8/12 Jack 235@AMPS, 138@ +5hrs AM-bad shot today

[Jack & Mopem'sMom]

Well, we had a bad shot this morning. Normally Jack sits nicely on the table and lets me test and shoot him with no problems. Today his brother decided to jump up as I was shooting, and he moved. The syringe came out and there was still insulin in it. I settled him down and finished the shot in a slightly different spot although close to the original injection site. I did not redraw any insulin, I just finished what was already measured out. (9.5units) I felt his skin, it wasn't wet or sticky, but I'm not sure if he got the whole dose or not, and it was in two different spots. We never have a dull moment here. Will see what happens over the weekend with numbers, and make decision Sunday on increase or not. We did have another green number so very much up in the air about what to do next. As always, thank you all so much for your time and support; it is impossible to say how much they mean to us.

I would be willing to bet there is no one here who hasn't had at least one fur shot. And from the looks of it, yours may not have been a furshot, but I get it is upsetting when something happens to interrupt the shot itself. You are relatively new at it, and shot and test time can be a little nerve wracking anyway. Jack saw blue this morning, so that was good. You are doing a great job, Jack is very blessed to have you as his human!

Thanks so much for your support. It really helps. I'm doing the best I can, just upset that it doesn't seem to be enough, fast enough, to get him where he needs to be. Thanks again.
