James Hardwick and Caitlin Silveous shared how grateful they were to meet the paramedics who responded to their crash in downtown Toledo in March.
"My little girl was like, 'daddy, did you tell [the paramedics] thank you?' And I was like, 'not yet.' And she had brought up, 'hey, let's go tell them thank you. Let's go find out what station it was,'" Hardwick said.
"I want them to have the closure that we are all right, that we didn't die and we're still here and we are very appreciative of them. I don't know how to thank them as much as they need," Silveous said. "To come in and see them for the first time, it's kind of nostalgic because you get the flashbacks of them being there, them helping you. But you don't really know what going on, so, coming in and seeing them and giving them the information that we're still here and we're still trying to be here kind of feels pretty good to us."
"Their response time was amazing. And for me to be able to stand here and breathe and talk is great. My little girl is happy," he said. "It's amazing, it really is. These guys are great. I couldn't ask for anything better."
"(It was a) really heartwarming feeling. We don't get stuff like this often," he said. "None of us here, especially at station five, expect recognition for what we do."
He says it's not often paramedics get to find out what happens to people after they're dropped off at the hospital.
"But every so often, there are days like today where we've made a huge impact in their lives and their future wellbeing," Daugherty said. "It's our job, it's what we signed up to do, it's what we love to do. Every so often, when something like this has happened, it does make us feel good and puts a smile on our face."
