Re: 3/17Max

fabulous! i'm off to work but wanted to check in and see how your night went.

saw your discussion about what to dose today - i think i wouldn't see-saw between a fat 1.75 like you gave last night and the 2.0 you gave yesterday morning. i'd stick with the f1.75 and try to go 6 cycles with it. even if he bounces.

congrats on handling everything last night. hope your appt with your mom goes well today.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262

Thank you Julie for checking in. I just was about to post his new number and was pondering what to do. I will give the f1.75. I so appreciate you checking in on me this morning and staying up with us last night. I turned the lights out at 3:30 and was awakened at 6 with Max stuck to his cat tree. Then about a half hour later there was a earthquake at first said to have a center right where I live but later moved to about 10 miles away. It was a 4.4 and short but two strong jolts. Have a great day at work.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262

Hi there, I don't think we've visited Max's condo before. Sunny yellows are not bad to see after a wild night. And an earthquake too? Holy moly.

Hope you have a calm and dramafree Monday.

Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262

Hi guys .. great looking numbers last night! Wow on the earthquakes, I can't imagine you ever get used to something like that! Hope there was no damage .. have a great day guys!
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262

Yes it was nice to see mellow yellow. I am hoping we go down gradually and it isn't the beginning of a bounce. Thanks fir the well wishes. Thankfully no damage here and it sounds like all is well in the test of the city. Just a lot of unsettled nerves. I didn't get too scared of earthquakes until the one in '97 which did cause power outages, deaths, and a lot of broken dishes, televisions, lamps, broken shower tiles, cracks in paint etc. that time I had no idea how bad it was as I never had damage before. It was pitch dark and I walked into the kitchen and stepped lightly on glass. I didn't get hurt but now keep shoes under my bed. Have a great day and thanks for the visit.

Maybe no bounce after all yet. I can test in another hour 45 before I need to leave for the doctor. Please keep a good thought for both Max and my mom. Thanks.

Here's the link to Max's 3/16 condo.

Very nice numbers following yesterday's lows. Keep surfing those blues today Max. Sending good wishes for your mom too.

Yikes on the earthquake! Good thing there wasn't any damage other than to your sleep.

Thanks, Wendy. I'm going to leave him now with about 1/4 can of fancy feast.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191

what state do you live in? my husband's cousin posted on facebook last night about them having a quake in caifornia. then he posted a link to a fairly alarming article (given that i live in oregon) about how we're due for a big quake soon off the coast of the Pac NW.

how is your mom today?

looks like max was giving you permission to go and not worry. :-D
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191

Hi Julie. I'm in So. Cal. and probably 5 miles from the center of the earthquake. There wasn't any damage reported that I know of but it did rattle the nerves. It hit around 6 or 6:30 this morning.

No answers on my mom. They drew blood and took chest x-rays. I think she is dehydrated. She probably needs fluids and if her internist can't do it in his office tomorrow the hospital is looking more likely. I'm so scared for her to go in as they nearly did her in the last two times but we may be out of choices as she isn't getting better at home. This doctor we saw today is not the one for us. We waited nearly an hour for her and she spent the majority of the time getting her history and barely examined her.

So do I test Mr. Max now or give him a break? It's +9.45 and I'm on the fence. I'm just thinking out loud. I might just wait.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+10.25=192

he's bouncing a little bit today from those good numbers yesterday. i suspect you could get a pmps and a before-bed, and if everything stays in the vicinity of 200, sleep well.

dehydration is a huge problem in elderly people. i haven't heard of fluids being done in a doctor's office, but perhaps some do. i had to take my mom to the ER in the middle of the night one night and that was the issue. i hope tomorrow is better than you expect. :YMHUG:
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+ 10.25=192 PMPS 1

Hi Julie. The doc we saw today wouldn't do fluids in the office but her internist said he would. First we need the results from the labs and then he will talk with the doc we saw today and her cardiologist. Thanks for the hugs.

Maybe Mr. Max will surf tonight. It's a good PMPS.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+ 10.25=192 PMPS 1

:-D :-D it is a good pmps! not too high, but not so low that you'll probably have to stay up. we like flat numbers!!!
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+ 10.25=192 PMPS 1

Great job last night, Elise. I know it was scary but you did great.

Max was safe with the numbers he was at and it takes a while to get used to lower numbers without being nailbite_smile nailbite_smile we have all been there. The good thing is that he didn't get very low but you were able to practice feeding him to manage the curve with a bit of food. :-D

Nice recovery for him today, too!

Many prayers for your mom. I have a lot of problems with my mom staying chronically dehydrated and then her BP drops too low. She has gone I to the hospital a couple times for fluids but the las time, they had a home health nurse come to her and aid inter IV fluids.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+ 10.25=192 PMPS 1

Thanks Julie and Marje. We have had home health nurses in the past but not for fluids. With my mom's heart issues I don't think they would allow that but I will ask tomorrow.

I hope to test at +3 only tonight but if he is dropping I will likely do a +5. Can you believe this coming from someone whose first post said something like don't beat me up for this but how do you manage this without home testing? I couldn't have done it without my patient vet and you!!!
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+ 10.25=192 PMPS 1

You're doing great!!

My mom has a-fibrillation, CHF, high BP u less she's dehydrated, and is on Coumadin. But it does depend on what is going on with your moms heart.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4.5=198+5.5=191+ 10.25=192 PMPS 1

Sounds like our moms have a lot in common, Marje.

I wonder if Max will go much lower tonight?
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+2=283+4=198+5.5=191+10=192 PMPS193+3=14

Hard to say on whether he will go lower but I'd sleep/test until you know he has stopped or is coming up.
 
Re: 3/17Max AMPS 262+4=198+5.5=191+10=192 PMPS193+3=142+5=75

You were right, Marje as we are now in the green at +5. At least I am dosing in between tests. I better set an alarm for the next one as I haven't slept much lately.

I'm still up but fading. I see people get numbers like Max is getting in the green and don't test again for several hours. I assume that is because they have enough data to know their cats will be safe. I am wondering if Max is surfing and not going down from +5-+7 it means it is safe to call it a night?
