Current Update
These updates have been collected from various people and ministries with direct access to the Weavers. We will update this page as often as we can.Vicki Weaver Update - Tuesday, December 31, 2013 I spoke with Dan Weaver last week to get an update on Vicki's progress and I wanted to pass it on to you. Just as the doctors have stated, the progress will be slow. There has not been any significant progress, but there are some small improvements. She still struggles with her speech, her mobility and her short term memory. She has made a little progress of being able to turn in her walking, but she does it slowly and with help. Her short term memory is not there, but she has made a little progress as sometimes she remembers things that had taken place the day before. Please continue to pray for God's healing hand on Vicki and God's hand of wisdom on Dan. Pastor Mark Hodges The Weaver's Sending Church Pastor (Winter Haven Baptist Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Thursday, September 12, 2013 What a summer it has been for Dan and Vicki Weaver. We never know what the future holds - it's so important that we make the most of today because we have no idea of what a day is going to bring to us. Vicki is slowly progressing. She walks a little now, but with short steps and the help of Dan. She has also improved a little with her swallowing of which we are praising the Lord. Mentally, she is not progressing quickly at all. Doctors think that getting Vicki back to her familiar environment will help her mind to focus more on healing itself, than focusing on a new environment. So, Dan and Vicki Weaver will be leaving soon and returning back to Belize. In Belize, there will be some people who will help Dan with Vicki's care and progress. An assistant missionary, who has recently joined Dan in Belize - his wife is an RN and certainly will be helpful with Vicki. Please pray for these dedicated missionaries in their new era of missions in Belize. I'm overwhelmed at the Weaver's dedication to do God's work in spite of their circumstances. They certainly deserve our prayers! Pastor Mark Hodges The Weaver's Sending Church Pastor (Winter Haven Baptist Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Friday, August 30 Miss Vicki is doing somewhat better physically. She is walking a little, using a walker. Her balance is not too good yet. Still has difficulty swallowing. She still chokes several times a day, and her short term memory is still basically not there. Our plans are to be returning back to the field in September. We feel that the home environment will be instrumental in her rehabilitation. Thanks for all the prayers. We love you all so much. All for Him, Mr. Dan
Vicki Weaver Update - Friday, August 23 Dan and Vicki are still in Springfield, MO. The doctor reports are not much different than what they have been told in the past. The mind is an amazing, but unpredictable part of the body that responds and heals differently in various people. These matters take time. Dan and his daughter Jessica are working every day to help Vicki with her physical and mental abilities. Vicki had the boot removed from her foot and is now able to stand behind a walker with the help of someone. The physical aspect seems to be progressing quicker than the mental aspect of short term memory and understanding situations. Vicki is making progress of which we thank the Lord. Please continue to pray for her swallowing, as this is difficult for her and it causes her to get choked often. Dan doesn't rest well at night as he cares for Vicki, so please remember him in your prayers too. Pastor Mark Hodges The Weaver's Sending Church Pastor (Winter Haven Baptist Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Wednesday, August 14 Vicki is resting well in her new location in Springfield, MO. Even though she struggles to understand everything going on, she does understand that things are not the same and it is a real discouragement to her. She has seen the doctor and is starting therapy this week in her new location. Apparently, this is going to be a long process, so please keep Dan and Vicki in your prayers. Thank you.

Vicki Weaver Update - Tuesday, August 6 We have been seeing the Lord's hand through all of Mom's journey. Even though there are ups and downs, the downs are still an absolute praise that she is still with us and we can be thankful for that every day! As of now, we are leaving for Springfield, MO on Thursday. We are very thankful that family will be visiting her! It is going to be good therapy! Please continue to pray for her difficult road ahead. She is in the stage of becoming frustrated at not being able to do anything. This is heartbreaking to see but a blessing to know that this is a sign of recovery! Please pray for her swallowing still. It has proved to be the most frustrating thing for her. It is so strange but so difficult for her. Also, please pray for a safe and drama free trip to Springfield. We are hoping she will not be confused or anything on our trip. Thanks for all your prayers!!!! Jessica Dan & Vicki Weaver's Daughter
Vicki Weaver Update - Tuesday, July 23 Vicki continues to have therapy each day. The process is repetitive and the progress has been slow. Not much has changed since our last report. Please continue to pray for Vicki. Pray that this week will show some major improvements. Remember Dan and his daughter Jessica in prayer as they daily work hard to help Vicki in this process. Pastor Mark Hodges The Weaver's Sending Church Pastor (Winter Haven Baptist Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Friday, July 19 I visited with Vicki and Dan Weaver yesterday. Vicki is making some progress, but it is very slow. Dan asked Vicki if she knew who I was. After struggling to get the words out, Vicki said, "Pastor Hodges." They are doing 3 to 4 hours a day of therapy with Vicki. Throughout the rest of the day, Dan and their daughter Jessica, continue to work in trying to help regain Vicki's mobility and speech. I took all of the cards that were sent to our church for Vicki. Send more and I'll plan on taking them with me on my next visit. Thank you so much for your prayers for Vicki. Please continue to pray for her continual progress and strength for Dan and his daughter Jessica as they diligently work with Vicki for improvement.

Vicki Weaver Update - Saturday, July 13 Vicki has been in the Rehab Center now for two days. She is progressing, but slowly. She is still not moving her body much. Please continue to pray for her that God will give strength to her body (brain) and that she will continually make good daily progress. If you would like to send a card to Vicki, please mail it to this address, and we will see to it that she receives it.

Vicki Weaver Update - Wednesday, July 10 I was able to visit with Dan and Vicki Weaver yesterday afternoon. Vicki has struggled with resting well, but when I came into the room, she had been resting peaceably for more than two hours. She is talking, knows her family, but she struggles in putting everything together (focus). She is moving one arm somewhat and has feelings in her other limbs, but not using them yet. She is to have an EEG today (I believe that is the test) which measures the electrical activity of your brain. If the test comes back good, they will start the process of moving her to a Rehabilitation Center. Doctors state that the sooner she gets started on rehabilitating, the better chances she has of recovering. Dan has been with Vicki almost around the clock, but was able to get a little rest the last day or so. He looked a little more rested and is trusting in the Lord to take care of his sweet wife. His two children Gabe and Jessica are a great encouragement and help to him as they assist in helping care for their mother. Please continue to pray for Vicki's recovery and for Dan and their family. Pastor Mark Hodges (Winter Haven Baptist Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Tuesday, July 9 Vicki is doing better. She is able to communicate a little. Only understands short sentences she gets confused if they talk too fast or use long sentences. She is awake more but still sleeps alot more than normal. She ate a little today and was able to swallow. They will remove her feeding tube tomorrow. She will be leaving the hospital tomorrow and going to a physical therapy facility for extensive therapy to regain movement to her right side. It is her right side that is paralyzed. Continue to pray for Vicki and her family. Blessings to All! <>< Fisher's of Men - Belize
Vick Weaver Update - Sunday, July 7 Vicki Weaver is now in a hospital in south Florida in ICU. She is no longer considered critical - as far as life threatening. She is talking some, but is still disoriented somewhat. She's not moving her limbs much. Keep praying for continued progress! Pray for Dan to get some rest as he has not left her side for any length of time. - Winter Haven Baptist Church (The Weaver's Sending Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Saturday, July 6 Vicki remains in a comatose state but she is beginning to talk and yawning a lot as if she hasn't slept. She is in a hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Vicki is unable to move her right arm and leg, similar to a stroke due to lack of oxygen for a period of time. Prayerfully, Vicki will soon emerge from the coma and be able to regain the use of her arm and leg. Continue to PRAY for Vicki and Dan, Doctors, and Family! <>< Fisher's of Men - Belize
Vicki Weaver Update - Friday, July 5 Air evacuated this morning to Ft Lauderdale, Florida. Please continue to pray! <>< Fisher's of Men - Belize She is now in Ft. Lauderdale as of this morning. They are running tests and so at this time we have no new information - other than, she is still not coming out of the coma. She has opened her eyes a little from time to time and moved her hand some. She is in a really good trauma care unit, of which we praise the Lord! Please keep praying! - Winter Haven Baptist Church (The Weaver's Sending Church)

Vicki Weaver Update - Tuesday, July 2 Dear Praying Partners, Urgent - We need your prayers. I spoke with Gabe (Dan & Vicki Weaver's son) a few minutes ago. Vicki is not coming out of the coma. The doctor said that there is a portion of Vicki's brain that is not getting blood. He believes that the blood restriction is growing. They have an evacuation team on standby to bring her to the states where she can receive medical care from those who specializes in brain injuries of this sort. Please pray they can get Vicki here soon and that God will have the right doctor waiting to help her. Pastor Mark Hodges (Winter Haven Baptist Church)
Vicki Weaver Update - Monday, July 1 Dear Praying Friends, I spoke with Dan last night and Vicki was resting in a good hospital in Belize. She is still in an induced coma to allow her body and brain to overcome the traumatic brain injury. The swelling in Vicki's brain went down yesterday, so the doctors are going to run all the test again and make sure that everything is continuing to heal. If everything looks ok, they will start taking Vicki out of the coma today. It will be a tough time for her and Dan as she will probably struggle, not understanding her condition as she comes out of the coma. Thank you so much for your prayers - I know you will continue to pray. Pastor Mark Hodges (Winter Haven Baptist Church) Psalm 147:3 "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."
Vicki Weaver Update - Sunday, June 30 Vicki was moved yesterday to Universal Healthcare Partners, a private hospital in Belize City. She is in a medically induced coma and being treated for head injuries ( skull fracture ) The air evacuation plan to move her to US is in place pending further medical test and evaluation. Continue to pray for her and those whom will be making crucial decisions in hours and days ahead. PRAY! <>< Fisher's of Men - Belize
