Because Joanna made that nice request, I figured I actually do have news with Ari and I can share.
We finally hit a point where we're not getting 40's every nadir! Yay. Made it all the way down to .6 units and now that seems just an itty bitty bit too low. I might shoot a fat .6 tonight and see how she does there and then maybe go to .8. I completely jumped over .8 on the way down because of all those 40's. Let me tell you that this morning Ari was a VERY happy cat. She came in to wake me up, purring, talking and just in a fabulous mood. She's very happy to be out of the 40's. I'm hoping a few good days of this and the lower phos food will lead to good numbers on Friday for her next I-Stat.
Since we finally hit the bottom of where she's at, I calculated again and she's now down to 40% of her previous insulin shot amount from 2 weeks ago and holding well on BID. :RAHCAT
They're going to teach me how to do SubQ's on Friday and depending on her I-Stat incorporate 2x/week fluids to help her kidneys out.
