-There are some mornings

-when you know all will be well.

-Well, it's that sort of morning

-on Dewi Ward.

-I'm in a little village and lava

-has started spreading everywhere.

-I've stopped it by getting a bucket

-and taking it out of there.

-If you've got a bucket,

-you can carry the lava in that.

-How much time will it take you to

-carry all that lava out of there?

-I've just finished.

-I've just finished.

-

-OK. What's your next job?

-I've got to kill the zombies.

-The zombies are trying to kill

-the people who help me to work.

-My villagers.

-It's better to kill zombies

-than go for an operation.

-I need an operation

-to insert a grommet into my ears...

-..because I can't hear properly.

-How did they find out

-you couldn't hear properly?

-I had to do a test.

-I wore headphones and when I heard

-a sound, I had to press a button.

-I didn't press every button.

-There were a few I couldn't hear

-so they knew I needed a grommet.

-Get back

-to killing those zombies, Mabon.

-Lowri is the first

-to go down this morning.

-Lowri is used to operations.

-This is the second time

-in six weeks for her.

-Do you want to sit up there?

-She fell over while wearing

-wheeled shoes.

-Are we off, Lowri?

-Lowri has broken her wrist.

-The surgeons put

-a titanium rod in her wrist...

-..to help the healing process.

-Here's number 6. In we go.

-Good morning.

-It's time for the rod

-to be removed.

-Its work is done.

-It's breakfast time on Dewi Ward.

-For one little girl, breakfast

-is something that's changed forever.

-I felt really sick and I kept

-throwing up and I would drink a lot.

-Did you... did you have any smells?

-I went to see the doctor and she

-said I smelt like pear drops.

-Pear drops.

-What happened afterwards?

-The next day...

-..I came to the doctor's and I was

-sent to hospital straight away.

-After a blood test, Poppy found out

-that she had Type 1 diabetes.

-Her pancreas isn't producing

-insulin any more.

-It's going to change her lifestyle.

-There you go.

-Before every meal, Poppy needs

-to give her finger a prick...

-..and use a glucose meter.

-It tells us the level

-of sugar in her blood.

-Poppy has already told us what she

-wants for breakfast this morning.

-We've worked out how many carbs

-will be in that meal.

-Poppy gets one unit of insulin for

-every 10g of carbohydrate she eats.

-We also calculate how much insulin

-she needs...

-..to bring her blood sugar

-level below 7.

-The normal range for blood sugar,

-which is our aim, is between 4-7.

-She has one unit of insulin to bring

-her blood glucose down by 3.

-The consultant has already worked

-out what's needed...

-..because we knew what Poppy wanted

-for breakfast.

-We'll fetch the insulin now

-and then she can have breakfast.

-It's important to administer

-the insulin just before meals...

-..for it to work

-on the food she consumes.

-Back at theatre number 6...

-..Lowri is about to have one of the

-quickest operations I've ever seen.

-They clean the hand.

-They place a cover over everything.

-A small cut to the wrist.

-Out comes the wire.

-The wire is called the Nancy Nail.

-It's named after the French town

-where it was first used.

-Ta-da!

-That's how her wrist was fixed...

-..and obviously it's not nice

-to take that out under local.

-That's why Lowri's asleep.

-And now we just close her up

-and she goes off to the ward...

-..and can hopefully

-eat and drink soon.

-Back in time for breakfast.

-That's exactly

-what Poppy is facing...

-..if she can master

-this insulin business.

-This morning's dose is eight units.

-The doctor's worked it out.

-There you are.

-The needles are in there.

-Popped it in there for you.

-Lovely.

-Eight units.

-If me and Jan could just see that.

-OK.

-Are you ready?

-Where are we going, Poppy?

-Leg or arm?

-Leg or arm?

-

-Leg.

-Leg? OK then.

-She does get worried about this.

-We know we have to have it

-to have our breakfast, don't we?

-OK?

-Just the top of your leg, darling.

-Can Mummy do it?

-Can Mummy do it?

-

-OK.

-You're a brave girl, aren't you?

-Don't do the counting.

-Don't do the counting.

-

-You can do the counting.

-Yes, of course you can, right then.

-For a little girl who isn't used

-to injections, it's hard to cope.

-She can have some breakfast

-and go to the playroom for a walk.

-Do you want to go to the playroom

-and see what's going on there?

-OK? Ready?

-It's OK. It's OK.

-We know you're anxious, darling.

-You're doing so good.

-You're better than the other day.

-Do you want to hold my hand again

-and do the breathing?

-Lowri is back

-with a big smile on her face.

-We can put the trolley next to the

-bed and you can slide over...

-..or do you want me to carry you?

-Which would you prefer?

-Slide across.

-Slide across? OK.

-We have to move these sides first.

-We'll take the oxygen mask off, yes?

-Move over to your bed.

-Take the blanket with you.

-Watch you don't fall in the hole.

-It's awfully difficult

-to cope with everything.

-The things people tell you

-or the things people do to you...

-..when there's a diagnosis

-of diabetes.

-It's hard for adults to comprehend

-never mind children.

-Especially if they're already

-slightly nervous children.

-They know it's coming every mealtime

-so there's a build-up to it.

-Once it's happened the first time...

-..they know to expect it

-again and again.

-There's the realization

-that it happens every day.

-Some children may think it happened

-yesterday but won't happen today.

-Understanding that it's something...

-..that has to keep going forever

-is a major feat.

-She is better. The little girl

-is much better than she was.

-I don't know what I'd do...

-..if someone told me I had to have

-those injections four times a day.

-It's a lot to deal with.

-She's doing well.

-Her mother's doing really well.

-We are getting better.

-It's just the anxiety.

-Mabon is back.

-He has brand-new grommets

-in his ears.

-Hurry up! It's almost lunchtime.

-Ready, sweetheart?

-It stings.

-I know, darling.

-I know, darling.

-

-Watch the film.

-That's a better film, it was

-my favourite when I was little.

-Come on, then.

-Stay nice and still for Mummy.

-Your pizza's ready

-and it looks delicious.

-Ready?

-Well done. All the way down, Mam.

-Now start counting.

-One.

-Two.

-Three.

-Four.

-Five.

-Good girl.

-Good girl.

-

-Six. Seven.

-Eight.

-Nine.

-Ten.

-Fantastic, well done.

-Brilliant.

-Good girl.

-What does everyone want

-on Dewi Ward today?

-There we are, pizza and chips.

-Pizza, chips and beans.

-Pizza, chips and sweetcorn.

-Mabon, you shouldn't eat

-with your mouth full!

-There's no lunchtime

-for the nurses.

-It's too busy.

-There are three coming in today.

-There's one lad

-coming in for surgery.

-He's come in with a stomach ache.

-There are another two.

-There's an 18-month old boy coming

-in with difficulty breathing.

-There's another boy coming in

-with a fever and a cough.

-He also has problems with his lungs.

-The first to arrive, in his

-grandfather's arms, is Owain Parry.

-We took him to see the doctor

-in Caernarfon yesterday.

-He was coughing.

-We went back this morning.

-He had a temperature

-so they sent us back here.

-Just what we want!

-But it doesn't matter, does it?

-All we want is for you

-to be healthy and happy.

-We were at Alder Hey in August.

-He scalded himself

-with a cup of tea.

-He'd pulled it off the worktop

-and scalded his face and chest.

-We were up in Alder Hey for a week.

-Weren't we?

-You had to go into theatre,

-didn't you?

-He scraped parts on his chest, here.

-He scraped parts on his chest, here.

-

-Oh!

-We've been in the wars this year,

-haven't we?

-What's the word he says now?

-Na - "No"! That's his favourite.

-No to everything?

-Sometimes he says yes.

-But "Na" is what he says usually.

-No.

-Do you want to see Taid?

-Yes?

-He's been at home with Taid.

-He's Taid's boy!

-Aren't you?

-Yes.

-Some children are all too familiar

-with wandering around Dewi Ward.

-Gruff has cystic fibrosis.

-He's four years old so we're used

-to the condition by now.

-We're in this morning

-because Gruff has been choking.

-He hasn't improved.

-He's been on antibiotics

-for two weeks.

-We need to look at

-changing the antibiotics.

-Can you describe

-how they take the sample?

-They take a sample of the mucus

-that Gruff's coughing up.

-That will tell us if there's

-anything growing inside.

-The doctor can then tell us

-what kind of antibiotics he needs.

-Gruff is the third

-of three children.

-He has an older sister and brother.

-It was quite a shock for us

-as a family...

-..to find out that the third

-suffered with this disease.

-We assumed

-they were all born healthy.

-It was a major change for us

-in the first weeks.

-It was a lot of work,

-medicine and physio.

-You get used to it quite quickly.

-It's a part of every day.

-He gets 20 minutes of physio

-in the morning.

-He has another 20 minutes

-in the afternoon.

-It depends on how bad he is.

-He takes five different medicines.

-He's on antibiotics

-on top of that when he's coughing.

-Celt has the same condition.

-He isn't being bothered

-by a cold today.

-Celt's been complaining

-of a headache.

-He has red spots on his chest.

-He hasn't been coughing

-more than usual?

-No.

-No.

-

-If anything, it's drier.

-Yes, he's just got a headache.

-Does your head hurt now, Celt?

-No.

-No.

-

-It's better now, is it?

-Does it hurt when you cough?

-Uh, yes.

-Does it hurt

-when you have your physio?

-Umm, umm no.

-No? OK.

-What about any other times?

-Does it hurt at other times?

-Umm, in the night.

-In the night.

-In the night.

-

-Yes.

-As much

-as I don't want to take blood.

-They're burst small blood vessels.

-So we need to check his platelets.

-Yes, OK.

-While we're doing that,

-we can check his white cell count.

-If it's viral,

-we'll know what it is.

-I think we'll have to, won't we?

-The fact that they're nowhere else

-is reassuring.

-It's odd that they're just here.

-The reason I was asking if he was

-choking more...

-..they can happen from here

-upwards with the coughing.

-There's pressure.

-If there's pressure in the port

-the veins can block and burst.

-We'll take a drop of blood.

-OK, Celt?

-We have to take some blood.

-Can we take it from your finger.

-OK?

-Here?

-No, not the port, the finger.

-Is that OK?

-Is that OK?

-

-Yes.

-We'll try to do it very quickly?

-Shall we do it? Then we can work out

-what's causing this rash.

-Shall we do it so you can go home?

-Yes?

-Yes, OK.

-You're a good lad.

-You never make a fuss.

-We'll sort it out,

-I'll have a word with Mel.

-Alright?

-Yes.

-You're such a good boy.

-It's time to get to grips

-with what's worrying Owain Parry.

-So, when he started

-this cough and fever...

-..do you think the feeding

-has been decreased?

-A bit, yes.

-They said that if the temperature

-is below 38, we can go home.

-He has a throat infection.

-I'm hoping. It was 38.2C now.

-Hopefully we can go home even though

-it's a bit over 38C.

-I'm hoping we won't have to stay in.

-They're very good here

-but we'd rather be at home.

-He'd be in his own space then

-at home.

-You've got to have your checks.

-Are you feeling a bit better?

-No.

-You don't want to say "no".

-Nain and Taid will be here

-to see you later.

-He's not himself at all right now.

-He doesn't like being disturbed.

-But in a while,

-he'll be back to his usual self.

-This is Nurse Mel.

-She's come to take Celt's blood

-but from which hand?

-No, not that one,

-there's felt tip on it.

-I think these are better.

-Shall we go for these ones?

-Which one, this one?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-That one.

-The pin is the biggest problem.

-He's worried about it going in.

-He's worried

-about when it comes out then too.

-This is a plan that's been put in

-place by Alder Hey.

-It's been a year's solid treatment.

-That's since he grew a rare bug,

-the cystic fibrosis, to be honest.

-If we're lucky and he stops growing

-this bug up until January 2017...

-..hopefully,

-we can stop the treatment...

-..and won't have to keep going

-for another year.

-Would you like Mel to go and get you

-some chocolate from the shop?

-Ooh. Which sweet?

-Which one would you like?

-I think I like Kinder bar.

-Kinder bar.

-Have you got one?

-I haven't got one

-but I'll go and get you one.

-Out shopping?

-Out shopping?

-

-From the shop.

-Look.

-Taid is on his way.

-Owain has had enough.

-Maybe Taid can help.

-Yes, he misses Taid.

-We'll see you later, OK?

-We're on the ward again.

-Right, OK.

-Right, OK.

-Say see you later, Taid.

-Bye, bye!

-Say ta-ta!

-Bye.

-Bye. Bye.

-Poppy is going home.

-The diabetic nurse,

-Carolyn Bowness...

-..has come to make sure

-everyone's happy.

-Poppy was a bit more anxious.

-She had anxiety before

-being admitted to the hospital.

-This then made that anxiety worse.

-It took a lot of work

-and applied psychology.

-We realized we needed

-to work with the family.

-Mam needed to be able to do this

-before going home.

-It took up to an hour sometimes

-to administer the injection.

-That will take less each time.

-She's gone home. It's easier

-to do at home than trying here.

-Taid is back.

-Owain is finally happy.

-He really is Taid's boy!

-Oh dear.

-Celt has finished.

-It's time to go home.

-Luckily, because I work here,

-I can do a lot of treatment at home.

-I do everything at home.

-He gets it four times a day.

-We do it at 5 o'clock in

-the morning then again at 11...

-..at 5 o'clock in the evening

-then 11 at night.

-We've been doing that for a solid

-two weeks. It's very tiring.

-I don't want to stay here.

-I'll see you soon.

-One little lad wants to stay.

-Maybe being in the hospital

-isn't all that bad after all.

-Gruff and Celt are looking forward

-to a summer without colds!

-Owain has an asthma pump

-but still has trouble.

-Lowri is back in her wheeled shoes

-despite her mother's protests!

-Mabon can now hear the zombies

-before they land.
