[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 87057, member: 3420"] Okay, I called his pediatrician and left a message for a referral to a gastroenterologist. He has had these accidents in school, on and off, since 2nd grade. I say on and off, not because it ever really went away, but because it definitely gets better at times and much worse at times, with this time since his father died being one of the worst I can recall. Had a pretty bad interaction with his pediatrician the last time I made an appointment to sit down with her (without him) and talk about the encopresis and bedwetting issues ... she felt that it was psychological at this late age and that I really had to consider the possibility of sexual abuse. It felt like an accusatory statement, and I haven't wanted to bring it up since. He was in counseling at the time, but it is a subject he refuses to talk about. (Encopresis, not abuse.) ~ He's doing okay in school right now. I'm tracking his progress online daily and he knows he can't get away with anything because I'm in email contact with his teachers. We have an IEP meeting next week. He was doing pretty poorly in school the first month, but seems to have straightened things out pretty well since he knows I can bust him if he tells a fib about homework. I need to let them know, since this is a new school, about him being able to use the restroom whenever he needs to rather than requiring a pass or whatever ... the time that takes, or the stigma of getting up in front of the class and waiting for a pass, used to always make ME hold it in school. Hated that. He does pretty good about taking his wet bedding downstairs and even washes it when asked, but soiled underwear just vanishes. I finally wised up to buying him dark colored briefs instead of the whites. [/QUOTE]
