This may seem obvious. But, my Mother has bulbar ALS. Until recently she has been able to get up in the night to go to the bathroom. She is getting up 6-7 times a night despite very limited liquid intake through her feeding tube. Recently, she gets up and falls. We have tried putting a bell for her to ring at which point we get up and walk her to the bathroom. Not reasonable for us to get up every hour. She just will not use pull ups and is resistant to a catheter. She still tries to sneak out of bed. And, of course, she falls and the medical alert goes off. Help! Does anyone have any ideas?
