Morning all -
Well, Emma had quite the night last night. We had another PJ party. I think the dogs are getting annoyed that I keep turning the light on and talking to Emma during the night. They were so tired they didn't want to get up this morning! Neither did I!
I'm at work and can't access her SS to give you all the details, but I'll summarize by saying her dose is going down tonight. She was low and dropping this morning, so she didn't get a shot this morning. She was frantically upset for a long time, starting at 1 this morning when she dropped to 46. It reminded me of her behavior a couple of weeks ago. I tested and fed every 15 minutes for a while, and set my alarm and woke up every 1-1.5 hrs for the rest of the night. I was able to keep her numbers up a little bit with the little bits of food all night. She was up to 130 (I think) at +10, but then started dropping. At her usual shot time this morning she ate an entire can of MC, and then another of HC. She was up to 90 when I left for work. I left two good sized bowls of food (one MC, the other HC) and she had really calmed down, so I felt ok about leaving for work. She seems to know when she needs to eat, so hopefully if she still feels like she's dropping she'll head for the food. I put her in front of both bowls, so she knows what's there.
Now to keep myself awake for the rest of the day....Mountain Dew and Diet Coke are my two new best friends!
Hope everyone survived the snowstorm. We got less than a foot, but there's a lot of sleet and ice everywhere now. The sidewalk outside my office looks like a skating rink!
