My hubby was THRILLED to pick up some OT this weekend. He is feeling SO out of touch with his career as a FF. I was so happy that he wiggled his way back on his own engine, as well - as opposed to compressed air (where he was miserable with his OT last month).
But, what made me even more happy?? One of his calls. My husband must be amazing, I am finding that I hear more about his shifts than a lot of SOs. One of his calls was to a woman with a breathing issue. It was not his life saving measures or his calm nature in a crazy environment that sent me into a love-sick tizzy. It was a question he asked a member of this household. He noticed there was a woman with a baby. My FF double checked to be sure she had a crib in house for the babe, and that she was using it. I was so thrilled. Even though I am working on it, there have not be an official measures taken to incorporate our FD into our infant mortality issues, my FF did. He did not blow off my crusade, he took it to heart. Which is exactly why he has my heart.
For those of you unaware of my crusade, please feel feed to read about it here or here or here.
Maybe all it takes is one guy noticing and doing the same thing the next time he sees a baby on a call. One guy notices him, who has one guy notice him...you get the idea.
I am still taking this on as my crusade. I am still working to keep babies alive in Milwaukee. Maybe it takes baby steps to save the babies.
Why I love my FF, Reason #78943
Please join me as work to make sense of my life as a fire wife. This is his TRUE calling. He was a tremendous elementary school teacher, but this is definitely where he sees himself happy. This is my journey to acceptance and support for my husband's dream job come true. Real, sometimes raw and almost uncensored. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. . . when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. . .for I am the Lord your God"
Yay! Good job, Trina's FF! My boo just likes to volunteer me for tutoring everybody's kids -lol!
