Hey Joan and Maggie, I am happy to hear from you both again and get an update on both Tom and Scotty. Personally, I'm doing better now. I'm down to about 2 wettings at night per week and it really seems to be getting better. At age 17 and my last year in High School, I will be so happy to be out of diapers soon,I hope! I still use the cloth diapers but have found some really great overnight pullups in cloth (if you are interested in them, let me know they are made in the USA). Joan, I forgot to tell you that you need to have extra Velcro tabs (soft part) to place over the catch part (pronged part) as a cover when washing the diapers. That keeps the Velcro from getting caught on other clothes and diapers in the wash and losing their ability to stick. Even though Tom has Asperger's, at 14 years old, he needs privacy and the feeling that he is managing his problem on his own. This will become even more important in another year or two. Maggie, Scotty is at that age too. Your Friend, Steven
