Devon is back at Tampa General Hospital and being treated for an infection. The infection in her right foot is pretty bad from lack of blood flow and she will be facing further amputation on her feet.

“Call in a favor, pray, beg, borrow or steal whatever it is you do. She could use whatever it is you got. She is scared but trying to stay as strong as she can. She is a tough cookie but enough is enough”  says her husband Brandon. More information on her condition will be available later today.

Devon’s family is asking for magazines and book donations to keep her mind busy during this difficult time.

Another update….First, thank you to everyone who chipped in for gift cards and flowers and magazines in Friends of Fishhawk. You don’t know how much that helps us. I went in Tampa General Hospital with a 104 fever a week ago and I just got home. All ten of my toes and part of both my feet were amputated. Everything was ok, until I tried to come home. Walking is torturous with no toes at all. They have a home nurse coming in everyday to teach me, but I haven’t seen them. I will heal. I appreciate everyone supporting my family and my cause.

Thank you to EVERYONE who came to The Tea Cup function and supported it. April Paleveda Curcio, Debbie Cook Eisenberg, Kelly Glenn Rowjohn and my mother put it all together and made it happen again. I heard about all of you that came and surprised me...

Devon Cooley Carver is back in the hospital. She was admitted last week with a high fever. As a result of an infection, she has had more surgery. The doctors had to take the remaining toes and about an inch of her actual foot. She seemed to be in fairly good spirits, but she will be in the hospital for a while. Her husband Brandon Michael Carver is trying to work, be at the hospital every hour that he isn’t working, and taking care of their son David.

Just a quick update, Devon’s surgery went well on Friday. The doctor was happy with how well she handled the actual surgery. They handled the couple problem toes but didn’t have to cut into her lower foot section at all. She came out of recovery very late on Friday night and has been very groggy for the last couple days. She appreciates all the thoughts and well wishes, I know this is going to be a tough thing for her to get through, but know that I am here to help her through her journey as I always am. She is surely the strongest person I have ever met. -Brandon

“Okay, I was asked to put up an update on my health by several people and I decided I didn’t want to do it because I didn’t want people feeling sorry for me, but here it is after I have told the story 40 times already.

Several weeks ago, they put the catheter in my groin and pet at stint in my left leg to get the blood moving better. My feet and legs had streaking pain and they thought this would

In September 2012, Tampa resident Devon Carver received the great gift of all – the gift of life!

Devon’s life was changed with a double organ transplant (Kidney/Pancreas). Unfortunately, Devon’s body has rejected her new kidney. Devon is now, once again, back on dialysis fighting for her life. You can now help Devon and her family.

By donating your time, money, products, goods or services you can help with Devon’s current and future expenses as she continues her battle.
