She's now disputing that Dr Brearey didn't tell her not to come in. Bloody liar Letby. After she said she was coming in he then phoned Karen Rees to try to get her stopped.

Messages are shown between Letby and the doctor from 9.14pm on June 23:
Doctor: 'Your notes must have taken a long time - Had you documented anything from this morning?'
LL: 'Only a little. Had the other 2 to write on as well and sorting out the ffp etc. Left signing for drugs until tomorrow'
A nurse also messaged Letby: 'F***in hell, what happened?'
LL: 'Can't Think straight so took a while'
LL: 'Blew up abdomen think it's sepsis'
Letby says it's not a term she uses often, but she had seen it before.
LL: 'Had big tummy overnight but just ballooned after lunch and went from there'
Letby tells the court that is what she said, having been reviewed by a doctor and Child O had a loopy bowel. She says she is referring to distention found prior to 8am.
LL, at 9.33pm: 'Worry as identical'
Mr Johnson: "Were you setting up a false narrative here?"
Letby: "No, that's not what I'm suggesting at all."
NJ: "You had already set your plan in motion by pumping air into [Child P] before you left."
LL: "No."

Yip 80% where I worked too. Although it was palliative care we intervened then (or before), depending on circumstances of course.They pulled the emergency buzzer at 80% in the NICU we were in 30% is madness
ETA: why is she talking such blatant
? Does she think the jury have learned nothing after months of medical evidence? I can’t imagine they’ll be impressed with these ridiculous attempts to bamboozle.

I don't want to side track the thread, but if other people are also interested in knowing, could you say a bit about how you put personal feelings and thoughts aside?
I work in healthcare now. It's a basic ethical principle that everyone has a right to a good standard of treatment and care, no matter who they are or what they've done. This fits with my own values, so I'm confident I can uphold it. But in the legal sphere it looks like a much more challenging thing to do, because you're actually involved in establishing whether the person did what they were accused of or not. I think I'd find it much more difficult to step back from my own opinions and stay clear-headed in that situation, so I'm interested to know how you develop the skill and if it gets easier with time.

Letby 'pumped air into Child P' before leaving work
Text messages Lucy Letby sent in the aftermath of Child O's death are shown to the court.
Colleague (9.13pm): Your notes must have taken a long time - Had you documented anything from this morning?
Letby (9.14pm): Only a little. Had the other 2 to write on as well and sorting out the ffp [a type of blood transfusion] etc. Left signing for drugs until tomorrow.
Letby (9.15pm): Can't think straight so took a while
The court is then shown another conversation Letby was having with another colleague at the same time.
Colleague 2 (9.14pm): F***** hell what happened
Letby (9.15pm): Blew up abdomen think it's sepsis
"I am also going to suggest you are telling your friend [...] lies in these texts," Mr Johnson says, before showing another text.
Letby to Colleague 2 (9.16pm) Had big tummy overnight but just ballooned after lunch and went from there
Mr Johnson suggests this was a "not accurate" reflection of what had happened on the night shift.
"I believe he had had an enlarged abdomen overnight," Letby says.
Letby then expressed concern in a text to Colleague 2 about Child O's triplet.
Mr Johnson accuses Letby of "trying to create in the minds of other people" that there would be a similar problem with Child P.
"
No, that is not what I am suggesting," Letby says.
"Because that is what you were planning," Mr Johnson says.
"No, it is not."
"Because you had already put your plan into motion by pumping air into Child P before you left."
"No."

Child O died in his parents' arms after being baptised
Child O was baptised and then died in his parents' arms at 5.47pm on 23 June 2016.
In her nursing notes the following day, Lucy Letby wrote "peripheral access lost" in relation to why the infant required an IV.
A doctor has previously told the court this was not true.
"That is [colleague]'s opinion," Letby tells the court.
Letby is accused of injecting air into Child O.
"Why were you making an untrue statement in the form?" Mr Johnson asks.
"I don't believe it was untrue at the time."
"Is it just a coincidence you were making this report pretty much at the time you had been removed from the unit?" Mr Johnson asks.
"I hadn't been removed from the unit at this point."
Letby says she was removed from the neonatal unit in July.
"You were very worried they were on to you, weren't they?"
"No."

Today’s reading is absolutely draining 
12:59pm
An examination of Child P at 10am on June 23, 2016 was "unremarkable", the court hears.
Letby accepts that. She adds there was nothing of note during the day.
Mr Johnson suggests Child P worsened after Child O passed away. Letby agrees.
A 6pm feed for Child P is signed by Letby, and she says the writing above is not by her.
Dr John Gibbs had reported in his 6pm review for Child P that the baby boy was doing well.
A blood sample taken at 6.35pm taken to a lab showed no signs of infection.
Letby denies overfeeding Child P 'at some point' between 5pm-8pm on June 23.

Disputing what the parents saw, yet again. How dare she.
She's just relentlessToday’s reading is absolutely draining
Sorry to sidetrack but does anyone have any idea of what kind of sentence she would be likely to receive if found guilty....surely a whole life tariff?
She just chats absolute tit
“I collect paper” yesterday
“I forgot I took it home” today
Just duck off

Child P 'took a turn' after his brother died
The prosecution is now moving on to the case of Child P - Child O's triplet brother.
Child P died on 24 June 2016 - a day after his brother - as he was being prepared for transfer to another hospital.
"
Do you accept Child P was born in good condition?" Nick Johnson KC, the prosecution barrister, asks.
"Yes," Lucy Letby says.
An examination on 23 June noted Child P's condition as "unremarkable".
But, Mr Johnson claims, events "took a turn" after Child O's death that evening.
"Do you agree?" he asks.
"Yes."
A doctor previously noted that Child P had been doing "Remarkably well for a triplet baby and very well grown."
Blood tests also came back as "entirely normal".

It gets more depressing everyday...many moons ago I had a placement on NICU and these babies are so helpless and vulnerable and so tiny and the thought of someone harming them and causing them pain makes my blood run cold....absolute sickening case.Today’s reading is absolutely draining
It surely can't be anything less. Abusing that trust, that profession for her sick pleasure. She is one of todays most prolific serial killers if found guilty.
Anything less is a slap in the face to all of those babies, families and colleagues that she has put through this torment
Do we know the gestation of the triplets?
