Good, still a fairly gentle slide...
I know ...for Elmo ...haven't fed him since + 9 ....just nibbles a bit just now (LC)Good, still a fairly gentle slide...
Cool. It was a real time and mess saver for me. That is one thing I learned-ANYTHING to make life easier and saved time was worth the price@LizzieInTexas Received the strainer you recommended today ( got 2 cos it's just what I do) and of course it is awesome ...after all, it is Lizzie certified
Thanks for tip . Whenever he looks like a deep dive may be hatching I pre squeeze so I'm ready !!!
Thanks , Nan .Hmm, good question. I think I'd stick with LC+smidge MC since he's still dropping. In general, with most cats, we'd just give LC at this point, but Elmo really likes to break rules, and he's been doing well so far gliding down with that little boost of MC.
Going forward tonight should I test each hour until bedtime ( around + 4) and continue LC plus smidge MC ? What to do to help surf safely overnight ? I'm just full of questions ...full of something anyway. Thank you so much for all your help. Miss Amber is blessed to have u for a momma bean
She is a beautyIf bedtime is +4, then, given Elmo's history, it probably makes sense to test hourly for a while. That way, if it looks like he's going to do some serious diving, we can be more aggressive in intervening to make sure he doesn't go low in the overnight.
For now, the LC+MC seems to be doing really well at keeping him under control, so let's stick with that. It may be more carbs than he really needs, but the worst that happens is he floats a little higher than he would have otherwise, right?
Amber is doing great, thanks for asking!

She is a beautyShe and Elmo followed similar paths with going into remission after just 6 months and staying OTJ for 2 years ....sending prayers she is getting close to OTJ #2

Well we just got a 206 at +2.....gave 1/2 LC 1/2 MC ....should I give some more MC now ...just ate ab 30 minutes agoI see Elmo's still keeping it interesting!![]()
@Nan & Amber @MrWorfMen's MomAhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!ELLLLLMOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! [shakes fist at lightning-filled sky]
That boy. Bumping up the carbs was a good call, and if it were me, I'd give him a top-up of MC, yes.
Definitely breaking the bounce! I wasn't sure he was going to go for it after the skipped shot, but here we are!
He got the mess slapped out of himself first part of life by our sassy lone female. Then the tabby brothers came along and he had two guy pals . He is a pretty chill kitty .Did Elmo have that "Who me?" look on his face as a kitten. He just looks like he's full of mischief.
Good ...was thinking that but wasn't sure ...when should I retest ? + 3.5 ?Those are essentially the same reading with meter variance so leave him for the moment and see what he does. Maybe his free fall has stopped.
Good night , Nan...much appreciation for having our backsI agree.... cross fingers Elmo has tired shenanigans for a little while!
I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to head out now. You are in good hands, and Elmo is doing great!

No biggieOh man, I typed a message, got waylaid by a nosy cat and and a CO2 detector low battery warning driving me nuts and forgot to hit post. Sorry. Test again at +3.5.


God bless you and Myster ...snd those other twoHe's holding. Let's hit the sack after leaving Elmo a little grub. Me thinks your concoction of LC and MC would be great. Sweet dreams to you and that little man!![]()


You are our best , Linda !!! Night night 
Gave him MC...waking to that gave me quite a jolt !! Was going to test at + 10 which is 10 more minutes @LizzieInTexas @carfurbyThank you, CarlaIt looks like he's surfing safely. I think you are okay to wait until AMPS to test again.
What in the world is this cat up to ??? AMPS should be interestingNice. Surfing blue. Fingers crossed that there is no bounce. Did you get enough rest to shoot full dose? I agree, will be an interesting AMPS and cycle. Headed into work. Will try and ck in, in about an hour.+10 131.

Oh Elmo. You do like keeping it exciting!![]()
