Thank you to all the people who will be working tomorrow: at hospitals, police stations, firefighters, servers: you are there for all of us always! God bless you and merry Christmas whenever you get to 🎉
Cindy Graham I work at a local nursing home on rehab to home floor as a nurse. I have to work at 6am.. I am just thankful to bring comfort to those who can't be at home and the fact my kids are understanding that this is just part of medical field life. Merry Christmas to all
I was in the NICU when I was little, but was born in feb and was fortunate to go home in the summer, and I bet the moms and dads appreciate you a lot, and that my mom would too. -A 20 year old nicu grad
Merry Christmas! So glad you're home. I didn't think it was possible to care so much for people I've never met, but I do! I just want to take care of you two. All my love!
Charlie Simmons I totally feel the same way. These two are always in my prayers. I admire their strength and I take strength from them when my life seems hard.
i know, right? even when Mary is down and cries she always says its all good and its going to be fine etc... such strength! I get so frustrated sometimes I want a magic wand and take it all away for her. But she never loses her grace no matter what and Peter is so loyal, you got to admire them both
Arcia French So am I. I've just finished prepping all of the veg for the Staff Christmas Lunch I'm taking in. I hope you have a peaceful shift, filled with reminders as to why we are in the caring profession. x
What would anyone make a rude comment about? The holidays are rough for a lot of people. This Christmas is the first without my dad. But I get a lot of strength from him. I can't imagine what it's like to have an illness that puts you in the hospital for such long periods of time. God bless you both and Ollie and everyone else who has less than the ideal situation this holiday season.
zelandonia I'm sorry for your loss it sure isn't easy but I'm grateful my dad is no longer suffering. My dad passed 9/27 so it hasn't been very long. I'm spending the day with my mom she's had a tough time obviously.
There's a particular person here who comments now and then and is very, very rude, along with a comment now and then that is more clueless rude - people assuming that they need to tell Mary to eat less dairy, etc.
I'm home for Christmas but have to go back into the doc on Monday. thankful to spend these holidays with family though wherever I am. love and prayers always :)
Mary 💜 I grew non TB micobacterium when I was 12 (now 25, almost four years post transplant!) A big undertaking of treatment, I hope it goes as well as possible. Sending huge love and positive-get-well vibes all the way from a fellow cfer from New Zealand xxx
I'm so glad you're spending Christmas at home! I'm so sorry about the mycobacterium. I have CF and I've had that same bug myself, I was on IVs for four months. That's what causes the night sweats. I hope it gets better for you. Have a Merry Christmas!! Keep fighting!
Mary, you are an inspiration to all CF patients, who follow your life on YT. One day at a time. I don't have CF, but I have other ailments. I pray that you will get better.
even though your still fighting the chronic health issues, at least you get to be home for Christmas. that's so awesome. we have urban geese that cross roads in the city as well.
I know the feeling of good news/bad news. My A1c tests are better~and I've lost another 6% of my kidney function. My doctor CALLED ME to tell me I needed to be seen early next week. Scary. But at least I get to celebrate Christmas! In fact, I'm singing with the Choir at church for our Christmas program!... So... MERRY CHRISTMAS Mary and Peter and Ollie... have a blessed day and a better New Year!
THanks! The Christmas program was beautiful, and I'm SO glad I got to participate. I'm really tired, but it was worth every minute! I appreciate the prayers and support, it helps so much just to know I'm not alone, y'know?... Bless you all!
Mary - Your coming home for Christmas as your little Christmas miracle. Reading your comments reveals news that some are not able to do the same. I am thankful you went home and I pray for those that cannot. The savior is born! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas guys! I need to tell you something (I doubt you will see this) I was driving by tacky lit up houses and I saw one that had a banner with a lot of lights that said "Don't forget to laugh everyday! The Frey Life" I needed to tell you guys this.
I don't have any diseases that make my body sick, my disease is mental, but somehow watching your videos makes me feel way stronger than I usually feel. Mary, you were an important part of my year and I hope you keep inspiring me and many other people by showing us how strong and awesome you are. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your love and support! I use the same pump! Haha, and I just nearly escaped the hospital on Christmas Eve but brought some blankets to those still there. Thank you for keeping me going as I readjust to life outside the hospital.
I am so sorry to hear that you are without your dad. I remember our first Christmas after Peter's dad passed.It was sad, and hard. it feels like someone is missing. I can't say I know how you feel, but I can only imagine the seering loss and ache you must feel. Please know you are not alone.
Megan R I'm experiencing the same. My darling dad died on Easter and I miss him more than I can say but...I hope you feel your father's daily presence the way I do. They only leave this earth - they never leave us! Look for him; he's there with you! Happy Christmas!
I'm sorry that someone felt the need to lash out at you.Keep the faith. I don't haveCF and I'm normally fairly healthy. I've had a tough run of illness since 12/28/16. Your encouragement has kept me going and my spirits up. So I feel so blessed to have you in my life!
+Hisseys Vlog its so weird I had 2 widow maker heart attacks aug- Nov and had a major one Nov 21st they actually used aed on me while I was talking w them I had the quadruple bypass surgery on nov23 and I'm still recovering I go to my heart specialist Dec 27 that's when I'll find out what I can and can't do I ve been out 3xs,since I got home got tired of delivery food IE pizza so went to store and got some food etc other wise I can still feel the aed shock from x tox and have to take a pain pill to sleep but they figure it will take 8mos-yr and a half to be 100% so I'm just going w the flow and doing as I'm told plus they got me on antirejection meds that make me sleepy so I sleep at lot during the day
Brian Lamb aed while awake??? crikey hun. i have no words. well here to you being a fighter. hope you have a merry Christmas and a wonderful healthier new year
+Hisseys Vlog I had the #1 heart surgeon and he took a 3second look at me and said r having one now which of course our bandaid station of a Hosp missed so he just aed cardioverted my heart which got me to surgery 3days later where I cardiac arrested 3more xs but the good news is I'm 51and have never been sick except now so yes I'm going to have a great time watching my college fb on live stream on utube and eating some waffles w sugar all over them
Mary, you are such a positive person, I am happy you got to come home I'm time for Christmas. I was feeling down before I watched you, but you made me feel better.
I am so happy to see you are able to be home at Christmas. My daughter is in the hospital and will be over Christmas. Your strength and positive outlook help me be strong for her. Thank you for a little bit of Christmas encouragement.
I don't know how anybody could say rude things on here. You two are the most genuine, beautiful, and sweetest people on UA-cam. I am so happy that you are out of the hospital. I spent Christmas in the hospital 3 years ago. I was in very bad shape but my nurses and family got me through it. The hospital staff were so compassionate. I spent 43 days in there and I pray every night for the people in there. Get some good rest because that is hard to come by in the hospital. Merry Christmas to the Frey Life!
this is Kimberly's father, she's still on life support, she's having a rough time right now. she will be happy to find you're home for Christmas, I will be sure to tell her!
Yay! I am so glad you got to go home. All day yesterday, when this was filmed, after you posted your vlog and said that you might get to go home, I kept checking Twitter and Face Book hoping to see that you had made it. And I kept singing "I'm going home..." like you did in this video an thought of you each time, and prayed for y'all a lot of those times. God bless you both!
Merry Christmas. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have learned so much about CF from you. My daughter is a nurse and works with CF patients. So now I know a little more about her job.
So happy to see you at home where you can sleep in your own bed with Peter (and Ollie) and wake up to Christmas morning with all the promises of the new day. Also, thank you for showing your different treatments and the day-to-day vital procedures you go through to maintain your health. Bless all of you!
You made it home for Christmas! Yay. I do try to remember that not everyone does; whether they're patients, medical or emergency staff, military, etc. There are people who won't be home and families celebrating without them.
My Aunt Barbara died two years ago this Christmas after a 49 year battle with CF. I'm wrapping presents for my kids as I watch this. I feel so good watching, because it reminds me that despite her death, she fought so hard. She fought harder than anyone in the world that I know. She taught me so much and inspired such drive in me to be thankful for every breath I have, every chance and opportunity or even difficulty because I can accomplish anything. She loved despite doctor's telling my grandparents she wouldn't. She babysat me and my crazy siblings despite the risks, she worked, advocated, and participated in research studies to give back andnmake it better for generations of kids born after her. I miss her so much, especially around these times of year. I'm so glad you are going home for Christmas and I am so glad that you have potentially found some answers. I find so much strength in watching these everyday. I am so heart broken to this day after losing my aunt. She was surrounded by 19 nieces and nephews, twelve siblings living and two waiting for her arrival home (who also passed from CF in childhood). You give me such hope guys and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for sharing your journey because I feel like I get to make her memory more real selfishly for myself, but also for the public that has no darn clue. Merry Christmas, and as I sit here wrapping presents, I want you to know you are so loved by people around the world. God Bless!!!!
Its xmas today where i am (well actually its 8pm now on christmas day). Autism alone makes it a very exhausting and difficult day for me. Im so glad I could come home with my service dog and see Mary getting to go home. Honestly the highlight of my day.
I've teared up so many times these past few weeks for you. I'm so glad you're home. One day at a time, that's all anyone can ask. Merry Christmas to your little family.
so happy you got to be home for Christmas. what a great present for christmas. I appreciate all the staff that have to work during the holidays especially because some of them work 12 hr shifts and usually have to get some rest before they can celebrate with their families. thanking them for helping those who dont have a choice and must be in the hospital. yay your home hugs
Merry Christmas! So glad you went home. I hope all goes well for you. You two are a blessing to watch. The love and respect you have for eachother is beautiful. Continued prayers for you both. Ollie too!
Merry Christmas! So glad y'all are celebrating Christmas at home instead of in the hospital. Although I would be in hospital this Christmas, I would like to thank y'all for never failing to brighten up my days. Once again, Merry Christmas!
You three are amazing. I have done the hospital for Christmas two years ago and it was sad and lonely although all the wonderful people that had to work did their best to make it nice for us. You are such brave people and such a wonderful inspiration. Thank you and enjoy your holiday season!
I know it's bittersweet for you, but I am so happy you get to enjoy Christmas at home. I'm also SO happy you got to go to the candlelight service! Merry Christmas, you three. Lots of love. I hope you feel well enough to enjoy a nice Christmas~
I just finished binge watching all your videos since thanksgiving. I absolutely love how positive and upbeat you are through your whole stay in the hospital. I know that for myself I would go incredibly stir crazy being in 1 room for most of a month, and your just going through everything with one of the most positive attitudes I have ever seen. thank you for sharing your journey with us, and for both of you being a light for God's love. Have a very Merry Christmas.
I just got home today (Christmas Eve), I'm a chronic illness patient as well! I have to get my pancreas out in order for me to survive the rest of my life and at 25 that's a huge deal, but I know people go through more!! You guys encourage me everyday to be happy where I am and to see the light rather than all the darkness. I had to beg the doctors to come home but I made it happen just for Christmas with my family. I hope you, Peter, Ollie boy, and your families have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!!!
The Frey Life family will pray for the ones in the hospitals that they will come home soon. Thank God Mary got to go home for Christmas I consider that to be a gift from Our Heavenly Father.
Glad you got to go home . Enjoy your time at home with each other. I live close to a hospital that accepts helicopters. When I hear one fly over I think about what you say about them. When me 2 year old son is having a bad day, I think about those families. Thank you for what you all do.
I was in hospital last year and then an ambulance trip New Year Eve and narrowly escaped an admission this year so thankful to be home today we celebrated and it was truly amazing yet I do still have friends in I know next year I may not be so lucky so living for today so glad you got to be home a true Christmas miracle
I'm so happy for you two for getting to spend Christmas at home. Your bright spirit and cheer make me forget about my current situations every night and I thank you for that.
So happy you got to go to church with Peter...I know that was so special....and that you got to come home...So much to be thankful for and this journey has come to this point. I got my prints today and it was so special. Were expecting a grandson and have a theme going where the whale was such great timing...His first print and Im so excited...it was amazing Mary...so perfectly precious...means so much and its a God thing....Also love my blue bird and cherish that also. God bless and healing and Grace to you both.
I've been home since just before Thanksgiving but I'm still facing surgery in the coming year. But I was in for 6 months. Still waiting for either disability or to get back to work eventually. I love watching you guys and am so happy you got to come home for Christmas! Merry Christmas Frey family!! Thank you for your constant positivity and also your moments of vulnerability. It gives me and others, I'm sure, hope for the future
I am so thankful you were able to attend Peter's church service! I can only imagine how much that means to you! May God continue to bless you Mary, Peter and Ollie. Merry Christmas! ❤🎅🏼🎄
I so glad you get to go home! I just got admitted today after being observed for a day so hopefully it will be a quick admission and I can get home in a few days. Im also in a children's hospital (I'm 15) so spending Christmas in the hospital isn't too bad. Merry Christmas!
I'm so happy you made it home! When you get emotional I do too. I am disabled and almost didn't make it to my family party tonight for Christmas Eve, but somewhere in my head I thought of you and channeled your fighting spirit. I did my nebulizer treatment and inhalers, took anxiety meds and got calm enough to head out. I was uncomfortable but I MADE it!!! So thank you for ur continual positivity. It helped a random mom in upstate NY tonight and as small as that is, it was huge for me. ❤️ Merry Christmas🎄
Mary you and Peter are two of the best people i know on UA-cam. I wish you health and happiness in all of your ventures. I pray God will put his hand on you and heal this infection you have now. I'm soc happy to see you home Mary and all I want to do is give you a big hug and tell you that you will be OK but only God can do that. I will continue to pray for you both and have a very Merry Christmas! ! God Bless You both.
Merry Christmas Frey Family! What an amazing surprise to be able to go home. The look on both of your faces when you said you were able to go to Peters service - it touched my heart and made me so happy for you both. Little acts have the biggest impact. I am so grateful to have stumbled on yalls channel, and love that you choose to share your lives with us. I hope you know how much inspiration you both bring out.
I'm so glad that you're getting home for Christmas ♡ I'm sure I've said before. I'm a virologist and I have often wished that natural growth could be sped up so patients can get answers and treatment, but it can't unfortunately. I'm glad they found something new as it more than likely that which is making you feel more iky than usual. Love to you both, and of course Ollie ♡
I think it is great news guys they know exactly what is growing in your lungs. That means appropriate treatment no matter how long it takes. Enjoy being at home for Christmas! !
I was watching this with my nearly 3 year old, who happened to hear Mary sing. She wanted me to tell you, that you have a pretty voice (think she means beautiful 😉) and sound like an angel. Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
Congratulations on getting out of the hospital this time around. (maybe you just broke out). So happy you got to go to church for the candlelight. Yea your home!
Hooray! I got to come home too yesterday. (Gall bladder removed) there were many times I was jealous of your port! I'm now with my family which is the best. I miss the hospital bed, I was spoiled by the positions and assist and the weird air mattress thing. Is there anything you miss about the hospital unrelated to the medical aspects?
So nice to see you home and also to hopefully have an answer at long last to your decreasing lung function. Mary and Peter, have the nicest of Christmases at home together! xxxxxx
So happy that you are home Mary! To everyone who has to work Christmas, God bless you all. I've worked that holiday more than once. Our son spent Christmas in the hospital when he was young. Sending prayers and warm hugs your way. Merry Christmas! 🎄💞
mary and peter! i am so very happy you are home for christmas! seeing this video made me smile. i am an EMT and work in an ER and i am lucky enough this year to be off an able to be home this holiday. keep your spirit up, we are all rooting for you. all the best in the new year. xx
I'm really glad you guys finally get to be home. It's really pretty amazing how strong you are and how hard you work to keep your body as healthy as it can be, and I hope you have a really beautiful and warm Christmas.
mary I want to tell you that seeing you cling on to any positives you get really helps me. I'm desperately suicidal at the moment and seeing you with hope helps more than you can know.
You're doing great!!! Keep pressing on, and remember that you can come to Jesus for rest! "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."-Matthew 11:28-30
Praise God that you are able to come home. The two of you are just so precious and sweet. wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year. God Bless
Awww I love that you were singing Grace Vanderwaals song ❤ Glad you're home for Christmas but am praying for you sweet girl!! You are so strong Mary! You've got this 😊
Thank you to all the people who will be working tomorrow: at hospitals, police stations, firefighters, servers: you are there for all of us always!
God bless you and merry Christmas whenever you get to 🎉
Cindy Graham I work at a local nursing home on rehab to home floor as a nurse. I have to work at 6am.. I am just thankful to bring comfort to those who can't be at home and the fact my kids are understanding that this is just part of medical field life. Merry Christmas to all
Cindy Graham that will be me tomorrow night! I'm a nurse in the Neonatal ICU, and I plan on singing Silent Night to the babies alllllll night🎉
Cindy Graham thanks to the families of first responders that can't have Christmas with our love ones.
I was in the NICU when I was little, but was born in feb and was fortunate to go home in the summer, and I bet the moms and dads appreciate you a lot, and that my mom would too.
-A 20 year old nicu grad
Ashley Del Mastro God bless you and MERRY Christmas and you are an angel 😇
Merry Christmas! So glad you're home. I didn't think it was possible to care so much for people I've never met, but I do! I just want to take care of you two. All my love!
Charlie Simmons I think so too.
Charlie Simmons I feel the same way!
me too! I found that old time christmas car with the tree on a pillow wanted to send it to them.
Charlie Simmons I totally feel the same way. These two are always in my prayers. I admire their strength and I take strength from them when my life seems hard.
i know, right? even when Mary is down and cries she always says its all good and its going to be fine etc... such strength! I get so frustrated sometimes I want a magic wand and take it all away for her. But she never loses her grace no matter what and Peter is so loyal, you got to admire them both
I teared up when you said you went to candle light service. Relax and enjoy your Christmas together with Ollie. Merry Christmas ♥
I'm working at the hospital on Christmas day. It's hard on them to be there especially ones who little ones. Glad you are home.
Arcia French thank you for working on Christmas Day! 💜
Arcia French hugs to you. Thanks for caring for them on Christmas and every day.
Arcia French So am I. I've just finished prepping all of the veg for the Staff Christmas Lunch I'm taking in. I hope you have a peaceful shift, filled with reminders as to why we are in the caring profession. x

The Plant Based Life I'm sorry about your dad. This is my second Christmas without mine. Hope your day is ok.
zelandonia I'm sorry for your loss it sure isn't easy but I'm grateful my dad is no longer suffering. My dad passed 9/27 so it hasn't been very long. I'm spending the day with my mom she's had a tough time obviously.
zelandonia this is my 1st Christmas without my mom, there divorced, and doesn't talk to me or my dad's side of the familey.
The Plant Based Life most people make rude comments because they too are hurting. It's not an excuse, but an explanation.
There's a particular person here who comments now and then and is very, very rude, along with a comment now and then that is more clueless rude - people assuming that they need to tell Mary to eat less dairy, etc.
My service dog and I will be spending Christmas in the hospital. We Are just thankful for are support team. So happy you guys are home!
I'm home for Christmas but have to go back into the doc on Monday. thankful to spend these holidays with family though wherever I am. love and prayers always :)
Mary 💜 I grew non TB micobacterium when I was 12 (now 25, almost four years post transplant!) A big undertaking of treatment, I hope it goes as well as possible. Sending huge love and positive-get-well vibes all the way from a fellow cfer from New Zealand xxx
Thank you for your encouragement! Keep up the amazing work of taking great care of your new lungs! Sending you a germ free internet hug!
The Frey Life you two are an inspiration! Sending non germy internet hugs right back at you xx
I'm so glad you're spending Christmas at home! I'm so sorry about the mycobacterium. I have CF and I've had that same bug myself, I was on IVs for four months. That's what causes the night sweats. I hope it gets better for you. Have a Merry Christmas!! Keep fighting!
Hi Harmony! Thanks for your words of encouragement as we embark on our fight against mycobacterium!
Mary, you are an inspiration to all CF patients, who follow your life on YT. One day at a time. I don't have CF, but I have other ailments. I pray that you will get better.
even though your still fighting the chronic health issues, at least you get to be home for Christmas. that's so awesome. we have urban geese that cross roads in the city as well.
Those are my geese from Canada. I sent them to you to greet you on your way home from the hospital. You can send them back in the spring. Feel better!
zelandonia aww
I know the feeling of good news/bad news. My A1c tests are better~and I've lost another 6% of my kidney function. My doctor CALLED ME to tell me I needed to be seen early next week. Scary. But at least I get to celebrate Christmas! In fact, I'm singing with the Choir at church for our Christmas program!... So...
MERRY CHRISTMAS Mary and Peter and Ollie... have a blessed day and a better New Year!
I'm praying for you!! Merry Christmas, friend!! Keep persevering! In everything you walk through, Jesus is with you! You are never alone!
THanks! The Christmas program was beautiful, and I'm SO glad I got to participate. I'm really tired, but it was worth every minute! I appreciate the prayers and support, it helps so much just to know I'm not alone, y'know?... Bless you all!
My Laugh Every Day sticker just arrived in the mail today!! Yay! Thank you guys for your positive attitudes. It helps me more than you think.
Mary - Your coming home for Christmas as your little Christmas miracle. Reading your comments reveals news that some are not able to do the same. I am thankful you went home and I pray for those that cannot. The savior is born! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas guys! I need to tell you something (I doubt you will see this) I was driving by tacky lit up houses and I saw one that had a banner with a lot of lights that said "Don't forget to laugh everyday! The Frey Life"
I needed to tell you guys this.
Oh that's so cool!
LOL, you prankster! She seemed like a very nice nurse. "Get out of here..." Mary, "OK!" So happy for you Mary. Merry Christmas!!!
I don't have any diseases that make my body sick, my disease is mental, but somehow watching your videos makes me feel way stronger than I usually feel. Mary, you were an important part of my year and I hope you keep inspiring me and many other people by showing us how strong and awesome you are. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your love and support! I use the same pump! Haha, and I just nearly escaped the hospital on Christmas Eve but brought some blankets to those still there. Thank you for keeping me going as I readjust to life outside the hospital.
This Christmas is my first Christmas without my dad. It's been very hard to find joy in this season when your not with someone you love so much.
I am so sorry to hear that you are without your dad. I remember our first Christmas after Peter's dad passed.It was sad, and hard. it feels like someone is missing. I can't say I know how you feel, but I can only imagine the seering loss and ache you must feel. Please know you are not alone.

Oh my gosh the footage of you singing coming home in the car was just like one of my videos!! It feels so good
Which one???? Please send me a link Cass!
The Frey Life I'm going to Facebook message you
Aww so cute. Did anyone see the boy point at Oli, 8:55 and wave his mom to come look.
You made it home for Christmas! Yay. I do try to remember that not everyone does; whether they're patients, medical or emergency staff, military, etc. There are people who won't be home and families celebrating without them.
I'm so glad that y'all get to be home together! Praying that Mary will be feeling better quickly. Thank you for these videos; they are so uplifting.
My Aunt Barbara died two years ago this Christmas after a 49 year battle with CF. I'm wrapping presents for my kids as I watch this. I feel so good watching, because it reminds me that despite her death, she fought so hard. She fought harder than anyone in the world that I know. She taught me so much and inspired such drive in me to be thankful for every breath I have, every chance and opportunity or even difficulty because I can accomplish anything. She loved despite doctor's telling my grandparents she wouldn't. She babysat me and my crazy siblings despite the risks, she worked, advocated, and participated in research studies to give back andnmake it better for generations of kids born after her. I miss her so much, especially around these times of year. I'm so glad you are going home for Christmas and I am so glad that you have potentially found some answers. I find so much strength in watching these everyday. I am so heart broken to this day after losing my aunt. She was surrounded by 19 nieces and nephews, twelve siblings living and two waiting for her arrival home (who also passed from CF in childhood). You give me such hope guys and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for sharing your journey because I feel like I get to make her memory more real selfishly for myself, but also for the public that has no darn clue. Merry Christmas, and as I sit here wrapping presents, I want you to know you are so loved by people around the world. God Bless!!!!
Its xmas today where i am (well actually its 8pm now on christmas day). Autism alone makes it a very exhausting and difficult day for me. Im so glad I could come home with my service dog and see Mary getting to go home. Honestly the highlight of my day.
I've teared up so many times these past few weeks for you. I'm so glad you're home. One day at a time, that's all anyone can ask. Merry Christmas to your little family.
Mary, I am so grateful you were able to go home for Christmas. What a wonderful gift. God bless you and Peter.
so happy you got to be home for Christmas. what a great present for christmas. I appreciate all the staff that have to work during the holidays especially because some of them work 12 hr shifts and usually have to get some rest before they can celebrate with their families. thanking them for helping those who dont have a choice and must be in the hospital. yay your home hugs
Merry Christmas! So glad you went home. I hope all goes well for you. You two are a blessing to watch. The love and respect you have for eachother is beautiful. Continued prayers for you both. Ollie too!
Merry Christmas! So glad y'all are celebrating Christmas at home instead of in the hospital. Although I would be in hospital this Christmas, I would like to thank y'all for never failing to brighten up my days. Once again, Merry Christmas!
When I look at both of you I see true love! God bless you both.
You three are amazing. I have done the hospital for Christmas two years ago and it was sad and lonely although all the wonderful people that had to work did their best to make it nice for us. You are such brave people and such a wonderful inspiration. Thank you and enjoy your holiday season!
I know it's bittersweet for you, but I am so happy you get to enjoy Christmas at home. I'm also SO happy you got to go to the candlelight service! Merry Christmas, you three.
Lots of love. I hope you feel well enough to enjoy a nice Christmas~
I just finished binge watching all your videos since thanksgiving. I absolutely love how positive and upbeat you are through your whole stay in the hospital. I know that for myself I would go incredibly stir crazy being in 1 room for most of a month, and your just going through everything with one of the most positive attitudes I have ever seen. thank you for sharing your journey with us, and for both of you being a light for God's love. Have a very Merry Christmas.
I just got home today (Christmas Eve), I'm a chronic illness patient as well! I have to get my pancreas out in order for me to survive the rest of my life and at 25 that's a huge deal, but I know people go through more!! You guys encourage me everyday to be happy where I am and to see the light rather than all the darkness. I had to beg the doctors to come home but I made it happen just for Christmas with my family. I hope you, Peter, Ollie boy, and your families have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!!!
Did anyone else hear mary singing the song from gilmore girls 💞"when you lead i will follow"💖
The Frey Life family will pray for the ones in the hospitals that they will come home soon. Thank God Mary got to go home for Christmas I consider that to be a gift from Our Heavenly Father.
Glad you got to go home . Enjoy your time at home with each other. I live close to a hospital that accepts helicopters. When I hear one fly over I think about what you say about them. When me 2 year old son is having a bad day, I think about those families. Thank you for what you all do.
I was in hospital last year and then an ambulance trip New Year Eve and narrowly escaped an admission this year so thankful to be home today we celebrated and it was truly amazing yet I do still have friends in I know next year I may not be so lucky so living for today so glad you got to be home a true Christmas miracle
Anyone else watching this video and wrapping gifts? Love you, Peter and Mary.
I'm so glad your home for Christmas Mary! ❤️
I'm so happy for you two for getting to spend Christmas at home. Your bright spirit and cheer make me forget about my current situations every night and I thank you for that.
So happy you got to go to church with Peter...I know that was so special....and that you got to come home...So much to be thankful for and this journey has come to this point. I got my prints today and it was so special. Were expecting a grandson and have a theme going where the whale was such great timing...His first print and Im so excited...it was amazing Mary...so perfectly precious...means so much and its a God thing....Also love my blue bird and cherish that also. God bless and healing and Grace to you both.
I've been home since just before Thanksgiving but I'm still facing surgery in the coming year. But I was in for 6 months. Still waiting for either disability or to get back to work eventually. I love watching you guys and am so happy you got to come home for Christmas! Merry Christmas Frey family!! Thank you for your constant positivity and also your moments of vulnerability. It gives me and others, I'm sure, hope for the future
I am so thankful you were able to attend Peter's church service! I can only imagine how much that means to you! May God continue to bless you Mary, Peter and Ollie. Merry Christmas! ❤🎅🏼🎄
I so glad you get to go home! I just got admitted today after being observed for a day so hopefully it will be a quick admission and I can get home in a few days. Im also in a children's hospital (I'm 15) so spending Christmas in the hospital isn't too bad. Merry Christmas!
I'm so happy you made it home! When you get emotional I do too. I am disabled and almost didn't make it to my family party tonight for Christmas Eve, but somewhere in my head I thought of you and channeled your fighting spirit. I did my nebulizer treatment and inhalers, took anxiety meds and got calm enough to head out. I was uncomfortable but I MADE it!!! So thank you for ur continual positivity. It helped a random mom in upstate NY tonight and as small as that is, it was huge for me. ❤️ Merry Christmas🎄
Merry Christmas everyone! God bless you all!
Merry Christmas, Mary, Peter, and Ollie! And to everyone in the comment section!
Mary you and Peter are two of the best people i know on UA-cam.

I'm soc happy to see you home Mary and all I want to do is give you a big hug and tell you that you will be OK but only God can do that. I will continue to pray for you both and have a very Merry
Christmas! !
God Bless You both.
Happy to see that Peter and Mary are home for Christmas.
Merry Christmas Frey Family! What an amazing surprise to be able to go home. The look on both of your faces when you said you were able to go to Peters service - it touched my heart and made me so happy for you both. Little acts have the biggest impact. I am so grateful to have stumbled on yalls channel, and love that you choose to share your lives with us. I hope you know how much inspiration you both bring out.
Its great your going home for Christmas! Your going home your going home tell the world your going home!!!
I love love love how Mary goes through the hospital singing when I go to hospital I literally get so exited to leave
At last! I am so happy you are home for Christmas. Merry Christmas Mary and Peter and Ollie.
Yay congratulations your going home. I'm so happy for you Mary, Peter and Ollie
Merry Christmas! May the Good Lord send his healing love your way!
I'm so glad that you're getting home for Christmas ♡
I'm sure I've said before. I'm a virologist and I have often wished that natural growth could be sped up so patients can get answers and treatment, but it can't unfortunately. I'm glad they found something new as it more than likely that which is making you feel more iky than usual.
Love to you both, and of course Ollie ♡
Merry Christmas , glad you made it home Praying for you always !
HOPE is a beautiful word. Bless you and Peter and Ollie this Christmas.
it's even Christmas day in France ! I'm glad you made it home Mary. I've been praying for you guys lately. have a blessed Christmas.
Oh I am keeping Kimberly in my thoughts and prayer. I think that she is such a sweetheart and soo nice. I pray she gets better
I think it is great news guys they know exactly what is growing in your lungs. That means appropriate treatment no matter how long it takes. Enjoy being at home for Christmas! !
Merry Christmas! God bless your loving hearts. Here is one of my favorite sayings."Remember yesterday, look forward to tomorrow, LIVE today!
So glad your home together. Praying you have a blessed holiday and continue to experience Gods healing.
I was watching this with my nearly 3 year old, who happened to hear Mary sing. She wanted me to tell you, that you have a pretty voice (think she means beautiful 😉) and sound like an angel. Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
My mom was in the hospital with pneumonia but praise God she was able to come home Christmas Eve!
It's awesome that you are going home in time for Christmas! I was praying for you all week💗 Merry Christmas everyone!
Yay God for bringing you home Mary! You're such a beautiful, brave woman! Merry Christmas Peter, Mary , & Ollie! Big bear hugs!
Glad your going home today, will keep you in prayer. God bless you, you are a very strong person in my eyes.
Congratulations on getting out of the hospital this time around. (maybe you just broke out). So happy you got to go to church for the candlelight. Yea your home!
Hooray! I got to come home too yesterday. (Gall bladder removed) there were many times I was jealous of your port! I'm now with my family which is the best. I miss the hospital bed, I was spoiled by the positions and assist and the weird air mattress thing. Is there anything you miss about the hospital unrelated to the medical aspects?
So glad that you got to come home for Christmas. Praying that you start to feel better soon.
So nice to see you home and also to hopefully have an answer at long last to your decreasing lung function. Mary and Peter, have the nicest of Christmases at home together! xxxxxx
So happy that you are home Mary! To everyone who has to work Christmas, God bless you all. I've worked that holiday more than once. Our son spent Christmas in the hospital when he was young. Sending prayers and warm hugs your way. Merry Christmas! 🎄💞
We are so happy all three of you are home to celebrate Christmas. Prayers continue for strength. God Bless you. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Mary, Peter, and Ollie! I hope it is a great one. Sending lots of love to those who wish they could be home tonight!
Crazy to think it's been 7 years this year since this was made, The Frey Life is still goin' strong!
mary and peter! i am so very happy you are home for christmas! seeing this video made me smile. i am an EMT and work in an ER and i am lucky enough this year to be off an able to be home this holiday. keep your spirit up, we are all rooting for you. all the best in the new year. xx
I'm really glad you guys finally get to be home. It's really pretty amazing how strong you are and how hard you work to keep your body as healthy as it can be, and I hope you have a really beautiful and warm Christmas.
mary I want to tell you that seeing you cling on to any positives you get really helps me. I'm desperately suicidal at the moment and seeing you with hope helps more than you can know.
I have felt pretty awful this Christmas eve but, I'm awake, I'm alive, and my head doesn't even hurt. ;)
You're doing great!!! Keep pressing on, and remember that you can come to Jesus for rest! "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."-Matthew 11:28-30
The Mom Life Yay for you! I hope that you are doing amazing and staying positive.
Natalie H thank you all! merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I am touched by your story and your bravery. I am so glad you are home for Christmas. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Merry Christmas! I'm so glad you were able to go home! Have an amazing holiday!
3:52 good answer Mary, "OK I will get out of here!" lol :D
Sure glad you got home for Christmas. wish you felt better...but at least you are home together. rest...happy thoughts, and feel the love.
Praise God that you are able to come home. The two of you are just so precious and sweet. wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year. God Bless
