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 🙂 ??
The Frey Life I am a total medical nerd! I am the first to offer assistance to my nurses at work.
Of course I would. I have medical issues myself and wouldn’t mind at all.
I'm a HUGE medical nerd and love helping my bestie with all her medical needs.
I am a big medical nerd. And chronically ill and a trained doctors assistant 😅
I’m a phlebotomist! So I definitely would want to help!
I have never seen olie act that way before he is in love with a wonderful friend
You guys should make a video of Video outtakes with Oliver....could be called Oliver’s outtakes and funny moments 🤣💜
“That’s how doctors work...ya” 😂😂😂 Hannah is an absolute GEM!! ❤️
I’ve never seen Ollie be naughty before-he must really like Hannah!
2:20 i totally forgot about ollie for a second and i was thinking the noise was Peter laughing! What a strange laugh that would be 😂😅
I thought the same! 😂😂
Julia me too
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
"Oh cool! I like that after warning." 😂
The alcohol cleans the connectors on the transmitter because each new transmitter sensor has this gel stuff that makes the connection happen so you want to get the old gel off
Lol...Peter’s like “I think you should just explain” love it!
Please do the teachers for CF video! I am a second grade teacher and have a student with CF. It would be very very helpful!!!!
Megan Messer we have a second grader with cf in our class as well! He also has liver disease.
So happy to see having fun with your sweet friend. Seeing you run yesterday brought me so much joy. Ollie loves her!! Enjoy your time. Blessings to you all. 💜💜
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!!
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!
What a great story of how your friendship started.What a great friend you have in Hannah.
Mary & Hannah - Medical Nerd Twins!! Loving it... :-) PS - now that you've started rearranging furniture I feel like you're really starting to feel at home!!
I love the friendship you and Hannah share! I found your channel while learning about service dogs, a couple videos all about Ollie came up and they were so helpful! 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!
I will be graduating in May and starting teaching, I would love to have a video of more information on anything you think would be important for teachers to know! 💛
One of your daily videos was suggested to me, as I watch a lot of medical documentaries just to educate myself. That particular video was about 2 years ago, when Mary was hospitalised.
I am so happy to see Mary doing this well on the tripple combo
Love from Germany
Great idea to make a video for teachers! How wonderful that Hannah found you through your videos. It sounds like she does very important work.
Tell Hannah we love her too! And thanks for the fundraiser ride
You gals are funny. Ollie sure loves Hannah. Too cute.
Mary I love your laugh in the background when Ollie finds the treats and helps himself!!
And I think I could probably do it. I’m always curious about those kinds of things
It's really nice seeing you do so well❤
I’ve dispensed so many dexcoms but never actually seen one used. Great video 🙌🏼
I wanted to see service dogs in action and your videos popped up and I've been hooked ever since !
Mary I'm glad that you are having a good day today
Mary, you are such a mischief! Poor Hannah must have been a nervous wreck by the time she’d finished doing your Dexcom! xxxxxxxxx
I love watching this! ♥️♥️
Write a children cf book. Ollie boy could be part of it.
This is so sweet ❤❤❤
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 thought Ollies squeaky toy was Peters laugh at first haha
I think you should those videos. It van be so helpful for teachers.
Olie is so animated!
Love you and Hannah and Olivier having fun. Love California Joanna
Haha I'd definitely be like Hannah asking if I can do all the medical procedures :D
Yay!
That was a cute video. Hannah good job!
Loving the vlogs keep it up Mary and Peter
Mary, I use to bleed like crazy every time and then it also didn't work well after the bleeding. I STOPPED the skin squeeze and just put it on there and push the button and I NEVER have any blood any more!!!! Might give that a try.
Have loved watching you & Hannah create memories together! ❤️ Did Hannah's jumper have Ollie on it?!?
That's what friends are for LOL Ollie did you get your treats love and prayers
This will be a better set up for watching TV when you get your new TV table. Plus it makes it seem more homey.
Mary you could work for the company teaching people how to use the equipment. 😃👋
Wish I had a friend like Hannah. I see so many people in the chronic illness community making friends. I don't really have any friends. (pitty party 😅) keep your friends close people
I think a part you can include in ur cf video is that your cough is not considered contagious and also that you need to cough to clear out your lungs
Watching this Oct 2nd 2021 (Saturday)
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?
I would love if you made a video on how we could support children who are at school and have CF. I am in school to become an early childhood educator and would love to know was I can make children with cf feel included and maybe ways of how to explain cf to younger kids.
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??
I help my mom place her dexcom but we alternate from arm to stomach. I wonder if it’s ok for all de cons to be places on thigh. Would be so helpful
nayeli dalton I have a young ballet student with t1d and his parents told me he pretty much always has his dexcom on his inner thigh!
Joanie Whittemore amazing, thank you 🙏🏼 God bless you!
She did do it a number of months ago :)
Peter...lol he dont play when it comes to Mary and her medical treatments!!
Peter..lets just explain it!! Lol gotta love this Godly man!! Mary you have the best husband!! Many blessings to you Peter and Ollie!!!@
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.
carolyn Fortier many videos talk about that.
You guys totally have to watch your vlog with no sound using the auto generated CC !😂 It's quite interesting today 🤣👍
What have others done that you’ve found most helpful when you’re sick and what are least helpful, even if well intentioned?
Good suggestion Peter...redic...lol
I work for an organization that runs an outdoor education camp for children but we also have a fairly new school year camp for field trip learning opportunities. 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.
It was so nice to see you and Hannah working together to place the new Dexcom.
Same day vlog! Is that difficult to do?
Sad to hear about the little boy in foster care with CF. Hannah is River's mom, correct?!
Hi Guys & Hannah , Thanks for the video , I like the idea of the couch where it is , kind`a acts like a divider between the eating area and the living room. 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
I help my girlfriend all the time. She doesn’t have insulin issues but she has other issues.
Our health ins WILL NOT COVER THIS I WANT IT BUT NO , MY SUGAR GETS LOW N HOW DO I GET MY HEALTH INS TO COVER IT I HAVE PEIA N SSDI, .LET ME KNOW
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.
Hannah is one beautiful gal.
Your mom would be a good one for new mothers. She did talk some recently but give her some time to think about when you 2 little rascals were born then talk about her experiences. I love your mom I think we could be good friends and Peters mom well let’s just say I’ll go to her house for dinner anytime. Mmmm maybe they could put together a cookbook for the online store to help raise money for CF. Well can you tell I’m not feeling well so I’m in bed with time on my hands
I admire people who can do medical stuff. I couldn’t do it. I can’t stand people touching me nor do I like touching others. Besides I have a shaking disorder. Might not be safe for me to do anything medical to another.
Thumbs up #227!🦋🤗💙
#davesandersstepdaughter ✌
Oliver is all over her.
Matt still won't put on my Dexcom. He'll take the old one off for me but does NOT want to be responsible for putting it on. I get it but find it so cool how many people want to hell with yours.
O im more a watcher type!! Doing a procedure on you or anyone would scare me....caise i dnt know what i am doing!!!!
I would so do this to my bestie hehe
What type of diabetes do you have if u don’t mind sharing
Leah Marsella She doesn’t, her CF causes blood sugar issues.
Hi Mary and Peter
