A heartbroken mum has told how she longs for the day she can finally bring her baby daughter home - after spending every day of her life in hospital.
Poorly Matilda Bowcock has been under the specialist care of doctors from the minute she was born via planned Caesarean last November. Five months on, she has had 14 operations and mum Loren Bowcock, 28, still has no idea when she can bring her baby daughter home to live with older brother Harley, 11, and sister Mya, seven.
She said: "It's just like I'm not her mum. It's like something you see on the TV."

Loren, from Bolton, was told at her 20 week scan that Matilda had a heart condition known as transposition of the great arteries. It means the two main blood vessels leaving the heart - the pulmonary artery and the aorta - are swapped over.
Matilda was transferred to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool just 30 minutes after she was born on November 18. Loren couldn't even cuddle her for five days and the tiny tot has spent every day of her short life since then in hospital.
She had a septostomy when she was just a couple of hours old and has had over 14 operations including open heart surgery when she was 12 days old. Loren said: "You never go for the 20 week scan and think there is going to be something wrong.
"People don't realise that others have to live these lives until you're living it. You don't think anything like this would ever happen, it's something you see on the TV."
In January, Matilda had a cardiac arrest where her heart stopped beating for seven minutes, which Loren said felt like she had 'lost her.' She said: "My life just felt like it was over. I just felt like I had lost her.
