The siblings saved from drowning inside a crashed pickup last weekend were released from the hospital Wednesday.
Phillip and Emily Ocheltree were on their way to a storm shelter in Van Zandt County when powerful winds and heavy rain caused Phillip to lose control of the truck.
The truck overturned and began filling with rushing water. Passersby came to the couple's rescue and free the children trapped in their car seats.
In a Facebook Live video posted Wednesday morning, father Phillip Ocheltree can be seen walking with his daughter Addy through the halls of Children's Medical Center in Dallas in the hours before they were to be discharged.
The hospital confirmed to NBC 5 the family left the hospital later that day.
Phillip made another post on Facebook Wednesday afternoon showing photographs of the family's damaged truck and thanking the good Samaritans that came to their rescue, saving their children.

"Being able to look back and say my family is alive because of what all these people have done to support us and addybug I can't thank you all enough for everything you have done for our family God is great everyday every single day. Thank you all so much," Ocheltree posted.
The group of good Samaritans who helped Emily and Phillip Ocheltree braved wind, rain and tornadoes to save the couple's two children Saturday.
The storms the Ocheltree's were caught in is the same one that spawned seven tornadoes Saturday night in North Texas that killed four people and injured dozens of others.
The couple were on their way to a storm shelter when powerful winds and heavy rain caused Phillip to crash.
Passersby stopped to help the couple, and quickly learned there were two young children trapped in their car seats inside the overturned vehicle as it began to fill with water.
Thomas Mitchell, one of the passersby who stopped to help, also shot heart-wrenching video of the rescue that showed the couple's young daughter limp when she was pulled from the vehicle.
At one point, Mitchell put the phone in his pocket to help give the baby CPR, but he kept the recording going and we can hear what happened.
"It was something that I can't believe happened," Enrique Martinez, overcome with emotion, told NBC News on Monday. "People were crying, there was a lot of confusion. The parents were still in the car at the time. Everyone was trying to do as much as they could do."The good Samaritans performed CPR as a woman nearby prayed for Jesus to let the baby breathe.
"When they said they are breathing, I said, 'Please, let me have my babies, let them be in my arms," Emily Ocheltree said. "I see my daughter's lifeless body just sitting on the back of the truck, and you just don't know what to do. I can't go over there. It's a miracle what they did."
"There's no debt in the world that I could repay them," she said.
