I hope Rudy slides down and gives you more blue today. I hope today is a better day for you. Sending prayers.

I think if he doesn't give you a green by today, you might want to go back up to the 5 units again. It's not uncommon for kitties to dance around the same dose a few times. The bounce has had enough time to clear.

If there's no green today - I'll bump him up tomorrow morning. (I hate changing doses at night since I like to be able to monitor the first cycle closely.) Today is day 5 at 4.75, so he's not to far from a scheduled increase anyway.

I don't blame you for wanting to do the increase at night because of the monitoring thing.
I am going to tag @carfurby as she knows SLGS better than me. TR has guidelines for failed reduction but SLGS doesn't talk about it. I am not sure if you need to hold the new dose any required time. But let's see what Carla says.

Technically there is not any provision for a failed reduction with SLGS. However, you have been on this dose for almost a week and you get plenty of tests in. I think you are okay to go back to 5.0 units as long as you don't see any green today. If you don't want to increase the dose tonight, you can wait until tomorrow morning and increase. That will give you a full 5 days on the 4.75 units dose.
Technically the SLGS guidelines would have you hold the dose seven days, for any lurkers reading this. Good luck with the increase.

Wendy, does that apply to a reduction ? Nothing in the SLGS guidelines talk about a failed reduction.
@Bobbie And Bubba Correct, there is no concept of failed reduction with SLGS. You just hold the dose a week, curve, and decide on the data where to go with the dose.
