Dialysis Treatment of Kim Mercado-A Child's Never Ending Battle for Life.avi

Kim's brave heart...Enduring physical and emotional pains...Getting used to thick needles and blood tests... Video of my son Alvin Kim, 15 y/o afflicted with End Stage Renal Disease with Cardiomyopathy complications, in one of his dialysis sessions. Kim undergoes dialysis 3x a week, 4 hours per session as maintenance. Has has been afflicted with Nephrotic Syndrome at the age of 5 and underwent continued medication since then on. Started his dialysis treatment at the age of 13 when both his Kidneys no longer function. Now at the age of 15, with a fragile body, still a playful kid... on dialysis for more than two years now. A never ending battle for life! Thank you for always including Kim in your daily prayers...God Bless!
