Bermuda’s own “miracle” twins, born eight days apart, have finally been allowed to go home.

After a month spent at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, mother Edonna Bean said her twins, Esai and Emyr, have been given a clean bill of health and are growing healthily.

After being born almost four months premature on November 25, Emyr has grown from 1.7 pounds to 6.2 pounds. His eight-day younger twin brother, Esai — delivered by emergency c-section on December 5 — now weighs just under nine pounds.

“They are doing great,” said Mrs Bean. “It’s been a journey. I am humbled to even be chosen to be their parents, and I don’t take that lightly.”

With no further medical assistance required for either twin, Mrs Bean said their remarkable good health was a further indications that miracles can still happen.

“With Emyr, he had such immature lungs that they believed he would be on a ventilator longer. He’s not on anything, as you see. This is the first time that they have even inhaled fresh air, so it’s a pleasure. And they seem to be doing well. They’re nicely settled.”

The twin’s father Ryan Bean could barely stop smiling. He said: “[As a father, my job will be] to protect, and teach, and just give thanks, and teach them where their foundation lies and who brought them this far, whose brought us this far, and that’s nobody but Jesus Christ. I’m gonna be big daddy to everybody.”

Mrs Bean said the name Esai means ‘God is our salvation’, while Emyr means ‘Prince and honour.’

“I always knew during my pregnancy, and I shared with a friend that I knew, that they would touch the world,” said Mrs Bean. “I didn’t know how, I thought that it may have been in their career or something like that. However, they have already touched the world. And I just want to give hope, you know? To renew people’s faith and realise that miracles are still happening in 2014.”

Alongside the happy family, grandmother Donna Williams said she was looking forward to life as a grandmother.

“I think I can just put it in a capsule and say I’m grateful,” said Mrs Williams. “That’s it. I am grateful to God for what he has done, for the children, as well as their parents. They’re happy and so I’m happy.”
