Great news about Jim's face!!

[Dobie]

I'm not sure if you guys know the details - but 18 months ago my husband was hit by a car and part of his jaw was shattered. He had to have bone grafts and the doctor's said he was lucky to be alive (I think God had more to do with it than luck)!

He developed a condition called trigeminal neuralgia, which is a shooting pain up the nerves of his face. Regular pain killers do not work on it, they have to use pretty high doses of anti-seizure meds - which makes him pretty lethargic.

Finally getting to the good news - our prayers are being answered on this one!! His face has been pain free for 3 weeks and they are allowing him to finally cut down on the dose of the drugs. The doctor says that he may be entering a phase of remission.

I am sooooo happy about this - it truly is an answer to prayer.
