“Daytime diapers? I thought you said he wore pull-ups?” Joan’s concern was growing now.

“Yeah, the pull-ups only lasted the first week. I ended up ordering some regular diapers to wear during the day. Since he needed a change at least twice a day, sometimes more, I usually just let him run around in whatever shirt he was wearing and his diaper. To be honest, it created far less laundry, which was nice.”

“How many weeks did this go on?”

“It lasted the whole summer.”

“He wore diapers that whole first summer he was with you?”

“With the exception of the first day he was here, he wore them every day and night, every summer. For five years,” confessed Theresa.

“Oh my god,” Joan whispered as the reality set in. “I really feel I should go talk to him. I want to figure this out. There has to be a solution.”
