Re: 2/17 Ole+2 HI 2.5 520=3 480+3.5 508+4 565+4.5 565+5 520

Good evening,

+5 520
Ole just brought me his ball to play fetch with, so he is running up and down the house. We played 10 (and counting) rounds during the time it has taken me to write this email, I suppose it is a sugar buzz, but the exercise and play has to be good.

He did have a really big barf, which is no surprise considering what he ate. I worry about all of that food and all that honey, but under the circumstances, I had no choice. He also hit the LB (#1), and I have seen him at his water bowl. I don't see this often because he gets 3oz h20 2x/day with meals. I just started measuring. It is quite high but the current humidity in Flagstaff is 30%, so we all are drinking a lot of water.

This will go down as a bad day. I haven't even talked about the difficult conversations with my vet's office (My vet was not on call). I don't really want to either.

Thank you again for all of the attention and well wishes.

I'll be back at +6 (12:00 MST).

Thank you,
Rebekah

{{{Rebekah}}}:

I have been praying for Ole all evening. I am so glad to see you've gotten him through this so far. Did your vets say anything about how long until you can stop watching him so closely?

I will keep praying for him all night and keep checking back for updates. You have lots of supporters pulling for both of you! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

I don't know if I've ever been so happy to see several "HIs" in a row. You did an awesome, awesome job. How are you guys this morning?

I can imagine your conversation with your vet. I hope s/he knows this was just a terrible mistake, and that everything you've done has been out of love and concern for Ole, including using R.

Our prayers continue....

+10 and still Hi.

Ole is well, sleeping with me and purring. He quickly responded to my wake up call at +10 so he is alert.

I imagine to dose as usual when it comes the time, and try to put this whole huge mistake behind me. What have I learned? Well, I'm still processing that.

I'm glad Ole is doing okay this morning. You did a great job handling things. I hope you can keep an eye on him today to make sure there's no effects in the next cycle.
 
So glad Ole is okay. I'm sure you were relieved to see all those HIs.

Whenever you have to have the difficult conversation, you can be honest with them. Or, it isn't unreasonable to think you have a different insulin in your house. Ole could be on Prozinc and you or Alex be diabetic and have Lantus in the refrigerator too. Good luck with that conversation...I'd be nervous too.

Hope you're getting some sleep today! No doubt you really need it!

Good Morning,

We are about to AMPS. We have both survived the night. Ole is up and excited for his breakfast.

Rebekah
 
After all of the HC, I'm surprised he's excited to see breakfast! I'm VERY glad this was a nonevent (well, maybe not for you but for Ole).
 
I think all of LL is breathing a huge sigh of relief today. I know this was probably one of the most stressful nights of your life, but we were all behind you, thinking of you, praying for you. You really did awesome under immense, incredible pressure. Many, many hugs.
 
glad things are looking ok! Whew!

Keep in mind that counterregulary hormones, if that's what this is, can hang around for a few days. His numbers might be wonky for the next couple of days. Just hang on and see what happens when this clears out.

FYI, this did happen once before. Lorna/Girlcat got I think 8 units of R instead of Lantus. Lorna and another FDMB sat in the parking lot of the ER testing so they could get inside quickly if necessary. GC also stayed high - she turned out to be an acro cat. Didn't know that at the time. I was going to link GC's spreadsheet here, but unfortunately it is no longer published. I wish I could remember what happened the next few days after the overdose, but it was a long time ago. You're not alone, though. I keep my R in the original box, all the way in the back of the fridge, so I have to make a conscious effort to get it out. Lantus or Lev were always in the front of the fridge and not in the box.
