We had a good run for a while

WoW!  This last weekend was a little miracle.  Webber had a nice run with blues for more that 24 hours straight.  That means that his BG's were in the 100's for quite a long time.  I was so happy and he really seemed to feel better as well.  He was being his old playful self.  I guess I had forgotten how much he would just lay around.  I got used to that when he had his multiple orthopedic issues....he would just lay around.  But, even though I was feeling happy, in the back of my mind I was also being really paranoid that it wasn't going to last.  Being my superstitious self, I figured that once I vocalized how well he was doing that would be the end of it.  I have seen multiple other cats on the message board that have had numbers all over the place so I wasn't expecting to be so lucky.

This morning my fears came true.  Webber's AMPS was in the upper 200's and I was decidedly very sad.  I tried to convince myself that this was bound to happen and his numbers will come down again, however I had to come home for lunch just to see if the numbers were coming down.  I was able to come home and get a +5 reading and yes the numbers had dropped, but not enough to settle my nerves.

This evening his PMPS was even higher--in the 300's.  I admit I had to have a drink after that.  Yes, I am weak when it comes to my nerves (lol).  I was just able to test +2 since his PM shot and he had dropped about 60 points. That is great!!

So today was my little pity party again.  I hate to whine about Webber's numbers when I see so many others kitties with such higher sugar counts.  But when it is your baby it is hard.  I was so determined when we started this that I was going to fix him and make it all better for my baby.  I am still determined but I am slowly learning that the process is not so straight forward and takes a lot of patience that I lack already.  They say god won't give you anything you can't handle.  We shall see how this goes later tonight.

  1. It's like trying to stop smoking. You do good for a while, then slip. But if you're really determined, you get back on track and next time it'll be longer before you slip, and eventually you'll have it totally under control.

    Every time he goes a few days with good sugars, his body does some healing.

When the dog is scared of the cat. Current Situation....

Tough for her. I've been using a water bottle to squirt her when she gets too close to the door. Until we can get the pet door that only...
