You may not be the one to do this, but have y'all thought about reaching out to Extreme Home Makeover? Seems like a perfect project for them...

And yeah, I know it's cancelled, but they still do holiday projects.

New Article on Devon

This kid is my hero. I happened to stumble upon this article earlier today. A very good read. Devon can wiggle his toes and move his shoulders.

Devon Continues to improve

Devon Walker rehabs at Touro Hospital, constantly working to get better and regain more motion. He has full function through his shoulders, his mother said, and he can sense touch, but he can't move his arms or legs yet.

Walker has regained slight movement in his fingers within the past 2-3 weeks.

I thought I read somewhere that he's going to work in the football office and break down recruiting film. There may be some NCAA limitation on that, I don't know...perhaps he'd be considered a coach.

Updates: conditions are always improving but with any SCI it takes an immense amount of time and PT. He is participating actively with events and athletics on campus and continues to have a shining and wonderful attitude. Unfortunately with any major trauma, healing is slow.

How is he doing in pursuit of his degree? I know he had a real bright future in his field of study.

He's back in class this semester. There will be a feature on him on ESPN's gameday on Saturday. Here's the trailer.

The segment takes about 6:45 minutes to watch and is well worth the time. It's available on ESPN website as of earlier today, and includes brief film-footage of Devon getting ready for the game against Tulsa, which was exactly one year ago today: 8 September 2012.

Great spotlight shown on Devon tonight during the College Football Awards Show. He received the Spirit Award. I don't often get teary eyed but man his story is moving. Best of luck to him in his long road to recovery.

Devon Walker INFO: moves shoulders after surgery
Cringed a little bit durning the NOLA Bowl when Jordan Sullen was out cold on the field following a head injury and the whole stadium was hushed -- ESPN stuck a camera right in Devon's face as he sat there in his wheelchair with a single tear on his cheek. Compelling TV, yes. Maybe a tad exploitative though.

Glad Jordan was ok in the end. Scary moment for the whole Tulane team, with flashbacks to Devon's injury in Tulsa.
