Today is the day!!

I dropped off my little baby Webber at the vet to start his insulin.  But not after crying last night.  I was so hopeful that diet alone would make a difference, but it did not make a good enough difference.  I know that in the long run this will make him feel much better, but I just feel so sorry for my baby.  It just isn't fair.

I packed up his little tote bag last night.  His syringes, a can of food, some treats, a print out of his BG#'s from home testing, glucometer.  Printed out instructions for the vet on how to remove the insulin from the pen (because she said she was not familar with it).  I was able to sleep because I medicated myself :-)

This morning at the vet I took a sharpie and wrote instructions on his can food of how to add water and make it like a thick shake consistany.  They probably think I am crazy, but I don't care....he is my baby for god sakes.

I called about 10 minutes ago and they told me that he did already start on the insulin.  So for the rest of the day they will test his BG every three hours. 

I finally stopped crying.  As soon as I walked out of the vets office the water works started.  Thomas fortunately called me as soon as I got in the car.  He must have known somehow that I needed him.  He talked me down and I calmed down a little, but cried some more until I got to the freeway.
