Struggling new mum Chloe Harris was dealt yet another gruelling blow on Tuesday's episode of Emmerdale, when medics informed her that her seriously ill baby Reuben may actually have a bleed on the brain.
Since being taken ill last week, the poorly newborn has been fighting for his life in hospital after doctors diagnosed the youngster with bacterial meningitis.
Placed in intensive care and supported by a ventilator to help him breathe, doctors had hoped that Reuben would be well enough to be removed from the machine on Tuesday, however sadly his blood pressure dropped too significantly, leaving the little one unable to breathe without support.
Placed back on the vent as his body recovered, Chloe was told by doctors that one possible cause of the drop may be down to a bleed on the brain.
