[QUOTE="Andy, post: 162196, member: 5096"] Oh, I do hope he can make the field trip. I know it is exciting for him and a bit uncertain for you. If you remember, I went though the same decision to send my difficult child on what ended up being a 12 hour school field trip without my husband or myself. As for the bed wetting, my 11 yr old difficult child has started that issue this past year. He is such a deep heavy sleeper. It was suggested by the psychiatrist that I get him up in the midde of the night. However, I have an extremely difficult time getting myself up and then it is near impossible to wake him up. So, difficult child has started wearing Good Nights overnight. He hates the feel of them so wears regular underpants under them. When we first started, there were a few times during the day that he would wear them if we were unsure as to were bathrooms were (he had also started having accidents during the day so teachers knew if he asked to go then he needed to NOW. He was allowed to just go if he couldn't get the teacher's attention or didn't have time to get her attention). I always talked to him about these days and asked if he thought it would be easier to do this than deal with an accident in an unknown area. The decision was always his to make. On a overnight class trip, we asked that he have privacy when changing for bed and in the morning so the other kids didn't know he was wearing a Good Night. When he refers to them as "diapers", I always reply, "They are not diapers. They are protection for wetting." I hope you can find the right medication(s) soon. I should add that my difficult child has always been a very deep sleeper, even before clonazepam but now that he is going off of it (hopefully will be off in about 5 - 6 weeks, we will see if night time issues will improve?
