DENVER — Eric Weichselbaumer isn’t looking for sympathy. He’s looking to inspire people to consider kidney donation .Eric has lived with a rare bleeding disorder, which intensified as he got older. He had a heart attack in his early thirties, and doctors discovered that Eric was having blood clotting issues.“That was really the start of it. The heart attack came out of nowhere. Otherwise, very healthy,” said Eric.
“I hope that I had a positive impact on the person that received my kidney and their family, and I hope that changed their life. But it also helped my family in the long run, as well, of being able to bump my husband up on the list, get him a kidney and get to where we are now,” said Amanda.Amanda’s deed bumped Eric up on the donor list, allowing him to receive a kidney in only nine months as opposed to an average wait of three to five years.
