NFL star Damar Hamlin in critical condition after cardiac arrest

The next 12 to 24 hours are critical for Damar Hamlin’s recovery, doctor says
From CNN's Aya Elamroussi

Damar Hamlin’s recovery could depend on how long he was in cardiac arrest after he collapsed mid-game Monday night, Dr. Anthony Cardillo, an emergency room specialist, told CNN early Tuesday morning.

The primary concern is the length of time that he was not having cardiac activity,” Cardillo said. “Every second counts.”

"We know that he's a young 24, healthy, conditioned athlete. He's in the greatest possible situation to come back to a normal life at this point, but our prayers are with him to make sure he does recover like that,” Cardillo said.

Let's hope this young man fully recovers, that was and still is quite scary what happened. Thank goodness the players were not made to finish that game.

he had a successful tackle, got up quickly, and fell backwards, and did not move. It was chilling, and the fans, team mates, even the opposing team was in total shockville, and I can't imagine what his family felt.

24 and had a cardiac arrest.
