It's tough

We just had a bit of a bad moment.

We got back from lunch and Katy had just had a dip in heartrate and oxygen. She was being treated for it (extra oxygen) and this has happened before (its quite common). So that wasn't very nice.

At the sam time, one of the senio nurses must have had a cob on because she was slamming bins,talking loudly and disturbing us a lot. I think we will complain.

On top of those two things, the nursery was about to get another admission, by c-section. If you imagine ER with the docs+nurses running everywhere then you are about right. Leanne sent me out then,we were both really upset, because she knew what it would be like when the new baby was being stabilised.

It was our first experience of the unit being on alert and it was not very nice. I have just spoke to Leanne and unfortunately the baby who was due to come down died, and katy was fine through it all. Katy was frowning and Leanne gave her a calming hand on the tummy and she stopped frowning.

Leanne is expressing milk now and I'm outside in the sun with my folks. The madness is over now and i'm sure we will go through it again in the next few weeks and months, hopefully we will be better prepared for it next time.

It did not apper to effect Katy.
