On January 11, 2017 we had the scare of our lives. So glad I followed my instincts and called 9-1-1. It was the warning signals, of a heart attack, that my Husband (Paul) was having. When the paramedics arrived, all Paul's vital sign were good. His coloring, not so much. They were bringing him in for observation.
Little did I know he had a heart attack, in the ambulance, on the way to the hospital. Paul had a STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) 100% blockage RCA (right coronary artery) with a Stent Placement.
He's had two incidents since (May 2017, Sept 2017). Paul has a total of 5 stents. Knock on wood Paul hasn't had any other issues to date. He's lost weight & stopped smoking. I'm so proud of him!!
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.​
I’m Heart Walking to improve the overall health and well-being of my Husband, Americans and future generations.
