Signs of progress were made overnight in the health of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, doctors informed his family.
Hamlin, 24, remains sedated in ICU in critical condition, Glenn said. He offered thanks and shared gratitude from the entire family for the support they’ve received from the all corners of the world. Glenn said he now needs Hamlin to get a chance to feel that love for himself.
“He’s going to be in disbelief. He shows so much love and so much compassion. He’s always coming through and trying to have a positive impact. A lot of people don’t get to see how loved they are while they’re alive,” Glenn said. “So for him to have a situation where he could have been taken away and he has a chance to come back and see all that love that he got.”
Glenn said Hamlin’s heart stopped twice — once on the field after collapsing Monday night and later that night at UCMC — and he was resuscitated both times. Hamlin collapsed in the first quarter of Monday’s game at Cincinnati. The safety closed from the middle of the field to tackle Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and went to the ground on the forceful collision. After briefly getting to his feet, Hamlin collapsed as teammates and medical personnel came to his aid.
Emergency personnel administered CPR for several minutes on the field and “they had to hit him with the defibrillator,” Glenn said.Share this article in your social network
