Here's Elizabeth in a sleep-suit which actually does up over her exomphalos (see below for what's underneath!). The wires in the foreground with the 'Change on Wednesday' tag is the 'Central Line' - which is used to administer antibiotics and a tiny bit of TPN (the nourishment mixture) directly into her bloodstream. Other than that, the white wire you can see at Elizabeth's foot leads to a monitor stuck on on her foot with a plaster to measure blood oxygen; the white tube going up her nose is the naso-gastric tube that the milk is still going in for the moment; the other tube in her nose is just blowing the tiniest whiff of oxygen, but is only a few mm long & isn't as intrusive as the ventilator was.
