Ugandan Boy Gets Gift of Life

Jonathan Olunga, 11, was brought from Uganda to Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx to fix a hole in his heart -- the size of an infant's fist. Olunga was the 10,000th recipient of the Gift of Life program and his surgery Wednesday was a success. 1010 WINS' News Director Ben Mevorach was in the O.R. and witnessed the amazing life-saving procedure. Warning: Some graphic images. Photos from Ben Mevorach.
