I was out for dinner tonight in Cincy, and our server was at the game - He said Diggs got an Uber with Allen to go to the hospital - I thought it was just Diggs - Very cool in any event!!

2nd graders make cards for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin (wcpo.com)

CINCINNATI — As Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition, students at a Mount Lookout elementary school are hoping to spread some joy and well wishes for Hamlin and his family. Second graders in Beth Martin's class at the Kilgour School broke out their glue stickers, markers and pencils Wednesday to make "get well soon" cards for the 24-year-old.

Huh.  All right I gave him the click.

 

And I thought what he said made so much sense that now I may have trouble visualizing his nose as a tiny penis in future.

 

Go figure.

That's not the Bills youtube page; it's a fake.

Please stop posting it.

Thanks

Just an FYI, it seems they have set up multiple fake accounts that looks like the official Youtube Page for the Buffalo Bills.

 

I have found at least 3 different youtube pages that try to look like @buffalobills official youtube account.

the ESPN reporter the night of the incident only mentioned Diggs (and that he actually had to vouch for Diggs to the policeman or whatever - ha!!!).  So I don’t think Allen was with him, or else he would have been mentioned too for sure.

I'm literally just hoping and praying that he wakes up , able to live life  and sees the countless love that has been shown to him. He's going to be blown away I'm sure

Totally understandable! You were doing the right thing IMO.

Depends on the level of sedation

I think Yolo's meaning was that the hospital and its staff need to tread very carefully about releasing medical information about Damar Hamlin's condition.  Privacy of personal health care information from unauthorized release by physicians, hospitals etc is one of the things HIPAA actually DOES prohibit.

 

The hospital staff updates Damar's family and anyone else he's previously authorized (team rep maybe).  Then they decide what information to release and when

Expand  

Damar's family will make the call on what information we get. No one else.

And with the way things have been happening, anything official will come from the Bills, not the hospital.

I’m glad he’s able to muster up some basic human decency. Call me petty but I refuse to give this DB the satisfaction of a click.  I’m halfway surprised he didn’t somehow try to spin this into another one of his tired “why Josh is inferior” takes. He could be providing the most unique, caring, and eloquent of thoughts and it wouldn’t erase all the BS that is his schtick. 
 

Though, strangely, Brady of all people has earned a few points with me through this ordeal by supporting Damar. Still cannot stand that man, but he was at least tolerable for as long as it took me to get through his related tweets.

Every NFL player looks at Damar Hamlin and thinks "that could have been me."

Knowing Damar is still purposefully sedated as they control his swelling on his chest and lungs, I have questions for those of you who are doctors and specifically neurologists.  Isn’ t it usual that they wait around 2-3 days and then do something like a CT scan to confirm effective brain activity before risking removing him from that sedation and all o2 to make sure he will handle it effectively ? Then probably an MRI looking for further organ impacts at a later time? I am asking this based on experiences I have had with family and friends in traumatic situations and assume any cessation of oxygen must require some evaluation of these factors. Interested in your feedback.

Typically they will continue with the awakening trials that I have discussed, daily. If he isn't having purposeful responses, an EEG may be done to monitor brain activity. However, it should be done with no sedation. This is not ideal in an intubated patient since it is very uncomfortable. But sometimes if there are no responses, you can take off all sedation while the patient is intubated. With no responses, they arent fighting the vent, pulling at tubes/lines, etc. Typically around day 12 they will begin talking about a tracheostomy and PEG tube (tube through abdomen into the stomach) if he isn't responding. Continued intubated can cause damage to the trachea. Hopefully we don't get that far.

 

With all this said, I did see tweets that they said there were positive signs of improvement. This suggests there is some type of response that they've seen.. He should be off hypothermia by now and I'm sure they've done at least one SAT. The positive signs they may be seeing could be reflex response, pain response, movement, or even following commands (i dont think he is there yet based on limited updates).

I could give a rats a$$ about anything that POS says about anything.   All he has ever done was trash the Bills, Allen especially.   Nick Wrong has no business being employed by any network but has made a name for himself creating high click content due to ridiculous takes.  Total A$$ CLOWN.

I don't like the "McDermott is still battling" message.  There was something said about a member of the Bills organization who collapsed from exhaustion and emotion.  I hope that wasn't McD, or that if so, he is able to be resilient.

It could be him. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was… he’s weathered storm after storm (Life and Football) the last 8-12 months. It takes a toll.
 

Being the person everyone looks to is exhausting on it’s own… mix in major events like:
 

Kim Pegula

Topps Shooting

Matt Araiza Rape Allegations 

Luke Knox Passing

Dane Jackson Neck Injury

Micah Hyde Neck Injury

Josh Allen UCL

Von Miller ACL

Game Moved to Detroit Due to Weather

Travel Back to Buffalo on X-Mas Eve Canceled 

Damar Hamlin
 

Everything we know about him says that he won’t give up… the “funny part” is… he created an amazing environment that will support him in the event he is struggling.

3 years ago this week for me, i was involved in gnarly accident. Was struck by a large vehicle, thrown 30 feet, 6-7 surgeries, lost a limb, nasty nasty concussion. I was unconscious for 5 or 6 days.

 

Obviously different physical traumas, but i would guess the public would be surprised how much a victim like that can remember.

 

I didnt remember anything about my accident, where i was/how i got hurt or any of my week in the hospital. Slowly with time, i started getting poloroid snapshots of different moments within that week.

 

Years later i can remember several different clips from that first week.  Will be interesting to see him fully recover and maybe get to watch his perception of his accident grow over the years as he tells the story.

 

I half tried to share my perspective, half needed to vent a little here too. The timing of this so near my anniversary, has made me a little bit more raw this week than in past years. So thanks for that ❤️

Good point that being the one everyone looks to takes a high toll of emotional energy, and that the Bills have gone through A Lot this season.

 

I hope you're correct and that he reaps the reward of having created that environment, if he needs the support himself.  I hope he's OK.  It would certainly be understandable if he's struggling, or temporarily overwhelmed.  But I think the Bills needs him right now, so I hope he's able to tap the inner resources of his Faith and his family, and be present for them.
