    Everyone is different- would YOU want to try helping your friend with medical stuff? Or would you rather not? I suppose this comes down to the question of... are you a medical nerd or some other kind of nerd 🙂 ??

    I first found your videos a few years ago when my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrom and POTS were first starting to really become a problem for me. I didn't have any diagnoses yet, but I knew something was very wrong with me and was feeling pretty scared. I had been watching different videos about chronic illness related topics trying to not feel alone, and one of your videos popped up. I've been a daily watcher ever sense. I also wanted to tell you that you have helped me so much in a way that I was not expecting. I had struggled with faith my entire life. I just couldn't connect and really didn't have a relationship with God. Watching your videos for years and seeing the joy of Christ shine through you every day is one of the biggest things that lead me to my now wonderful relationship with God and coming to know and love his Son. Thank you so, so much for sharing your lives with us. You have changed my life in the best way.

    Hey Mary and Peter. I thought I`d tell you how I found your videos and why I’ve stuck around! I think I found them around 18 months ago when searching for something about feeding tubes. I have a medically complex daughter but no involvement with CF and really didn’t know much about it. You have educated me so much about CF but also about living positively with a chronic and life limiting health condition. I love the bond you both share and of course, Ollie. You ou help me to cope with my daughters medical struggles so thank you. We are in Glasgow, Scotland x

    Yay!!! I would love to see a teacher video! While I've never had a student with CF I started watching because I'm a special education teacher and was learning more about a variety of disorders and it lead me to you... And I think I have faithfully seen ever video in the past year and a half if not two years!!! Bravo to helping educators understand!!

  • @Jesusfreak5071
    @Jesusfreak5071 4 роки тому

    I’m a Special Education teacher in a public school. I don’t have any students with CF currently but I had a student who had a feeding tube last year and I learned a LOT about feeding tube care from you and Jacquie at Chronically Jacquie (that’s actually how I found your UA-cam channel!). But I was so much more comfortable with the aspect of what to do if something was going wrong and even helped a few times when that students nurse was absent and there was a sub!

And next thing you know, I started binge watching all your videos and in turn learned so much about CF and what we can do to support CF patients. I love your channel because it's so educational. Great work Frey Team!

    Another awesome video idea Mary would be important Info for nurses that aren’t specialised respiratory nurses. Ie. sometimes there is no room for CF patients on the respiratory/CF ward, so sometimes they have to go to another ward until a room comes available on their usual ward. I think it would be really helpful!!!

    I was not a teacher with a child with CF, but a Sunday School teacher watching children reacting to my cancer, and other kids with diseases. And as a child, I had a friend in my church with CF. Because I was friends with her, and was in Sunday School and Awana (a church girl/boy scout type of group) every week, I knew how to react to her CF coughing fits. However, I also remember watching the reaction of the kids who were not active members, or were visitors, bet scared. And a few times even ask that God help the girl who was coughing, so her cough would go away. One time, one even said "please help the girl with the cough, not die". I am sure this was very scary for them. And knowing that you went to church as a child, you may have had to deal with this too. So, do you have any suggestions of how to handle this, for the Sunday School teachers, and leaders of other children's activities?

  • @aliciagraceofficial

    What about a music teacher? I have a degree in vocal performance and used to teach voice. In voice you breathe from your diaphragm but it still takes a lot of lung breathing too. I know that you sing (and are a beautiful singer!) is there anything I would need to know to help someone else with CF learn to sing??

    Mary it would probably be very educational if your mother could tell us how she raised two children with CF. There are probably some new parents with CF children who are overwhelmed and might need to hear from someone who has a lot of experience in this matter. Just a thought.

As we grow we strive to be able to reach as many children as possible no matter their abilities. Do you have any suggestions on how we can better equip ourselves to be provide the same opportunity for CF kids? It has not come up yet but it would be wonderful to be able to say we are capable of providing what may be needed for a week at summer camp or a field trip type visit.

Good job with the Dexcom sensor Hannah , I think Ollie has a crush on you !! Mary I think you should do a video about CF , we could always have more info. Like this new med !! , most know it is not a cure , but how long can a CF patient take it ?? Anyway , all knowledge is good knowledge , take care folks and have a great evening , Gary 

    Peter, as a thinker, you shouldn't have had to rearrange the furniture, you should have thought, fireplace, marvelous, it should be the center of attention and you would have not had to rearrange the furniture. (teasing 😜😜😜)
    I think, having worked in the school system for over 30 years, teachers can learn how to physically care for the CF child, particularly if there is a school nurse. I don't have CF but I do have asthma and as a child, it was pretty bad and I could be fine one minute and having an asthma attack another minute. I hated it because, like any other child, I didn't want to be different. So 1st would be how to make the CF child feel included in the classroom setting, helping the teacher to help the fellow students so that they know what to do to help a CF child. Did that make sense? I think it's a lot about building "community" within the classroom so that the CF child feels apart of the classroom and not feel like an outsider and that the other children kinda know what they can do to help a CF child.
    I don't know if this is a reality for a CF child as much as it is for an asthmatic child but in one instance, a child began having an asthma attack on the playground and no one, least of all the teacher on duty, knew what to do to help the child. Part of the problem, I'm sure, was that when the child began having trouble breathing, she began to panic (I know how panicky it can be to struggle to breathe) and the panic probably worsened the situation. I learned as I got older that the best thing to do was to slow my breathing and work at taking deeper breaths which of course is hard to do through what feels like pin holes because your bronchial tubes are closing up. Had someone been trained in what to do, the best thing a teacher could have done until the nurse got there was to keep the child calm and breathing in a controlled way. I did that with a student. I realized he was wheezing and although he wasn't too awfully bad, it can go south pretty quickly so I calmly walked him to the nurse's office, told her what I had observed and she, of course, pulled out her stethoscope and yup, I wasn't hearing things. But the whole thing revolved around keeping him calm so he didn't panic which would have made his breathing worsen much quicker. The nurse gave him a breathing treatment and he was good to go. A lot of teachers need to be aware of stuff like that so they know what is best to do with a child.
