Re: Question, anyone?- potty problems/urinary retention

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Another question for you all. Asher is 3 years and 9 months old and has been

potty trained (for pee) since June. He cannot have bowel movements without a

suppository (b/c of dysmotility) so we don't have to worry about accidents

(trying to think on the bright side with that one).

Asher is starting to have more pee accidents. I know that some accidents at his

age are normal, but, what is happening, I think, is a bit odd (so I wanted to

see what you all think). He tells me he has to go potty, and he goes and sits on

the potty and can't go and then a few minutes later, he's dressed again and

playing and he FLOODS the floor. He had 2 of these type of accidents in one

morning today at preschool, one last week at preschool and a couple over the

weekend. At other times, Asher is able to sit on the potty and go pee, but,

sometimes, even when he is very clear that he has to go, he can't make it come

out.

Any ideas?
