I am dealing with the same. Mom will just go on the floor at times. I try to tell her her diaper only comes off in the bathroom, but it doesn’t always work that way. I did order some absorbent powder granules to make the mess easier to clean up. I also ordered a helio air broom. I’m in the midst of learning all this. Much has been trial and error thus far. It is has been very traumatic. Praying for you.

I will pray for you also. You are correct in saying that it is trial and error. I don't have any medical background and only have help for 4 hours on two days of the week when I am working my part time job. I had no idea how difficult this was going to be. She can't be left unattended, so unless I'm at work, I'm confined to my house with her. My husband has been so supportive. He is still working full time and is very concerned about caregiver burnout with me. We are going on 5 months of her living with us and honestly, I don't know how I'm going to continue. I'm so thankful for this forum. No one else seems to understand. Hang in there.
