Day 2

Today was SO MUCH better. Things are clicking now, and we have been much more successful today. We saw improvement last night, which came right in the nick of time. I was beginning to feel incredibly doubtful that we were going to accomplish anything. I said some majorly desperate prayers last night, not for a miracle but for patience and the confidence that was quickly fading. This morning I awoke with a renewed conviction to power through. I had already resolved to try for the remainder of the week and if by Saturday we hadn't seen any significant improvement, then I would hold off until summer.

But you know what? We've only had 2 accidents today. He has put two-and-two together and he understands to hold his urine now, and he has figured out how to release it. My husband, my hero, had the best idea ever this morning, and poured warm water on his tummy to help things along. Since this discovery, I have been consistent, going to the rest room every 40 minutes to an hour. I read his body signals and within 10 minutes after he has any liquids we take a pee-pee break.

It's been working. I won't say that we are over the worst of it, because I just don't see how that could be possible, but I will say we are improving. My spirits are improved, my confidence is improved and he already pooped himself...how much worse can it get right? I can totally do this!
