A Little Help 3

July 17

Vanderbilt Children's Hospital

A dear friend provides compfort for Will as he goes through the continuous dialysis process. This process fills his stomach through a tube and then drains it pulling out more toxins each time. This happens about once each hour for twenty four hours and then the cycle begins again. Each time it fills his stomach and drains it out it causes great discomfort. Here he is squirming and moaning from the pain while being held and comforted.

This is by far the hardest thing I've ever attempted to document visually. It is impossible to emotionally remove myself. I just want to capture honestly what my nephew is going through.

As long as he fights it, it means he still has the strength.

Your presence is the support he needs.
