Two of Staten Island’s miracle quintuplets (right) spent their first full day at home yesterday waiting for their siblings to join them.
Alessia and Emily, the first- and third-born to Jamie and Kevin Ferrante were released from Staten Island University Hospital late Wednesday afternoon. All five were born two months premature on Dec. 27.
“It’s really nice to have them home,” their mom said yesterday. “The only little problem is that I have to keep going back to the hospital to see [the other three]. I don’t want to not see them just because we have two at home.
“But, yes, we’re good.”
Ella, Emma and Matthew, the three of the Ferrante Five to remain hospitalized, are fighting routine weight and other health issues, doctors said.
But Matthew may join the family’s Grant City nest as early as tomorrow if he is recovering well from hernia surgery scheduled for today.
“They tell me it’s very common for premature boys,” Jamie Ferrante said of her son’s hernia.
