His AMPS was better this morning. I'm assuming his prednisolone is the reason he went up at +4. We'll check again this afternoon to see if he comes down some.
Logan is doing well. He's eating very well. He woke me up at 4 this morning and ate 1 1/4 cans of FF. This morning, he ate 3/4 can of FF at AMPS and another 1/2 can of FF at +4. He's been sleeping a lot this weekend, which isn't surprising. I'm sure he didn't sleep much last week. He's hanging out in the living room more, another good sign he's feeling better. I'm sure he can't wait to get this drain out of him!
Jojo, the internist is planning on weaning him off of the pred this next week. She said we'd talk about it on Tuesday when we bring him in for the drain to be removed. A little fluid is still draining out. We are keeping track of how much we syringe out of it each night. Last night, it was about 4 ml. It had been a little over 24 hrs since the ER tech last emptied it. We're doing warm compresses 2-3 times a day for 10 minutes each.

We'll go up to 3 units tonight. They had to significantly decrease his insulin b/c he kept dropping, but he wasn't eating well. So, we're working our way back up...hopefully, we won't need to go so high to see some decent numbers.
What a sweet boy I have! And he is by far the best V-day present I've ever had. I'll take him over chocolates any day. :mrgreen:
