Roscoe Lee Owens “Something JazzZee” Therapeutic Behavioral Coach
I am Thankful to the Red Cross for assisting my parents in the economics of my hospitaliza-
tion. My beautiful parents rushed me to the hospital in 1949 when I was about 5 years old. I
had developed a fever and symptoms of nausea and vomiting definitely got worse.
The severe pain had started spreading all over my abdomen. The doctors performed sur-
gery to remove my appendix that had burst. The ruptured appendix can actually lead to
death in some cases and I was dying. The doctors called my parents and asked that they
return to the hospital due to the emergency of needing a second operation.
The peritonitis had quickly spread, resulting in septicemia, or bacteria in the blood. I was
blessed with a quick second operation that was performed and finally stopped the poisoning
of my body. Through the experiences life teaches throughout my years I have become so
Grateful and Thankful for learning and understanding that living a life through purpose is
Amazing. THANK YOU GOD!
