A good friend had triplets at 6 months, and they were in the Liverpool Women's Hospital, where apparently Lucy Letby worked (several years later thankfully). I found the fact that she killed two triplets really upsetting; I'd imagine a lot of people are feeling particularly upset by this because of personal experience of neonatal care and premature birth. Gonna give my mate's now 17 year old lads extra big hugs next time I see them. Hugs to you too.

    Thanks! Ours was born at 6 months too. This news is particularly upsetting when you know the stress of visiting your baby in hospital for months, and every time not knowing whether they'll still be there, or if they are there whether they'll have had a life-changing medical setback. I think it left us permanently changed emotionally, just to go through this. You have to put so much trust in the medical professionals, and everyone we dealt with (many years ago now) was just great. Glad your friends got through it. Best wishes to them and their kids.
