“They let him have a phone call and it just so happened that he called while I was like pushing during the delivery and it was like a little bit and me pushing and he was able to stay on the phone the whole time until she got here,” Emily Orozco, said. “And so he was able to hear over the phone her first crying and like everything. It was really awesome.”

“He went quiet and I was like, ‘are you still there? Are you crying?'” Orozco added. “And he was like, Yeah, I’ve been crying for a long time now.”
