    I am stalling 15 minutes without feeding, and then I will retest him. I have not given him his PM shot yet since he is below 50. I guess he earned another darn reduction! I had measured 2.5u into the syringe and will remeasire to 2.25u and wait for him to go up to 50. Sticky says it would be okay to feed a tsp or two of LC if he is lingering in the 40s or dropping lower, so I will do that when I retest if his number hasn't gone up.

    Does my plan sound okay? I have never seen a preshot number below 50 before. This is new territory.

    Yes! I stalled 15 minutes, and his # came up to 50, so I did shoot. He is currently at 57 and I am giving him small amounts of MC

    So Samba & I were already awarded those :):):) to clarify, this was my first time getting a preshot number BELOW 50, but we have shot green now, I think, three times. Thank you so much for looking out for us!!! :bighug:

    It looks like Samba broke his bounce during the day like Gordy @CassAndGordy did yesterday. :D

    Good plan!
    Looking at the SS was like looking at Rex's SS. It's tiring but thrilling at the same time.

    Well look at Samba go! Congrats on the reducie. And good job shooting !

    You will want to test again 20 minutes from the 47 to makes sure he is coming up since onset probably hasn't happened yet.

    I can't stay on, ( I'm sick and going to bed soon . @Mandy & Rex can you hang with Sarah a bit?

    I can hang around for up to +4 (2 hours). I'll look around to find someone to take over if needed.

    Samba still bounces a bit so let's hope he does later so you can get some sleep! :bighug:

    Continuing to test every 20 min and will do so until he has two consecutive tests above 50. I hope you feel better!!!

    Gosh!!!! Rex's spreadsheet is simply breathtaking... if that's what this is, we would truly be blessed. @CassAndGordy, thanks for tagging @Mandy & Rex. It is encouraging to see that.

    I'm glad all went well today and you had the experience.....
    even some of the more experienced folks don't shoot a 50.

    So I just wanted to post for anyone LURKING ( Newbies)
    don't shoot this low of a number unless you have guidance from someone experienced.

    I just saw the 96. That's great. I'll wait for the +4 and hope it's around the 100 mark. I often fed Rex again before going to bed just so I had peace of mind. :)

    Yeah...I meant to get up an hour after that 72 reading but did not wake up...seriously sleep-deprived after the last several days :confused: he bounced to pink this morning. Had to come into work early so was unable to get a +1 or 2. Wonder how he will do tonight. Thanks for checking on us
