[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can she not get to the bathroom on her own at night (I'm assuming no, but checking)? Is there something you could do to make her more independent? Also, can she limit liquids in the evening? I also think that if it's really every 1.5 hours, it's a topic to raise with her PCP.[/quote] It could be an issue to raise, and you should. But at this stage it is probably lack of bladder control, perhaps due to muscle control, but more than likely nerves sending the wrong messages to the bladder muscles, making them release with the slightest bit of urine in the bladder. The commode next to the bed is a possibility, or put some sort of temporary railing from the bed to the bathroom toilet.[/quote]
