hi,

thanks for your question.

I'm sorry to tell you that there is no way to chnage the neurological damage that occurred as a result of your child's myelomenigocoele. there are ways of managing urinary and bowel incontinence other than a diaper as he he gets older which include intermittant self catheterization and regular suppositories.

best wishes
