Hi @mageencaines @luvfmam @ca426 @eadutton @ctbohmbach @mkdial,
We’re live! Tech issues resolved.
Still quits after about 10 min. into program
How can I access the entire video? I was only able to see about 10 minutes of the discussion.
13 years boy rarly has dry night, his doctor started him on vasopressin but sometimes the medication is not available for him, what's the prognosis as general for cases like him and how about the safety of vasopressin. He has very deep sleep.
Hi @eadutton, We will update the page later today with the full video. Apologies for the delay.
Hi, @luvfmam. Here is a response from Erin, pediatric physical therapist, that you may find helpful: Bed wetting 1 – 2 times per month is not unusual for kids below age 10. Setting a potty-schedule every 2 – 3 hours throughout the daytime to pee (or at least attempt to pee), making sure the child is drinking water throughout the daytime, stopping fluid intake 2 hours before bedtime, eating lots of healthy fruits and vegetables, and make sure the child is listening and responding to his/her body’s urges to pee/poop as soon as the urge is sensed are all basic things that can set the stage for success and dryness at night.
Hi, @mageencaines. Here is a response from Erin, pediatric physical therapist, that you may find helpful: With regard to daytime urinary leaks, the child would benefit from a set voiding schedule throughout the day (every 2 – 3 hours) and discussion with the child’s primary care doctor about daytime and night time leaks would be warranted. If further assessment is recommended by primary care, then a referral to a pediatric urologist should be considered.
