Good morning World!!! Yesterday
pm+10 - 115
AMPS 120
WOOHOO!!! He got rid of that nasty kibble sugar last night - didn't wake up to eat so it just gobbled it all up! There's actually food in that AMPS too....only 2% but it IS food. He's suddenly doing SO well but I THINK it's taken me almost a year to figure out just how his body works this juice stuff. When he is low in the mornings, it was only because he didn't eat overnight. If I feed him a 6-7% carb food shortly after PMPS, he surfs nicely thru the night as he sleeps. We're gonna try to stay on this surf board all day if we can....
Mr. Liver hasn't been bringing as much sugar to the parties lately!!!
HARLEY (lymphoma drooler)! He's still doing amazing! The neck knot on his left side is a little more swollen today but I can't hardly even feel the right side one!!! The ones in his back legs are down, I only find 1 in his groin area - I know there are 4 of them there. I know we won't ever be 'cured' but as long as I can keep it in remission like this, we have more days to dance together. I'm not sure just what's doing it, he takes one prednisone daily for inflammation, I started him on another round of ab's Tuesday just because this kills his immune system. He gets 1/4th cup of yogurt daily and is on grain free Science Diet softened hard food mixed with Science Diet 'Ideal' canned. This is the diet I changed him to when we were dx'd - I truly believe it's part of what's helping keep this monster at bay.
OH I HAZ BOUNTY!!! This morning I harvested 5 cucumbers, 2 okra and a whole bunch of parsley! There's another 10-12 cucumbers that will be ready in the next day or two. Time to make the first batch of pickles shortly!
Schniggles - she's doing VERY well - actually SQUATTED to poop yesterday! Outside! And she controlled it! THIS is a HUGE step forward!!! She's not been able to control 'when' since we found her 3 weeks ago. For some reason she doesn't seem to be regaining weight as rapidly as she did the first couple of weeks. She feels good but I can feel her ribs now. I've learned more about pugs in the last month than I ever wanted to know...never been a 'pug' fan but I sure am a 'Schniggles' fan. Her chest area was huge when we found her altho' her hips and legs were just bones. I thought she was losing weight when her chest area began shrinking but discovered that a pug has a very heavily muscled chest, the 'huge' I was seeing was because all the muscles inside had gone limp and were pushing out as well as in on her other organs. She's actually feeling much better now even tho' she's looking skinnier.
Another long winded day...whew I can run on can't I? Thoughts and prayers today for all needing them - Mel/Musette, Kim losing KittyGirl, Roni/Moonie and others I'm forgetting.
BIG HUGS to all that visit today!!! Hope YOUR day is as good as ours is going to be....
