Jerrod Weaver

[dmswann]

Just a heads up to all the "extended" Weaver family. Jerrod Weaver (Maurice & Kim) was struck in the face by a line drive during a softball game last night. He was taken to Brookwood Medical Center (Birmingham, AL) with a fractured skull and must have some surgery to remove bone framents from his sinus cavity.

Please keep Jerrod and whole family in your prayers!

[RonJ]

Done....Hope all goes well.

Thanks for the news, will call Maurice this AM, hope all goes well for Jerrod.

I just got off a plane in phoenix when Maurice called with the news, we should know more this morning.

Alan, keep us posted so we're not all trying to get to Maurice. One good thing..... kids are tough. I remember what my kids went through. Our thoughts are with them all.

Mark

I will put Jerrod on our prayer list at church.

Ralph

[diegokid]

Will put him on the prayer list.

[PhillipM]

We will also put Jerrod on our pray list.

[dmswann]

Update: I spoke with Maurice this morning and Jerrod is at home. He rested pretty well last night and is not on any perscription pain medicine (young & tough). He is scheduled to meet with a neurosurgeon on Monday to schedule the needed surgery after the swelling goes down. Maurice sounded up-beat and apparently Kim feels much better also.

I got an e-mail from Megan and she said she would post his "mug shot" soon as she gets back from Arizona.

Keep em all in your prayers!

Good News! Thanks for the update Dennis. Jerrod and family in our prayers. Gary

[Slither]

Hoping for the best. Sorry to hear of the accident. Prayers for a quick recovery headed your way...

[dmswann]

Jerrod saw a neurosurgeon at Brookwood Medical Center yesterday and is scheduled for surgery at 11:00 am this Wednesday. His injuries are worse than initially thought and he has a fractured shull in the area of his sinus cavity and a crack in the rear of his skull. His surgery will include insertion of a metal plate in front to prevent future indention of his skull. I know this sounds terrible (and I even left out some details), but Kim was upbeat, Maurice seems steady and Jerrod is in good spirits (as always).
Please keep the whole family in your prayers and say a special one on Wednesday for success of the surgery and a speedy recovery!!!!!

Jerrod is out of surgery and doing well, his sinus wasn't as bad as they originally thought, just had to clean them out. They removed about 50 bone fragments and used some type of mesh to fill the dent in his forehead. He will stay the night in B'ham and hopefully be able to come home tomorrow. Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.

Remind Megan to post that "MUG SHOT" on the forum! Glad to hear he is doing OK and the prayers will continue for a speedy and "FULL" recovery. Maybe it will have the same benefit as a cosmetic "nose job" and he can find a girl friend now!

It can't hurt.

Man that is terrible, reminds me when I was playing 2nd base 13 yrs old, had a guy in a pickle between 2nd and third looked around the runner and caught it in the eye. Told the girls it was from a fight. Had a good month of attention. :D

[JerryRowley]

Maurice and Kim. Very sorry to hear the news. Jerod is on my prayer list and we pray all goes well as we know he's in God's hands.

[davebetts]

Sandy and I give our best to you guys.
Heres wishing him a speedy recovery.

[Silk]

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Jerod, Maurice and Kim. And so glad to hear the prognosis is positive.

[weaver]

Jerrod was released from the hospital this morning and is on his way back to Gadsden. He just about wore the button out on his morphine pump but seems to feel better today. I will keep you posted on his progress.

That is great news[thumb]!

[juanone]

Maurice,

With 4 kids and having gone through similar situations with mine as you have with Jerrod I feel the pain. Thank heavens for good surgeons and wishing for a speedy recovery. You are never ready when something like this happens.

Get better Jerrod.

[Aggressor]

Wishing all the best for Jerrod and your families.

Looks like Jerrod is on a lot of prayer lists right now. but I thought that one more wouldnt hurt. and figured I would share it with everyone.

Father God we come before you and pray for your healing touch for Jerrod and ask that you would make his recovery quick and trouble free. We ask Father God that you would comfort Jerrod and the Weaver family’s as they go through this difficult time. We don’t always know why you allow these things to happen but we know that if we trust in you and your Son that you will guide us through this life on earth and the trials and pains that come with it. We thank you Father God for the skilled doctors that have helped and for the concerned friends that are praying as well. Thank you Father God for Jerrod and for his full recovery, in the name of our Lord Jesus we pray, Amen

[Mike Del]

Jerrod,

[rldunn7]

[Jerry Cowing]

Maurice,

Just opened up the forum and saw the bad news. Glad to hear everything came out OK. You always feel so helpless when one of your kids accidently gets hurt.

[Ric S.]

Alan,

Would you update us please on Jerrod since he has been home.

Thanks.

[jweave]

Hey guys, just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers over the past couple of weeks. I am actually back at work now and feeling great. The surgery went well and should make a full recovery. I actually look the same, so there is still hope that i one day will get married! Again, the family and I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!! This truly is one big FAMILY!

Jerrod
