I've been a fan since the 1980s and this is by far my favorite Bills team.  Between the talent level and the character of the players this group is really special.

One of the first things he communicated (via written words) “Did we win?”

These clowns are asking when/if he can play football again. How about we just get the man up to living a normal life before that should even be considered.

Question for our emergency medicine/ICU docs here:  Can he be maintained on a ventilator (if still needed) while conscious?

 

 

Once again, for clarity, I'm not a doctor. But a critical care RN. 

 

Its depends. Its VERY uncomfortable having the endotracheal tube and orogastric tube down your throat. One of the first things most patients do when conducting SAT's is attempt to pull them out. The patient is confused, doesn't know where they are, what all this stuff on them is, etc. We often put patients in restraints during SATs so they don't self-extubate.

 

I have taken care of patients where I have been able to stop all sedation and the patient was absolutely calm, responsive to yes and no questions and could tolerate it. However, if the plan is not to extubate, then you typically continue with light sedation for comfort.

Doctors said his very first question was "did we win". Damar won all our hearts today. His courage and heroic fight will be talked about for years to come. Now let's win a SB for Damar.

😍😍😍

I do love that he asked about the game. I know it's a minor thing but it's something to love about the guy

Thanks Yolo for updating this amazing conference in real time. I'm fortunate enough to be home but most are working.

Awesome to hear that he is responsive and appears to be neurologically intact.  For those that understand medical speak, can anyone comment on what “critically ill” means?  Just trying to keep level expectations of where his health may be at, versus medical risks that may still exist for him.

Basically means that he still meets the conditions to keep him in the critical care unit.

This tweet should be pinned so all of the guessing/theorizing/pretending to know what's going on stops.
