Okay, I know this may be pretty stupid, but here goes -
We bought Miralax powder today to start Hershey on. I know he's supposed to get 1/16th tsp, but does that mean measure out 1/16th powder and add to (how much) water? Or, Doug is asking can we mix it according to the directions and give him 1/16 tsp each time. If so, will it get funny?

Edited to make it today's condo:
8/24 Hershey
Kind of OT catch-up: When last we saw Hershey, he was enjoying some pretty greens at +8 on 8/24. Yesterday was a busy day and I was folding some clothes a co-worker of Doug's had sent to Ginnie. Oreo had a hairball near me and I know he's like a dog (nuf said) so ran to stop what I knew would happen. My right foot barely hit the floor, when my left touched down and promptly slipped out from under me. I gracefully sprawled out on my back and Doug came running. I was a little sore, but took a Tylenol and was thankful it wouldn't keep from Ginnie's baby shower. (2008 - When she got married, I had to miss both showers her mothers-in-law threw due to neck surgery. Did NOT want to miss another event!) I've not been 100% since whatever went wrong in my neck, so Doug was concerned that I may have hit my head. Honestly, it happened so fast I can't be sure. The shower was fun, as was cooking out at Ginnie's house afterward. (And, Jessica's pie was TASTY!)
Well - not sure what I did in the fall, but something isn't right in the neck/shoulder area. Doug is thinking maybe I tried to catch myself - who knows - again, it was fast. Anyhoo - I'm hoping my body is just angry about the incident and will have forgiven me by tomorrow. Doug is insistent I take something later to knock me out (and he'll handle kitty detail) hoping it'll right itself.
To help you make some sense out of Hershey's SS: The 20-hour cycle worked okay when we moved Joseph in, so we thought we'd do that again, yesterday. Actually, we had hoped that his numbers wouldn't be toooo bad when we got home and we could just do a 24-hour cycle and stay on schedule. Well, no such luck. Don't know if he ate his FF AND Oreo's we had in the auto-feeders; at any rate, he was (534) at +20 (I know, I'm a bad mom :cry: .) so we went ahead and shot at 11:20pm. We were in church at 11:20am, so we delayed and shot at +15.5, putting us back on schedule. Well, at +15.5 he was (160) - go figure!
So, all is well in Hershey's world. Going to try to Miralax in 1.5 hours at mealtime. I'll let you know how it goes.
Have a great evening -
Libby (& Hershey, too!)
PMPS (160) +15.5 - Shot .65u at 3:00pm
+4.25 (106)
+5.5 (94) - fed + 1/16th tsp Miralax
+7 (103)

We put 1/16t in a little bowl and add about a tablespoon of water, enough to dissolve the miralax. Then pour that on his food. I'm sorry about your fall - ouch. I hope you're feeling better tomorrow.
