welcome home, Mateo!

The doctors surprised us today by taking out Mateo's chest tube and allowing him to come home! I wasn't quite sure how the girls would react because the few times I was able to leave Mateo's bedside (Thank you, Uncle Jeremy for staying with Mateo!) and visit with the girls, they didn't seem to inquire about Mateo's where-abouts. All my questions about "sibling multiples" were answered when the girls saw that their baby brother had returned home! Their love for their brother made me cry.....

Mateo is home!

Mary see's that her baby brother is home and rushes to give him a hug...

Gabby sees Mateo and rushed over to join him and her sister for some catching up.

Mary was obviously still excited that her brother was home and had to give him a 2nd hug!
