Yesterday

AMPS = 288

I guess he wanted to go visit the sun for a bit.

I think he is itching for s reduction, but I am helping him NOT reach it... or I just keep missing it. Oh well.

Gordy is looking so good! I hope you can get some rest today. It looks like you were up late last night.

I went to sleep right after that +5, but my body woke me up with a leg cramp at 1am, so I took advantage and got a test in. Never a great way to be awokened.

ouch! no fun at all.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

The +1=408/388. I know that's a food bump, BUTTT that's a BIG one!

I don't think I need to go home and check on him today.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

It looks like Gordy is bouncing from those nice numbers last night. I hope he slides back down slowly.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

What a great cycle last night! And oh what a bounce today! I don't think you missed any thing last night as the last test you got he was surfing away. And I think it's a matter of time for another reduction too and I am wondering if you had not given him the MC for his meal last night if he would have earned that reduction? Since you were home and able to test, I might have given regular LC food and see what would play out. Just a thought.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

Gordy's autofeeder didnt spin correctly today so he didn't get anything to eat past that +2.25 snack.

He is 94 right now. I am expecting a bounce a bit, so I will shoot normal.

I will do LC as suggested but I got more HC tonight at the store LOL

Oh poop on the not spinning. How many meals did the poor little guy miss?

[Doodles & Karen]

Sorry Gordy missed some meals today but on a good note, if he decides to be silly tonight he'll probably be pretty happy about extra fuds.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

+1=111

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

He is already at 85.

Should I give him MC or HC?

He usually wouldn't get his snack for another 30 minutes.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

any chance you can open a new thread?

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

any chance you can open a new thread?

?? Why? This is today's thread?

I gave him a spoonful of HC because I had it opened. I'll test him again in 30 to see if he is still dropping fast.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Sorry, I was looking at the another post..
It looks like another busy evening for you.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

LOL, its ok

Yeah, I guess so. He is trying so hard to earn his reduction. Right now, his bean is letting him lick the big bowl I used to make his frozen snacks. Its one of his favorite activities.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

How that spoonful of HC worked?

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

How that spoonful of HC worked?

Slowed him down some. His +2.5=78.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

I'm at the point that I know what I SHOULD do at lower numbers... but still don't feel confident.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Great!
I have very little experience with HC. And of course, ECID, but recently a table spoon of MC juice alone bumped Ducia up 20 points, and then kept her above 60 for almost hour and a half.
But Gordy is different. How wise of you was it to test at +1.75!

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I'm at the point that I know what I SHOULD do at lower numbers... but still don't feel confident.

I can totally relate to it
78 is a good number, but he moves fast. I say keep testing, have your HC ready and let's keep your post up

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

But Gordy is different. How wise of you was it to test at +1.75!

Yeah, MC doesn't raise him much. But I just discovered that the MC I've been given is now an 8% carb according to Dr Lisa's new list.
He has been doing pesky dives lately, so I have been heavily monitoring him when I can.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

How long can you be up tonight? If you can monitor for a bit, I wouldn't give anymore HC unless he goes below 50 and you need to boost him up. I would let him earn the reduction we think he is after.

I can be up at late as I need to be... now, do I want to stay up is another story LOL.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Since you don't do coffee........ how about some chocolate?

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

Haha, I actually drink tons of coffee. Just can't do it at night because it stays in my system too long.
I'll just suffer. It's not even 9pm here. so hopefully he keeps holding steady and I won't have to poke him too much.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

The high carb will likely have boosted him up by about 20 points . So, the test after next will be more telling about the cycle and on set should be kicking in too. If he should drop below 50, he earned the reduction and just HC him up and give him 2 cycles without any food to makes sure he is going to surf and not continue to fall and then you can get to bed.

When you get a chance would you update the SS if you haven't all ready.

ETA: if he does go below 50, be mindful of when in the cycle and how close to nadir so you will know how much more testing you need to do.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

+3=82

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

+3=82

Probably the HC talking. Let's see what he is the next test.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Any updates?

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

His +3.5=114

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

His +3.5=114

hmmm did you test it again?

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

hmmm did you test it again?

Actually, it's about the same number as the previous test with +/- 20 % variance. He's basically surfing.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

Ill grab a +4. I already set up his autofeeder with the norm and LC.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

+4=128

I am starting to feel he'll be ok.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Nice number! It's a bit early thou... But you know what you are doing.
I am going to be off for an hour or so but there are very good eyes on you now. Wishing you quiet night, good rest and nice surf for Gordy!

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

+5=161

I am going to sleep. A bounce has begun. Lol
