Yes, her doctor can recommend a foley catheter that goes into her bladder and then directs the urine into a bag. Bowel movements are a more complicated problem. If she can not use a bed pan for the bowel movements you may need to get some plastic sheeting to put under her to keep the sheets from getting soiled.Good luck.
