Potty Training Tips

Here is Rylee’s data form that I use.

-I simply mark the date and time that I took her to the bathroom.

-Then I place a check mark whether she went #1 or #2 in the potty.

-In the comments section I write whether her pull up was wet or dry.

When she stays dry for weeks on end I switch her to panties.

For traveling, I still use Pull-ups. There are times she can even wear panties overnight as long as she goes good before bed, doesn’t have too much to drink and has good seizure control. When she starts having accidents it is a possibility that she is losing seizure control.

I hope this helps!

My son, Nathan, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome shortly after his second birthday. He didn’t walk until he was almost three years old. The prognosis that doctors gave him was grim. He wouldn’t be able to walk, talk, or do much of anything. The doctors said that Nathan would have epilepsy, constipation, feeding issues, acid reflux, and sleep issues. Therefore, he would require lifelong care.

Today, Nathan runs, says “Mama and Papa”! Nathan’s seizures, that started when he was 15 months old, have stopped due to dietary therapy. Also, he has no more acid reflux, no more constipation! His sleep disorder is under control without medication. He sleeps ALL NIGHT! We have beaten the odds of Angelman Syndrome. He is not lucky, his progress was not by chance but because I started him on dietary therapy very early. Monitoring his health very closely has been crucial. Very specific, and in-depth testing, allowed us to dial in his health like a fine tuned race car.

This is the hope and inspiration I want to share with the world! His genes are not his destiny.
