FOR the past 18 months Fareez Mahin has spent up to seven hours a day hooked up to a dialysis machine, waiting for a kidney transplant.
The seven-year-old boy, who should be at school and playing with his mates, has end-stage kidney failure and has dialysis five days a week at The Children's Hospital Westmead.
His heartbroken mother, Farhana, just wants a normal life for her son.
Fareez's condition means he can only drink 500ml of water a day, leaving him constantly thirsty. "He says to me that he needs a million billion drinks," Mrs Mahin told The Sunday Telegraph.
"He's very brave, very clever and intelligent. But he is so sick of the machines. He gets very cranky sometimes and it makes me sad but it's not his fault. His body has too many cuts.
