Skooterboy's Condo (05/25)

I mind as well just say refer back to yesterday's condo these days....I got a snuggly and cuddly Skooter all night once again....Which I can never really complain about :)

Depending on what his preshot is tonight and up to +3 tonight is (as I will be getting home just in time for it), I am assuming I have a c0uple different options.

1. Pretend the 129 from 05/23 PM and the 124 from 05/24 AM cycle are under 120 with meter variance, and shoot a 0.10 starting tomorrow morning
2. Keep the 129 as out of range, start the seven days from +3 on the 05/23 PM cycle and count seven days from then (as long as he stays within the normal range)
3. Keep both the 124 and the 129 as out of range, start the seven days from PMPS on 05/24 and count seven days from then (as long as he stays within the normal range)
4. If I do decide to take the reduction, the other option, which I did with his last reduction to normal numbers, is to shoot the 0.25 one more time tomorrow morning and then go to the 0.10 tomorrow night

Any other options I am missing?

I want to do what is best from him, no matter how frustrating it is for me (which let me tell you, it is)....I would normally be super happy with these numbers because I wasn't thinking :otj: was going to be a possibility for him and now that maybe JUST maybe it might be, it is making me more frustrated. So please don't get me wrong, I really am super happy with his numbers right now but in the context of a reduction for normal numbers it is frustrating (something else I never thought he would get). In the last 16 cycles, he has gone above the 120 mark 3 times. 5/19 PM he was 145 and his next test at +3.25 was 69, 5/23 PM he was 129 and his next test at +3.25 was 78 and finally 5/24 AM he was 124 at +9.5 and 98 at PMPS. So even when he does have those higher numbers, he does tend to come down very nicely, I am not sure if that comes into play in the decision making or not.

I know a lot could happen between now and PMPS and then again between PMPS and +3. but thought I would throw it out there this morning to see what others thought. I notice there are some people who are on mainly during the day time hours and others who are on mainly during the night time hours and I wanted to get everyone's input, so.....
 
I'm glad you got a cuddly Skooter again last night. I don't know about the dose, but am interested to see what others say.
 
Like Carla I can't advise you and don't know what I would do if he were mine. I'll be watching though.
 
I am sure no one is gonna understand, because his numbers are so good, and I understand that, but this is just so flipping frustrating.

He gets SO CLOSE to a reduction or to what I think is a breakthrough and then its like tisk tisk, nope, not yet. With his PMPS I guess I wait for the next number under 120 and restart this count for the THIRD time......

Again, I get his numbers are good and I am happy about that, but like I said before, I had resigned myself to the fact that OTJ was not going to be an option with him, but then after his dentals, he is doing so much better and he gets so bloody close and then BOOM.....I will have a pity party solo tonight and try to get out of this funk....
 
@Wendy&Neko He isn't great about eating his +9 snack during the AM cycle and I think it is because he moves down stairs for the second part of the day and he doesn't hear the autofeeder move. I don't want to have to get to the point where I am locking him in a room just to get him to eat the +9 snack. He likes to be able to roam. So if I had to choose between the two, I would rather give him the chance to meander around a bit.....

For his PM cycle, I moved that stuff into my bed room as he has been spending most of his nights with me again (yay) and he has been eating pretty much all of that....

I know it is stupid to be down and frustrated, but I am lol......
 
So close. Kind of like a long road trip. The closer you get to home, the longer the drive seems to be.

Nope, Molly. Understandable. It's almost within reach....almost. Just a little closer. But it's Skooter's dance. He rules! (Oh my, aint that the truth!)

Thanks @Wendy&Neko and @pollydoodle for the encouragement.....

He is such a male, insisting on leading this dance, I guess......this just brings out how not patient I am, not matter how much I like to think I am :rolleyes:

And now off to try and sleep off yet another headache.....BLAH....
 
You could always get a second autofeeder to put downstairs....

Yes, I know how badly you want this, but you can't rush it. Skooter will do it at his own pace and that's that. Stop looking so far ahead and look at the immediate future. Skooter is healing more and more every day with these numbers, and that is increasing his chances of staying OTJ if and when he goes there.

Sending vines for that headache.
