Little Elsie Dutton's family had an agonising wait before they could hold their gorgeous girl, but it was worth the delay.
The Duttons are now thrilled to have premature Elsie home from hospital, where she spent her first five months battling for life.
The family’s hugs have extra significance for Elsie – born at just 23 weeks weighing 1lb 4oz – after her twin died in the womb.
