Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has begun to communicate in writing with his family and others who have been at his bedside since he went into cardiac arrest three days ago - and his first question was, “Did we win?” his doctors said Thursday.
“The answer is yes, Damar, you won. You've won the game of life.” Dr. Timothy Pritts told reporters in a conference call from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where Hamlin was rushed after collapsing and being resuscitated on the field during the Bills' game against the Bengals on Monday night.
“His first question that he wrote when he started to awaken was, 'Did we win?′” Pritts said. “So we know that it's not only that the lights are on. We know that he's home. And it appears that all the cylinders are firing within his brain, which is greatly gratifying for all of us.” The developments came as the Bills returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since Hamlin collapsed when his heart stopped after making a tackle during the game's first quarter.
Pritts said during the conference call that neurological signs of improvement began Wednesday night as Hamlin gradually woke up, with the rest of his body healing. Hamlin still cannot speak because of a breathing tube in his throat.He said a physician was by Hamlin's side within a minute of him collapsing and recognized that the defensive back did not have a pulse. Knight said Hamlin required CPR and resuscitation on the field.
Along with being able to write, his doctors said Hamlin was able to hold the hands of family and members of the Bills' administrative and medical teams at his bedside. Over the past few days, players across the league - both former teammates and those who didn't know Hamlin until Monday - have rallied in support.
