I'm back at Manchester Crown Court this morning for the murder trial of nurse Lucy Letby. The jury will continue to hear evidence in relation to Child Q, who the Crown say Ms Letby attacked in June 2016. The premature baby boy was her final alleged victim
First witness of the day is nurse Samantha O'Brien, who was working a nightshift on 24 into 25 June 2016. She was the designated nurse for Child Q on that shift
From reviewing her notes, she tells the court that Child Q was 'stable' on the night of 24 June. The court has previously heard that the baby boy collapsed on the morning of 25 June and required breathing support
A doctor, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is now in the witness box - she was working a night shift on 24 going into 25 June 2016
Her clinical notes from that shift record that Child Q was 'very unsettled' into the early hours of 25 June - she said he was 'more unsettled than I would expect'. Her notes question whether he could be suffering from sepsis
Nurse Mary Griffith, who was working a day shift on 25 June, is now in the witness box
Nurse Griffith tells the court that on the morning of 25 June she was in nursery two. She was caring for another baby, when Ms Letby asked her to keep an eye on Child Q while she went to check on another child in her care in nursery one
Minutes after Ms Letby left, Child Q's alarm sounded and Nurse Griffith attended him with another nurse - soon after doctors were called onto the unit, as Child Q needed breathing support
Nurse Minna Lappalainen is now in the witness box. She assisted Nurse Griffith when Child Q collapsed. She tells the court she turned Child Q on his side, gave breathing support and suction (as he had vomited)
Nursing notes, written in retrospect, stated that Child Q was 'mottled' in appearance
