Good morning

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Jill I have people to dinner tonight but I’ll be back online in a couple of hours. Looks like it might be a lovely cycle

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Major food bump

 

[Merlin’sMama]

That was confusing. We should have fed at +1.5, He had dropped 85, but he was back to were he started, so we didnt. Now, at +2, he dropped 46 in the last half an hour, but that totals a drop of 131 in the last hour. So we fed 10g of 8 just now.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Should have tested at 2.5. That was 101 drop. Feeding 8 now and testing in 30.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

95 @+3.5. Slowed down. Giving 10g of 4. Testing in 30.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

I hope 4 is high enough, but we will be testing in 20 minutes. He seems to have slowed a bit. I didnt want to shoot him back out of green by giving him higher lc. Hopefully this green is late enough that he will ease into it and not keep dropping to the bottom of it. Im scared though

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Hi Bron . I hope I’m not making a shambles of this cycle. I’m on tenterhooks for the next test.

I think you are doing well. It’s looking good. Merlin is getting more used to the greens now.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

At this point, do we feed him more 4… or even lower?

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

At this point, do we feed him more 4… or even lower?

He’s slowed right down. Maybe a teaspoon of 4 to help him surf and not drop.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

This is a super important decision. Im inclined to give 4 because he could drop more.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Feeding 10g of 4

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Testing in 20, at +4.5

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

You're doing great, Jill!

 

[Merlin’sMama]

You're doing great, Jill!

Thank you!! Im sitting on the edge of my seat!

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

This is a super important decision. Im inclined to give 4 because he could drop more.

It is always trial and error. But I think you made the right decision.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

We should have fed at +1.5, He had dropped 85, but he was back to were he started, so we didnt.

I don't know. You didn't mess anything up. Try not to second guess yourself so much. Maybe a little lower end LC would have been okay.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Feeding 10g of 4

Yes, a little 4 may be just the thing to keep him surfing (paws crossed here that Merlin isn't going to try to show us up!)

 

[Merlin’sMama]

79 @+4.5

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

79 @+4.5

This is great, he's holding steady. How about a small spoon of 1.4? or was it 1.7? Do you think he will eat more?

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Yes. We were thinking the same. I think he will eat.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

I think another small teaspoon of a low carb to keep him surfing too..

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Feeding 5g (small spoon) of 1.6.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Testing in 20 minutes, at +5.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Whew! Surfing in greeeeeeeeeeen

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Maybe green is the new blue…..

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

I’m off to sleep, good night all
