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?

I m just joining this after advice from Lemonsole on another thread I started about dd , who is just 7 and still in soaking pull ups. From that thread and reading this wonderful one i ve decided to chill, and find a way of getting her to drink more in the day as step 1. I was also preventing sleepovers as concerned she would get teased so tonight have said she can have them, she said her best friend knows anyway so I said well that's fine and anyone else she can just wear pants over pull ups as extra disguise if she prefers to keep it private. She asked me who would put them on her and take them off which triggered a thought in me that she needs to take control now, maybe that will help a little in her deciding she wants to try and wee in the night, at the moment even if she wakes and comes into me with some excuse like a teddy falling put of bed she still won't try! Very resistant to it. So I figure make her a bit more independent and she might gain a bit of confidence to try and be dry?

Oh and I meant to name change, of course it doesn't relate to this topic!

Just realised I was actually pointed to this brilliant thread by the OP,so thank you , and I m so glad your ds has cracked it !

Have you approached your GP for a referral to the enuresis clinic?

I know there has been quite a few threads on Bed Wetting but I’m at my wits end…
My DS (7) has been seen by the enuretic clinic so we’ve tried the bowel, drinks chart & now he’s on 240mg of DesmoMelt (highest dose), and still the bed is soaking every night? He hasn’t been offered a scan or X-ray - I think because he doesn’t understand & has meltdowns, also they didn’t want to try the alarm as he has sleep issues. DS has been on DesmoMelt for 4/5 months now with slight reduction but not huge as I was lead to believe. Any HELP would be appreciated on what I do next?

You should really start your own thread rather than bump a zombie one.

To answer your question. There isn't really anything you can do other than what you have tried. Getting yourself overly stressed over something that cannot be controlled is not going to help anyone.

My DS was over 12 when he was dry at night also after trying everything you have.

Just put them back in pull-ups and they will get there eventfully.
