A Nassau County 911 operator is being lauded for her calm while helping a panicked father deliver twin boys in a Callahan hotel room.
Kim Miner was working her normal shift in the communications center when a man called from a hotel room and said his girlfriend was about to go into labor.
The mother was 7-and-a-half months pregnant and not expecting to give birth. She could be heard screaming for help over the phone, authorities said.
Communications Officer Miner then stayed on the phone and calmly directed the father, walking him step-by-step through what was needed in delivering the first child (Jayden) at 12:11 AM, making sure the baby was breathing while telling the father to wipe the bloody baby ‘s face and body clean with a towel.
From Nassau County Sheriff's Facebook page:
"She could hear the child crying over the phone, which she knew was a good sign, before NCFR arrived and helped deliver the second child (Brayden) at 12:20 AM.
"The mother and both infants (weighing 4 pounds each) were transported to UF Health Hospital in Jacksonville in healthy condition."
The boys were named Jayden and Brayden.
Congrats to the new parents!
