December 27, 2018 - First blizzard of the season
Good morning everyone,
We are finally getting snowed out after the blizzard on Thursday. One thing to appreciate about living here is the guys in the plows are pros and we rarely have to wait long to get back out there. In fact, it will never cease to amaze me how many places/businesses never close during a blizzard, and how many people will still go out.
Thankfully Caleb made it home safe that night, although he got stuck turning onto our street. He was only a block from home and a couple of cops stopped to help. Unfortunately for me I'm stuck at work this weekend 
. I hope it's not too bad and goes quickly.
Lou on the other hand, is reacting like he is not on insulin at all. I increased him today to 2.75u (the naughty inpatient part of me totally wanted to go up to 3u, but I know better.). I have never seen him have basically no reaction to an increase, nor need back-to-back increases. I guess even if he's needing more insulin right now, the Lev is still keeping him almost ridiculously steady, so there's that to be happy about. I'll check his ketones again this evening during PMPS. I cannot escape the feeling that something has to be wrong. My mind is still focused on a possible UTI, so I think I'll make a point to call the vet on Monday to see if they can get him in just to be safe. In the meantime, we'll hold the fort and keep testing and increasing as necessary to get him back to the lagoon. I desperately wish he could tell me what's going on.
I hope you all have a wonderful Caturday and your kitties surf safely. Sending vines to all those kitties and beans in need today.
