Over the past few days, Faithwire has been covering the story of the Ocheltree family, whose two young children were rescued from their flooded vehicle during a deadly storm that hit Texas over the weekend. From miraculous rescue, to reunion (with one of the kind strangers who saved 2-year-old Addyson and 4-month-old Marshal), to recovery, the Ocheltrees have used every opportunity to express gratitude for the overwhelming support they’ve received.
On Wednesday morning, Emily Ocheltree took to Facebook to share some encouraging updates on her 2-year-old daughter, Addyson (“Addybug”), who is still recovering at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, where she is in stable condition.
In a Facebook live video featuring Addy and her father, Phillip Ocheltree, the toddler can be seen strolling around a hospital corridor.
“I think we get to go home today!” Emily Ocheltree tells her daughter.
