Straight away there was a lot of movement in the room. The NICU doctors immediately incubated the baby as they inserted lots of tubes and wires into her to help with her breathing and digestion and a NG tube to release any gas in her stomach and there were also wires to administer medication to keep the baby still and sedated. The baby was pit on artificial ventilation. The doctor then took an agpar score at 1 minutes which was a score of 3 and after 7 minutes a score of 6.
Jac and Jonny then got a quick glance at their newborn baby girl before she was whisked off to the NICU. They knew it would be a few hours probably til they saw her again after she had had lots of tests done to her.
Johnny looked lovingly at Jac who immediately curled into a ball and hid her face from Jonny. Jonny knew not to disturb her or ask how she was feeling because he knew what the answer would be as he felt himself like crying his eyes out and he knew that Jac must feel worse with her hormones and the shock.
Mr T then walked into the room and told Jonny that the baby had be stabilized and that they were hoping to perform the operation to fix the CDH in the next week or so and that in about an hour they could go and see her but on the meantime he asked if they wanted a photo each of their daughter which Jonny accepted with pleasure. Jac at this moment turned over to see Jonny starring at the photo and as he showed Jac she burst into tears as she though about her daughter being hooked up to all these machines and helplessly just lying there and knowing nothing of life but this and being all on her own in a scary place.
Jac looked at Jonny and asked what they should call her as she couldn't be called baby or bump or sweetheart all her life or even splodge which Jonny had called her since their 12 week scan. Johnny wanted Jac to chose the name so told her that it was her choice. Jac then told Jonny that she thought about Catriona Maureen Sasha Maconie. Johnny loved at the fact that she had chose a Scottish first name and their best friends names and his surname but not with hers. Jonny then asked of she was sure about the surname and nodded at him. Jac then asked Jonny if they could call her Kate as her nickname and name they used everyday.
Johnny then left Jac to sleep as he went down to Darwin to tell Mo and Elliott about Kate. When he arrived Mo saw him and went and gave him a massive hug. She then paged Sacha as she knew that he would want to hear about the babY and that Johnny would not want to have to go to AAU aswell. Jonny waited for Sacha and Elliott to arrive before telling them about her and her name and Mo and Sacha were very touched about the middle names. Sacha then gave Jonny and huge hug. While there he went to Jacs office and got her ipad but made sure that all her work related stuff was turned off and that she couldn't access it.
Johnny then wondered back to Maternity with the gifts that he had been given by the staff on Darwin and AAU. As he got into Jacs room he saw that the bed was empty and the bathroom door was open. He panicked where Jac was.
