Jasmine survived the night, but had to be put on nitrous and oxygen, and a lot of ventilation. She was also on morphine and paralysis drugs. I then packed Ruth’s bag (!) as she was convinced on the Sunday that UCH would send her home. I then went to visit Jasmine in NICU where Juliette was looking after her.
Afterwards I went to Homerton to find my parents visiting Ruth. The surgeon said that Ruth could go home due to the circumstances as she had had a long night listening to babies crying and being monitored by the staff to check all was ok.
Later that evening we got a taxi to GOSH to visit Jasmine. I got an update, while Ruth was worrying in the parents’s waiting room. Ruth got to touch Jasmine for the first time. Ruth said that Jasmine was very beautiful with lots of curly black hair and very long piano-playing fingers. We stayed ten minutes then got a taxi back home.
