8/28 Callie PMPS 238, +2.25 176, +4 150, +9.5 174

+4 289. Annnnnd we screech to a halt :arghh:. Will do a later cycle +8 or +9 check to see if she is doing her Callie "special" in preparation for some rocking and rolling tonight.

Wondering if you need an increase. Maybe the threat will work? :)
ETA: With that +4 you can go to bed but set an alarm for +9

Was wondering that myself (and hope that the threat does work...) :)

I napped today anticipating a long night -- do you think it is worth trying to get a +6 and then a +9? Or are you pretty sure she'll nadir late given how slowly she's dropping now? (She's been very hungry today and she did eat quite a bit at +2.25 and +3.25 but all LC. Not sure how much of a bump that would give her.)

She seems to have slowed down between +2.25 and +4. One can't be pretty sure of anything with sugarcats, but she's clearing a bounce and she could have a later nadir. I would skip the +6 and get a +9.5 instead. That way you can feed before the 2 hour window if she's green and prevent a low AMPS.

Sounds like a plan :) If she is green but above 50 at +9.5, should I just feed some LC? Or a teaspoon of MC?

Depends on how high or low the greens are. If she is in higher greens (say above 85), LC should do. If in doubt, just feed LC with half a spoon of MC. :-)
Lower greens, go for MC.
 
Sounds good. Just one thing re timing: I have an appt tomorrow - have to leave home at +4ish and will be back at about +8. Callie's dad will be here to generally monitor and feed her but I'm not sure if he'll be able to test himself. So might make sense to increase tomorrow pm or Tuesday am instead of tomorrow am if no greens between now and then. (I know they don't always respond right away to a dose change and Callie didn't to the first couple early on but did with the most recent increase to 2.25.)

Anyway, I hope she's listening to all of this talk of an increase...
