Morning. ~O)

Took a +1 today just to see where Shadow was ... up or down .... she took maybe 2 bites from her breakfast and ignored her food.
It took getting a test and giving her freeze dried turkey, crumbled some on her food to get her inspired to eat that breakfast.
At least she went down. :smile:

Last night's party was a success. DH was clueless and surprised. And only half his tiramisu cake was eaten so he has lots of cake left. :cool:


I am trying to figure out how to move back to the real bed.
Shadow does not self serve with eating in the night. I am currently setting the alarm every 4 hours to feed her. Miss Uncooperative.
I can't set an alarm in the bedroom because it will wake my DH and he can't go back to sleep if he's woken in the night. It totally messes
him up. ( Don't wake the bear!) :shock: :lol:
We normally went to bed at 9:30/9:45 pm and he gets up at 5:30/5:45 am so that would mean Shadow would go 8 hours or more without
eating if I went back to the bedroom. I might wake up on my own but I might not.
So I'm experimenting with how to get her to eat. I'm also afraid she won't come join us in the bed as she was doing before I moved to
the couch with her. I think I'll try moving to bed in the middle of the night/morning after her 2am feeding and see if she'll come.
That may be a way to start the transition. ( stumble, stumble) This sounds a lot like when my DD was 4, 5, 6 and trying to get her
to sleep in her own bed. :roll:

Prayers for everyone on the east coast, Roni/Moonie , Claudia/Comet and Karisa/Tasha and Dale and Max today.
Also for anyone else needing them today.

Shadow doing nicely! You're almost there Shadow! Keep surfing!
Rhiannon, why would you worry about Shadow not eating at night? If she's not on insulin, her bg will not fall below the safety standard, right?
My cats are without food during the night. Their last meal is at around 11pm. First meal is 8am. I did not leave out any food because of Rosy. I started this schedule since March & so far it's fine. In before, they have a buffet of 8 different kinds of dry knibbles 7 x 24.

Congratulations on Day 12. So exciting and I am so happy for you!!!

I bet once you go back to bed after feeding, she'll start changing the 'habit' and come back to bed with you. I hope so. Sure makes it easier when they are right there and if we wake up we can check on them. I do that a lot with Scratchie. Even though he wouldn't cooperate on testing last night, I was still waking up at the normal times, checking that he was asleep, checking his food, making sure he was ok.

Hope you have a great day my dear!

Looking good - i was starting to get concerned after seeing all those blues.. Nice to see some greens again. BTW though your AMPS is showing as green when it should be blue. Your colour coding has gone wonky.

Hi Rhiannon, so glad your DH was surprised, and he has half the tiramisu cake to himself. That's too bad Shadow won't self feed. I guess you've tried the aitomatic feeder? Paws and fingers crossed your plan to feed and transition works out and Shadow comes to bed.
Congratulations on Day 12, so close!

My ss has been doing odd things.... And any time I try to fix it, I make it worse. :lol: :roll:


I'm doing the feeding often during the trial to not overwhelm the pancreas with long hours in between food. That was part of the instructions.
That's supposed to be better for her and I sure don't want to put any undo stress on her little body.
 
Re: 10/29 Day 12 Shadow AMBG 123 +1~109

Yippie! Day 12! Getting ready to partee! Before long you will be sleeping through the night again!

I have a whole house full of cupcakes for the party. Yep, more than 50! Insane, huh? I made one for every kid and one for every adult. Then, the kids begged to play more games, I let them, and before I knew it their parents took them home before I served the cupcakes! I won't do that again. I should freeze them, but I don't have a separate freezer.

Too bad there is no way LL or FDMB can actually eat them for me, but then, you, at least, have your tiramisu to finish. That is great that your DH was surprised. How fun!
 
Re: 10/29 Day 12 Shadow AMBG 123 +1~109

Shadow's pancreas is definitely working if just a little food gets it going! Sounds like a great party for DH and he can drown his sorrows for the saints w/ tiramisu! ;-)

YAY FOR #12 :RAHCAT

I've left food out overnite for both my kitties, and neither one of them eats anyways. :roll:

Hi Rhiannon, Happy Day 12 OTJ :mrgreen: Go Shadow! We are looking forward to her Halloween OTJ party. Glad DH enjoyed his surprise party, and has half the cake left to continue celebrating! :-D
Sorry Shadow won't self feed at night so far. As you get more comfortable with her being OTJ you may want to try gving her extra before bed and/or leaving some out, dont get up to feed her, and see how she is in the morning. If she is fine without feeding service then you can relax about that.

I'm glad the surprise party for DH worked out. I hope you can figure something out with the night feeding and getting back to your own bed soon.
