She then discussed not taking in fluids after 7 PM with her grandmother and while that assisted a little, she is still having episodes of incontinence while in bed. She is concerned about her grandmother's incontinence worsening and the possibility of her falling due to the incontinence at night while she is trying to get to the bathroom.
