A Virginia woman critically injured in a shark attack along Florida’s Gulf Coast on Friday "continues to make progress," according to an update from her church in Glen Allen.

Winns Baptist Church, where Elisabeth Foley is a member, said she was vacationing with her family in Walton County, Florida, when she was attacked by a shark.

The 45-year-old wife and mother of three suffered severe injuries to her midsection and the loss of her left hand.

Ryan Foley told the congregation Saturday that his wife was "hanging in there and has a super positive attitude," according to the church.
