THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING, I DID READ ABOUT THE POSSIBLE INFECTION (USING THE CONDOMS) AND ASKED AT LEAST THREE DOCTORS ABOUT IT. ( TWO DOCTORS SAID NO AND THE OTHER SAID TRY IT) SO, WE WILL TRY IT OUT FOR AWHILE BECAUSE HE IS SO MISERABLE WITH THE CONSTANT WETTING AND THE DANGER OF THE BED SORES. HE WAS ALSO ADVISED TO LEAVE THE DIAPERS----"OFF"---AT NIGHT SO, BUT HE CANNOT SLEEP BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT FLOW OF URINE SO-- WE ARE GOING TO "TRY" USING THE CONDOMS AT NIGHT AND TAKING THEM OFF, IN THE MORNING, SO THAT HE CAN HAVE A GOOD, NIGHTS REST. I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED IF WE HAVE ANY LUCK , AT ALL, WITH THIS METHOD--OR NOT. In a message dated 6/22/2013 7:29:23 A.M.

However, Jamie had no trouble with diapering. Jamie was continent during the day but couldn't get out of bed at night. Diapering allowed him to sleep through the night - and me too. ---------- Mary Ann >> BUT IF THE DOCTORS ARE SAYING "NO" TO EITHER THE >> EXTERNAL CATATHER OR THE DIAPERS- > > did they say why not to use external catheters?
