When Bills safety Damar Hamlin awoke from a medically induced sedation Wednesday night, he asked who won the Buffalo-Cincinnati game on “Monday Night Football.”
“We’ve discussed with him what happened. He’s not quite at the point where we can have a conversation because of the breathing tube,” Pritts continued. “He is communicating with brief notes and shaking and nodding of the head. He expressed surprise that he hasn’t been with the world for two days and we talked to him about all the support that’s been showed for him.”
Dr. William Knight, the hospital’s director of emergency medicine, confirmed reports that Hamlin is holding people’s hands. Bills safety Damar Hamlin is attended to by medical personnel after going into cardiac arrest on Jan. 2, 2023.“There’s been substantial improvement in his condition over the past 24 hours,” Pritts said. “We had significant concern about him after the injury and after the event that happened on the field, but he’s making substantial progress. As of this morning, he is beginning to awaken, and it appears that his neurological condition and function is intact.
The doctors repeatedly said that Hamlin continued to be critically ill, and that the immediate goal is to get him to breathe on his own, without the assistance of a ventilator. When asked what caused Hamlin to suffer cardiac arrest on the field, Pritts said, “That workup is ongoing. We do not have definitive answers. Tests will be ongoing as he continues to progress.”
