Yesterday was Webber's 5th birthday!

Don't have much to day.  Except the other day when I was cleaning out the litter box I came upon a pee clump that looked a little too big for my liking.  I of course freaked out, but it has only been that one.  And it could have been two together.  It is hard when you have four cats.....

So anywho, yesterday was Webber's birthday.  I was so happy to tell him Happy Birthday and that he was healthy today!!!  We are just feeling blessed and taking it day by day.  It is easier and easier to not test.

This morning though I slept in again and wanted to check if him being hungry made a difference on his BG.  When I got up it was 89.  I fed all the kiddos and one hour later his BG was 69.  HAPPY HAPPY!  DH is amazed at how well his pancreas is doing.  I just give him extra hugs and kissed every day and feel lucky that we were one of the quick fortunate ones.

Well-----it has been a month and counting!!!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!  It has been a month and counting since Webber's last insulin injection.  I still test on occasion to make sure he is within normal ranges.  So far so good.  His coat is getting better all the time.  I finally made the decision to switch their food to Wellness and stop feeding the Petsmart "Sophisticat" because I think it is better for them.  Wellness had no grain products, no animal by-products and the flavors I am feeding are low carb.  Plus it doesn't smell as bad as some of the other stuff.  Whew---some of those others would literally make me gag some early mornings. lol

I have also introduced the Raw diet, but Lacey and Webber are the only ones to eat it.  However, the company has had two recalls since I tried the darn things.  The first bag was given to my by my neighbor, I fed a little and they liked it.  Then I find out that there is a recall for the bag I have.  I hang onto it for a few weeks and finally go and get an exchange.  Fed a little and they liked it, two days later the company recalls that bag.  Jeez. I am going to try again....third times a charm right?

Don't spend as much time on the message board anymore.  DH said I was obsessed and I guess I was.  I try to just get on  for short periods to check on the kitties and beans that I have been following.  I also check in the Health section to see if there are any newbies that needs some help.  I remember too well how scary that diagnosis is.  You would think you had been diagnosed yourself!

I think it is time to feed the kiddos so I am off til next time.

Webber and his 9 days off the juice

Things have gotten better over here in the falls.  Webber is still being playful which is always a good sign that his BG's are good.  I am getting better too at not wanting to test as much.  I have gotten down to testing every couple of days.  Hey-that is progress for me. lol  I still continue to get up on the weekends at the old testing time to feed all the babies.  I am still scared to change the routine up for fear of causing some sort of stressor that could cause a change for Webber.  Talk about paranoid eh?  All changes will come with a thought out process and will happen gradually--if I can help it!

DH asked me if I was still going to keep this blog going.  I said that I wasn't sure.  As long as I have things to work out in my head I will post.  I hope that Webber will be enjoying his time off the juice for a very very long time and I won't have to start this up again. *antijinx*

I am also spending less time on FDMB.  Getting some of that out of my head has been good for me, but I still visit to help out when I can with the newbies.  I feel so invested in that message board that I want to dedicate my time to paying back with newbies.
