Q: Augmented Bladder

My daughter was born with VATER syndrome and Because of the enormous size of her RT kidney it pushed all her organs over to the left side and her bladder stopped working properly. The Dr says she has what is called an augmented bladder meaning the nerves are damaged and her bladder can not tell when it is full. I was wondering is there a procedure to repair the nerves in the bladder so she wont have to have a superpubic catheter or a vesicostomy.. I'm just trying to find solutions if there are any.

um she is 8 months old so she is in diapers. And she has a rare syndrome called vater. You dont understand her bladder has a hard time emptying.. And she only has one kidney functioning at 50% and Im trying to actually find a real solution. so she wont need a kidney transplant so if there is anyone with real advice that would be great
