Yesterday

There really isn't too much new to report today. We had several awesome rounds of snuggles yesterday (one lasted nearly an hour long, thus preventing me from doing any sort of housework), and she IS coming downstairs more and more frequently, so I guess that is our current new baby step. She still insists on MamaBean holding the plate to maximize fuds consumption. She ate very, very well last night!

It's been just over 3 weeks since all this started. I think she FEELS pretty close to 100%, despite the wonky eating habits. She is solid, bright-eyed, feisty, and social, but she has been through so much in such a short time period that I can't blame her for having a few quirks at the moment....

I have to work today and I doubt I'll be able to come home to check on things...I have to teach in the morning, and we have another class in the afternoon that my business partner will have to teach, so I really shouldn't leave the store with her being busy with students. But, I know Trix will be fine....I don't know how much she'll eat, but I'll make sure to get as much into her as I can before I leave, and I know we can "catch up" on calories this evening. I really do hope she remembers how much she likes to eat without someone holding the plate, but she HAS come a long way.

AND...for the first time ever, I got the gelcap down on the first try last night! This morning took 3 tries, which is more the average, but hopefully I'll start seeing a trend towards "hole in one" events.

I'm really tired, but am going to attempt a short pre-work workout. Have a great day, LL!

Morning Amy ~O) ~O) ~O)

WOO HOO! What an awesome WCR. :-D :-D :-D :-D NICE too on the gelcap. Sure is wonderful isn't it when it goes down with the first attempt. I just LOVE her numbers.

Have a great day Amy. I hope all goes well with TBP, and the teaching.

It's a good day when you don't have much to report, isn't it?! :-D

Yay on the successful pilling last night. Three attempts this morning really isn't bad - I've had much worse!

I'm sure Trixie will enjoy her helicopter free day and will be happy to see you when you get home tonight.

Have a great Friday, Amy!
 
After a looooooonnnnnnnnggggggg day at work, it's been a very nice start to the evening. Trix greeted me along with everyone else when I got home. She trotted in and out of the laundry room 3 times while I prepped kitty dinners. She was nice-n-feisty at gelcap time (5 tries till it went down!). She had a pretty decent first round of fuds. She walked over to Noah and gave him some little kisses on his head - usually she demands things to be the other way around! All and all, a good start...

Sending tons of prayers to Mara and Mitzi, and to Mariko and Lucy....

I'll try to get to condos tonight, if I can keep my eyes open after we beans eat our din-din.
 
i found that pills and capsules both didn't stick to my fingers and went down easier if i put the smallest layer of pill pockets around them. if that's part of your issue (finger sticking) maybe that would help. or butter. for some reason i'm thinking Trixie isn't keen on pill pockets - is that right?

so glad to hear she's perked up! i LOVE that you used the word trotted for her! that says she's feeling good. WOOT!

Trix LOVED Pill Pockets until she got sick...now she has an understandable aversion. I do use "butter" (I'm vegan, so it is the vegan variety, but it's a teeny amount and just as slimy as the real stuff.) The capsules don't stick to my fingers...she's just an expert at flicking them, and I haven't refined my pill popping skills yet since we're less than a week into this approach. We're getting there, though...we have not had any complete failures yet!

She absolutely inhaled her second dinner...another first!
 
Amy, have you tried a pill popper yet? I find it really helps me get the pill farther back in the throat, and then I use a syringe to squirt some water in to wash it down. It also eliminates the sticking issue (I know you said you didn't have that problem, but I did).

I'm delighted to read that Trixie "inhaled" her second dinner. :-D She really is doing so very well - I can't overstate how much. You are a fantastic Mamabean!

Have a great night, Amy!
 
I've tried to put the gel cap in the side of the mouth again for a few days, but Max spits it out. I went back to the not as gentle opening of the mouth as it usually works on the first try. I'm glad it's getting easier for you. At least if it pops out you don't have to deal with melting pills. Have a nicenight.
