Good Morning LL! After the pukus again yesterday Beef is definitely off the menu. I'm going out to find some MC that is lower phos to mix w/ the NV raw. Unfortunately the only raw that is higher carb is the beef! :-x For now I'll mix something else in, depending on what I can find. I'm considering a little sweet potato too. I have a variation on my homemade recipe w/ sweet potato added, it raised the carb % too much but if I just used 1/4 of what is called for it should be about right. That might work to add to the NV raw too. I think she is bouncing so much because the carbs she is getting in her food right now are not enough to balance out even the tiny amount of insulin she is getting. Going less w/ the insulin doesn't seem to work, so going a little more w/ both the carbs and the insulin might be easier to balance out.

This bounce is taking longer than usual to clear, the patience pants are wearing out! I'll add a drop tonight or maybe tomorrow morning depending on what happens at PMPS. It could be the stress w/ John away and my emotional state too.

Thanks for all the support yesterday. I want to clear up that I did know about the plan to take DM to a home, just not that S was going to do it so suddenly. We had looked at the home together and it seems quite nice w/ a good staff. How she did it was just too abrupt, though, and DM was confused and hurt by the suddenness of it. S said that she was crying an begging to go home when she and my nephew took her over. I should have been included to help DM understand and comfort her. I feel shut out, but S seems to think I should have been to keep checking on her actions.

DM seemed more settled yesterday when I saw her. Rather sad, but not tearful. We couldn't talk much, she is very hard of hearing and we were in the TV lounge w/ others. Mainly I sat there and held her hand. I actually think that she will be better off and get more attention there.

WCR Just 4 Ps, but very playful this morning, Clean Plate Club and cuddly. A little hacking, but no furball yet.

Hi Ann, I am experimenting with the foods, too. I didn't get out to food shop as it's 92 here, hot!
Good luck with getting the right carb mix in with the raw and balancing things.
Thanks for explaining about DM and yesterday. It's too bad your S did it so abruptly and you were left out of going with your DM and explaining it to her. That had to be very traumatic for your Mom. It sounds like you've had some time to spend with her and she's a little better. Saying some prayers for your Mom and comfort vines and for you, too. I think, too, she will get lots of good care and companionship once she settles in.
My Mom is in her 90's and still lives alone, so I know we all may be faced with the same thing.

nailbite_smile nailbite_smile To increase or not to increase! She may be coming down, I think I'll give her till morning. So is it patience pants or indecision!???

Oh.. Tess.
No more pink!

Yellow Blue or Green
leave the pink for the little bean girls and pepto bismol.

Prayers for your family. Hope you DM adjusts quickly.

Tried Avoderm Chicken (9% carbs/196mg/100kcal phos, (.98%)) Tess snarfed it up. Yay! One new food approved, I hope it continues along w/ the downward trend.

Hi Ann,
Thinking of you and your DM. I hope it will work out well for her once she gets adjusted. I went through this with my dear auntie (who was in her 90s at the time). It was not easy, but she did more or less get adjusted. My aunt had lived all her life in the house in which she had been born (in 1901). She broke her hip at age 91 and was no longer able to live there. I think it's easier if a person has had different living situations in her life: then it is just another change of venue.

I hope you find the right combination of food/dose for Tess. We all seem to be going through a phase right now.

Have a good evening,

Ella & Rusty

HI Ann - so sorry for the late visit. I hope all will work out OK for your DM. Hope too that she feels better today about it all, nice though that you could spend time with her - sometimes just holding of the hand is so much comfort.

sorry Tess is on the pink floor - so is Mannie. We get one good day, followed by a couple not so good. and what to do... I hope she comes down soon for you.
 
Re: 9/30 Tess AMPS~313 PMPS~315

(((Ann))) That is really tough about DM, there just aren't very good choices to be made. I hope she can adjust to the new place. And Miss Tess, that stinky pinky just doesn't do a thing for you. Lets see some nice blues tomorrow, 'k?
Liz
