Whew it’s been a busy couple of days...
First @Gill & George THANK YOU for your help Saturday. I’m sorry I seemed to disappear. Things got very busy at our holiday auction and the numbers my DH was sending looked like he was holding steady so I turned to putting out other fires and forgot to let you know he was doing ok. Very poor form on my end and I am sorry.
That night he went super low and we had fun fighting that fire. Sunday he was better, but then as well as today we seem to be fighting this dose. In my gut I know he’s not quite ready for 0.5 but at 0.75 we’re constantly food propping. It gets a bit scary and exhausting but I love seeing him riding the blues and greens. However I worry one day, I’m gonna miss the low. This week my DH is gone and he is the usual 2 am (+5) tester cause he is a night owl and I pass out at 11 (+2). I’ve tried setting alarms and I just don’t wake up. Last night Biscuit started howling at 3 am and I realized I’d slept through my 2 am alarm. I sat bolt upright and worried it was a hypo yowl.. luckily I tested him and he was only 109. Now today we’re hovering in the 50’s with food. So I’m looking for suggestions. Obviously he would have gone into the 40’s today for the 3rd time if not for the MC I fed him. I’m thinking maybe I should set out the auto feeder with MC snacks at night to maintain this dose for a little longer? I suppose we could try calipers for an in between dose but I didn’t see our needles listed and I haven’t switched them as I didn’t want to make a change when things have been working. Just exhausted but want to keep him safe and yet promote remission.
Wow, that’s a lot of writing. Sorry guys just trying to figure this all out.
