Mendel and her plaswekker

Since Mendel has issues holding her urine at night, the doctor recommended that we use a plaswekker to help her stay dry.

Plaswekker

A plaswekker is a device that will give a loud beeping sound (compare it to a car alarm) when the person wearing a special kind of underwear is wetting that underwear.
High tech all - the underwear has a transmitter that transmits a signal to the plaswekker -> all wireless!

Then - when she is wet and the alarm sounds, she has to get out of bed and turn off the device, go to the restroom, put on a new piece of special underwear, click the transmitter to the new underwear and turn on the device again.

The first few nights, the alarm would go off at around 10PM and again closer to the morning.

But now we get her up when we go to sleep so she can go to the bathroom, and now she sleeps till the morning and gets up when she needs to go to the bathroom. No more alarms go off.

Mendel wants us now to stop getting her up at 10PM so she can try it by herself. I am sure that the promise of a little gift when she is all dry by herself has something to do with it :-)
