Upping the steroids

In the face of regular bouts of pain requiring breakthrough medication, the team has decided to increase the steroid dose for a few days to see if that helps (from 2 to 8mg per day).
We, Padi included, would be very grateful if you would pray for him concerning this pain.

Update (9pm) Thankfully, P dropped off to sleep at 8:30pm having enjoyed some relief from the pain. He resumed his codebreaker book and enjoyed evening family worship.
