks a really good turning point in his ongoing care.”
Hamlin responded to questions and commands, and even asked questions of his own. He’s still intubated and on a ventilator, so he hasn’t been able to talk, but he’s been writing questions on paper and pencil.
“One of the first things Hamlin wanted to know: Who won the Monday night game?”
Doctors were adamant that the quick response by Bills and Bengals doctors on the field saved Hamlin’s life and preserved his neurological function. They were by his side less than a minute after he collapsed, gave him immediate CPR, shocked his heart, and continued CPR, all of which were vital to keeping his heart going until he could hook him up to a ventilator.
The Bills shared a less detailed version of the doctors’ report Thursday morning, revealing that Hamlin had seeded “remarkable improvement.” One of his teammates also tweeted that he was awake and showing more signs of improvement.
