Tour the Dialysis Unit
The dialysis experience can be overwhelming for both parents and children. A quick visual tour of the Dialysis Unit can be helpful. Not only can it get you and your child more acclimated to the hospital environment, it can reassure your child that they are not alone -- it can show your child that dialysis is part of many other children's lives before the first hospital visit. In addition, it can help you and your child be more prepared for a visit to the Unit.
