The Spratt family is now back home after an overseas ordeal.
JACKSON -- A New Jersey family stranded for months in Portugal after the premature birth of their daughter is back in New Jersey, according to a report.
WABC-TV reported that Kim Kirzow Spratt, Fred Spratt and baby Hayden touched down in a special medical transport plane around 2 p.m. Sunday at Teterboro Airport.
Spratt gave birth in May to twins 13 weeks early on a "babymoon" trip to Portugal, the report said. Hayden's twin brother, Hudson, did not survive, and Hayden needed special medical equipment to make the transatlantic flight.

The Spratt family, from Jackson, was originally denied insurance coverage for the costly medical flight home, but after the case received widespread attention, Highmark Blue Shield reversed the decision, the report said.
