This doesn't mean a whole lot. A normal BP and HR after a code is good news, but a normal BP and HR while maxed on Levo, epi, dopamine, etc ain't great. Without a very detailed report (which you aren't gonna get tonight), there isn't a whole lot I would expect to understand tonight. Even at the bedside, it's probably too early to know anything. Best to put the phone down for the night and wait til tomorrow at the absolute earliest.

Even then, if he's initiating spontaneous breaths and vitals are normal with minimal to no med control, it's going to be hard to see what his mental state will be after being anoxic for that long until he's off the sedation. It'll be days at the earliest before you even begin to make out the big picture.

True, but it’s the only real update thus far, so figured I’d post it

Let me translate for you:

He's intubated, likely with supportive measures to maintain pressures and rhythm, and they're checking for signs of organ damage.

Like Tyche said, stable vitals is a very broad term.

I'm sure no one wants to talk about it, but people are def thinking about it...wonder how this week's games are gonna be managed.

I'd think they'll shoot for a Wednesday or Thursday Bills v Bengals game with a Sunday night or Monday night Bills v Pats and Bengals v Ravens double header.

Both those games are going to be integral to the AFC playoff race and seeding, so those two games are going to be desirable prime time games regardless.

I've seen some really nasty shit coming out of Cheifs fans on my time lines tonight.

yeah i assume they'll play weds/thurs. i think the bills coach saw the state his guys were in and thought his guys could injure themselves or a bengal if they played tonight so he noped out for everyones general safety

a couple days later, even if the worst happens, is a different scenario

I'm guessing they saw he was unresponsive and pulseless. As training staff, I can't imagine the panic that sets in. 24 years old, tens of millions of eyes on you, there's no amount of age and experience that would prepare you for that.

I know, shit timing, etc, but I have Bengals wildcard round tickets I want to sale Heady. Section 139 (40 yd line). I have 2 tix on row 4 and 2 tix on row 8.

Might be interested. DM or message me on FB

A third of those Twitter replies are people asking his vax status.

I think Steelers(?) need Buffalo to play week 18 as well, so I'm sure that circle will have some fantastic takes too lol

No news is not great news in this case I'm assuming...

Really? I've seen some really positive things.

Regarding the schedule, one option being floated around is giving the entire league a bye week this weekend and have the Bills/Bengals finish the game this coming Monday since there’s no more MNF. The Super Bowl will stay the same but the pro-bowl week would be dropped.

Obviously this brings up all kinds of crazy collateral issues with a ton of teams, but there’s no real solution for the sake of player safety. You can’t have the Bills/Bengals back on Thursday/Friday and then have them play again with another ridiculously short turn around.

I usually tell families the opposite. No news probably means not better, not worse. Him making it through the night without coding again (very common in post-code) or going into any emergent procedures likely means he's stable (by critical care standards).

I wouldn't look for a whole lot about what happened overnight. The only goal last night would have been hemodynamic stability and testing for any very immediate concerns (bleeds). He probably had some quick and dirty CT scans of the head, chest, and maybe abdomen to ensure he wasn't bleeding out from somewhere. Other than that, today will probably be a battery of tests if they feel he's stable enough for transport and worth the risk. Codes in the radiology department don't tend to go well. CTAs, MRIs, EEG, Echocardiogram. Those will help determine causes and potential treatments. If they do an EEG and see brain activity, that's a good sign, but not an assurance his Neuro function will fully return. His goals will be day-to-day and not long term at the moment. Him simply walking out of a hospital (be it this one or a rehab facility) is a distant concern and should be considered a best case scenario for him right now.

It has to be played within 2 days from last night. I'm guessing you're gonna see a Wednesday/Sunday turnaround, which isn't any different than a Sunday/Thursday turnaround. It sucks, a lot, especially for going into the final week and playoffs with all the affected games having playoff implications. But extraordinary times, extraordinary measures.

It'll be hard to move their games to Monday night with the CFP title game on.

His toy drive GoFundMe is now up to about 4 million dollars. It was $4,000 before the game. Some of the public donations are really interesting, you of course have other NFL players but then you have people like Rudy Giuliani. Chris Jericho donated 10,000.
