On the evening of November 9th, 2025, around 8:30 pm, Tamra faced one of the most critical chapters of her young life. Post-surgery updates reveal a story of resilience, expert medical care, and the unwavering support of those who love her.
Tamra’s vitals are stable, and although she is sedated and breathing with the assistance of a ventilator, she is being carefully monitored by an ICU team dedicated to her recovery. Her sedation was adjusted from ketamine to fentanyl to manage her blood pressure, yet she continues to handle pain with remarkable strength.

The abdominal surgery went as planned. Her abdomen is now closed, sewn up, and covered with a clean dressing. Before closing, doctors carefully examined all her internal organs, confirming that they were in good condition. A small metal fragment was found in her diaphragm, but the surgical team is confident it is not a cause for concern and will assess it further with upcoming scans.
The surgery involved critical work on Tamra’s legs. Her left leg was amputated just above the knee, with the end of the femur carefully filed and the thigh muscles skillfully attached to the bone. Every detail of the procedure was performed with precision and care to optimize her recovery. During the same operation, the
femoral neck at her hip was braced with a plate and screws, a step the surgeon described as routine but crucial, highlighting their confidence given years of experience with similar procedures.

Her right leg remains in a brace while awaiting a CT scan to assess a plateau fracture just below the knee. Once Tamra’s condition stabilizes, doctors plan to proceed with a simple, quick surgery to repair it. The ICU team is continuously monitoring her vitals and coordinating scans tonight and early tomorrow to ensure every step is safe and effective.
Tamra’s heart health was another focus of the day. She had been given amiodarone to stabilize a dangerously high heart rate caused by tachycardia, likely triggered by the extreme tissue damage in her left leg. Following surgery, the drip dosage was reduced, and her heart rate has now stabilized around 80 beats per minute. Her fever has broken, marking a positive milestone in her recovery.

Blood loss during the amputation was expected, but she was promptly transfused in the operating room, and her levels were stabilized by the end of surgery. Every aspect of today’s procedures, from complex amputations to heart management, represents a
major hurdle successfully overcome, and her care team remains vigilant as they guide her through recovery.
Tamra’s journey is not over. She faces additional surgeries and rehabilitation, but her courage, combined with the skill of her medical team and the support of a community that has rallied around her, gives hope for every next step.
Her family expresses profound gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support. They ask the public to continue sharing her story and the GoFundMe campaign, ensuring that Tamra has the resources she needs to recover, heal, and thrive in the months ahead.
💖
Tamra’s story is one of resilience, bravery, and faith. Every procedure, every monitored heartbeat, and every supportive gesture from loved ones and strangers alike is a testament to what it means to fight with courage, even when life presents unimaginable challenges.
💛 Please continue to pray for Tamra. Pray for healing, strength, and comfort as she faces recovery. And let us celebrate every victory along the way — every stabilized heartbeat, every step closer to recovery, and every moment she remains with us.
