Morning!!! 
I havent done the AMPS or her shot yet (its too early) But I thought I would get my condo going, in case I get too busy later to write this post. I tested her about an hour or so ago. Its in the 400s. Im going to assume its bc she got a half fur shot in her AM shot yesterday. I hope these numbers come down. They have been high for a while now. Last night I have her a new food. A Whiskas chicken pate. Yesterday I bought the wrong one and didnt realize it until this morning. The Pate has 10 carbs, I meant to grab the Whiskas chicken dinner which has 4 carbs. ohmygod_smile (Ive been so frazzled the last few days, im making stupid mistakes
) Friskies is pate, not Whiskas ohmygod_smile So she ate most of what I put out last night (about 2 oz) That may have contributed to the high numbers. Although they were high before I gave her that food....
Other than that shes doing great. She officially hates getting her ears pricked. And hates her tube feeds too. She keeps trying to get away from me. LOL Shes also refusing to be be closed off anymore. So I let her have more free roam of the house when she wants. Daytime, she stays in the master bedroom/bathroom/closet area. At night I let her out of the bedroom to snooze on the couch with Connick (who still hisses at her) while Hubs and I watch TV. She always looks so peaceful. Sleeping on her back
In the mornings I let her out to hang out on the window sills.
Other than that, not much else going on
Im having a hard time figuring out the ratio of tube feeds to self feed... Im actually really curious to see how much she would eat on her own if I wasnt tube feeding her at all. Would she eat the small 3 cans she used to before she was sick? But Im to scared to even try that. I have cut back the tube feedings a little, but Im to nervous to do much more than what I have already. Baby steps...

KT, Karrie, Melissa, Trixiecat, Sandy, Marjorie, Nancy -->> Thank you guys for your posts yesterday. I re-read them again this morning and feel much better today. I went to bed early, got some good sleep, my spirits are higher and I feel great! There will be other weddings and more trips to the zoo. One day I will be able to sleep through the night again and not have to blend cans of catfood everyday. I just need to look at this as a temporary situation, not permanent one. If there is even one cat out there, whos owner has read my story and has done the same for her little one, and saved her life, then it is definitely worth it. Knowing I still have Garland here and shes almost back to old self brings me great joy. I would have been devastated to lose her. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your kind words yesterday. I will admit, they had me tear up a little. Yall are the best!! I really needed that yesterday ((((((hugs))))))
