Jason "Jaydawg" Weaver of the contemporary Christian band Big Daddy Weave is on his way to recovery after having both his feet amputated to prevent a critical infection.

"Jason is headed home!!!" the Facebook page Pray For Jay announced on Wednesday.

On June 17, the band's bassist and singer underwent his last amputation-related foot surgery, according to the Facebook site, which has been providing updates on Jason's condition.

Jason celebrated Father's Day on June 19 with his wife and children on his hospital bed. Images and message on the occasion were posted on his Facebook page the day after.

During last Sunday's K-LOVE Fan Awards held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee, Big Daddy Weave frontman Mike Weaver spoke with members of the media backstage and shared with them the sad news that his younger brother Jay was battling a serious infection, according to the Christian Beat website.

"He's hurting, man...He's been off the road for a little while and they were treating him in a different way, and we thought it was getting better, but then some days ago it took a bad turn," Mike said.

"This comes in a season when we were really seeing God in the miraculous and hearing stories of that all the time. We're praying for J-dawg, that's what we call him; his name is Jason, which strangely enough, or purposefully enough, his name means 'one who heals'," he added.

Mike believes that "we're all in the middle of some kind of thing that God is working out in all of us, but I do know this – God is so good."

He said despite the challenges, his faith remains unshaken. "It doesn't mean God doesn't love Jason because he's going through this. Jesus said in this life we will have trouble and do not be afraid because He has overcome the world," Mike said.

The frontman of Big Daddy Weave then expounded his Christian beliefs. "There is something about the stuff that we go through in this life and this season that once we step out of this season and into eternity, we no longer have that to respond to anymore. We respond to the garbage and the difficulty in this life in front of Jesus, so we can carry on to Heaven with us an offering to God that can never be made once we are in Heaven.

"That's why we give money while we are here because what are you going to do – when you get to Heaven, the streets are made of gold; money is not valuable anymore. There's no pain in Heaven, so we want to learn how to respond well to that stuff in this life, so we go through it with Jesus. And I'm so proud of my brother because he's doing that right now," he said.
