Good morning.

Kiwi's first shot was last night. I'm still feeling uneasy about giving him his shot (he's a little heavier than last year, so it doesn't "feel right"), so if anyone has advice or links (esp video) for finding a good spot, please let me know.

Today: AMPS - 376, +3 -137.

Is he dropping too early?

Sorry if I'm not much fun...I'm exhausted (still scared to leave him unsupervised very long, so I haven't slept much). I can't remember how I used to relax.

I tested him 30 min later and he's 154 (up from 137). I'm not sure what to make of that.
 
It could be a response to the food or it could be the normal variance (20%) due to the meter or numbers could be going back up. Later tests will tell.
 
Thanks for the advice. I did give him a spoonful of food. I forgot how stressful these first days are!!!
 
AMPS 376
+3 - 137
+4 - 154
+5 - 190
+6 - 234

PMPS 339
+3 - 226

These are today's numbers. He didn't drop as much tonight as it did this morning, but he came in the bedroom this evening having had a nice bath...looking fluffy and clean again, and obviously feeling better than he has been.

I haven't been able to get a late-cycle number, but I'm still trying. My own infusions are at 1pm and 1am (+6 for Kiwi). They make me too tired to stay awake, but at least that leaves me up and alert for his lowest numbers (he eats immediately before my IV, so I hope he'll always be safe). If anyone has any suggestions to time this better, let me know. Kiwi is back to napping/sunning at the foot of the bed, so at least I can sneak a peek at him often.
