Stories of the Heart
It was a cold, February morning, and Renick Blosser was 44 years old. It was a typical Saturday, until Renick felt a tightness in his chest. At first, he thought it was anxiety, but then, he started to feel cold but was sweating profusely. His arms went numb, and he started panting. Renick was having a heart attack. His 12-year-old daughter was the only one home. She saw her father was in trouble, and quickly called 911.
