5/9/11 My responsibility is to look for patients that have benefitted and suffered from dialysis. Today in class I looked for that and I also helped Katie choose a video for our keynote. We decided on one that is good length and has a lot of good information. We chose the look for our keynote also and began that.

5/10/11 Today I researched more about the pros and cons of dialysis. I found the pros and cons of being on dialysis vs. not going on dialysis. Then I'm going to research the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. I will also talk about what is good and bad about both of them. The website I used today was http://ghsrenal.com/ghsfiles/he5.htm

5/11/11 Today I researched about hemodialysis. We put that information on our keynote. The website I used was http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hemodialysis/MY00281/DSECTION=risks. Katie helped research about peritoneal dialysis so we looked at the differences between them. Now I'm going to research the good things and bad things about being on hemodialysis vs. peritoneal.

5/12/11 Field Trip!

5/13/11 Today I researched the pros and cons of hemodialysis vs. peritoneal dialysis. I used the website http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/540784_3 to find my information. Katie and I put this information on a keynote. We also researched the common causes of kidney failure today so everyone knows how to prevent this from happening to them. The website we used for that was http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hemodialysis/MY00281/DSECTION=why%2Dits%2Ddone. I think our project is going to be really good!
