Welcome!

My hope is that there will be some resources here for families with special needs. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I have included resources that point to other resources. The posts here are simply reporting some of the things we have tried to make our daughter's experience more comfortable and productive. Please add any experience you have to help us and others help our children.

Catheter System

This year, Macayla started struggling from time to time to empty her bladder on her own. We have had to use catheters often and had a system recommended to us that has been great. 

Rusch/MMG makes a self-contained catheter system that can be used by anyone. It is portable and has all that you need. It has Beta-dine swabs for sterilization, a small, fold-out chucks pad, gloves, and a bag with a self-contained catheter and lubricant.

There is a cap on the top of the bag that covers the tip of the catheter. There is lubricant inside the cap. Once it is removed, the catheter extends out of the bag and once it is done, it retracts back into the bag and the cap can be put back on. The bag can be torn open and emptied and
 then thrown away. We have found it to be a quick, simple and convenient system.
