“Still a long way to go but it’s great to have him home!”
Shortly afterwards he posted a photo of Callum with his eyes closed and hands clasped. Sir Chris said: “He may only be tiny but in this pose I can’t help but feel he looks like he’s hatching a plot for world domination!”
New mum Sarra tweeted her thanks to hospital staff, saying: “Our little miracle, always one step ahead of us! Huge thanks to nursing staff who cared for Callum in ICU, HDU and, finally, special care.”
Those sending their congratulations included double Olympic and world champion Laura Trott, who tweeted: “Yayy!!! So happy for both of you. First Xmas at home.”
