Deputies, medics save infant
IOLA-Though it doesn't happen nearly enough as TV shows might lead people to believe, there are times when a member of law enforcement plays a crucial role in saving a life. For Grimes County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Fiaschetti, that time was last Thursday night, as he played a major role in helping a seriously ill 15-month-old boy survive.
Fiaschetti, a member of the GCSO for 15 months, was on patrol shortly before 10 p.m. when he received a report of a baby boy having severe respiratory problems and in need of medical assistance. Both Fiaschetti and St. Joseph's Medical Unit 32 arrived at the home of the child, whose name was not immediately available, at 10:12 p.m.
"When we got there, he was running a high fever and was having seizures. He was having trouble breathing," Fiaschetti said. "The medics immediately started bagging him...and we decided we need to get him medical assistance as soon as possible."
