Connor and Jackson Fehr were born prematurely at about six months and weighed under two pounds each.

"It was terrifying when I knew they were going to come early. When they were born they went straight to the NICU and I wasn’t even able to see them for the first 48 hours or so," said mother of Connor and Jackson, Alison Fehr.

Connor went home after a few months but Jackson had more serious complications like chronic lung disease. 

"With Jackson, things just got worse and worse and worse," Alison said.

Most recently, Jackson was in residence at Blythdale Children's Hospital in Westchester and every day has been getting better.

"He’s actually a lot of fun to play with. One of the ways I know he’s doing well is every morning when I come to examine him we have like a little in the bed wrestling match and I can tell the way he’s breathing he has enough reserve to be able to do that easily," said Dr. Dennis Davidson, Jackson's doctor.

He has been undergoing intense occupational and physical therapy.

"It’s emotional because I never thought [I would be able to get him home]," Alison said.

Jackson was finally able to go home on Thursday and Alison said she can't wait for her boys to be together. 

"Since Connor came home a year ago, Jackson and Connor have only been together maybe five or six times since then," Alison said.

His parents say they want to raise awareness about the toll having a premature baby can take on a family.

"Counseling, communication therapy, mental health [awareness], getting help afterward [all work together]. Most parents exposed to a NICU setting have some kind of PTSD from it," said the father of Connor and Jackson, Cory Fehr.

Even though Jackson has a long road of recovery ahead, he's at his home in Sullivan County with the people who love him most.
