0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Simon, can you take me some clothes?
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- Bring her some clothes because we've - stripped everything else off her.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- He'll stop in Next on the way!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Yes, I'm sure!

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Thank you.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- The crew must await instruction - from the pilot before embarking.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Accidents can happen - in exposed locations such as these.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Blade sail happens in strong winds, - when the blades go up and down.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Occasionally, - if people are tall enough...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- ..they can skim people's heads.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Helimed 61 is en route to Bangor...
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- ..to drop this one.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- But life hasn't been easy - for this young family.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- When her mother was pregnant...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- ..the 20-week scan revealed - that Elain had heart problems.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- It was a huge blow for Bridget - and her husband, Gareth.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- It came as a big shock, at first.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- We went into the scan, hoping - that everything would be fine.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- But that's not how it was at all.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- I took a week off work - and spent my days crying in bed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- It was horrendous.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- I Googled everything - - every heart condition...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- ..to find out - a child's life expectancy...
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- ..and what treatment was available.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- The worst thing about it...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- ..was not knowing what it was.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- It was a serious condition...
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- ..that would affect - the heart's ability to function...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- ..causing digestive - and breathing problems.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Elain was born in March 2010.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Although the family - was prepared for the worst...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- ..Elain's birth was straightforward.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- It was the happiest day of my life.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- She was born - in hospital in Bristol...
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- ..in case - she need surgery right away.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Luckily, she didn't, - so the birth was wonderful.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- But one night, - when Elain was 12 weeks old...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- ..her condition - rapidly deteriorated.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- She was at home in Aberystwyth - at the time.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- She literally turned blue - in front of my eyes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Her feet were purple.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- She kept crying and crying.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- The more she cried, - the bluer she became.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I said to Gareth, - "I have to phone an ambulance."
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- She needed specialist treatment - that wasn't available in Bronglais.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- The following morning, - the air ambulance...
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- ..rushed her - to Cardiff's Heath hospital.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Bridget held Elain in her arms - all the way to Cardiff.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- I knew Elain was safe.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- I wouldn't have liked it if - they'd whisked her away without us.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- From Cardiff, she was transferred - to Bristol's children's hospital...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- ..for heart surgery.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Elain spent 10 weeks - in the intensive care unit...
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- ..and spent a total - of five months in hospital.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- That was in June, and I - didn't come home until October.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- She underwent lots of operations.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- SHE CHATTERS
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- It was difficult coming back - to Aberystwyth after that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- We talked about moving to Cardiff...
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- ..or somewhere closer - to the major hospitals.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Despite their worries, - they've stayed in Aberystwyth.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Elain's condition is complicated.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- They haven't - been able to cure her...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- ..so she's going to get ill again.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Knowing - the air ambulance is there...
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- ..to rush your child to wherever - she needs to go immediately...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- You can't put a price - on something like that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- It's meant we can stay in - Aberystwyth, where we love living.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- They launched an appeal - to raise money...
0:11:57 > 0:12:03- ..for the Air Ambulance Service and - other charities that helped them.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Money has poured in - from people who've supported us.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- A sponsored bike ride - raised thousands...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- ..and we're so grateful for that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- It shows how much the service - means to people in rural Wales.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Clever girl!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- The family - has raised more than 54,000...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- ..with 10,000 - going to the Air Ambulance.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- The service has bought video - endoscopes for the helicopters...
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- ..making it easier - for paramedics to treat infants.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- It's important to know - where that money's going.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- We don't want it to pay staff, - we want them to buy things...
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- ..that are associated with Elain.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- There are many people in Wales - who know at least one person...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- ..who's benefited from the service.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- It's priceless, in my eyes.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03- That's why we've raised money - to ensure the service continues.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Elain still has health problems.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- She has to be tube-fed - and has speech difficulties.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Back and forth, back and forth.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- You're a big girl, aren't you?
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- A few months ago, Elain had further - surgery to improve her condition...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- ..but it was unsuccessful.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- We're unsure of her future.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- She unlikely to live very long...
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- ..but we don't know when - she'll deteriorate to the point...
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- ..where she needs further treatment.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Having the air ambulance there - makes us feel safe.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- We're also a close-knit community.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- It's a waiting game now.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- It might be six months...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- ..or even two or three years - - we just don't know.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15- I'd never been - on a motorboat before.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- It was - like something out of James Bond.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- At midday, they reached - a lagoon near Borth-Y-Gest.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- The man asked us - if we wanted to go for a swim...
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- ..so he stopped the boat - and we all jumped in.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- We swam around the boat once - and came back up.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- I wanted to carry on swimming...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- ..so I said I was jumping back in.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- There were two jet skis - circling the boat...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- ..and the water - was covering my face.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- I panicked - and caught hold of the ladder.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- But as Cian - tried to grab the ladder...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- ..the driver switched on the engine.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Suddenly, Cian felt himself - being pulled underwater.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- I didn't know what was there.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- The first thing I thought of was - that a shark had got hold of my leg.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- One of my friends said, - "Where's Cian?"
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- We felt sick, - knowing something had happened.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33- Cian was screaming in pain and - holding onto the boat for dear life.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- I saw blood in the water...
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- ..and a piece of skin - floating on the surface.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Marcus and the driver tried to pull - Cian into the boat but he was stuck.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- His leg was stuck in the propeller.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- I knew my skin had been ripped off.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- It felt like - when you take your coat off...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- ..and have to yank the zip.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- When they managed - to raise the propeller...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- ..they were able - to drag Cian out of the water.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- He came out of the water...
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- ..and I'd never seen anything - like that in my life before.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- The inside of his leg was outside - and blood was squirting.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- It was like something out of a film.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- His foot was hanging off.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- He needed urgent assistance.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- The driver called 999 - on the way back to the harbour...
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- ..as Marcus tried to stop the blood - pouring from his brother's leg.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- I just wanted to cry...
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- ..but I had to act as if - everything was going to be alright.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- When you see - things like that on telly...
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- ..blood loss and things - hanging off, it always ends badly.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- But it didn't scare me.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11- I remember telling my brother, - "Before I die, I want to see Mam."
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- As the boat docked in the harbour...
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- ..paramedic Andrew Watt - was there waiting for them.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- It looked like a butcher's shop.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Severe lacerations on the thigh, - the calf and the foot.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- I'm thinking, - "I have to do as much as I can...
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- "..to preserve his injuries - from getting worse."
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- It was hard keeping Cian conscious - and he was losing lots of blood.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- But the air ambulance - was on its way.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Sam Williams - was one of the paramedics on board.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- We responded to a call about - a young boy who'd jumped off a boat.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- We were told - it was a possible leg amputation.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- Looking down, there was a crowd - of people in the rear of the boat...
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- ..and the blood - was seeping over the back of it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- We feared the worse - for this young lad.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- While Sam - stayed with the helicopter...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- ..paramedic Carl Hudson - attended to Cian.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- The propeller had impacted his leg.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- His wounds were very, very serious.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- While I was walking down the ramp...
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- ..I saw Carl, who said - it wasn't a full amputation.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- He'd sustained - serious injuries to his leg.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- There was still a risk - that he could lose his leg.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- The three paramedics - had to work quickly.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- It was difficult to assess blood - loss because it happened in the sea.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- The water will disperse the blood - and you can't assess blood loss.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- We dressed the wounds - to ensure he was clean...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- ..and to stop - any haemorrhage as well.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Within minutes, - Cian was on his way to hospital.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- He was - rushed to theatre for surgery.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- He was - under the knife for four hours...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- ..as the surgeon - tried to save his leg.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- It's been 10 months - since the accident.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Cian knows he's a lucky boy.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- He'd torn - ligaments and muscles in his leg...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- ..and although - he was semi-conscious...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- ..he remembers - the paramedics helping him.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- I remember Carl putting his arm - around me, telling me not to cry.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- That was very comforting.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- I asked him if I was going to die...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- ..and he was smiling and said, - "No, don't be silly."
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- He said, "You're fine. You're with - us now, you're going to be fine."
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- They were talking to him - to keep him alert...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- ..and joking with him - to lift his spirits.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- He needed over 700 stitches.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- He'll need - further surgery in future...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- ..but he's grateful he's alive.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- I know for a fact...
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- ..if they weren't here, - I wouldn't be here either.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- After falling from her horse - last October...
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- ..Dawn Jones - is back riding once again.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39- It was very painful from December - to January, but I'm much better now.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44- I'm in no pain at all. I can - ride again and carry on as normal.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- She and her husband Simon - remember the accident clearly.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- She was doing really well...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- ..until things started to go wrong.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- She wanted to go one way - and the horse wanted to go another.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- There were sandcastles, and he - jumped over them unexpectedly.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I couldn't breathe very well, - so I turned over on my back...
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- ..and kept still.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I heard something break right away, - so I kept still.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Simon was astounded by the speed - at which the helicopter arrived.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Once I'd made the call, - it took them 14 minutes...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- ..to reach us, which was superb.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Dawn had broken five ribs...
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- ..and feared she'd be in pain - for hours without the air ambulance.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I was worried - they wouldn't reach me on the beach.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- I couldn't take - any pain relief either.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51- It was a big help being whisked away - in a helicopter from the seaside.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Before the accident, they'd raised - money for the Air Ambulance Service.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- They never thought - they'd need the service themselves.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Back then, we didn't think - we'd ever need the air ambulance.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- It goes to show - how vital the service is to us.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- It's there for us all...
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- ..and I advise everyone to - raise money for the Air Ambulance.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Coming up next week...
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- ..the story of a woman who needed - an urgent blood transfusion.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Nice and easy.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- And the mountain biker who ran into - difficulty on the Horseshoe Pass.
