Pat Spurgeon is a talented and professional musician who works hard to be where he is today. As a multi-instrumentalist, Pat is an integral part of the indie pop band Rogue Wave. In addition to giving the band everything he’s got, Pat has had to deal with kidney failure and the parameters that have been set for him by his situation. After the success of his first kidney transplant 13 years ago, the kidney starts to fail just as Rogue Wave takes off. D Tour chronicles Pat’s search for a living organ donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match while touring with his band.

This video shows how I use the Baxter HomeChoice Peritoneal Dialysis Automated Cycler Machine to perform Peritoneal Dialysis. I have to use this machine every night, and stay hooked up to it for about 8 1/2- 9 hours every night. Until I get a Kidney Transplant, this machine helps keep me healthy and alive.

At first glance, Daniela Joya, 13, does not look like she spends three days a week in a hospital. But until she gets a new kidney, she has no other choice.

Daniela is one of 35 children on dialysis for kidney failure at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington. She explains her routine: “Today I received dialysis…Monday, Wednesday, Friday…and they have to stick me with needles.”

Willem Kolff, who died on February 11 aged 97, was one of the great creative geniuses of 20th century medicine, responsible for the invention of the kidney dialysis machine and instrumental in the development of the artificial heart and the artificial eye; more remarkable still, his greatest achievements took place in the Netherlands at the height of the German occupation.

This is another camp trip with the NxStage machine. There was a forest fire just down the road from where we camped. Over 600 acres were lost that week due to careless people. I hiked before the run and after as well. Beautiful night hike!

Dialysis on the road was no big deal for Harvey. He toured the country with his grandkids in an RV. This video tells a bit of the 37-state, 12,500 mile road trip he took this summer, doing dialysis in his RV along the way. He wanted to show his grandkids some of our country’s great sites and tell other dialysis patients about the option of daily home hemodialysis
