[Gill & George]

Ok you have some eyes on you now Kel has had her cuppa, just in case Nan has to do some work

 

[Beth 73]

If he's still over 50 next test, then you'll want to hold off on more food for a bit and see if he can hold on his own.

Gotta say, it puts a smile on my face to see Elmo in greens (even if he was, characteristically, a bit dramatic about it!). Hated seeing him in those yucky numbers.

Agree, agree, Nan Shocked me fully awake this AM. ,fo sho

 

[Beth 73]

There's not much difference at this end. I work from home in my pj's.

How's Elmo feeling?

Seems fine ....was a little hesitant the last HC gravy...syringed it slowly followed by bit of SEB....

Hopefully, the beast will not need anymore gravy today.

 

[Beth 73]

+3.25....94.....test in 30....feed ? If so , what LC. MC, HC ??? Or leave him be ?

 

[Beth 73]

Hopefully, the beast will not need anymore gravy today.

I love when you call him, “the beast”, Kel That’s two tests above 50....test in 30 ....feed now or leave be ???? Maybe bit of LC ???

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

I would leave him be and test in 30. Let his stomach settle.
See if we are seeing the HC at work or the beginning of the inevitable bounce.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Elmo! Good boy puking a jammie day instead of PJ party!

congrats on the reduction! Not bring it up Elmo, nothing to prove now.

Yikes! Auto correct ! I didn’t mean “puking”. I meant having !

Elmo says thanks , Auntie Kel Giving little more SEB ....he is not a fan of prolonged rich gravy....and what !?!?! Elmo ? Bounce ?.. surely not

 

[Beth 73]

Yikes! Auto correct ! I didn’t mean “puking”. I meant having !

Bobbie, I knew what you meant ....gave me a much needed chuckle

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I see Elmo is keeping you on your toes again. At least it is during the day this time. I'm glad he's come up for you. I hope he keeps surfing safely.

Oh, Carla, thanks for checking on us ....and yes, much prefer doing this during the day than middle of the night even tho it is fun to hang with Bron and be able to tell you , early bird, good morning

 

[Beth 73]

+3.75......99....feed LC ?....test in 30

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

No, still hold off on food, he's doing great on his own. I'd even give him an hour before the next test, give his ears a little break.

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

Oh my! I turn my back for a bit and Elmo goes hunting sharks! What a guy!

Coast along nicely now Elmo!

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

He's holding and surfing.
Test in 30 or 60. Your choice.

Elmo does such a great job of keeping you and the forum humans bouncing.

 

[Beth 73]

Thanks, Auntie Nan I am thrilled he has held ....poor Bron went thru it with us in the wee hours where this wasn’t the case ....this is piece of cake during the day ...but y’all dont have to miss sleep either being on duty Guardian Angels of the Gpa Man

The Beast ....the nerve of him

Are you saying that Elmo is not all that fond of your backside?

 

[Beth 73]

Coast along nicely now Elmo!

Thanks, Auntie Linda Where would we be without all of you ?...

 

[Beth 73]

Are you saying that Elmo is not all that fond of your backside?

Now I need a cuppa

 

[Beth 73]

+ 4.75....87.... basically holding .... feed a bit of LC to encourage surf ? Test in another hour ? Thots ? Hasn’t eaten since +3 when had 1 t HC gravy ...have SS housekeeping to do

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

Give him a tsp of LC to keep him surfing. Keep coasting Elmo!

 

[Beth 73]

Thanks, Auntie Linda Giving 1t 2 LC or the 6 LC ? 2 LC is his usual....test in one hour then ?

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

I'd stick with 2% for now. Save the even slightly higher carbs for when needed.

Got it Sleeping off the HC like a drunk in a stupor

 

[Gill & George]

I think you would be ok to wait an hour till the next test, and make sure he's surfing nicely.

 

[AmandaE]

Wow Beth! Elmo is at it again!!

Elmo, smarten up!! No more diving!!! Like everyone is saying, at least it’s day time!! Get your surf on Elmo! No more shark teasing!!!

 

[Beth 73]

Thanks , Amanda .... been a wild morning but , as you said, at least it's day time !!!! Scritches to Melly Moo

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

Hey Beth, when you get a chance, can you add the recent tests to the subject line (you might have to compact/remove some of the others to make room)? That way, people scanning the board can see the current state of affairs at a glance.

Elmo is looking good! He deserves his snooze time today!

Thanks for reminder, Nan I need a nap too

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

Thanks for reminder, Nan I need a nap too

Has Elmo come up enough for you to have a cosy nap?

 

[Beth 73]

+5.75...98..... feed a little LC or leave be ??? Is up from his nap and bumbling around ...wants window open ....it’s cold out so that little excursion won’t last long

 

[Beth 73]

Has Elmo come up enough for you to have a cosy nap?

Ha ! Kel ,you read my mind A nap was the next thing on my to-do list on this overcast day .....after this AM if feels like it should be night time

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

+5.25...98..... feed a little LC or leave be ???

Feed a little LC to a) encourage the surf, b) to allow yourself a nap, and c) and d).

I'm off. Need to focus on the manuscript in front of my eyes and also want to drive around trying to find a pharmacy that has flu shots on hand.

 

[Beth 73]

Ate a little on his own.....LB visited... back to his heat vent bed right in the middle of kitchen in front of the sink .... Thank you to all who helped us this AM..... y’all are the BEST @carfurby @Nan & Amber (GA) @MrWorfMen's Mom @Gill & George @Red & Rover (GA) @Bobbie And Bubba ...... it truly does take a dedicated , loving, giving village Blessings to you all

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

What lovely surf! Yeah!

 

[Beth 73]

And FYI, working on updating SS ....it oughta be a humdinger .

 

[Beth 73]

What lovely surf! Yeah!

Yes, your nephew is casually napping on the floor, in front of the heat vent located right beneath where the sink is located .....DH looks at him and shakes his head as he attempts to do dishes ....this from the man who 40 years ago told me there would never be animals in the house ......... I don’t ever remind him of that Gonna give a bit of a pokey break for a few hours ...good idea ? When do I need to get next BG check ?

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I think you can wait at least another hour to test or maybe even stretch it to an hour and a half. Good job today.

 

[Beth 73]

Thank you, Carla That’s what I was thinking . He just gave me stink eye from his window perch cos it’s cold out and we’re only opening window a few inches ....how dare we

Take good care of yourself,Auntie Kel Those flu shots scare the bejiggers out of me ....you are tres brave

 

[Beth 73]

Another FYI. Internet a bit wonky due to winter weather moving in ...will get SS updated ASAP and as soon as SNOW flurries will allow !!! Yippee and yahooo !!!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Beth, we need to call this The Elmo Show lol this boy sure does keep you busy
You do a fantastic job with him. I just get pooped reading all this.

 

[LizzieInTexas]

Thanks, Diane Absolutely do not know what I would have done without the Sisterhood of the FDMB ... no words can say enough

 

[Beth 73]

+ 10.....93 I know there's 2 more hours to go y'all but could we discuss a possible plan for tonight ??? I know what if's are kinda a waste but a 93 ain't a gonna cut it ....

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

Oh Beth, you crack me up! Look how well he surfed today and he's higher now than when you shot so what's your question?

We all know Elmo holds his cards close to his chest so any plans you make now may go up in smoke anyway. Keep your patience pants on....he may change the game totally before shot time.

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

I'm the nasty housekeeper... Please update Elmo's SS. (There are people like me that actually open everyone's SS.)

I agree with Linda. Kitties make hash out of our plans. I would urge you to give some thought to what the lowest number is you're comfortable shooting. You did great and shot a 72 this AM.

Remember, with TR, Elmo doesn't get a dose reduction. He was diagnosed in 2016. He has to either drop below 40 or have 3 separate cycles where he drops below 50 or a week in normal numbers.
