Good morning

 

[Merlin’sMama]

62 drop. Giving 9.8

 

[Merlin’sMama]

238 @+1.5. Tempted to feed again anyway… but could wait half an hour

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Waiting til +2 to feed

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I thought you were going with the higher carb this morning? I guess the 9.8 was a little higher carb. Oh well, I bet you have some ready for the next test in 2 minutes.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Ok… 68 drop. Could go for 9.8 or higher. 15?

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Giving 16 now

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Testing at +2.5

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Giving 16 now

Since it’s all trial and error, let’s see what happens today. You’re fine. Remember- no right or wrong. Just trial and error. Don’t be disappointed if he slows down. I do not think you will completely stall him and he will keep moving downward… but let’s see. Good job, Cat Mama.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

You need to give us time to respond.
I would have stuck with the high low carb but never mind.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I liked Marina’s comments yesterday about how she was handling Chico’s early dives (his nadir is super early though.). It’s definitely food for thought. I’m going to say “over and out” now since I see Bron is with you. I didn’t see that anyone had been on the thread yet so I commented to let you know I was here. “See” ya later!

 

[Merlin’sMama]

100 @2.5.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Going to give 9.8……

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Anybody??

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Looking now?

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Going to give 9.8……

Ok good call

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Testing in 17 minutes, at +3. (25 minutes after feeding the 9.8)

 

[Merlin’sMama]

77 @+3. Thinking of giving 4 to slow a little more?

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

77 @+3. Thinking of giving 4 to slow a little more?

I’d definitely feed at least 4

 

[Merlin’sMama]

I’d definitely feed at least 4

Higher?

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Higher?

I think I would maybe 7 or 8 because we don’t want him to drop too much lower and we are only at +3

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Giving 10g of 8

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Testing in 20 minutes, at +3.5

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Im wondering if it would be a smoother ride if we just give higher carb for breakfast these days. Even 13 or 15.

I’m not sure I would do that but if you want to try it , it’s your call.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

74 @+3.5

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

74 @+3.5

Do you think it would fill him up too much if you gave him some low carb (2%-4%) now …to encourage him to surf?

 

[Merlin’sMama]

I think wait to feed again at +4

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

I think wait to feed again at +4

Ok

 

[Merlin’sMama]

I think he would eat a small spoon of 1.6

 

[Merlin’sMama]

I sure hope he is finished dropping.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

70 @+4

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Well, only dropped 4. Should I give more very lc? I could give another small spoon. Or just leave it for now, but we really dont want him lower.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

I think that’s just meter variance….it’s really the same number. I think I would wait until the next test and see. He looks like he is surfing nicely.

 

[Merlin’sMama]

Ok, we will wait to test til +5, in 40 minutes, and then feed another spoon of lc then. Whew! Thank you, Bron.
