[blparent] Update potty training older kids.

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

What a relief if this is true!  Poor kid, he knew what to do, knew what you 
wanted from him, but just physically couldn't do it.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Well we finally got up the courage to take Myles to the doc last week after
yet another major setback. As it turns out Myles may have trouble absorbing
water which of course causes constipation which stretches the digestive
tract which makes it impossible to control bm's this affects the bladder
because of the pressure due to the blockage. Basically he can't be trained
physically until this is correlated.  If this is the issue the doc said
everything will just fly out of him until its fixed. We went for xrays so
waiting. Doc said this is the most common issue with late trainers
especially boys. If the tests show up neg we will be referred to a pede.
We're all hoping this is it. The alternatives are not pleasant.  At least
now we know its something medical not emotional. Essentially in his mind
he's trained his body just can' t comply.
