The boys had appointments today with a urologist to discuss their night time bedwetting. Unfortunately, both still struggle with it. Here they are playing with a magnetic maze in the waiting room at Riley Outpatient Center. Long story short, the urologist gave us some suggestions to try before moving towards medication or a wetness alarm. One big thing is to "fluid shift". Basically, this means they are to drink 6-8 ounces of water every 1-1.5 hours throughout the day until after school. They are then to limit their fluids to 6-8 ounces from3:30 until bedtime. The concept is to trick the bladder into emptying itself often during the day and then not at night. We'll see how it goes. the good news is that they both had ultrasounds to check their bladders and kidneys...all checked out fine.
