JOANN DAVIDSON WITH DAUGHTER,
1)canna, is pictured above seated behind the
home artificial kidney unit. JoAnn's dialy-
sis is a painless lro('edure, scheduled at
odd times, often during the late evening
through the night, depending on husband
Denney's shift at the Siml)son mills• Dur-
ing the treatment, JoAnn is confined to
bed, but is free to work, study, read or
sleep. This treatment was originatJed and
developed by B. H. Scribner, M.D. and a
team of University of Washington associ-
ates.

for the Buddy Franklin Kidney
Fund has often been hailed as a
miracle. To raise over $10,000 in
such a short time in as small
a community as ours, is cer-
tainly no minor feat! Our effort
project was given national pub-
licity and it provided the im-
petus for other fund raising
drives in similarly small towns,
all over the United States.
As a result of the drive, for
Buddy Franklin, the Mason Coun-
ty Kidney Foundation was found-
cd; a non-profit, tax exempt of
ganization. Today with over 80
members, it is a member of
UGN, and as such, is subject
to certain restrictions. Its mem-
bers are still endeavoring to
raise funds to support patients
in our area,
Exactly 13 months after the
fund drive for Buddy was in-
itiated, he became "service con-
nected," eligible for Veteran's
Administration insurance, which
now dcfrays all costs of his
treatment transportation costs
and hospitalization. This occurred
none too soon. as the $10,000
went very fast.
Over 40,000 Americans are af-
flicted with incurable kidney dis-
ease that will eventually kill
them in absence of (1) a healthy
transplanted kidney or {2 an
effective and safe artificial kid-
ney. They know how costly the
condition can be.
First off, there is the cost of
surgical installation of a small
Teflon-silastic cannulae, double-
pronged, U-shaped tubes that fit
into an artery and vein in the
arm or leg. In addition to the
actual cost of dialysis or the
filtering of wastes from the blood.
there is the cost of transporta-
tion to the Seattle Artificial Kid-
nay Center three or four times
a week, blood for frequently re-
quired transfusions, hospitaliza-
tion for surgery in case of com-
plications or the relocation of the

Davidson was allowed to come
home with the unit. Deanna is
surprisingly proficient at execut-
ing the intricacies of the treat-
ment.
Connected to the machine three
times a week, eight hours each
time, JoAnn actually has a lot
of confidence in and respect for
he," "kidney.'l She feels that
her's is even more foolproof than
those in the hospital. Her treat-
ment, thus far, has not been
without problems, however• Re-
cently, the cannulae in her leg
had to be relocated after a clot
formed in one of the tubes• She
has had trouble before because
she has varicose veins in her
legs and the veins tend to be
rather weak.
On the whole, JoAnn leads a
fairly normal life• Yet, she is
aware of her dependency on the
machine for existence. She says
it used to amaze her that "the
machine is mightier than the
body." Now she's just getting
used to this.
It is with a great deal of
pride that a Sheltonian realizes
that he or she could have taken
part in the miracle of that first
drive to save Buddy Franklin's
life. Yet, the work of the Mason
County Kidney Foundation mem-
bers will never end as long as
pcople arc afflicted with kidney
ailments. Work is being done to
develop cheaper more efficient
methods of dialysis. Dew Ctemi-
col Corp. is developing a dis-
posable, 6'h by 1'.2 inch minia-
turized version of the di;dysate
(wasle-ai)sorl)ing fluid) delivery
unit. Nonetheless, finances are
still a big l)roblem.
Says Earl G. llice, a(Iminis-
lralor of tho Seatlle Arliii('ial
Kidney Ccnler, "We extend our-
selves as niuch as IX>ssil)le. but
we are having tr()uhle l)aying
