Morrie went “OTJ”* Jan 15, 2009* OTJ means Off the Juice. Thanks to the Feline Diabetes Message Board and especially to Team J (JoJo and Jill) in LantusLand, we closely monitored Morrie’s blood glucose levels and adjusted his insulin levels to keep him “SURFING” in the “healing zone” (under 120). With many ups and downs, hundreds of ear pricks and dozens of sleep-deprived nights, we managed to wean him off the insulin by allowing his pancreas to heal (ONLY cats have this ability). We’re grateful that Morrie is feeling frisky again, has his silky coat back and is healthy. We’re also grateful to be getting more sleep and to be able to go out at night without worrying.
Below, preserved primarily for our own pleasure, are both the message board OTJ Party video (thanks to D) held on January 28 after completing 2 weeks OTJ. Below that is our own thank you video back to the community. ENJOY! |
