Adult Diapers

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”


Today I am going to talk about an adult diaper. It is so hard to see your mother in a diaper. My mother was always such a strong woman. It hurts so bad to see her this way. I know it hurts her even more. I know I have changed her diaper more than she ever changed mine. Sometimes we feel this is not fair, this is not right, this is not the way it is suppose to be. When I do this I have to take time to break away go into another room and pray. I have to be strong for her. There are times when it is not easy. That’s when I say I of myself can do nothing but with God’s help I can do it.
My mother is able to use her right hand and she can use it too. I have to put her arm inside a pillowslip to keep her from using her hand where she should not. A nurse told me to do this and it works, it does not hurt her and it helps to keep her hand out of the way while I am changing her and bathing her.
Another thing I do that the nurse taught me is to use duct tape to tape the sides of her diaper at the bottom part of her legs, I also buy the largest diapers I can find to give plenty of room, even though she would normally wear something a lot smaller in size. All of this helps to keep anything from coming out. I thank God for good nurses.
