0:00:02 > 0:00:07- Ysbyty Gwynedd - serves the largest area in Wales.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12- Patients come - from Barmouth to Aberdaron...

0:00:12 > 0:00:14- ..and from Holyhead to Penmaenmawr.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18- Some travel for two hours - to reach the hospital.

0:00:18 > 0:00:22- In the early hours of the morning, - he had a temperature spike of 38.9.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26- They want him taken to Liverpool - this morning with blue lights.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Over 3,000 children - come to Ysbyty Gwynedd every year.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34- Open your mouth wide. Say ah.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Let's see, little one.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Let's see, little one.- - She won't hurt you.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Some come in and out - on the same day.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Others come in as an emergency.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- I made something that perfect!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- But each and every one - receives the same care.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- I'm paid to make young children - feel better.

0:00:53 > 0:00:54- It's the best job in the world.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- They say that being - a children's doctor...

0:01:06 > 0:01:08- ..is more of a calling - than a career.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13- Cube 1 is a bit of a challenge, - just for you to know.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- She has sickle cell. - They're Jehovah's.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23- But that's not how Dr Mair Parry - came to Ysbyty Gwynedd.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- I'd love to tell you that I decided - at eight years old...

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- ..that this was what I wanted to do.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33- But truthfully, until I was about 14 - I wanted to be a vet.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- I wanted to look after animals.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I liked animals - and I enjoyed science at school.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- That sounds a bit geeky - but it's the truth!

0:01:43 > 0:01:49- By the age of about 13 or 14, - I had decided to study Medicine.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54- That's what happened. I think - the school played its part as well.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Ysgol David Hughes - was very good at breeding doctors.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- That's a good thing because - on the children's ward...

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- ..Dr Mair is the only doctor - at her level who speaks Welsh.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Are you going to have a nap as well?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- You were up all night as well.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11- You were up all night as well.- - I'll sleep tonight.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- That's assuming that you'll sleep - tonight too, little one.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22- I'm a better doctor here in Bangor - than anywhere else in the world.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Just because of the way I speak. - It's more than just language.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- It's about emotions - and the world around us.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33- It's about - this little part of the world.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- If they play for Bethel, I know that - when they play against Llanrug...

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- ..it's a really important match!

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- For the family of one child - who has cancer...

0:02:43 > 0:02:48- ..receiving treatment through - the medium of Welsh is invaluable.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Hello, mischief.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52- Who is it?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- This is Osian. He's 18 months.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- He'll be 19 months on the 13th.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- He was diagnosed with acute - lymphoblastic leukaemia...

0:03:03 > 0:03:05- ..in April this year.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10- We're still - in the first stages of treatment.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- As you can see, he's come in.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I remember the day - as though it was yesterday.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- They said there was something wrong - with his platelets...

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- ..and his white blood cells.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- That was how they diagnosed - leukaemia.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Osian was sent immediately...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- ..to the specialist children's - hospital in Liverpool.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- At Alder Hey, they diagnosed A L L.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- That is Acute Lymphoblastic - Leukaemia.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Why does such a young child have to - have such a horrible disease?

0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Osian came in a few months ago - with a rash and bruises.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Although most cases like that - are not a problem...

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- ..in Osian it was a sign - that he had leukaemia.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- He's just started receiving - chemotherapy cycles.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- When you have chemotherapy...

0:04:04 > 0:04:09- ..the infection-fighting white blood - cells become very low in number.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Children receiving chemotherapy are - more likely to pick up infections.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- When they get an infection, - it tends to be worse...

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- ..because there are very few - white blood cells to fight it.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- He's come in because of a high - temperature - a sign of infection.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25- He's been given antibiotics.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30- We have quite a stringent process - which is shared with Alder Hey.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Anywhere in the country, if - you have leukaemia, a temperature...

0:04:34 > 0:04:38- ..and a low white blood cell count, - you receive the same treatment.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- We're keeping him in today...

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- ..because his blood has gone down - since yesterday.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Yesterday, his NEUT count was 1.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Today, it's come down to 0.3.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- That makes him susceptible - to any infections around.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56- Which week are we?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Which week are we?- - Six.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- It's a crucial time.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- So they may cancel chemo - and stop the Septrin.

0:05:04 > 0:05:04- Just to see if...

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Just to see if...- - He hasn't had chemo for two weeks.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Only in his back on Thursday - but no oral chemo.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- It's the back chemo - that has caused this.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18- We'll redo the bloods again tomorrow - morning and we'll contact Alder Hey.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- We'll see about going home - this afternoon.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- If he's a flattener, - we won't disturb him.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26- That's fine.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- It's raining and wet - and the weather's horrible.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33- OK. That's fine.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- OK. That's fine.- - You sure?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Maybe he can go home tomorrow, - with the antibiotics and everything.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Another child - who may have to stay in is Tulla.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Was she herself - or was she quite sleepy?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- She wasn't herself.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- So she wasn't awake? - And then did it start again?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It stopped for about 20 seconds - and then it started again.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- When it restarted, - was her whole body jerking?

0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Yes.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Tulla, who's nine months old, - had a fit in the early hours.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07- When the ambulance came...

0:06:08 > 0:06:12- ..I understand they took - her temperature and it was 37.7.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- But she'd stopped fitting by then.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Yes. You've got a lot to say!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Right, can you put her on your knee - so that I have a look at her?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- It's hard to believe now that she - had a fit lasting over a minute.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Every second was like an age - for her mother.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- If she screams, - it often makes it easier.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Can you put your hand - over her hands?

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Is that what you think? - You're not impressed, are you?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- We think that she's had - what we call a febrile fit.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- It's a fit that comes with - a high temperature.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- A child's temperature going up - quickly can cause a fit.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- It's not how high the temperature is - but more to do with the speed.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- It's quite common.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Between 3% and 5% - of babies will have them...

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- ..between the ages - of 6 months to 6 years.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09- OK.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Most children who have them - will only have one.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14- So we hope she's had that one.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- But if they have another one...

0:07:17 > 0:07:21- ..they're quite likely to have it - soon after the first.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- We'll keep an eye on her - until tonight.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- We'll see how she is during the day.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I want to see if there's a pattern - with the temperature.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- It's gone up again now - but she seems OK.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- We'll just keep an eye on her - because she's so little.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- A few hours - and we'll see how she is.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40- Great, thanks.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Daniel Cranston from Anglesey - is the next one through the door.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Three months ago, Alder Hey Hospital - found cancer in his breast...

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- ..and started chemotherapy - straight away.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Because of the treatment, - Daniel has lost use of his legs...

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- ..so he has to use a wheelchair - at the moment.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Right, who's going to do this? I'll - do the blood. Can you do the flush?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Or do you want me to do it?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- You need the flush - because they're taking blood.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Before every session, - Eleri makes sure...

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- ..that the pipes used - to give the chemo are clear.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Does it hurt when I lift it?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Not that time.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25- It does usually.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- It does usually.- - There's a nice little scab there.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- She also takes a little blood.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- We look at Daniel's haemoglobin, - his platelet count...

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- ..and his white cell - and neutrophil count.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42- The results will show me - whether Daniel is fit enough...

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- ..to go to Liverpool on Monday - to carry on with the treatment.

0:08:47 > 0:08:53- Unfortunately, if the neutrophil - count is lower than 1...

0:08:53 > 0:08:57- ..they'll postpone the chemotherapy - for a week.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- So it drags everything out.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01- He's doing well this week.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- He's doing well this week.- - Have you been to school?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- I went to school all day on Tuesday.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- All day? Was that too much?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- I was OK.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- I've done all my BAC work.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- You've done it? You're keen!

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- He didn't want to redo it - in September.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- Can you manage that? - One, two, three, clamp.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Well done. Better today.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Opening it is the problem.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36- We start on the fourth cycle - of chemotherapy next Monday.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41- It depends on today's blood results - and if he's strong enough.

0:09:41 > 0:09:47- They're doing another assessment - in August.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51- They'll do an MRI scan in Liverpool - and a PET scan in Preston.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53- So we'll see how they go.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- But he'll also have radiotherapy - at Clatterbridge...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- ..at the end of August.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- That's the plan so far.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- But before that, there is - a big decision to be made.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Daniel wants to colour - his remaining hair.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- He wants it to be blue.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14- What about red?

0:10:14 > 0:10:15- What about red?- - Red?

0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Red would be better. Red for Wales.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- He has months of treatment ahead.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- And a good few journeys - from Amlwch to Liverpool.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- I'd like to go up there - first thing on Monday.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Should I phone them - to ask if that's OK?

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- I'll write it on the results. I'll - tell them you'll be there at 8.30am.

0:10:37 > 0:10:38- 8.30am?!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40- 8.30am?!- - OK. Maybe not. What time then?

0:10:40 > 0:10:45- I'd say... seven, eight, nine.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Half past nine.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48- Half past nine.- - Half past nine.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- By the time he gets on the machine, - it'll be ten. Another six hours.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- They did offer us a place - to stay on the ward overnight.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- It's easier to go and come back.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- I know it's very hard for them...

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- ..especially as they live - the other side of Anglesey.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- They have to travel to Liverpool.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- On a day like this, - when there's a lot of traffic...

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- ..it's going to be - a very long day for him.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15- We know what time - we've put down for them.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- But by the time they get - to Liverpool...

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- ..something may have happened - that end.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- That can mean they're a bit late - getting on the machine.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28- The day becomes even longer.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Sometimes on the way home - they feel ill.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34- When you feel like that, - you just want to get home...

0:11:35 > 0:11:36- ..and to your own bed.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- You know you've got at least an hour - and a half before you get there.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42- It's very hard.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45- It's going to be a long morning.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- It's going to be a long morning.- - I'm going to fetch some breakfast.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Hospital toast. Nice.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Hospital toast. Nice.- - Nothing better. Or a nice teacake.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Will you have anything?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- He's had two eggs - and two slices of toast and a cuppa.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- There's nothing stopping you - having more!

0:12:02 > 0:12:02- .

0:12:10 > 0:12:15- A day after coming to Ward Dewi, - Osian, who has leukaemia...

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- ..is leaving to go to Alder Hey - Children's Hospital in Liverpool.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- He had a temperature spike of 38.9 - at around 2.30am.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- He was supposed to go to theatre - at Alder Hey on Thursday...

0:12:27 > 0:12:28- ..so I just let them know.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32- They want him taken over there - this morning with blue lights.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- My partner is coming now. - He'll follow us over there.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I'll go in the ambulance with him.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- You can have that in a minute - when we go.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- And Mum helps out?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47- I try.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- I don't understand a lot of it.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I keep asking Eleri - but it won't go in...

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- ..because I don't understand - a lot of it anyway.

0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Mandy's starting to understand it - but I still don't understand it.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03- I'll just go in.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06- Hello, hello.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Right, good morning. How are you?

0:13:09 > 0:13:15- Right, so we're heading for - Alder Hey. Are you OK with that?

0:13:16 > 0:13:17- Has Chris arrived?

0:13:17 > 0:13:18- Has Chris arrived?- - Not yet.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- When you get to Liverpool, - they'll do the bloods again.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25- The blood we've taken - won't count in Liverpool.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26- So they'll do it again.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- They'll do the cross match - and the full blood count.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Then they'll give him a transfusion - based on the results.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Looking at him, he needs something.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39- He needs a little pick-me-up.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- So...

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- His legs seem a bit mottled again.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Yes. He's still doing this - with his legs on the bed.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- He complains when he does that.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53- His blood pressure was a bit high - this morning - 138 over 85.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- We'll do it again just before - he leaves for Liverpool...

0:13:57 > 0:13:59- ..to make sure that everything's OK.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- We'll do saturations and all that.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- My mum was asking me about his blood - and I couldn't remember.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- White cells come down to 3.6 - instead of 6 point something.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Haemoglobin is 72 instead of 79.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- So we are actually heading down - instead of coming up.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- His platelets were 89 yesterday. - This morning, they're 80.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23- And his NEUTs have stayed at 0.3.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- We also did a marker for infection, - CRP, which was less than 5.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- This morning, it's 8. So clearly - there's something going on.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36- When they give you two hours - to get ready to go to Alder Hey...

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- ..how do you get your head around...

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- ..gathering everything - you need to go?

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- You need clothes. You have no idea - how long you'll be there.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- You have to be prepared.

0:14:48 > 0:14:54- You have to make sure that - everyone knows what's happening.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59- It just isn't enough time - to tell everyone...

0:14:59 > 0:15:03- ..and get everything ready - to go to Alder Hey.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08- It's just stressful.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- It's very hard.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- I'll see you later.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17- I'll see you later.- - Thanks, Eleri.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Dr Mair is in the special baby unit - this morning.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32- She's come to see two babies - born six weeks early.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Llyr and Begw arrived last night.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- They were born about 6.30pm - last night.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Premature twins.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46- The mother had to have a caesarean. - Llyr came out first.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- His sister followed.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Premature babies can lose heat - very quickly.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56- That's why they're in incubators - and that's why it's so warm here.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- When they're first born, - we make sure they're warm...

0:15:59 > 0:16:01- ..and that they're breathing.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- We decide if they need oxygen. - We check their sugar levels.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- We have a checklist of things.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- We start with ABC - Airway, - Breathing, Circulation.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Then we think about - warmth and sugar.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- We also have to decide whether - they can suck to get milk...

0:16:17 > 0:16:18- ..or if they need a drip.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Usually, we start them on a drip - so that they get some sugar.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Then we introduce milk - and cut down on the drip.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30- That's where we are with him. - He's on 2.5ml an hour on the drip.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- It sounds like nothing.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37- But if we stopped it - and didn't replace it with milk...

0:16:37 > 0:16:39- ..his sugar levels would drop.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- On the maternity ward, - the twins' mother Cadi...

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- ..only has photos of her babies - for now.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- This is Llyr.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56- And this is Begw.

0:17:00 > 0:17:05- I didn't see the little girl last - night when I had the caesarean.

0:17:05 > 0:17:11- She couldn't catch her breath - on her own.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- She was rushed away.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- But I saw Llyr.

0:17:20 > 0:17:25- This morning, I went there at - five o'clock. I didn't sleep at all.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- I had an hour's sleep.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I'm so excited to see them.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39- The second twin - is often not as well as the first.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- It takes longer for them to be born.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Every long birth causes - more problems for the babies.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- It's not unexpected for her to be - not quite as well as her brother.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55- But she's also started on the milk. - She vomited during the night.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- We thought that was because - she'd swallowed a lot of mucus...

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- ..during the birth.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05- She's back on the milk. She's on - antibiotics like her brother.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- They've obviously been together - for not far off nine months.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- So she's also on antibiotics.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16- We can control everything - in the incubator...

0:18:16 > 0:18:19- ..the temperature, - the humidity in the air.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21- It all makes a lot of difference.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25- They lose a lot of water - because they breathe so fast.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- So we can control the humidity - in these as well.

0:18:28 > 0:18:35- Once her temperature has settled, - we'll take her out of this.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- She can then join her brother.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- I can't believe what's happened.

0:18:42 > 0:18:48- I can't believe we've managed to - create something so perfect.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- They're just perfect.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- The ambulance has arrived - to take little Osian to Liverpool.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04- But it's hard to leave - without knowing when you'll be back.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Debs, I'm going now.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Have a safe journey.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14- It's not just Osian - we have to worry about.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19- We have the house, the animals, - my partner's job.

0:19:19 > 0:19:24- We have to let everyone know - what's going on.

0:19:24 > 0:19:29- Chris had to let them know - he wouldn't be in work.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32- We have no idea how long - we'll be in Alder Hey.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- It could be a day, - it could be a week.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- He was quite stable when he left...

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- ..but I didn't like - the mottled look of his legs.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Even though his body was warm.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56- We'll see how things go. I'll give - them a ring later. What time is it?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58- They've probably arrived.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Last week, when I did - a blue light transfer...

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- ..we were in Liverpool - in 65 minutes!

0:20:04 > 0:20:05- I've never felt so sick.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- But I was so glad to see Alder Hey. - It took about 3.5 hours to get home!

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Doesn't matter. It's all worth it.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- But for 18-year-old Cadi - from Pwllheli...

0:20:19 > 0:20:21- ..the child-raising journey - is just starting.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- After a night without - her little babies...

0:20:26 > 0:20:28- ..she's come with her father - to see them.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Don't disturb him.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35- He'll open his eyes now.

0:20:35 > 0:20:41- Oh. I can't find the words - to tell you how it feels.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42- It's unbelievable.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49- It's amazing. And one of each - is something else!

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- No more, that's what I hope.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- I'm overjoyed.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00- I'm the happiest person around - if I'm honest.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04- It's warm here.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- It's hard to believe - how life is created like this.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15- To think that they're six... - was it six weeks early?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Six weeks early.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Six weeks premature.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- What they can do in these places - these days is unbelievable.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Fair play to them.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30- They take care of everything.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Is it a little bit sore?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39- I think it's just the dressing.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43- OK. It's nice and dry - so we'll leave it as it is.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44- Osian has come home...

0:21:45 > 0:21:48- ..after receiving treatment - for leukaemia at Alder Hey.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- At the moment, the little boy - from Caernarfon...

0:21:52 > 0:21:53- ..seems to be winning the battle.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00- I'm looking forward to the future - when these next two years are over.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- At the moment, he's on maintenance - because he's in remission.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- I'm looking forward - for that to end...

0:22:07 > 0:22:11- ..so that he can do - what children are supposed to do.

0:22:11 > 0:22:17- Play around, go out and not have to - worry about getting ill...

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- ..and spending days in hospital.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Osian is now in remission.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29- He's a typical boy - who's nearly two years old!

0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Terrible twos - on top of everything else.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- But it feels as though - we've had our little boy back.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- It's a godsend really.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41- High five.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44- Yay!

0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Daniel has had a stem cell - transplant at Alder Hey Hospital.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57- He's about to start radiotherapy - treatment at Clatterbridge.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Tulla hasn't had another fit - since leaving hospital.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Osian is still in remission.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11- The twins are getting on well - in Pwllheli.
