-When a night shift ends,

-the early birds get to work.

-This is Dewi children's ward.

-The youngsters need

-the nurses' care to get better.

-Enlli came in last night.

-She had a bad asthma attack.

-They're trying

-to get the oxygen up...

-..to get rid of the wheeze

-in her chest.

-We're waiting to see a doctor.

-We'll find out what he'll

-prescribe after the oxygen finishes.

-The children on Minffordd Ward...

-..are having their

-tonsils and adenoids removed.

-Cerys Ponsonby is one of them.

-I understand Cerys is here

-to take out her tonsils.

-She has at least six attacks

-of tonsillitis every year.

-And to prevent sleep apnoea.

-We will check the adenoids. If they

-are enlarged we will take them out.

-Hopefully she will be able

-to mend at home tonight.

-Great.

-She is the first on the list. We

-will be calling for her very soon.

-See you later.

-See you later.

-

-Thanks.

-Ta-ra.

-There you are.

-In Cubicle Two, there are two

-where once there was one.

-Tomos...

-..and Dylan.

-The twins were almost

-three months premature.

-When he was eleven days old...

-..his stomach turned green.

-It was swollen.

-We have photos of it.

-We knew it was his bowels.

-They discovered a perforation

-of the small intestine.

-He was rushed to Alder Hey

-at five in the morning.

-They opened him here

-and removed the small intestine.

-They cut out 18 inches

-and stitched it back together.

-He was taking his feed a week later.

-That was his first operation

-in Alder Hey.

-Then it was Tomos's turn.

-He had an operation on his head.

-The condition is hydrocephalus.

-Water collects on the brain

-and can't drain.

-They made a pocket here

-to drain the fluid.

-A pipe went through the brain

-to bring the fluid to the top.

-He's too small

-to have a subgaleal shunt.

-MACHINE BLEEPS

-In the second week of February...

-..he went back to Alder Hey...

-..for a VP shunt, a full shunt.

-There's a small lump...

-..on the back of his head.

-It's a valve.

-You can just about see...

-..the pipe that runs

-over his breastbone...

-..back into the abdomen...

-..to carry fluid from the brain.

-He can't do it for himself.

-It's a condition

-that comes with prematurity.

-It drains fluid

-back to the abdomen.

-He'll have it forever.

-Before he was born...

-..could you discuss

-medical issues so knowledgably?

-No! I didn't understand a thing.

-Let's take the dummy out.

-They farm in Penygraigwen

-near Llanerchymedd.

-They have three daughters too.

-When I left home for nine weeks...

-..the eldest was ten years old.

-She was very upset.

-She understood how ill they were.

-It upset her.

-The middle one, Betsan,

-coped quite well.

-Her teacher spoiled her.

-She was very good with Betsan.

-She was cross at times.

-The youngest was cross all the time.

-She was two and missed her mother.

-They're fine now.

-They've helped me

-so much with the boys.

-Now we're back and forth

-to hospital...

-..the youngest is still cross.

-They're very good, on the whole.

-They're sensible girls.

-Do you sometimes wish you'd never

-have to come back to hospital?

-I'd be thrilled never

-to have to come again!

-But I'm so grateful

-to the hospitals.

-They're fantastic with us.

-The nurses and doctors know them.

-It's good to know

-that we can be open with them...

-..and they are open with us.

-Are you going to smile?

-We don't want the camera on us.

-I need a haircut first,

-not that I have a lot of hair!

-Nain is styling Enlli's

-Rapunzel-like hair.

-I'm trying to do a French plait,

-as I do for my pony.

-I don't know if it'll work.

-We'll try our best.

-There are three sections.

-They join up.

-She has asthma.

-A chesty cough aggravates it.

-It's better to come in...

-..to make sure she

-has the best possible care.

-She'll be coming home tomorrow.

-What was it like in the ambulance?

-Fun. I've never been

-in an ambulance before.

-Dad cried.

-I can't move without the mask.

-They change it all the time.

-Are you ready?

-It's time for Cerys

-to get out of bed...

-..to have her tonsils and adenoids

-taken out.

-Jangl is guarding a little girl

-who was sent here by her GP.

-Casi Gwawr from Rachub

-has a bad tummy.

-What's the matter with Casi Gwawr?

-What's the matter with Casi Gwawr?

-

-I have a bad tummy.

-Since when?

-Where does it hurt?

-Where is it?

-In the middle.

-What happened, Mam?

-Casi has been throwing up

-and she has a bad tummy.

-It also happened a fortnight ago.

-It's come back.

-The doctor wanted her

-to come to hospital...

-..to make sure nothing

-is going on in her stomach.

-They thought it was her appendix.

-Now they think it's gastroenteritis.

-Will you be here for the night?

-I don't know.

-It depends

-if she starts to eat and drink.

-We have a busy time ahead of us.

-You have to get better.

-We're going to Lapland

-in three weeks.

-Casi has to get better.

-Yes!

-After an hour in theatre,

-Cerys is back.

-She is a little weak after having

-her tonsils and adenoids removed.

-Sleep is the best medicine.

-The Penygraigwen twins

-have visitors...

-..Megan, Betsan and Erin.

-Are you going to say hello to him?

-You've come to see Tomos and Dylan.

-He likes to play...

-..and to have attention.

-He smiles at everything.

-I help him with a bottle...

-..and change his nappy.

-Are you OK?

-The grandparents do their share.

-There are two sets of grandparents.

-We all muck in.

-We're fortunate

-that the family has been so good.

-How has the past 12 months been?

-Hard work.

-It's great

-to see them coming along.

-They're having

-the best possible care.

-Mari and Dewi are fantastic.

-I feel like crying.

-Look.

-It's a new morning on Dewi Ward.

-The night birds go home.

-The early birds get down to work.

-Will Enlli be staying or going?

-I've been in since Monday night.

-It has got better every night.

-I had a better night's sleep

-last night than the night before.

-I think I'll have an asthma pump

-instead of the mask.

-It might be asthma,

-a chest infection or a bit of both.

-She's a little better. She's having

-inhalers, not nebulisers.

-They've been stretched

-to every four hours.

-We hope she can go home later on.

-I'm off the masks.

-I don't have to use them so much.

-My oxygen is 91 or 92 without.

-To go home, it has to be 95.

-We'd like her to sleep here

-for a while without needing oxygen.

-She needed oxygen

-up to this morning.

-We expect them to be able to sleep

-without depending on oxygen.

-She'll try to nap this afternoon

-to show she's better.

-First in Minffordd Ward today

-is Chloe Harwood from Holyhead.

-She's having treatment to her hand.

-Have you had EMLA cream before?

-No.

-We put it on the back of your hand.

-It's a local anaesthetic.

-When we make you sleep,

-we put a small needle there.

-With the EMLA cream,

-you won't feel anything.

-She fell months ago.

-We don't know what it is, really.

-She had MRI scans and the like

-to find out what's going on.

-I think she's having a steroid

-injection, for the bone.

-The surgeon will look at it

-when she's asleep.

-She can't have anyone touching it.

-It's a bit of investigation today.

-For how long will she be here?

-I forgot to ask.

-It's hard to tell.

-She's going for an exploration.

-We always say about an hour.

-We always say about an hour.

-

-Right.

-OK, Chloe?

-Dragons, dogs, and country boys.

-Don't wake them up, whatever you do.

-CRIES

-How did last night go?

-How did last night go?

-

-Alright.

-He has so much mucus,

-he has trouble breathing...

-..and taking his bottle, especially.

-They gave him a feeding

-tube last night.

-He had his drink every two hours

-without being disturbed.

-Everything is wet inside.

-He needs suction sometimes

-to help him breathe.

-If they can clear the airways,

-the oxygen goes in better.

-The figures look

-a little better now.

-You're better now.

-You won't be keen on me for a bit!

-But you'll feel better.

-Have a cwtch with Mam.

-I won't bother him any more.

-Can I play there?

-This way!

-Next to arrive

-is Aeron Roberts from Llangefni.

-It's nice here. You can play.

-Good morning. Are you alright?

-I'm Carys, one of the nurses

-looking after you.

-Are you OK?

-Are you Aeron?

-You've worn one of these before.

-Have you been here before?

-This tells everyone who you are.

-You know where it goes!

-Yes!

-Did you have to get up early today?

-Yes.

-Oh, dear. Me too.

-So he hasn't eaten or had a drink?

-So he hasn't eaten or had a drink?

-

-No.

-When did he last eat?

-When did he last eat?

-

-About seven last night.

-OK.

-We'll cut the tail off this.

-We don't want it to be long.

-Why?

-It will be a nuisance.

-You don't need it.

-I had a long one last time.

-Did you?

-Yes. It was so long.

-Maybe the nurse forgot her scissors.

-Do you remember what EMLA cream is?

-I've had that.

-Yes, you had it before.

-Do you remember the magic cream?

-Where have your hands gone now?

-They're hiding.

-Unsurprisingly, five year old

-Morgan Jones Hughes...

-..is a bit afraid

-of unfamiliar nurses and doctors.

-But Dr Chris is an old hand.

-Do you like Frozen?

-Look.

-It's a special spray.

-It's very special. Feel it.

-It isn't cold.

-I'll spray a bit on me.

-Ready?

-Oh!

-Is it cold?

-Elsa uses it in Frozen.

-I came in at ten thirty

-because he has sleep apnoea.

-He's having tests for it.

-He's waiting to have

-his tonsils and adenoids removed.

-So we'll see how it goes.

-This is cold.

-Ugh, it's cold.

-Look at Mam.

-You can have a sticker afterwards.

-You can have a sticker afterwards.

-

-Do you want a sticker?

-We've finished.

-We've finished.

-

-Well done!

-Ta-ta!

-Dr Chris's magic worked on Morgan.

-Look at me. Don't be afraid.

-But Dafydd John Parry from Llanrug

-needs much more magic.

-Do you want a cold spray?

-No? Are you going to be brave?

-Take that out of your mouth, please.

-Are you going to be brave for Mam?

-We'll get you a present later

-if you're a big boy.

-I've met you before...

-..when you were in hospital.

-I remember I took a blood sample

-and you were a good boy.

-You really were.

-We'll only do it once today...

-..if you're good and nice and still.

-I don't like it!

-I know, it's horrible.

-We'll do it nice and gently.

-It won't hurt.

-Stay nice and still.

-Hold your arm straight.

-CRIES

-CRIES

-

-I know.

-After the first one,

-you won't feel anything.

-Just stay still,

-then it will all be over.

-Then you can have a toy.

-Mam will spoil you.

-It's a good deal.

-Stay still, remember.

-If the doctor fails because you're

-wriggling, we have to do it again.

-Better do it the first time.

-One good go!

-Well done.

-Don't look.

-No!

-No!

-

-We'll tell you when it's coming.

-CRIES

-No needle!

-She's had the operation.

-I have to go to see her

-in Recovery now.

-She couldn't write

-in school or anything.

-I hope everything will be alright...

-..and she'll be happier

-and not in pain.

-That's what I want

-more than anything.

-The kind doctor has succeeded again.

-Dafydd is happy...

-Dafydd should have an orange one.

-..on the whole.

-I don't like orange.

-I don't like orange.

-

-Would you like the yellow one?

-Where do you want it?

-You're a good boy!

-Chloe is back.

-Time will tell if the operation

-on her hand was successful.

-Take your time.

-From one bed to the other.

-Wriggle across, love.

-I'll take the handover

-from the theatre nurse.

-I haven't seen the doctor yet.

-Someone in theatre said...

-..everything looked alright,

-as far as they could see.

-We'll have to see

-if the injection worked.

-If not, she has

-to come back to the clinic.

-She might need more operations

-to see what's going on.

-After three days in hospital,

-Enlli goes home with her family.

-It's a Volumatic pump.

-What does that mean?

-I have to take it.

-Have you started?

-Have you started?

-

-Yes.

-How does it feel?

-I'm happy now.

-Good luck.

-Good luck.

-Thanks.

-Ta-ta.

-Thanks. Bye.

-Little Casi will have
