    This is a wonderful escape for these teenagers and if the idea has not been spread around the world, it should be.  Anything that can be done to improve the life of a dialysis patient should be done.  My husband is a renal physician, caring for adult renal patients, and years ago his practice instituted an annual Christmas party for the patients and an escort.  It was wonderful for the staff to see their charges as people and not only as patients.  Unfortunately, it became too costly to continue the practice but they still have a celebration in the unit during the holidays.
