In-home Dialysis

My Dad has been on dialysis for seven plus years, and it’s not necessarily an easy regime for him, or my Mum, to contend with.  Seven months or so ago, he started in-home dialysis and this has been a real blessing for him, making the necessity of the regime not so trying.

The Grand Rapids Press has a story about in-home dialysis which features my Dad, and if you’re interested in reading the story, the link is just below.

In-home dialysis gives patients more control

UPDATE: I spoke with my Father, a short time ago, about the story, and he mentioned two things to me that he was disappointed about regarding the story, though his overall opinion was that it was well written.  One.  The importance of a competent individual to assist when doing in-home dialysis.  My Mum is my Dad’s competent assistant, and the assistance she provides is immeasurable.  Thanks Mum.  Two.  My Dad also wanted to stress how grateful he was for the training he and my Mum received when they made this leap of independence.  There you go, Dad.
