While Anias struggled through the operation, his heart rate plummeting, he too has opened his eyes.
Nicole has posted pictures of the boys lying in their hospital beds. The next step is to lie them next to each other in the same bed.
Nicole wrote movingly on Facebook: ‘When I stand at your bedside, Jadon, it’s almost as if Anias is still there. Anias, when I leaned over you I protected my hair from Jadon. But the view is still the same.’
She continued: ‘Now it’s time to step forward into the new chapter of our life.’
