We looked at a house this morning, and even though it was like 10 degrees, that wind made it bitterly cold! I'm ready for a little spring.
I don't think there's any reason to look at a dosecrease under circumstances like this as as step backwards. Since Eddie started being a flat cat starting in late November, and racing down in dose, we have raised his dose back up twice, both times as a failed reduction. The first time, he had earned a reduction down to 0.375 while we were traveling over the holidays, but he started looking higher within a few cycles, so we raised him back up to 0.5u. He started to look even better than he had before on that dose, and went back down again to 0.375 after about two weeks, and he held that reduction just great and looked better than ever! Then we tried 0.25 but I felt like he was trending back up, so we took him back up to 0.375, and again he's looking better than he ever has! I think sometimes a little extra juice for even a short period of time can kick them into gear. I think Marje has said not to get hung up on a dose, and I think sometimes it's hard not to do that but it seems like when you get to a dose that really brings all their numbers down, the reductions start coming again.
