Hi Diane, next time we'd recommend keeping your starter in the fridge while you're away for more than a day or two. It will help keep your starter viable. The health of your starter isn't clear; you'll want to discard all but 1/2 cup (4 ounces) and then feed it regularly at 12 hour intervals for a few days. If you don't see it rise and fall and regain activity within a day or two, you may want to start over. You'll also want to look out for any spots of discoloration; in that case, you'd want to toss it all and start fresh. Kye@KAF
