The family spokesperson previously corrected information about Damar’s uncle Dorrian Glenn being resuscitated twice. He assured the defender that he only resuscitated once on the field.
On Tuesday night, Uncle Glenn claimed his nephew suffered lung damage. “Right now there’s just trying to get him to breathe better. Right now he’s on a ventilator just to help with the breathing. He’s got a bit of lung damage from yesterday, but he was at 100 per cent on the ventilator helping him breathe, but now he’s at 50 per cent, so that’s a good thing,” Glenn said to a CNN reporter.
He continued, “He is still in ICU and sedated while they continue to administer medical treatment. I am thankful for the staff that have been working with him. My nephew is humble. He is going to be floored by the love. He is a genuine, positive guy from the toy drive to his coaching clinic.”
Is there anything else Jordon Rooney has said?
Jordon expressed the family’s disappointment in the online shaming of Tee Higgins last night. He said, “Damar’s parents were frustrated that Tee was receiving negative backlash, he’s reached out and supported Damar and his family.”
“It’s been incredible, made a tough situation a little bit easier. They’re so grateful, they’re always giving to others, they’re just saying how thankful they are,” he revealed the gratitude of the family to the massive support of the fans nationwide.
