RE: Devon Walker INFO: moves shoulders after surgery
Saw something the other day about another surgery and that he was doing well after it. Not sure what that means but it does appear he had another surgery.
Hopefully this one will help take care of things long term.

Devon spoke with the team via "Face-Time" recently.
http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/201...on_wa.html
“He’s doing fantastic,” Travis said. “He’s doing better than I ever would have thought. He’s in good spirits, laughing, the same old Devon, but he wishes he were here with us. But God has a plan for him and things are going to get better as time goes on.”

U Houston raised over 5K for Devon and a know a lot of other C-USA teams (Tulsa e.g.) did too. Awesome!

Dec. 17, 2012 - Update on Tulane Senior Safety Devon Walker:
On Thursday, Nov. 29, Devon celebrated his 22nd birthday along with some special friends. New Orleans Saints players and coaches visited Devon at his rehab facility and spent time talking and joking with No. 18. Drew Brees, Joe Vitt, Jonathan Vilma, Pierre Thomas, Roman Harper, Malcolm Jenkins, Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Will Smith and Zach Strief were among the visitors.
In the three months since his injury, Devon has worked very hard at his recovery, with his family by his side every step of the way. As a result of his injury, Devon is not yet mobile, but each day he continues the fight to get better.
Despite the fact that his recovery is ongoing, Devon will be home for the holidays.
Devon and his family are deeply appreciative for all the kind words, prayers, gifts and donations that they have received, a sentiment that Devon wants to convey personally to all of his friends and supporters:
"I am so happy to be going home where I can reunite with my family and friends. My family and I are very grateful for the support we continue to receive. Some days, when I think that I just can't do this anymore, remembering my many friends and supporters (both old and new) who are praying for me gives me the strength to go on. I know that my fight is just beginning. Please continue to pray for my recovery. Thank you very much." - Devon Walker
I wish I could embed this first pic of the gang with Devon but Tulane is too worried about their copyrights.

Very classy of the Saints and Tony Gonzalez to visit Devon. I will continue to pray for this young man. Sadly, it looks like a very long road to recover.
