A North Texas firefighter EMT is back on the front lines after a 500-day battle with COVID-19.
“They were unsure I would get my respiratory capacity back,” he said.
Solecki said he is still working through some neurological issues in his arm, has lost some strength and has some headaches, but that he has been cleared to return to duty full-time. As of Wednesday, Solecki has completed three shifts and training. He expressed gratitude to the medical team that cared for him, his family and the fire departments and firefighters across the state that stepped up to help him through.“I was the kid that every Halloween I was the fireman,” he said. “It was something I was raised in, born into and I couldn’t imagine not being around here anymore.”
