Amazing.  So thankful to hear. Shoutout to all who have played a role in his recovery.  Amazing job!  As a former resident of Cincinnati, I knew US Med Center would work their magic!

My father was black and blue from his neck to his kneecaps after he awoke following CPR, sedation, cooling, intubation,etc. - CPR is a very violent act to the body.

 

My first aid instructor said you're very likely to break the person's ribs while doing CPR, small price to pay though.

 

I'd love to see the look on Damar's face when they tell him how much money was raised for his charity! Great news!

The power of prayer.  God is good my friends.  A lot of remarkable people made this happen.  Let this be an example of the good in the human race.

I tend to compartmentalize so I haven't been overly emotional yet, but now I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks.  It was @Bills!Win!'s "Heyyy-eyy-ey-eyy" that did it.

 

Let's hope for continued good news.

A special thank you to the first responders and medical staff of both teams as well as the hospital staff. They are the real heroes in all of this.

The power of medical science and learned and knowledgable first responders is pretty awesome too.

This is such incredibly great news. Talking with two of my friends, one a neuroscientist and the other a neurosurgeon, the odds of even a decent recovery were slim. Incredible update and hopefully he continues to improve.

Another stupid question - does "neurologically intact" mean that there will be no long term negative effects on brain function?

Great question, and I don't truly know the scope of what it means.  Certainly critical autonomic functions and gross measures of brain activity/responsiveness.

 

Physicians/neurologists would be best to answer this question.

Yes. I've spoken to people who have either performed or witnessed real life CPR.  It isn't like the movies/TV.  It's brutal.

I cannot imagine anything that would empower this Bills team more than learning of Damar's remarkable progress. God Bless Damar, who just may end up being the MVP of SB LVII.

was hoping to hear some positive news today. no matter how long, just this news alone brings much hope going forward in the young mans recovery process.

 

thoughts continue to be with Damar, his family and all his brothers in red, white and blue.
