First: she was super cuddly last night - got on the bed for cuddles three times! Lots of purring. That's a first, second and third for her at home in Chicago. (she also got a bath from Beau during one of those times).

Second: her amPS was 65!

Now, I would have gotten up to test her last night during the cuddle-fest, but I didn't want to wake up my mother by turning on lights and running the micro (rice sock) and I didn't want to have Cami equate getting on the bed for cuddles with getting tested. However, it was unusual enough that I wondered if she was low. She did have plenty of food down. After this morning's PS I really wonder where she was at overnight. It would have been +3 to +8 or so.

So, for now, I am holding off insulin and will test in another couple of hours. Do not shoot number is now 125-130.

What wonderful presents - lots of cuddles and a pretty green AMPS.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

Wonderful!

Great presents for Christmas from a FD kitty cat who has been stand offish. Maybe that shell of hers is cracking!

I hope we have turned a corner - just wish the good wasn't accompanied by the peeing on my bedroom rug - something she had not done before. In fact, she is peeing on the spot where she was sleeping at night a lot and where I put a towel down for her a few weeks ago. Sigh...

+24 was 135 so I shot a tiny amount: .05u

Sounds like Cami is finally realizing that she is going to be loved and taken care of now, and doesn't have to fear being abandoned, so she can now return your affection!

I just wish she would stop peeing out of the box, and that you could figure out why she does this. Sounds to me like she's marking her territory or something. I don't know.

I hope you had a great Christmas, Sheila!

More pee on the rug while I was gone... Sigh.

Suze, my holiday has been really stressful. My aunt went into the ER Sunday night right after my sister and mother got here and has been there (in the hospital) since. We canceled Xmas eve dinner and did Xmas day instead. I have been staying up late to finish gifts, squeezing in visits to my aunt (that you normally don't have to make time for) and I have had no time to myself and no time with just my sister. They are leaving tomorrow, which will be good for Cami's mental health, but I will be alone in dealing with my aunt. As you know that is exhausting. I have to see to her cats 20 mins away twice a day until she comes home. And I have to find someone who can stay with her for a day or two after she is home because I can't. I want a do-over. And so does my aunt, who really got scr*wed out of the holiday. I'm going to try and redo a Christmas dinner for her as soon as she is able to eat it, but my mom and sister can't come back any time soon.
 
Sheila,

I'm so sorry that Christmas was so stressful for you, and that you didn't get to spend any time alone with your sister. (((HUGS)))

Your aunt is a very lucky woman to have you nearby. And that is so sweet that you are going to do a Christmas dinner for her when she's out of the hospital and able to enjoy it. I totally understand how exhausting it is to be the only one around to care for someone in the hospital and take care for their home and pets as well. Check with your aunt's MD about writing an order for a home-health professional to help your aunt for a couple of days after she's home again. That way, Medicare should pay for it, and the hospital's social services department should be able to help you find someone to fit the bill.

I wish I could wave my magic wand and give you that Christmas re-do, but it's out of order. :lol: Hang in there, and I hope life gets easier for you soon!

Suze
