0:00:35 > 0:00:40- He was crying and screaming after - school because his stomach ached.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- We've been to the doctor.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- The doctor thought maybe - his appendix was playing up.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- We weren't sure. He had - a temperature and dehydration.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- He's quieter now.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- One of Dewi Ward's regular - visitors is in a room on his own.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- This is Riley.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- He has been coming back and forth - with a rash on his face.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- The rash has spread - to his tummy and back.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19- They still think it's because he had - his face painted for Halloween.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- He also has a temperature.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- He has started - on antibiotics because of that.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- He has two problems now, - the temperature and the rash.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- He is on antibiotics - for the temperature.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- The skin specialist - is going to see him too.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- We're going to look - in your mouth. Tongue out.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Does he have measles? They - can't be too careful with Riley.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- I don't think it is measles.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- He's an oncology patient. - He has cancer.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- If they have a temperature - of 38 at home...
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- ..they have to come to hospital, - in case it's serious.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- When they have chemo...
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- ..the white cell count goes down.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- It's a precaution - more than anything.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- He doesn't have spots in his mouth.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- But that doesn't mean - he hasn't got measles.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Let's look behind your ears.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- His ears are so sore, bless him.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- They are.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- It's just the distribution.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- It's quite concerning really.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Until the doctors find out - what caused the spots...
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- ..Riley has to stay on his own, - in case the spots are infectious.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- He isn't the only one - who has to be kept apart.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- This is Alfie. - He came here last night.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- He was poorly at home with a high - temperature and couldn't drink.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- As a result, - he hadn't had a pee all day.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Last night, he had - a big rash round his mouth...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- ..and on his hands and feet.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- They're classic symptoms - of hand, foot and mouth.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- It's highly contagious.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- At this age, - it spreads very quickly.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Raise your right leg.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38- Good.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- Straight.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Dr Shabaz Khan is considering - what to do with Caio.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47- I'm not very convinced.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Many of the signs for appendix, - they're not there.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- But we can't be 100% sure...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- ..since he had - a temperature and everything.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- It's best to keep him in for now.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- They're going to do blood tests - to see if it's the appendix...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- ..and check on the pain - again in the morning.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- Before going back to his bed, - Caio has to have an X-ray.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Caio has been seen - by the children's doctors.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- They want him to have a chest X-ray - because he coughs a lot.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Sometimes, colds - can cause stomach ache.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- He's having a chest X-ray...
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- ..to check if anything else - is causing his stomach aches.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- He's a bit nervous, - but he'll be absolutely fine.
0:04:42 > 0:04:48- OK, Caio? We'll take you back to bed - soon. We'll see what's going on.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- It's a new morning. - A new doctor has come to see Caio.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- His first language is Welsh. - I'll translate as we go along.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Can I loosen your trousers a bit?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Any pain in the testicles? - Can you ask him?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Your goolies don't hurt, do they? - It doesn't hurt when you pee?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Sure?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- Sure?- - Yes.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- I'm going to feel your tummy a bit, - but I won't hurt you, OK?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- He is no better or worse - than last night.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- But something isn't right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31- Anything here?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Anything here?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35- Anything here?
0:05:36 > 0:05:37- Anything down here?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- No? Nothing here?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- Anything here?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41- Anything here?- - Ie.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Yes or no?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Yes or no?- - Yes.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Do you do any sports?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Do you like rugby, football? - What do you like to do?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Football.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- You like football?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- You like football?- - Yes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- I'm going to tap your tummy - a little bit.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Dr Rupasinghe wants to know - where exactly the pain is.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Removing an appendix - isn't a minor matter.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- They have to be sure - that is the problem.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- You think you can jump with me? - OK, come down.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15- COUGHS
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Can you do like this?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19- Any pain?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- Nothing at all?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- OK. You can sit.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- You can sit now.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- It's not very clear - whether it's appendicitis or not.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- But my personal feeling - is a little towards appendicitis.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- There is no one test for it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- It's a clinical diagnosis - unless you do a CT scan.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- I may have to ask him - to keep fasting.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- I'll discuss it with my consultant.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- We may have to make a small cut - and take his appendix out.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- OK.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- DOCTOR CHUCKLES
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- If you want to wait for one day...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- ..that's an option - I can tell my consultant.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Dad has arrived - to find out what's happening.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- They might make a cut - and take it out...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- ..because there's an infection.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- I asked if we could wait or go home.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- But they weren't happy at all for - him to go home with an infection.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Another blood test is an option...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- ..to see if the inflammatory - markers have gone down.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- CAIO COUGHS
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- CAIO COUGHS- - We'll see what they say.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- I want food.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- I want food.- - Not just now.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37- We should wait.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- We should wait.- - I think so.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- An operation is the last resort. - We'll see what they say.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- I want food.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47- I know, love.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- This little girl is Maisy Summers.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- She has arrived in the children's - Dewi Ward with her parents.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- What has happened?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- When I was at work Tuesday night...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- ..Claire saw spots - all over Maisy's body.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Initially, she thought - it was chickenpox.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- We waited to see - if they cleared up or got worse.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25- Was she ill?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- She was a bit whingey. She had - diarrhoea and was a bit sick.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Claire picked her up - yesterday afternoon.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- She whinged a lot.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- She checked under Maisy's arm.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- The spots had become a blister.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43- OK.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- They think it's an infection. - She had antibiotics yesterday.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49- What antibiotics?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- What antibiotics?- - Flucloxacillin.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53- Starting yesterday?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Starting yesterday?- - She's had three doses.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03- Is the ear nice?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Caio's doctors - have made a decision.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- We're waiting to go to theatre.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Caio is going to have the operation - to remove his appendix.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- There's an infection somewhere.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- They want to check the appendix. - He still has a stomach ache.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- The worst thing is he can't - eat. All he does is ask for food.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- I think he's weak.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- He likes his food.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- It's hard to say with stomach ache.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Children aren't good - at saying where the pain is.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- We're just waiting - for his turn to go to theatre.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- There has also been a decision - about Maisy's treatment.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- They've decided to keep her in - to give her a course of antibiotics.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- The antibiotics the doctor - gave her weren't strong enough...
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- ..to go round the body - and reach the arm.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- She's had to have a drip and this - little thing for the antibiotics.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- They want to give her four doses - a day until they see a difference.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- That's what we know now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- We don't know - how long she'll be in for.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- But she's in the best place.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- It's very sad to see her like this.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- No parent wants to see their - child ill, suffering, or in pain.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- At the end of the day, - she's in the best place.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- She's getting the best treatment.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Yesterday, the doctor - said it's an infection.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- A course of antibiotics - should do the trick.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- We'd like to have a bit more - information about what it is.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- It has doubled in size - since yesterday.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- The treatment is going well.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- The appendix was infected.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- When he was in recovery...
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- ..the tubes down his throat...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- ..aggravated his cough.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- He can't eat, - so he can't have his food.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- It's almost 99.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- You're a tough guy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- You've been so good.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- We're trying to rest.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Sipping water helps his throat.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Have a rest.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31- The skin has healed, apart from - an infection around the edges.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- They've suggested - perhaps it's a spider bite.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- It's shocking, really, - especially this time of year.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- But it's been warm for so long...
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- ..false widow spiders - are still going strong.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- No-one knows - what caused the infection.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- But everyone wants her - to get better.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01- She's alright.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- What I don't like, - and find depressing...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- ..is they have - to remove the old drip...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- ..and put it somewhere else.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- That's testing.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- I have to hold my baby down, - and hear her scream.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- But I have to let them put - the drip in.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- We're not sure - what the condition is.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- He doesn't have the blisters - that come with chickenpox.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- It could be slap cheek - or hand, foot and mouth.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- Riley's white blood cells - are not as they should be.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- That makes things - more difficult for him.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- He was diagnosed with - non-Hodgkin lymphoma B-cell...

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- When he was diagnosed, - he had a lump on his head.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32- Mum thought nothing of it, - until he began to lose his hair.
