-The sun sets once more

-over Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-But the doors of Dewi Ward,

-the children's ward, never close.

-There will be no rest

-while there are sick children here.

-This is Caio. He's six.

-He was crying and screaming after

-school because his stomach ached.

-We've been to the doctor.

-The doctor thought maybe

-his appendix was playing up.

-We weren't sure. He had

-a temperature and dehydration.

-He's quieter now.

-One of Dewi Ward's regular

-visitors is in a room on his own.

-This is Riley.

-He has been coming back and forth

-with a rash on his face.

-The rash has spread

-to his tummy and back.

-They still think it's because he had

-his face painted for Halloween.

-He also has a temperature.

-He has started

-on antibiotics because of that.

-He has two problems now,

-the temperature and the rash.

-He is on antibiotics

-for the temperature.

-We're carrying on

-with cream for the rash.

-The skin specialist

-is going to see him too.

-We're going to look

-in your mouth. Tongue out.

-Does he have measles? They

-can't be too careful with Riley.

-I don't think it is measles.

-He's an oncology patient.

-He has cancer.

-If they have a temperature

-of 38 at home...

-..they have to come to hospital,

-in case it's serious.

-When they have chemo...

-..the white cell count goes down.

-It's a precaution

-more than anything.

-He doesn't have spots in his mouth.

-But that doesn't mean

-he hasn't got measles.

-Let's look behind your ears.

-His ears are so sore, bless him.

-They are.

-It's just the distribution.

-It's quite concerning really.

-Until the doctors find out

-what caused the spots...

-..Riley has to stay on his own,

-in case the spots are infectious.

-He isn't the only one

-who has to be kept apart.

-This is Alfie.

-He came here last night.

-He was poorly at home with a high

-temperature and couldn't drink.

-As a result,

-he hadn't had a pee all day.

-Last night, he had

-a big rash round his mouth...

-..and on his hands and feet.

-They're classic symptoms

-of hand, foot and mouth.

-It's highly contagious.

-At this age,

-it spreads very quickly.

-Raise your right leg.

-Good.

-Straight.

-Dr Shabaz Khan is considering

-what to do with Caio.

-I'm not very convinced.

-Many of the signs for appendix,

-they're not there.

-But we can't be 100% sure...

-..since he had

-a temperature and everything.

-It's best to keep him in for now.

-They're going to do blood tests

-to see if it's the appendix...

-..and check on the pain

-again in the morning.

-Before going back to his bed,

-Caio has to have an X-ray.

-Caio has been seen

-by the children's doctors.

-They want him to have a chest X-ray

-because he coughs a lot.

-Sometimes, colds

-can cause stomach ache.

-He's having a chest X-ray...

-..to check if anything else

-is causing his stomach aches.

-He's a bit nervous,

-but he'll be absolutely fine.

-OK, Caio? We'll take you back to bed

-soon. We'll see what's going on.

-It's a new morning.

-A new doctor has come to see Caio.

-His first language is Welsh.

-I'll translate as we go along.

-Can I loosen your trousers a bit?

-Any pain in the testicles?

-Can you ask him?

-Your goolies don't hurt, do they?

-It doesn't hurt when you pee?

-Sure?

-Sure?

-

-Yes.

-I'm going to feel your tummy a bit,

-but I won't hurt you, OK?

-He is no better or worse

-than last night.

-But something isn't right.

-Anything here?

-Anything here?

-Anything here?

-Anything down here?

-No? Nothing here?

-Anything here?

-Anything here?

-

-Ie.

-Yes or no?

-Yes or no?

-

-Yes.

-Do you do any sports?

-Do you like rugby, football?

-What do you like to do?

-Football.

-You like football?

-You like football?

-

-Yes.

-I'm going to tap your tummy

-a little bit.

-Dr Rupasinghe wants to know

-where exactly the pain is.

-Removing an appendix

-isn't a minor matter.

-They have to be sure

-that is the problem.

-You think you can jump with me?

-OK, come down.

-COUGHS

-Can you do like this?

-Any pain?

-Nothing at all?

-OK. You can sit.

-You can sit now.

-It's not very clear

-whether it's appendicitis or not.

-But my personal feeling

-is a little towards appendicitis.

-There is no one test for it.

-It's a clinical diagnosis

-unless you do a CT scan.

-I may have to ask him

-to keep fasting.

-I'll discuss it with my consultant.

-We may have to make a small cut

-and take his appendix out.

-OK.

-DOCTOR CHUCKLES

-If you want to wait for one day...

-..that's an option

-I can tell my consultant.

-Dad has arrived

-to find out what's happening.

-They might make a cut

-and take it out...

-..because there's an infection.

-I asked if we could wait or go home.

-But they weren't happy at all for

-him to go home with an infection.

-Another blood test is an option...

-..to see if the inflammatory

-markers have gone down.

-We'll see what they say.

-I want food.

-I want food.

-

-Not just now.

-We should wait.

-We should wait.

-

-I think so.

-An operation is the last resort.

-We'll see what they say.

-I want food.

-I know, love.

-This little girl is Maisy Summers.

-She has arrived in the children's

-Dewi Ward with her parents.

-What has happened?

-When I was at work Tuesday night...

-..Claire saw spots

-all over Maisy's body.

-Initially, she thought

-it was chickenpox.

-We waited to see

-if they cleared up or got worse.

-Was she ill?

-She was a bit whingey. She had

-diarrhoea and was a bit sick.

-Claire picked her up

-yesterday afternoon.

-She whinged a lot.

-She checked under Maisy's arm.

-The spots had become a blister.

-OK.

-They think it's an infection.

-She had antibiotics yesterday.

-What antibiotics?

-What antibiotics?

-

-Flucloxacillin.

-Starting yesterday?

-Starting yesterday?

-

-She's had three doses.

-Is the ear nice?

-Caio's doctors

-have made a decision.

-We're waiting to go to theatre.

-Caio is going to have the operation

-to remove his appendix.

-There's an infection somewhere.

-They want to check the appendix.

-He still has a stomach ache.

-The worst thing is he can't

-eat. All he does is ask for food.

-I think he's weak.

-He likes his food.

-It's hard to say with stomach ache.

-Children aren't good

-at saying where the pain is.

-We're just waiting

-for his turn to go to theatre.

-There has also been a decision

-about Maisy's treatment.

-They've decided to keep her in

-to give her a course of antibiotics.

-The antibiotics the doctor

-gave her weren't strong enough...

-..to go round the body

-and reach the arm.

-She's had to have a drip and this

-little thing for the antibiotics.

-They want to give her four doses

-a day until they see a difference.

-That's what we know now.

-We don't know

-how long she'll be in for.

-But she's in the best place.

-It's very sad to see her like this.

-No parent wants to see their

-child ill, suffering, or in pain.

-At the end of the day,

-she's in the best place.

-She's getting the best treatment.

-Yesterday, the doctor

-said it's an infection.

-A course of antibiotics

-should do the trick.

-We'd like to have a bit more

-information about what it is.

-It has doubled in size

-since yesterday.

-Hasn't it, baby?

-There you are.

-After a long, hungry night...

-..the trolley has arrived at last

-to take Caio to theatre.

-When he comes back,

-he won't be the same boy.

-It's miserable to be

-in a room on your own.

-Riley can entertain himself.

-He's drawing pictures

-to give to friends.

-The first is for Dr Helen Poole.

-The first is for Dr Helen Poole.

-

-Riley, is that a lion?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-Brilliant.

-I think that's a giraffe.

-Do you know what my favourite animal

-is in the whole world? A giraffe.

-Riley's friend wants to say hello.

-But he isn't allowed.

-Riley can't come down.

-He might get an infection.

-If you look all the way

-down there... Riley!

-Wave. Can you see him?

-Toby is in hospital because

-a stone is stuck in his ear.

-There's a good boy.

-Caio is back.

-But the appendix isn't.

-The treatment is going well.

-The appendix was infected.

-When he was in recovery...

-..the tubes down his throat...

-..aggravated his cough.

-He can't eat,

-so he can't have his food.

-It's almost 99.

-You're a tough guy.

-You've been so good.

-We're trying to rest.

-Sipping water helps his throat.

-Have a rest.

-Then we can go.

-I hope!

-Maisy is on a drip.

-She'll sleep here tonight, too.

-They've continued

-with the antibiotics.

-The infection has cleared.

-The skin has healed, apart from

-an infection around the edges.

-They've suggested

-perhaps it's a spider bite.

-It's shocking, really,

-especially this time of year.

-But it's been warm for so long...

-..false widow spiders

-are still going strong.

-No-one knows

-what caused the infection.

-But everyone wants her

-to get better.

-She's alright.

-What I don't like,

-and find depressing...

-..is they have

-to remove the old drip...

-..and put it somewhere else.

-That's testing.

-I have to hold my baby down,

-and hear her scream.

-But I have to let them put

-the drip in.

-It isn't nice.

-This baby is used

-to coming to Dewi Ward.

-This is Tomos Evans. He's a twin.

-Dylan, his brother, is home.

-Tomos and Dylan

-were born 11 months ago.

-They were three and a half

-months early.

-Tomos was one pound, twelve.

-Dylan was two pounds, two.

-They've gone through a lot.

-They were in hospital

-for three months.

-We've been home since the end

-of March. They've been doing great.

-This is the second time

-we've come in with Tomos.

-He had bronchiolitis.

-He's had a cold for a week.

-He needs oxygen and a little help.

-His brother was in yesterday

-with croup.

-He's home with Dad

-and his three sisters.

-Everyone helps to look after Dylan.

-Riley's rash is still puzzling

-the doctors.

-We're not sure

-what the condition is.

-He doesn't have the blisters

-that come with chickenpox.

-It could be slap cheek

-or hand, foot and mouth.

-Riley's white blood cells

-are not as they should be.

-That makes things

-more difficult for him.

-He was diagnosed with

-non-Hodgkin lymphoma B-cell...

-..in July, 2014.

-He wasn't quite five years old.

-I've seen him growing up.

-They change so quickly.

-Am I doing this right?

-Right, go on. Pull.

-Watch your head!

-When he was diagnosed,

-he had a lump on his head.

-Mum thought nothing of it,

-until he began to lose his hair.

-That's how he was diagnosed.

-He was supposed to go

-to Alder Hey today...

-..following

-non-Hodgkin lymphoma protocol.

-They treat it like leukaemia.

-He has to go to theatre, to Alder

-Hey and to me for a blood test.

-We'll have to postpone that

-for a week...

-..until there's a change

-in the blood cells.

-Then we'll take it from there.

-There's time for another drawing,

-then.

-Please can I come with you

-to give it to Toby, please?

-You can't, and do you know why?

-You might give Toby this rash.

-You don't want anyone else

-to have this rash, do you?

-But Toby isn't there. It's time

-to remove the stone from his ear.

-We'll give him one chance, OK?

-I don't like it.

-Toby, look. Listen.

-Count on this hand,

-and I will be finished.

-When you cry,

-I can't get the stone.

-Dr Mohammed El Sayed tries to remove

-the stone without anaesthetic.

-It isn't easy when

-Toby is so distressed.

-You're such a brave boy.

-You're such a brave boy.

-

-Are you going to count?

-You're such a brave boy.

-Stop!

-Stop!

-

-One minute.

-Look, stop it.

-Dad tries his best to calm him.

-But Toby has to go to theatre.

-Tomos is too poorly to complain.

-He's such a happy baby, usually.

-He smiles...

-..and looks round.

-He's flat now.

-I don't normally see him like this.

-Babies catch viruses

-this time of year.

-There's nothing they can give him.

-All they can do is support him

-with oxygen and a nebulizer...

-..to get rid of the stuff.

-My eldest daughter is ten today.

-I wasn't home this morning.

-I'll go home soon.

-Dad is coming to look after Tomos.

-I can have a birthday party

-of sorts with Megan.

-Toby is going to have

-the stone removed.

-Nurse Angharad tries

-to cheer him up.

-You've got a very important job.

-I want you to hold these notes

-for me, OK?

-Despite Nurse Angharad's

-best efforts...

-..the poor boy is still crying.

-TOBY CRIES

-INAUDIBLE

-Toby has gone. Riley has seen

-a chance to make money from art.

-Fifty pence a drawing...

-..with the profit

-going to a good cause.

-Tomos's mother leaves

-to go to the tea party.

-Dad has arrived,

-after a hard day on the farm.

-There's a lot to do.

-It affects the other children.

-We manage, somehow.

-Is there a party in your house?

-Yes, on Saturday night and today.

-I'll miss today's.

-Mari has gone home for that.

-He's fast asleep.

-He's tired.

-He fights so hard for breath.

-That takes its toll on him.

-He usually has naps...

-..and gets up to play.

-Another day and its troubles ends.

-The night nurses have arrived...

-..to make sure every child

-in the children's ward...

-..is warm and safe.

-Goodnight, children.

-Caio doesn't miss his appendix.

-He loves playing

-with his brother, Elis Arthur.

-Maisy's cellulitis cleared.

-They're keeping an eye on it.

-Toby hasn't put anything in

-his ears since being in hospital!
