The pain last night was excruciating. It was made worse because he had to sit up and hunch over so the anesthetist could insert the second epidural needle near his spine.

However, the second epidural needle found the right place, and Greg is now feeling much better than he was last night. He called Susan to update her this morning, and reported that he has been able to get up and move around a little bit. He is very, very thankful for everyone's prayers and hopes to be able to post his own updates soon.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers last night as he waited for that relief, and thanks and praise to God for answering those prayers in this way. Please continue to pray for relief of Christine's pain, and for God to strengthen her as she ministers to her husband.
