I think the reason the prosecution called D's mom as a witness is to say that she saw LL 'hovering' over her baby the day before her death. The defence contests that Lucy was there. I assume therefore that LL wasn't D's designated nurse and had no business being there, hence not keeping notes of the interaction@infinit Just wanted to reply to your previous comment over in thread #5,
I do agree with you in regards to mum being somewhere else/recovering. But even when they attended together and LL was claimed to be hovering around the machines, mum asked how baby was and for some privacy, I honestly was expecting to see *some* interaction from that in some way at least in the nursing notes. Especially as mum asked if baby was ok at this point. I found it a little unusual there is reference to dad in the notes but not that interaction tbh.

And here we go again !2:31pm
A neonatal infusion prescription chart at 1.25am, for Child D, is shown to the court. Lucy Letby is one of the two nurses to provide a signature for a saline dose prescription at that time.
2:32pm
Child D then first collapsed at 1.30am.
Mr Johnson: "This is within a very short time of the document with Lucy Letby's signature on, isn't it?"
Kate Tyndall: "Yes."

The theme of discolurations is interesting and seems quite common in these babies. I wonder how common they are outside of these deaths.2:34pm
A nursing note, timestamped for 1.30pm but written retrospectively, recalls: "Called to nursery ward...[Child D] had desaturated to 70s, required oral suction as was bubbly and had lost colour. Discolourations to skin observed, trunk/legs/arm/chin."

Saline.And here we go again !
Perfect, thank you for clarifyingYou were right!
A nursing note at 7.15pm said attempts were made to get Child D off CPAP, but breathing was still 'shallow' off that, so CPAP resumed.
Swipe data showed Lucy Letby arrived at the neonatal unit at 7.26pm.
The handover note showed Letby was one of the nurses on duty that night, with a different nurse being the designated nurse for Child D, in room 1.
Letby was the designated nurse for two other babies in room 1
Given the comments we've heard so far about these almost flitting pink/purple rashes, it seems like they are unusual.The theme of discolurations is interesting and seems quite common in these babies. I wonder how common they are outside of these deaths.
