Ieuan's First Visit To Ty Hafan
We were approached by Ieuan’s Consultant to see if we would like to go and visit Ty Hafan as they would not be able to give the care like Ty Hafan could, we were devastated and did not really want to know.
We eventually agreed to the visit and it took us an hour to recharge our batteries after entering this building.
We had a guided tour and yes, it all seemed very relaxing, but not the place for us or our special boy, but we agreed to go and stay for a week.
Monday afternoon came and the journey down in the ambulance we could not believe where we were going, it was like we were having a bad dream, but from the moment we arrived Kelly and Shirley were waiting for us, we took Ieuan into his room and it was like being in Disneyland, they had made his room so very special, exactly how he would have liked it and from then on we never looked back. Everything was possible at Ty Hafan, there was never any negative comments, the nurses, the care team, the family support, administration department, housekeepers, gardeners, fund raisers, voluntary workers, play staff, relaxation therapist, cooks, cleaners, maintenance, the fantastic building, gardens, wildlife, sea air, the chapel and everything and everyone involved with Ty Hafan made our most precious last two months and two days with our beautiful Ieuan possible.
We met some of lifes very special people on this journey and would not have, if it had not been for our special boy. Kelly, Ieuans link carer looked after Ieuan as if she had known him all his life, and he and we loved her, the pink, dancing and singing, glitz and glamour and the special care she gave Ieuan was unbelievable, he has left behind this wonderful dedicated young person to go on and look after more very special children.
Nicky, Ieuans link nurse was also so very special for the care and support she gave to Ieuan and us, always trying to make us smile. The day Ieuan flew away Nicky and all the nursing staff were so professional, but still made it feel like home at this very sad time. We are so glad that we overcome our fears and allowed our special boy to spend his last months at Ty Hafan a magical place, and even though Ieuan did not manage to get to Disneyland America in April of this year this was the next best thing. We thank you all.
Shirley our family support had some very difficult obstacles to handle for us, but yet again was there every step of the way, and helped eased these ordeals, which at times were very difficult when you knew what we had to face.
There are no words to describe the loss and the way we feel but there are living angels and they live at Ty Hafan, they are the dedicated team who looked after us and our most darling, precious, beautiful boy Ieuan.
Your are now all part of our lives, and we will remember you forever.

The Charities Who Supported Ieuan
This page shows links to the Charities that helped Ieuan and his family through his life, and we will be forever indebted to these wonderful causes.
Ty Hafan, this was the Hospice where Ieuan spent the last 2 months and 2 days of his life. There are a lot more children who attend this Hospice not just for end of life care but for respite and they need as much help with fund raising to keep this wonderful place going.
Latch, this is the charity linked with Sky Ward, Childrens Hospital in Wales, Cardiff, where all Ieuans treatment and care was given, this was once at Llandough Hospital, but moved to Sky Ward in recent years. They arranged special trips and holidays and travelling expenses on trips to London Hospital Visits. Once again this charity requires as much help as possible to continue the help to other families in the same position as we were.
Great Ormond Street and Kings College Hospital. These hospitals do a fantastic job in looking after our sick children and also need as much funding as possible.
HCPT. This charity took Ieuan three times to Lourdes in France. To experience not just the spiritual side of this wonderful peaceful place, but the fun side as well. They take a group of children some disabled, disadvantaged and some who have just had a hard time for some reason or another, every Easter time and it costs around £550 per child and there are around 10 children in each party. Once again this is all funded by charity, they also require lots of charity funding.
Christian Lewis Trust. This Charity organises holidays for sick children with life threatening illnesses, it is worth looking on their site as they also need as much charity funding as possible.
We would like to thank you for taking the time to visit the website, if there is anyway you can help with fund raising please contact us, because there is a lot of sick children that require these charities.

"Ieuan you were taken on angel's wings
Three years ago today
As you sweetly and quietly slept
And returned to heaven before I knew
That you had even left
My heart is heavy and sorrowed
That my time with you was so brief
For you were my gift of heaven's light
That is now replaced with grief
But not so much that I won't be grateful
For every second you were here
You filled my heart with so much joy
Treasured memories I will hold forever Ieuan
And though I was not blessed to see you grow up
I was blessed to see you smile!
And hold you lovingly in my arms
Love you Ieuan The Lion
Dad X ..."
