Thanks again everyone for the kind words and having Bobo, Phoebe, and me in your thoughts. I'm truly touched by all your kindness. I miss him beyond words.

Thank you Sharon yeah hit me pretty hard again this morning I can't bring myself to pick up Bobo's food bowl.
 
I'm so sorry Eric. We know the pain you are feeling. You did the best you could and since it was his time, you unselfishly helped him over the bridge. That's true love.
 
Looking at Phoebe's spreadsheet,Eric, I wonder if it's time to change the dose around a smidge. It looks to me like 2 units is okay for 350+ but maybe a bit too much for the -250. It took 2 cycles for the lows to show up, although the first shot of 2 on 270 on 9/27 could have had a lower nadir. Any way you can avoid the bounce into the blacks helps.

We think the renal threshold (the range at which the pancreas can heal) is -250 so any time she spends in that range is great.

I hope you are adjusting to your new household, remembering the funny things Bobo did and how much he enjoyed living with you, and the wonderful, fun, love filled life you gave him. Is Phoebe missing him?

Thanks Sue I'm at work reading this. Can l message you when l get home to discuss in more detail? As for Phoebe and I we're adjusting to Bobo not around. There's been times I've seen her looking for him. Tuesday night after Bobo had passed. Phoebe ran full speed through the house upstairs and downstairs at full speed. She's never done the whole house like that. She does that too call Bobo out and get him to tackle her followed by wrestling, kisses, and licks. I'm hurting for her. :(

Thank you so much for helping Phoebe and l. I know we need it. I hope she can't feel my sadness. I'm doing my best to be upbeat. As for my units what do you recommend for 250 and below?
 
I haven't been around lately. I just checked your thread and wanted to say I'm sorry about Bobo. You're a wonderful caregiver. Your cats are lucky you're their dad.

Thank you Aby. That's nice of you to say! I feel I'm the lucky one for they have found me! I just wish their time here on earth was longer.
 
Eric - I am just reading this thread and was just shocked when I came to the post about losing Bobo. Fourteen is so young. I am very sorry - that is not at all what I was expecting. Very very sorry for your loss - how is Phoebe coping with losing him?
You are doing such a great job with little Phoebe
again, my condolences, Eric

Thank you Carol for the nice words. Just got home with Bobo's ashes and it's saddens me to know that's all that's left of my beautiful friend. Phoebe's being Phoebe she's good. But I think she knows he's not coming back.
 
Nice amps! The last few cycles have been nice blues and yellows, Eric. She really is a cat who takes awhile to react to a dose change, but eventually she drops. All this time spent below the renal threshold of 250 has to be good for her pancreas.
