[quote=Anonymous]Sorry for not reporting back sooner, I know it bugs me when I offer help/advice and the OP doesn’t come back. Christmas rather got in the way!

The lab work on her bloods came back and didn’t show anything of concern. The doctor managed to eek a bit more out of her than we’d managed to though, and she admitted that it’s happened a couple more times than we were aware of but she’d hidden it as she was embarrassed, quite understandable but I’ve talked to her about how important it is we know what’s going on so we can help, and the doctor reinforced this.

They’re doing a few more tests to see whether it could be a nerve or bladder muscle issue, but seem fairly confident it’s more likely to be just a side effect of the growth spurt she’s had recently and that things will catch up naturally pretty quickly and even out.

No more incidents since the one that prompted me to post asking for advice, and when we stayed with my parents for a couple of nights over Christmas I did manage to convince her to wear a Goodnite just in case. She was still very reluctant as her cousins were also staying, but she went to great lengths to hide it with long pjamas and a nightshirt over the top, and seemed to grasp that the risk of an accident would be far more embarrassing than taking precautions. Unnecessary as it happens, but proud she made the mature decision and hopefully now she knows the world didn’t end she may do the same again in similar situations. I won’t force it, and she knows where they are but hasn’t chosen to at home which is absolutely fine.
