Frontline Hero Project- Covid19 Pandemic 2020- The Mohatt Family

Jenn Tuttle — Sun, 12 Apr 2020 03:50:26 +0000

Through all this I’ve felt so helpless! As my many friends gear up every single day to battle the frontlines of this pandemic, I sit at home trying to find things to occupy my time. With no booked sessions Ive searched for ways to satisfy my need for being creative. I knew I needed to do something… something that lights my soul on fire. But what?

After weeks of not shooting I woke up on April 2nd 2020 and it HIT ME! My feelings of wanting to help and show appreciation combined with needing an artistic outlet made for the perfect recipe to start the The Frontline Hero Project.

Heroes don’t wear capes… they wear scrubs, uniforms, badges, tools on their belts, and yes even Costco name tags!

I am thankful for all of you out there risking everything. You all are true heroes and I appreciate you!

Thank you now… thank you forever. You guys make the difference!

The Mohatt Family

Nurse/ CHP Officer

Hi we are the Mohatt family. My husband Ryan is a CHP officer. He has been on the job for 8 years. He loves his job and our family is so proud of him for all of his service and dedication to our community. My name is Heather, I am part of the laboratory team at St. Mary’s hospital. I have always been excited to go to work and help people feel better. These days my excitement has turned to fear. I really understand what anxiety feels like along with panic attacks. Waking up in a full sweat at night thinking about going to work is real for me. Having to go into a room with an infected patient or bring their specimens to the lab is scary. My biggest fear is bringing home this terrible virus to my family especially my daughter Brooklynn that has severe asthma and an autoimmune disease. With both my husband and I still working with the community I know we are at a higher risk to bring something home to our family or ourselves if we don’t do our best to protect ourselves at work. It’s scary to think that if we were to get sick, who would be there to take care of our kids. We are very grateful to have essential jobs, but times are scary. We can’t believe that wearing masks are an everyday thing when just going to the grocery store. Our main goal in life right now is to protect our kids Brooklynn, Irelynn and Boston. I am so grateful for this photo shoot, you never know if it could be your last photo as a family. In the meantime we put our uniforms on and pray for our community and all of our co-workers that we come out on the other end alive and stronger than ever.

The Owen Family

Critical Care Nurse/ Construction Worker/ High School Senior

Who would’ve thought that I would be here telling you all to stay at home in order to stay safe. Meanwhile, I head to the only place that I can guarantee is definitely not safe. We are all trying to just keep our heads above water at this point.

My husband builds schools and he still goes to work M-F leaving at 3:30am and gets home just in time to make dinner for the family when I am at work. The show must go on for him and his job. Meanwhile with me working at a hospital we knew we would be some of the Essential workers that continued to work through this Global Pandemic.

I have been a Critical Care nurse for 14 years and charge nurse the last few years of this. I knew I had to prepare for the worse. I would be called upon to use the skills I have practiced and use everyday in my career but now do it all while trying to protect myself from this highly contagious Covid-19, a little stressful; but I won’t give up fighting the fight for my patients and my coworkers.

We also have a senior “Joey” who is also preparing for his worse; of hearing the phrases “school is cancelled” and “you have played your last baseball game”. My poor son who has waited his entire life to be a Senior and to play varsity baseball while the scouts watch from the sidelines. To attend Prom and experience Grad Night and finally the Rite of Passage…. Graduation. All to be gone or postponed until a “later” date when it is safe to actually be within 6 feet of others. So now instead of him planning what he’s going to wearing to Prom he is planning his daily agenda of what’s he going to be homeschooling my littles ones.

The littles ones; Austin and Jaxson luckily are not as effected by this quarantine but they are pretty disappointed that they are not able to play little league this year. Last year my Austin got his arm broken before the start of the season and only

got to play in 3 games. He was so excited this year to finally play but that has also come to a halt. My biggest fear Is contracting Covid and bringing it home to my family. My parents were my babysitters while my husband and I work but now they are on self quarantine inside their house until this is all over, so my Senior is now my Kids teachers and biggest supporters meanwhile we are all staying strong for each at this time.

This too shall pass but until then we will keep fighting the fight. We are thankful for all our blessings; our families and friends and to everyone that has supported us through this time as we continue to help others.

The Douwes Family

BSN Student and Full-Time OB-LVN

My name is Stacey Douwes, and I am a single mother to Kai, River Grace, and Lincoln. I am a full-time BSN student and a full-time OB-LVN in the Nursery/Postpartum. I am 6 months away from my BSN graduation, and in the meantime have the amazing opportunity to serve my community by providing care to new moms and newborns at our local hospital. Managing work, my education and my home as a single mom has always been a heavy task, but the recent Covid19 pandemic has added new pressures that no doubt have required some adjustment.

Prior to Covid19, Postpartum/Nursery was usually a happy place. Families regularly gather around new moms in recovery and babies are welcomed into many arms of love. With the hospital on lockdown, visitors are no longer allowed. Moms have delivered alone, and many have had to recover alone. If their partner is cleared to be present for birth, they cannot leave the unit for any reason or they are unfortunately not allowed back no matter what the circumstances are. This policy has been placed to protect the health of other moms, newborns, and staff. I cannot tell you how many moms I have provided care to that were literally grieving the fact that their family could not be with them for those first fresh days of recovery. As their nurse, I personally make a vow to them that while I am there- I will sit in as their husband, their mom, their friend. Whoever they need, I assure them I will be that. Outside of their medical care, I make it clear that I will watch the baby if they need a few hours of rest, I will sit and listen if they want to replay their birth story, and of course, will do whatever I can to keep them comfortable as their family would. 4 pillows and fresh ice every hour? No problem. This has made my “job” harder but I am thankful to be the person to make this experience easier for them.

While working in a hospital where Covid19 exists, I am always aware that at any time while brushing shoulders with other staff I can come in contact with this virus. My biggest fear is that I will bring this virus home to my children- who are always waiting with plenty of cuddles for mommy to get home. There is no 6 feet rule in nursing, and because of this, I know that I am always at risk. The realness of this virus is in your face every day when you work in a place where you can hear the codes, and see its effect on other units just a few feet away.

I always encourage people who are stir crazy to remember that it is a blessing (no matter how difficult it can be) to stay home. You are not stuck at home, you are safe there.

I have been blown away by all my fellow healthcare professionals and frontline workers during this time. Their bravery, and endless grit in acting out their duty to serve, regardless of the risks, is inspiring to me in so many ways and has made me even more proud of my calling as a nurse. And furthermore, even prouder as a mother to show my kids just how strong nurses are and can be

The Davidson/ Sanchez Family

Charge Nurse at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital and Surgical Technologist

My name is Kim and I am a Charge Nurse at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in The Total Care Birth Center. I help care for a high risk population of pregnant women and since we function like an Emergency Department, they come up to our unit and we screen both the patient and their visitors for symptoms of COVID-19. I worry about many things during this uncertain time. I’m concerned about my nurses safety, my own safety, about keeping up with the ever changing guidelines on what we need to do to protect ourselves and our patients. I worry about contracting the virus and about bringing it home to my family, especially since now I will be performing COVID swab testing on many patients. I’m afraid for the vulnerable people in my life and for my best friends, who are all nurses too. Truth be told, I’ve never been more proud or more afraid to be a nurse.
I’m hopeful that through all the quarantine restrictions we will learn to really appreciate the things we took for granted before. The small things that really aren’t so small after all, like going out to eat at a restaurant or simply hugging your best friend.
I have worked at Loma Linda for over 10 years and it is both my privilege and honor to provide the best care possible to our patients. Please stay home, please cherish the ability to be home where you are safe with your family. We will go to work for your sake, please stay home for ours.

My name is Sonia and I have been a surgical technologist for 5 years. In case you don’t know what we do, we are pretty much a surgeons right hand. My hours are spent on my feet in an operating room where I am constantly in contact with all bodily fluids and airway molecules. Having an operation is very stressful for some, and I like to ease that for my patients, whether it be playing their favorite song, talking to them about their families, or just holding their hand. We are now being asked to step out during intubation and extubation. Although this is safer for us, I struggle with the fact that I am not there for my patient as they go off to sleep. A fear of mine, is that when we have an emergency procedure, we don’t know if this patient we are taking care of is possibly covid positive, but we put that aside to save this patient’s life. I fear that I can bring this home, give it to my family, friends or coworkers, which is something that I can try to prevent with this social distancing and hand washing, and I urge you all to take this seriously and practice it as well. I hope that we all come out of this a stronger nation, and that we learn to pay attention to the smaller things in life. That we take a second to breathe and be thankful that we are able to call our loved ones, hug them, tell them you love them and make sure to enjoy your life to the fullest.

The Baker Family

Telemetry RN and LASD Deputy

My husband Robert has been a deputy for LASD for 8 years, we’ve become very familiar with the idea that his job could potentially take his life, I used to lose so much sleep over the thought of it so I made the choice to give him to God every time he walked out of our front door and I trust that he will protect him until he returns home.

Today, in this pandemic amongst us, that fear has shifted onto my safety in my career and ultimately the safety of my family. I am a RN on the telemetry unit at one of our local hospitals, I’ve been a nurse for 4 years. I love what I do and take pride in the ability to care for people in their time of need. Fear is not something I am use to feeling when I go to work, there is so much unknown and I just pray that I am able to stay safe through all of this. It’s a crazy time we’re all living through and I am hopeful it’ll give us a new perspective on the way we choose to live life. I hear that we medical care workers are on the frontlines, the heroes, but in reality our communities are on the frontlines, you have the choice to do what you can to stop this, we in the hospitals are in the last lines. Ultimately let’s be obedient to the instructions we’re given, stay home, wash your hands and for the love of humanity don’t hoard things.

The Grundy Family

Fire Captain and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Nurse

Jerren is a fire captain with SBCOFD and has worked there for over 16 years. Being a first responder is a high-stress, yet rewarding job. You never know what each 911 call will bring. I’ve been a NICU nurse for over nine years and absolutely love what I do. As a nurse for such a vulnerable population, I am fearful of what this virus is capable of. There is so much unknown. While I’m not necessarily caring for patients with Covid-19 (yet), I am responsible for protecting the most vulnerable patients from Covid-19. We both worry every time one of us goes to work that we could bring this home to our son and other family members whom we rely on for child care while we are both working. We are doing the best we can to keep our family safe and healthy. It’s so important to maintain a positive attitude as this situation evolves!! One of the best things to see from this pandemic is how much everyone has come together both in our workplaces and in the community.

The Morris Family

Hematology/ Oncology Transplant ICU Nurse and Costco Forklift Driver/ Cashier

My name is Janine Morris and I am the mother to two amazing sons, Colin and Carter. I am also a RN and have been so for over 10 years at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. There, I work on the Hematology/ Oncology Stem Cell Transplant ICU where I take care of children with cancer and blood disorders. Although our unit has not had a positive COVID-19 case yet, I must be very careful to protect my patients who are severely immunocompromised. It is extremely important for my family and I to practice social distancing on my days off and I urge you and your family to do the same. These kids won’t have a fighting chance like so many high-risk individuals. These are scary days, but it is my duty and my honor to take care of these precious children.

My husband Tim has worked for Costco Wholesale for almost 18 years as a morning forklift driver/cashier. COVID-19 has made him leave our family in the early hours of the morning, or late night in order to stock the shelves for panicked doomsday shoppers. He can truly say he has seen the worst of people during these times and comes home exhausted and defeated just to repeat the next day. Tim recently graduated with his Master’s in Organizational Leadership and this pandemic has made it difficult to find his dream job. Despite all of this, we trust in GOD and are so grateful to have steady jobs and the health of our family in this difficult time. We pray for families who have been hit hard financially and have had a family member succumb to this disease. Please stay safe everyone and remember to stay inside since we can’t. Lastly, Karen, No, you do not need another 30 pack of toilet paper at Costco.
