Hygene Hazards

One problem that we have encountered, which I hadn't anticipated, has been bathroom hygiene. Because Ada's stomach, pelvis, and thighs are so puffy it make it very hard to properly clean after going to the bathroom.

Also, we noticed her "running" in a side to side waddle because her legs would rub together and get sore. She was starting to get very raw in that region.

To combat this I got out an old peri-care bottle from a past pregnancy and taught her to "wash" and dry after going to the bathroom. This eleviated much of the soreness and made it easier to take proper care of herself.
