Scott & Steve Reid
Scott Reid (in need of a kidney transplant)
For the past two years Scott has been battling kidney disease. As time progressed his kidney function has continued to decline to critical levels, and he is now in end stage renal failure. It was determined his only hope of a normal life in the future was to join the national kidney transplant list. The average wait time for a healthy kidney is estimated at 3-6 years. In the interim, Scott has been on dialysis 7 days a week for 10 hours per day. Scott struggles to live a normal life but keeps a positive attitude and the hope of living a better life in the years to come. I recently had the opportunity to visit Scott and saw first-hand that this is no way to live.

Hey Steve and Scott, I think we need to get the message out that kidney donation is not hard on the downer and is a safe and very successful surgery. I notice that people think that donating an organ will be very dangerous and they( the downer ) will shorten their own life span. I don't know the statistics, but downers can live normal lives after donating a kidney ect. There is still such fear involved with donation. Nobody in my family even got tested when my twin Phil and myself needed a kidney transplant. I was on dyalisis for 6 years before I got my cadaver kidney.

Scott, I really enjoyed working with you at Eaton. Time goes by pretty fast.It seems like a long time ago. I was taken by surprise when I heard that you were having these issues. Glad to hear that your brother is a match and I pray things go well for you.
