After leaving the Cincinnati hospital for Buffalo, Hamlin is getting even more good news: He might soon be released from the hospital altogether.
Hamlin was sedated and on a ventilator for days after his cardiac arrest. On Friday morning, the breathing tube was removed, and Hamlin began walking with some help by that afternoon, his doctors said Monday.
"Super excited that he's back in Buffalo and what a job that the team of docs and the medical team did out in Cincinnati, and now he's in great care here in Buffalo. We're happy to have him back," Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday. "We will all have grown as people, and as men in this case," McDermott said, noting there's a plan in place for the players and staff to visit Hamlin "at the proper time."
Hamlin was "beyond excited" Sunday and felt "very supported by the outpouring of love from across the league, especially from the Buffalo area. We've learned this week that the Bills mafia is a very real thing," Pritts added.The immediate medical response to Hamlin's collapse helped save his life, and the Buffalo Bills are now encouraging people to learn how to administer CPR.
