Today has been an exciting and nervous day for Webber and me. Well....I am pretty sure Webber is just fine and dandy....it is me that is nervous and unfocused at work.
Tried a few times this morning with DH testing Webber's pads. Those pads don't cooperate to much. Too many little crevices for the bead of blood to sink into. So we gave up and said we would try again on Saturday.
This decision didn't sit too well with me though. As I was getting ready for work I was wandering around worried and feeling that is just wasn't right to get a BG reading on him. My DH asked me what was wrong. I told him that I was worried about Webber being hyperglycemic. Hubby told me not to obsess about it and that he would be fine, but that if I wanted to try again he would help me. At this point I was already supposed to be at work.
I had a different pen and lancet available, so I decided to give it a try. Up until that point I had been testing freehand with just the lancet, but I knew it was hurting him. With the pen he doesn't even feel it (YAY!) I went into the closet where he was laying down (a morning routine) and tested his little ear with the different pen and bigger lancet. SUCCESS! But his BG read 350.
We agreed that Webber should go ahead and get his first injection from mommy. My hubby suggested 1-1.5U. I held firm at 0.5U. The guardian angels in Lantus Land also agreed that 0.5U was good to start with.
Ran home during my lunch break to test him at +3 and his BG was 254. Woohoo! I was not able to test him at +6 but hoping he is okay. When I left earlier there was still wet food out for them to graze on.
One hour to go before I rush home and get the +9 reading!!

Hi Paige, I found your blog from your sig on FDMB. This is Sarah of Sarah and Buzz. :)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to comment and say that I've started reading Webber's blog from the beginning and have gotten this far. It is so clear to me how much you love him, and the title of this post in particular made me smile.
He is lucky to have you as his mama, looking out for him, educating yourself and making great decisions on his behalf. :)
I am happy that you are finding it interesting. It has really helped me vent my emotions and learning experiences since this journey started. Hope it doesn't put you to sleep. LOL
