Dear Laura having read your reply, andin the light of what you have said!. Trauma is a common thing to fetch on bedwetting and also shock of his father dying can be a trigger for him to resume bedwetting .If his bedwetting is caused through shock then there are two options which a GP will tell you will happen 1.he will slowly become dry after a couple of years or 2. he wont be dry at night and will remain a bedwetter all of his life!unless he gets another shock and it stops. that is what it looks to me has happened how ever i know it is hard for you as a mother Laura to see your son like this as it may make his confidence and self esteem be dipleated so that is a point you will have top look out for. if he has been wetting now for several years and as you have said you are useing Terry nappies well as you are in britain you can obtain disposables for his size of the NHS I suggest you go to your GP and tell him (if he does not already know that he is in nappies and plastic pants)and ask him to get in touch with the district nurse whom will then probably visit and then supply them free of charge to you also they do supply plastic pants as well! but, you have to really push for them. well you do in my health area! in wales.as in a case i know of the District nurse came along and said well does he really need plastic pants?and the person concerned turned around and said well yes unless you want to have a wet bed!. if you want to stick with terry nappies then they can be bought in adult sizes off companies off the net I think one company is Arizona healthcare !is one! does your son put on his own terry nappy? and pants and is able to see to his own needs?or do you still do it for him? I do hope the information i have supplied is of help!. best wishes, Tom
