2nd dry night for ds 7.4. Is this it?!

[Whereisegg]

Ds has had very few dry nights in his life, and even fewer of these have been in a row.

At 5 he had his HUGE (surgeon said biggest he'd seen) tonsils and adenoids removed due to sleep apnea.
Dr had mentioned that his brain was so concerned about keeping him breathing, it didn't care if he wee'd but that this would likely resolve itself after surgery.
It did, for 3 nights.

Fast forward a couple of years solid of brick-heavy pants every morning (and occasional wet beds too despite pants), we are on our second morning in a row of bone dry pants.

I don't want to be too outwardly excited at home in front of ds as he can't control it, so I want to be excited here please!

Could this be it, or just a lucky streak?

xpost with you saying he's still drinking.

It is cruel, you're right.

Shows again, doesn't it, that MN is so much more than names on a screen. It was the first place I wanted to come at midnight last night, as we emptied his urine-sodden bed.

Bought a new stock of bed pads. (Boots own brand cheaper than Drynites) and another Primarni spare bottom sheet. Treated him and DD to a loom band loom, and they're happily rewinding YouTube videos on the fishtail. You can tell he's gutted; v flat, and he knew it was a week since camp. Still: all we can do is hope that the switch will flick once again. Thanks for being there, y'all.

I'm thinking of you lemon, try not to get too anxious this evening

Alarm's already been off.
First sheet change. Soaked bed.

Oh Lemonsole. Your poor boy.

DS was absolutely soaking last night by 1am. He was totally oblivious and it was only because I went into his room to shut the window (due to the Jeremy Kyle-esque show our near neighbours were giving) that I noticed the slight odour.

Oh so for you both.
I have no idea about ds as I am lounging in bed, about to get up though as I'm desperate for a cuppa.

Do let us know. I'm not too bothered because for DS the dry nights have outnumbered the wet nights over the last month. Considering there were hardly ever any dry nights before that I think that's a big plus.

Dry night 19 for ds, I feel as though I should be able to offer you advice, but I really don't know how we've got to this point.

I had considered and expected a wet night or two, but the thought that the whole process could suddenly just start all over again had never occurred to me.
It bloody sucks.

Yay for #19.
The nurse warned us that it does sometimes go backwards so I was expecting it. It's a slow process but they will get there.

19! That's great. He's on a great roll now, isn't he.

Alarm went again at stupid o'clock (didn't look at the time, but it was still dark ). DH and I went to wake him up and change everything.

We're pooped again today: at least with night feeds you're not getting out of bed! DS happily loom-banding once more.

Thank goodness for dry weather and Primark bottom sheets that have so much polyester in them that they dry in seconds. Classy, eh?

We had expected a relapse of sorts - but not this back-to-square-one over a prolonged period. It's been nine nights now with no sign that he was ever dry and trotting to the loo by himself. The human body and brain can be real gits at times...

It is just so odd.
Your poor ds.

Thinking of you lemon

Thanks, Egg

He's taken a while to settle tonight. A bit anxious - he realised how much bedding we had burned through last night. Just got to hope that switch flicks back soon.

Just to clarify, I am thinking of you in a non-creepy way

You too MyChildren

Dry night number 20 here

Fingers crossed for you both...

Lol. Loving the clarification. :D

No idea yet if he's dry or wet because he is still asleep. Last night he was shattered after an 8 mile bike ride. I'd love to know where he gets his energy from!

Lemons scary laugh worried me

I think they were kisses.

oh

Dry here. DS has just come down. Dry, but grumpy. It could be a looooong day.

Just get in on the kiss-fest, the day will fly by!

I need to work a lot harder on my luvvie air kiss!

V mixed report this morning - if that is possible. He faffed around for ages last night, and didn't want to go to sleep. DH was up shooing him back to bed until 9. He was clearly hoping to stay awake long enough until the "next" wee. He was dry this morning - but not really through a viable route, iyswim, as he is the grumpiest 7 year old in the world. This said, it's made him a bit more chirpy, and of course, we have shared his happiness. Still, 9 pm to 6:45 is still great!

I am a total wreck, as I was listening out for the alarm, and longing to hear the creak of his ladder as he went to the loo. Miss that sound!

Did you find that you could still hear the wet stop for hours after it was switched off? I jumped for at least four false alarms last night - including a neighbour whistling for her cat!

Great that he was dry - but the switch hasn't flicked, is probably the best way to put it.

Yay for the dryness, not so much for the grumpyness.
