Most recently on Tuesday evening, a positive step in Hamlin’s progress was announced by Hamlin’s uncle. According to him, Hamlin was still intubated but the oxygen level the 24-year-old is receiving is now at a rate of 50 percent assistance. That’s down from 100 percent when he originally arrived at the hospital, which is a sign of improved breathing.
That does not mean Hamlin is fully recovered as he still has a ways to go, but any positive news is welcomed.
The 24-year-old was stated to be in critical condition originally after he suffered cardiac arrest on Monday during a NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Hamlin’s road to recovery continues UC Medical Center in Cincy.
