Special delivery: 911 telecommunicator helps father deliver baby

On November 1st in Davie County, a 911 telecommunicator named Ryan Hepler helped a father deliver his baby son at home.
On Halloween night, after doctors determined she was not yet ready to deliver, Tiffany Seaford was discharged from the hospital.
When Tiffany started contractions two and a half hours later and could not reach the hospital, her husband called 911, and Hepler guided him through the delivery while keeping everyone calm.
Levi was born seven minutes after the call began, and Hepler recalled it is "extremely rare for an emergency like this" and felt relief hearing the baby cry.
The Seaford family expressed their appreciation for Hepler and the emergency responders, with Chris Seaford describing the event as both the most frightening and joyful moment he has ever experienced.
