Morning all! i've just (and only just!) seen an email from Jo's Mark about the baby...............
"Tristan Frederick Cox, was delivered at 14:33 on Tuesday 19th January at Dundee's Ninewells Hospital.
Unfortunately, nothing about the labour went to plan and Jo ended up having an emergency caesarian section. The problems didn't end there as a blood vessel was not reattached whilst they were sewing her up and she was rushed back into the operating theatre at a couple of hours later suffering from major blood loss. Fortunately, the surgeons were able to repair the blood vessel and she was given multiple blood transfusions - to the extent that none of the blood she ended up with was her own! There are potential complications to such major blood transfusions and Jo has spent the last 24 hours in the High Dependancy Unit of the Labour Suite at Ninewells with multiple drips and monitors but has shown remarkable improvement. She is expected to continue to improve now that the immediate crisis is passed. Tristan is a very health, happy baby despite the dramatic nature of his arrival.
Jo will have to stay in hospital for several days yet and will, no doubt, e-mail you with all the gory details when she returns home."
I will try to contact Mark and find out if Jo is well enough for hospital visitors and will let you all know if I get to see her.
Polly I'm sorry to have got you to bursting point, I won't do it again!
