Every pint counts when there’s a critical blood shortage. Few people understand the importance of donations more than Brenden Scott. His life was saved thanks to the generosity of blood donors.
Brenden’s mom, Jennifer Scott said, “There wouldn’t be a Brenden without that blood donation.”
At 9-years-old Brenden was hit by a car outside of his home in Mason in 2018. His liver was lacerated and had severe damage to his heart and lungs. Brenden’s heart stopped for more than 20 minutes. His doctor manually pumped his heart to keep him alive. His chances of survival were low.
Brenden had less than a 1 percent chance of survival. He lost his blood volume four times while in the operating room.
