NFL star Damar Hamlin in critical condition after cardiac arrest [View all]
The next 12 to 24 hours are critical for Damar Hamlins recovery, doctor says
From CNN's Aya Elamroussi
Damar Hamlins 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.
