[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 442800, member: 84"] Travis wet the bed until he was almost 13. It nearly drove me insane until via docs we realized beyond a doubt it was physical and there wasn't much he could do about it. (brain damage related) Even while potty training him he never got the urge to go like other kids. He never knew his bladder was full until his pants got slightly wet and then it was an all out run for the bathroom every time. During the night he slept so deeply that even that did not wake him. Knowing it was a physical issue did help. But it still was hard. I cut off drinking liquid past 6pm. I got him up at midnight every night to use the bathroom. This helped a lot, but still most of the tine I had to get him up before his sisters so he could bathe while I stripped down and washed his bed. It got to be sort of a routine. I never said anything to him.......and honestly, I think he appreciated that. At around age 11 I noticed it wasn't happening as often, by 13 he'd finally outgrown the issue. His sisters only found out it had gone on so long fairly recently. Our routine was down so good we had him bathed, sheets changed and in the washer before they even got out of bed, so they never knew. But back then they didn't have much to cope with it.
