00:00 Well, basically it was around 3 o'clock in the morning.
00:04 I just got, I don't know what, like a mother's instinct
00:05 to go downstairs to see her.
00:07 She was doing fine the days before.
00:09 She was breathing for herself when she was first born.
00:11 She had a little bit of a CPAP just to help her,
00:14 but she was breathing fine for herself
00:16 and she was doing great.
00:17 So much so that the night before,
00:19 who Mike believes was Lucy Letby,
00:22 told him to go home and get some rest
00:24 'cause he looked tired.
00:27 3 o'clock in the morning, I just had an urge to go down.
00:30 I went downstairs, I sat by the cot.
00:32 But as I was walking towards the cot,
00:36 Lucy was standing over the cot.
00:38 She just looked up at me and then walked away
00:41 and then I walked towards the cot.
00:43 I sat down and within seconds,
00:48 all the beepers started going off and all hell broke loose.
00:51 Yeah, it was when I was walking down towards the cot
00:55 when she was doing fine, as we all thought,
00:58 I've got this constant and permanent image in my head
01:04 of when she was standing over the cot.
01:06 There was no smile and when she looked up,
01:07 it was just a look up and a really blank look on her face
01:11 and then she just walked off from the cot.
01:13 And then for everything to go crazy,
01:17 virtually within what felt like seconds after,
01:19 it may have been a little bit longer than that,
01:21 but it was just, I don't know,
01:25 it's just an image that I can't get out of my head
01:27 and as soon as I seen the image on the TV,
01:30 it was that exact same stare,
01:32 it was that exact same, the expression
01:35 and it just made me sick to the stomach.
01:37 No, as soon as all the alarms went off, she wasn't there.
01:40 She never came back to try to revive Felicity.
01:44 It was another nurse that came in
01:47 and basically pressed the emergency buzzers
01:50 and then other nurses came over after that,
01:53 after the initial nurse who pressed the buzzer.
01:55 I'm not sure who the other nurses were that came around
01:57 because I went into the state of shock
01:59 because I was screamed at to get Mike
02:01 'cause she said, "Get your husband."
02:05 And I kind of was in a state of shock in here
02:07 and then she screamed at me, "Get him now."
02:10 So everything just completely just went crazy after that.
02:12 No, we called for a meeting back in 2014, I think it was,
02:17 roughly a year after Felicity had been born
02:20 with the Countess and raised our concerns with them
02:23 and we were basically told it's one of them things
02:25 that sometimes happens in premature babies.
