BethanyKids’ Neuro Mobile Clinic visited Joytown Primary School last Friday. They evaluated over 40 children from the primary and secondary school, and outpatients from the community. The team asked specific questions about each child’s condition and its side effects. One nurse, Eunice Kagai, said children with incontinence need to be seen annually for bladder evaluation and a renal ultrasound.

Isack and Bidan both suffer from Spina bifida and incontinence. The boys are seven years old and have been at Joytown since January 2011. Isack received a good report from the neuro team and does not have any pressure sores. He is extremely cooperative, able to perform C.I.C., and can check himself for wounds.

Bidan does not know the C.I.C. process and cannot even wash his hands without instruction. BethanyKids therapist, Stanley Malonza says: “Bidan can tell you every step of C.I.C. but he cannot do it himself. His mother did everything for him at home so we must teach him the basics.”
