They are all now home from the hospital. 

Dakota was in critical condition and had to have surgery to repair his skull. He has finished rehab and is getting back to his normal routine. 

Caleb was released from Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital fairly quickly, and wasn't badly hurt.

Their mother is still in constant pain. 

Family members say it's been very hard, the challenges aren't over yet, but they're thankful everyone is alive.
