That's the problem, I need to insure my health to continue to care for her. I have portable tolit that I follow her around with. She is still having accidents. Carpet in bedroom. Cleaned it with bathroom cleaner. Washing sheets soiled in hot water and bleach. Is there anything else I should be doing???

Like I have stated we cannot give any medical/health advice per TOS. If you have any concerns talk to the nurses at your mother's doctor's office. Or if she has health insurance call the nurse line through there.
