    • About Me

      I am a single mother of a 6yr.old boy who was recently diagnosed with S.B.Occulta, and tethered cord syndrome. He had surgery to "detether" his spinal cord on April 30, 2007. We spent 3 weeks in the hospital.I am overwhelmed, exhausted & scared. Would like to hear from anyone whose child has had similar issues.He is also struggling with bladder& bowel incontinence. I need someone to talk to who understands what I am going through.

      The surgery where they use the gaul bladder works for the pee as well. That surgery is called the mitrophinoff the child would insert a cathater into the opening to empty their bladder. We have not had that much trouble Emma having pee pee accidents because she is cathaderized every three to four hours and she takes medication to help regulate her bladder the medicine is called ditropan. Have they talked to you about what might help your son? We did not cath Emma for the first year and she was always always wet. She had horrible diaper rash. It wasn't until after she started having ongoing urinary tract infections that they started us with a cath routine. It was a little bit of an adjustment but now she does it by herself and it is just the way things work for her.
