Speaker 2: her eight year old daughter Trinity, and they join us now.

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: Welcome lady show, Hi guys. We wanted to get you.

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: On, Karen, because you are a trooper and absolute truper.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: You've been doing it pretty tough lately. You've been having

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: a few seizures. You've got chronic kidney issues, and Trinity

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: is your little life saver.

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: Of this little girl sitting next to you, isn't she Karen?

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: She is, She's my little hero, my precious apple.

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 4: Karen, tell us about the condition you've got.

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: I've got two chronic kidney conditions in both kidneys, chronic

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: gloomin neuphritis and chronic polynuphritis. It's where the kidneys don't

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: feel too properly right.

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 4: How does that play out for you?

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: Rough times? I tell you?

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: So, what are you?

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: Are you in a lot of pain, Karen? Or is

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: it just the body shuts down?

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes I can soldier on and then all of a sudden, yeah,

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: it's help.

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: So and You can't get a kidney replacement, can you,

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: because you've got to wait for your kidneys to basically

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: collapse before they can get the green light for that.

28
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 3: That's correct. I'm not even down to fifteen.

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: Percent, right, So when the kidneys hit a certain level,

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 4: you're an excruciating pain.

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: Oh horrific? So do whats than child bursts?

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god?

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: Is it hard seeing mum go through that pain? Sometimes?

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 5: Yes, it is hard to see.

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: Her go through it.

36
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Can you tell me some occasions where you've walked in

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: and you thought or Mum might be in a little

38
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: bit of trouble?

39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Here?

40
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 5: Once was I was at my friend's house and Mam

Speaker 5: she ended up have thing to go to hospital?

43
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, so you've called triple zero yourself. Haven't you

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360

00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: And do you know first day? Trinity? Have you been

Speaker 3: Yes?

48
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: Have you ever done that any of that on mum before?

Speaker 5: Yes? CPR?

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,600

52
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: Are you all right with that? Or do you still

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: freak out a bit when you see Mum like that?

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 5: I don't really freak out as much as I used to,

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 5: but I freak out a tiny bit.

56
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: Let's play on your mind. Also, what Trinity is going

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: through with the situation you're in.

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: It breaks my heart. Um, I wish that she never

59
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 3: went through it. I don't wish it on anybody. No

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: family and friends that have seen what goes on and

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: they feel so helpless that they can't help.

62
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: You must be so proud of her though, what she's.

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: Done over the years.

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: I am pink, like, what little eight year old we

65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,760

Speaker 3: could never have children. And because of my kidneys, and

116
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: she's my little miracle. I only have one ovary and

117
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: to have her, you know, create her with one ovary

118
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,360

00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: But she's all you need.

120
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,760

Speaker 3: such a special bond that could never ever ever be broken.

123
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: For an eight year old, she is so mature for

124
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: an eight year old.

125
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440

129
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,760
