We had the opportunity to honor our favorite Ada County Paramedic today in a special ceremony at his wife and baby’s final visit with Sage Midwifery. You see, last month Paramedic Nathan was at work, out on a call, when his wife paged him in labor. His crew quickly got their patient to the hospital, then hurriedly drove Nathan back home, in the ambulance, to drop him off for a planned homebirth. And a VBAC at that! He supported his wife beautifully in a swift and powerful birth and I had the honor of guiding him through catching his darling baby girl. He and his wife were an incredible team and our crew was so fortunate to share that moment with them! Unfortunately, Nathan was unable to earn any continuing education hours for this experience, so that very day, I got to work to make sure he had something to show for it. This afternoon we held a special awards ceremony where he was presented with a continuing education certificate (good for real-life experience, not credits) and a very special stork pin, which he will be able to wear, we hope with much pride, as part of his uniform and badge. We will miss this family dearly and have been honored and blessed to be part of their last two births. Thank you for the wonderful memories and a huge congratulations to you and yours! We love you!
