“Oscar”
Oscar:
I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure back in the fall of 2000 and I still
didn’t realize how serious this was.
Steve Lawson:
Oscar Saenz of Kennewick is fighting for his life
Oscar:
Last January I started feeling sick again
Steve Lawson:
In the hospital Oscar underwent a battery of tests
Oscar:
And right off the bat the technicians . . . I see them gather around this screen
and saying things like, “we’ve never seen this beforeâ€.
Steve Lawson:
The medication which had kept him alive, was no longer working
Oscar:
At that time they talked to me about a heart transplant
Steve Lawson:
A mechanical heart keeps Oscar alive, as he awaits a transplant that will save
his life.
Oscar:
I’m a son, a brother, a father . . . I’ve got grandchildren . . . and I want to watch
them grow.
Steve Lawson:
Today . . . 18 people will die while waiting for an organ transplant. Because
there just aren’t enough registered donors. Please, register as an organ eye
and tissue donor when you renew your drivers’ license. Do it for Oscar, and
your other 1600 hundred Northwest neighbors who are waiting for the gift of
life.
Oscar:
The gift of life . . . . You can’t put a price on it
