If he was resuscitated right away.

I do wish they would give more info, even as i understand the family's need for privacy.

Although if it took more than 3 minutes or so to get started, it could be too late for his brain health.

I would consider that him to be in oxygen deficit when he went down....He was running and would need more, immediate oxygen from the exertion... So, when he went down, he was already deprived with a great demand for oxygen..

That might explain it. Poor guy.

They also restarted his heart with a defibrillator during that time.

I don't know how long it was between the cardiac event and the beginning of CPR. But with trained medical professionals watching the game and running to him - I'll bet it wasn't more than 1-2 minutes.

The goal was $2500, after all. I hope the charity has plans for all this money besides buying toys.

Too much money is a great problem.

The hospital has yet to make ANY official statement or hold a news conference. Only ones talking are non-immediate family members or friends.

If the family wants to share information - that's legal. Hospitals should never say anything other than "critical" "serious" or "fair" condition. I am presuming the Uncle is hearing information from Damar's doctors.

It seems like normally a hospital would comment on his condition and if he was improving, when it’s a news story this big. Unless they’re being told not to.

It just makes me fear that he is really not improving to any significant extent. Wouldn’t they want to ease people’s fears with positive developments and outlook?

Some medical speculation here: https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/04/football/damar-hamlin-collapse-bills-status-wednesday/index.html

There's been a lot of, "THIS WAS THE VACCINE!" BS going around the internet about his unfortunate incident.

No one knows what caused his cardiac arrest.
