AMPS 305
KT's AMPS has food in it but I was hoping we'd ditched those 300's...not quite yet. He doesn't look like he's feeling well altho' he's eating well. I finally confirmed a suspicion I've had for a while - Fancy Feast is giving him the diarrhea AND upsetting Dakota's stomach. I only buy Chicken pate and Chopped Grill. It's not a single batch, it's all of it. This has been happening for a while now but I couldn't figure out what it was. I don't buy a lot as it's much more expensive than Friskies - they'd both have some for 3-4 days then have to finish the week on Friskies. The only way I figured it out this time was already suspecting it then carefully watching what happened each time. Every time we get explosive runny poop from KT. He's not had any in 2 days, last night's and today's poops were perfect. They were perfect last week's end until I bought some Monday. No more FFeast for da sugarboyz. That was their 'treat' food - guess it wasn't so great of a treat after all.

OH LOOK!!! A wonderful AMPS for extra sweet RockDoc! He did a HUGE nosedive last night - from 469 to 142 in 7 hours. That's WAY too steep again so I imagine he's going to bounce big time. He woke me up wanting food so I knew what was happening....fed him at 4am which is likely what stopped the dive from going further. He feels so awful when he's having to sit on that bouncy ball.
Update on my dad - he's now refusing food, water, meds...he's telling everyone he's ready to go since no one will take him home. I get to see him for the first time in 2 weeks this afternoon but DM warned me he's still ranting and acting badly. I'm not sure if this is going to be a good visit or a bad one. I'm excited on one hand, dreading it on the other. The 'good' nursing home for 'mental' patients sort of shut the door in DM's face yesterday after they found out that another nursing home was also called by the hospital. She's heartbroken. She is filing paperwork today for guardianship which gets around the POA that she doesn't have. There's no problem with her getting it, it's just going to take time which the current hospital doesn't like. I imagine he'll REALLY act up and still refuse everything when he has to go from there into a nursing home instead of 'home'. When his brain was still lucid, this is what they decided but with his 'Parkinson's brain' now, he doesn't remember it. Thoughts and prayers definitely needed.
BIG HUGS to all that visit today!
