BedWetting

Alice and Paul were worried about their holiday trip to visit Alice’s mom. Their 6-year-old son, Jack, was still wetting the bed. Every time someone mentioned the trip, Jack said he didn’t want to go. Jack was still embarrassed after last year, when he wet the bed at grandma’s house and everyone found out. Alice and Paul were worried about what they would do if Jack wet the bed again during the trip, what they would say to Alice’s mother, how they could help Jack enjoy the trip, and whether they should even go.

They spoke to Jack’s doctor about managing bedwetting. Jack’s doctor suggested trying desmopressin tablets. Before the trip, Jack tried a couple of different doses to find the dose that worked for him. Now that he had a treatment, Jack decided he’d like to go on the trip after all. Jack took his medication during the trip and stayed dry, and the whole family enjoyed their visit.
