TLDR: Question about Lantus:
If we lose power as a result of the hurricane, and this is very likely, it will be out for a while. During the last hurricane, we lost power for about a week or so. I won't be able to keep his Lantus refrigerated. Will it be okay for a while unrefrigerated? If so, how long? I know that humans don't often refrigerate theirs because the vials don't last as long as ours since we're giving such small doses, but those vials are usually replaced within about 30 days. Will Jude's vial remain okay for at least until the power is restored and I can purchase a new bottle?? I feel like this is something that @squeem3 might know.

Jude is holding onto those nicer numbers. As I said yesterday, he often takes some time adjusting to a dose increase, so it's looking like he's adjusting now. I'm waiting for the bounce
I thought it would be this morning, since he dropped into the greens last night, but 120 is not much of a bounce, and since then he's come back down again 
His stools are loose--not diarrhea, just loose. I hope this doesn't get worse. I think it's the Gaba. I have no idea what to do about that. Should I give him psyllium husk?? In the past when he's had diarrhea, it's been from antibiotics, but Gaba isn't that.
Hurricane Isaias has shifted course to the east, so now it looks like we're going to be in the direct path. We're about 100 miles inland of the Gulf of Mexico, so once it hits landfall, it will begin to weaken, but by the time it reaches us, it will still be a fairly strong storm (maybe still at hurricane strength) and/or we will be on the 'dirty' side of the storm, which means much more intense wind, rain, etc. Typically, we'll be looking to experience high, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and a lot of rain. Most definitely, we'll have, at the least, widespread power outages in the area.

. I really hope you don't have to deal with this.
