Finally!!
My son is now 12 yrs old (almost 13) and was still wetting the bed most every night. We tried a couple different alarms, restricted fluids, meds, urologist at Mass General, woke him in the middle of the night to pee… There were times that he would not wet the bed for a few days but without fail he would start again. The urologist told us that he would outgrow it as it was a matter of brain development and suggested meds for the time being. We tried the meds and he still wet the bed. We increased the dosage several times and he still wet the bed. We tried talking about it right before bed in hopes that his subconscious would make him wake up. We tried rewards too. At his age he is very money driven as there are many things he wants to buy. I offered him $10 per consecutive dry night and if he wet the bed he would owe me $5. He was losing money faster than making it. Finally we tried Therapee. At last we had some physical exercises to help control his bladder function and reason to believe we can win this battle. We followed the program and entered the data together and it started working. He now wets the bed ~once every two weeks at best. He has been doing the exercises daily and following the instructions and it is actually working. I finally feel like we are going to conquer this thing. The exercises are definitely working and they give him something to do to help himself as he wants nothing more than to be able to go to camp and sleepovers like all his friends do. We have not really been faithful about using the sensor pad as he has the ability to sleep through a fog horn and honestly so do I. With that said, the program has been highly effective without using the pad. I highly recommend this program! I couldn’t be happier! He is soooo excited to be able to have friends sleep over (something new). I am confident that by this winter he will be able to go to sleepovers! It may be expensive but the peace of mind and the vast decrease in laundry makes it worth every penny!
