WILMINGTON – A tiny warrior with a big heart got his long-awaited homecoming on Sunday. After almost seven months at Beth Israel Hospital NICU, Abel is home in Wilmington for the first time.
Abel came into the world with a weight of only one pound and eight ounces.
Sunday was an emotional day for Abel’s family. The hospital staff got the chance to say goodbye and sent Abel off with balloons and bubbles.
“Finally being able to experience our son at home with our family, with our children, I feel like we can all thrive now. Mother’s guilt was surreal, it’s been a long time coming and I can finally breathe and enjoy our son so it is fantastic, “said mother Shana Alexander.
Abel’s father and three siblings are just as excited that he is finally home.
