I found people, people I have known for years, shy away from me when I first received my diagnosis. That was hard to understand. You have literally thousands and thousands of people who, although you haven’t met, treat you and care about you as if you were their own. Keep making the vids and we’ll keep watching. Be strong buddy.
I found the same when I was diagnosed. But I also found out who are the ones who will be with you thru thick n thin, the people who you can really count on. Always thankful for that.❤
L.P.XPLRfan God bless you . I hope you are doing well . Hugs to you and hope you can feel the sunshine on a good day . Hugs and love from East Tennessee !
Dearest Mark, I know you know that everything you have lost will one sweet day be fully restored. A million times over. It is written and it is true. Unimaginable joy and happiness after this battle. I've never known such a Warrior. So far beyond teaching us about "Fixing Things", everyday you are giving us a true lesson in courage and faith. Please feel the love all around you. It's so real. Vent and cry too. We are here to listen and catch every single precious tear. ❤
So incredibly and beautifully written. Amen 🙏 Mark you are the strongest warrior I have ever known. Praying for the entire Carriker Clan. SO Much love and constant prayers coming your way
You were and will still be a great dad and inspirstion to your kids Mark when you can no longer be there! These videos are a testament to that! RIP Mark ❤
Thank you for sharing. where most people would be in bed when sick like this you are up, caring for your son, and doing your level best to keep it together. It shows your resolve, and character. So brave the way you handle your shit as they say! There aren’t many like you brother. I’m sorry that you have to endure this disease into unfamiliar territory, that must feel both terrifying & surreal! I pray with intent so that you may if not his else feel better,...a solution would be better needless to say. You are a better man than I,...wow.!
Oh Mark, I can't imagine but I've had a lot of my patients over the last 30 years that had cancer and so seeing what they went through I do have idea of what your going through. I know you have Hospice so talk to them about the pain and what you should take. It's getting worse I can tell by your facial expressions. Hospice nurses are there to help. I know your not wanting to be drugged up so you can enjoy your family. Tell them! There are plenty of drugs that can help, but you need to not wait until your in horrible, horrible pain. Take as directed and let it build up to a thearaputic level that will help. If it shows to not work, tell your nurses that it isn't controlling the pain. I'm saying prayers for pain control and for you and family. I know your wanting quality time with them. God help him during this transition and let him and his family have loving quality time. Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you just stick to a few hours apart, like 4 hrs , no less because your trying to build the level up to give relief. If that strength starts to not work, then ask then maybe for a little higher dose or a combination. I know he dosen't want to be asleep all the time. Ok, something else. Mark are you on oral medication? If so, see if they can switch to topical ointment and im talking narcotic not just over the counter. It's called a compound drug. This really helped patient's that had oral or stomach cancers. Actually, it really just helps. Ok, now here is an idea if you don't have any pharmacies that do compound meds. You can get patches. They have pretty much any pain relief med in a patch, but some people have skin irritation from them. Don't hesitate to bring all this up to your nurses, hospice nurses. They should come out any time you need them! If it's 2 am, we are there! And don't hesitate to ask me anything!!
@@ournewnormalnow8432 Thank you for the compliment!♥️ I just retired about 4 months ago and really miss seeing and helping patients. I've been a nurse for 30 years and loved every day of it! I was a candy striper at 16. Have you ever heard of them? I don't think their around anymore. We have "the pink ladies" now. They usually wear a pink jacket, and they are typically at hospitals! That's my next chapter is volunteering as a pink lady.♥️😉
I’m trapped watching you memorialize your life and amazed but also feeling something heavy as I’m reminded how fleeting life is. ❤️I will always watch with fondness in my heart and thinking of your whole family always.
Me too Micalah! I replied to you on his previous video. So amazed to find him dressed and up in spite of all the pain and drugs. How does he do that? I was thinking he was in bed with his children and family around talking and entertaining him. Boy was I wrong. Remarkable.
I read this comment, and I feel the same way. I have thought and thought about you since I found your channel. I am not religious but found myself praying for you and your family. I can not reconcile in my brain why this would happen to anyone. I am not naïveté to think other haven’t gone through this before you to some extent or another. But I question why we have to let our fellow humans suffer so much. If we can go to the moon maybe even mars soon, why can’t we fix the problems that occur here to. There is someone out there I know in my heart than “cure” cancers. It’s just mind blowing that people like him are suffering all over from this. My thoughts and prayers are for you. I am proud that you are as strong as you are. I can say I would be.
Thank you for sharing as we all love you and your family and we are all praying for you. We know that things will go downhill from here but we want you to know that we are here for that. Not just the good. You don’t have to be strong all the time. You are a total inspiration and we are with you until the end. 💔💔❤️❤️❤️
Mark it’s good to see you this morning! I look for your videos each day-you are an amazing dad, husband and person. I was praying for you already this morning as I do each day. Please know how much we all love you and we are here for you--all your family on UA-cam. Prayers and strength....🙏❤️🙏
Oh Mark I’m so sorry you are suffering. I so hoped your pain meds would be strong enough to keep you comfortable. Maybe they could add a Fentanyl patch to your pain management. They are good for 72 hours, then you replace the patch. It’s a slow release of the meds into your body so you won’t feel the ‘high’ effect like your other meds but it really works on heavy duty pain, is a great addition to what you are already taking, won’t make you unable function, and you will be getting steady pain meds through out the night so when you wake your pain won’t be so bad. Love you sweetie. God bless you, your beautiful wife and children.
That’s what I was going to suggest, might be time to start some OxyContin or a fentanyl patch to help with night pain. As a nurse it’s hard to see your pain management not quite comfortable yet. I’m sure your hospice nurse is doing her best. Hospice is a great program. You and your family are in my thoughts daily.
There are also Fentanyl lozenges. They are on a stick like a little sucker. They are great for that extra hit of pain management over and above the patches.
You are a drug addict if you are on fentanyl patches. Unless you are shot with a flame thrower every day you don't need to be on fentanyl. Crazy how many patients I see that are addicted to opiate narcotics and are in complete denial because a doctor gave it to them... this man is in hospice, terminally ill, and is taking hydrocodone, that, if anything, should show YOU, how bad your addiction is. Hydrocodone is really nothing in the world of opiate narcotics, the only thing less than that would be Tramadol. If he can manage his massive tumor growing into his mouth with open sores on hydrocodone, you do not need to take fentanyl for your "back pain" or whatever made up condition you think you have or lie about (probably fibromyalgia if I had to guess, the most hilarious of all "pain" conditions because there is no way to prove that a patient is lying). You are not a physician, please do not "recommend" narcotics to people. In fact, you are the opposite, you are a drug addict and abuser who needs help.
My heart is breaking for you and your family. I never knew cancer would do this and I am glad you showed us. I am thankful that you believe in a higher power. I am quite certain that the Good Lord will greet you with open arms and your pain will be gone. Bless you !
Mark, every time you are able to say hello homies we are greatly blessed. I went back yesterday to listen to some of your songs and was reminded again how incredibly talented and unselfish you are. My prayers continue for your comfort and peace and your dear wife, children and entire family’s strength. 🙏🏼❤️👍🏼 This a very special old hymn that I love. In the Garden 1. I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear falling on my ear the Son of God discloses. Refrain: And he walks with me, and he talks with me, and he tells me I am his own; and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known. 2. He speaks, and the sound of his voice, is so sweet the birds hush their singing, and the melody that he gave to me” within my heart is ringing. (Refrain) 3. I’d stay in the garden with him though the night around me be falling, but he bids me go; thru the voice of woe his voice to me is calling. (Refrain)
Mine & my Mothers favourite. This beautiful Hymn has sustained me for many years through extreme trauma & loss. When I sing it, I can see God sitting with me in the most beautiful Garden. I pray that Mark is able to see God in all His Glory and that he has peace without pain.
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and you just broke my heart. I've actually, just today, realized who you are. Ive been watching VetRanch and OfftheRanch for a long time and when I realized you guys are brothers, my God, it just crushed me. We pray for you and your family every day. Keep fighting, love, and remember that you have made a beautiful mark on this world. So much love and hope from Calhoun, Ga.❤🧡💚
Melissa, I'm a French cop living in Paris, so needless to say I'm physically quite far from Boerne, TX but I've been watching Matt's channels for years, and Mark's for quite a while too. We're dozens of thousands here being inspired by Mark's courage and strength. We're like a huge family, too big for us all to know each other, but the most important is we're here for Mark and his family. The Carrikers are all great people with huge hearts. You should check their dad's channel called "Out on the Ranch (with Dr. Lee)". He tells great stories about their family, about the old times. I also pray for Mark and his family. Sending you Mark, and you Melissa, as well as all the Homemade Everything channel viewers tons of love from France. God bless ya'll. Peace !
It may sound weird but I've watched enough offtheranch videos to kind of think his brother has an eye condition. They are very dark and always glazed over. Reminds me of glaucoma or something else.
@@reykennedy5716 I wouldn't worry about Matt's health: he's taking real good care of himself. And as he say's, he's a vet, so he's a doctor... ish ! :D
@@valp22 Yep, sure is. And the channel "Out on the Ranch (with Dr. Lee)" is their father. Also, their younger brother is "OperatorDrewski". The whole family's got UA-cam channels ! :)
You don’t know me but I’ve watched your videos since your bro Matt told us you were ill.I never thought it possible to care so much for someone I’ve never met but boy does my heart hurt for you and jaci and the kids. You have been so strong , you are the most inspiring man, so sweet ,so funny yet so determined. Thinking of you daily. You’re an inspiration to all of us. Stay strong Mark. ❤️
Bart Sexton Bless his soul , he’s just awesome. It’s not right to see young folk have to go through this, Mark is way too young to be suffering like this. You look at the smiles on the babies faces and it’s heartbreaking knowing what they will have to cope with. I can’t stop thinking about them. Is it crazy to feel so much for people you’ve never met ?
@@jillmartin269 No, it is not crazy to care for and love real people whether or not you've met them. As opposed to the way people get so involved with television characters that they'll threaten suicide if something happens to one of them.
You're the epitome of courageous. Genuinely, quietly brave. Getting on as best you can, no mention of your own courage, and doing what needs to be done. You truly are a lovely, lovely man.
Thank you for reminding the group. I couldn't find the link above to the Go Fund Me for Mark and his family. Another way to locate it is google 'Homemade Everything' and it comes up so I could make another donation.
I've been wanting to do this however in my current situation where kinda homeless it's hard to explain, anyway I'll try my best to give something. Right now I'm praying for him and his Family.
i know one day you won’t be here but i come back to watch the videos and to remember your time here on earth and all that you have done. bless you and your family
Sending huge love from the UK chap, make tons and tons of videos for your kids, and a special one for each birthday up until they are 21. There was someone in the UK that did it for their son, on tapes, one to be played for each birthday, graduation etc... such an amazing gift for the children. Just a thought, keep strong buddy.
Thank you for updating us "homies"! I keep thinking about how much your kids are going to appreciate all these videos as they grow up. They will come to understand what a courageous & loving dad you are!!🙏❤
Medication is crucial at this stage of your journey.....I just stumbled upon your channel and your personal story.....My prayers are with you and your family!!! ❤️
I just found your channel last week and I’m so glad I did. You are absolutely amazing in your faith and courage, I can’t watch you without crying. I don’t know if you realize the profound effect that your videos have, brother you touch hearts. God bless you ❤️🙏🏻
I check on you everyday, pray for you every day, and ask our Saviour to place a healing hand 🤚 on you to ease your pain. Our hearts are heavy with sadness knowing the pain you are experiencing. God Bless
Just stumbled onto your channel, holy shit. You've got to be the most strong willed person I've ever met. How you're not falling apart rn blows me away.
Just came across all these vids 6 days after his passing, and my god. This man is going to change lives. I needed to hear everything he said. Much love to all of y’all
Jeff Hansen well said! I got addicted to his videos when I discovered his videos by chance a few months ago. There was something special and especially inspirational about him.
You're one of the bravest people on this planet. You keep going through it all. You are amazing. It breaks my heart that you're going through this but at the same time I know that you're always going to do your best. Keep on keeping on. Prayers, love and light for you and your family.
Mark I'm praying for you to have pain relief. Glad you got to make breakfast for kids. They will remember you. Thank you for coming on even for a couple of minutes. Rest my friend.
I wish I could take this all away for you. You are being so brave sharing the reality of what cancer can do in real time. I'm sending you the biggest hugs xx
I've followed many cancer journeys on YT, but none with the detail you give. Thank you for being so open and honest. It has taught me a lot and most definitely given me even more compassion for what others are going through. You are an amazingly strong willed man. If you read this, I'm curious how this has been financially for your family, in the US? Much love to you! ❤️
Accidentally discovered Mark’s channel a few days ago. He really seems like a remarkable guy. I’ve just donated to his gofundme page. I just wish I could do more. Jon (London, UK)
You win the prize for the best Dad in the world! I appreciate every second of video you post and want to convey to you as much love and support as possible through these few words. Take whatever you can to ease your pain. You deserve it.
I think of you and your family daily. ((heartfelt huggz)) I know it's coming, but I'm in tears thinking of the time when you will no longer be here/there for them. Making memories is all we can do, and you WILL be remembered, Mark! I live by the quote "One day, you’ll just be a memory to some people. Do your best to be a good one." You have touched so many people, and I'm sure there are very happy memories your family will cherish. Thank you for keeping in touch with us all.
You are a strong man ! Even though you’re in so much pain you take care of your precious kids to help your wife . We are sending you love and prayers 💕🙏🏼
Thank you for shairing your journey. You have almost 80,000 people who care about you and your family. I (we) are so sorry for your pain and hope it is minimal until the end. You, Jackie and the kids have family to lean on, both now and after. Keep doing whatever you can to be as comfortable and functional with your family as you can for as long as possible. Your kids will definately remember that effort. You are and amazing father and person Mark.
Just wondering if something like a surgical mask with a longer loop on one side which could hook over your ear might be helpful. Your courage is impressive.
Jocelyn Wade That seems like it would be more comfortable than the tape pulling on Mark’s face but he said it’s oozing so I wonder if he could put gauze in it somehow so he wouldn’t get what is leaking out all over him.
😢💕💕💕 It hurts me to see you suffering but you have got to be one of the strongest, determined people I’ve ever seen. I hope you felt better as the day went on.
All the love Mark...all the love. I hope and trust you have amazing hospice carers who can match your strength and resolve and beautiful spirit. I'm so amazed by you. And praying for a miracle.
Hang in there and take what you need when you need it and I so wish the Doctors and care team are taking the best care of you physically and mentally to make you comfortable- thinking of you all everyday
Mark, I started watching your brothers videos “ Vet Ranch” and then your father’s channel. That is how got to know you. I am sitting here crying for you. Bless you and your family. You are an amazing wonderful man.
You have an inner strenght to be very proud of. You have allowed friends and family to continue to watch these times and remember you forever in time with love. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
So glad to see you... you are such a wonderful and strong man. We all stand with you and your family. Much love and prayers to you all ❤️💙

ANTHONY burton you are so right. Mark is such a beautiful soul❤️ Bless.
Somehow hitting the “like” button feels so wrong, but I want to show my support. ❤️
I agree ,I only like not liking it ?
Its harder now.. I do it but i hate to : (
I found people, people I have known for years, shy away from me when I first received my diagnosis. That was hard to understand. You have literally thousands and thousands of people who, although you haven’t met, treat you and care about you as if you were their own. Keep making the vids and we’ll keep watching. Be strong buddy.
Hope you’re doing okay too
The ones that stayed are your true friends.
You don’t need people like that in your life. That doesn’t make it easier but it’s true. I hope you’re doing okay♥️ praying for you!!
I found the same when I was diagnosed. But I also found out who are the ones who will be with you thru thick n thin, the people who you can really count on. Always thankful for that.❤

ATLHooligan You have no idea what pain someone else is in. Fentanyl patches are a legitimate treatment for pain.
YES! What @Dee Marie Dubois suggested! Fentanyl patch is appropriate now, Mark! My heart is very heavy for all of you!
The STRENGTH this man has needs to be scientifically researched.
I believe he had an enormous faith in God!

It may sound weird but I've watched enough offtheranch videos to kind of think his brother has an eye condition. They are very dark and always glazed over. Reminds me of glaucoma or something else.
Melissa Buttram Wow!! I never realized off the Ranch was his brother???!!!
@@reykennedy5716 I wouldn't worry about Matt's health: he's taking real good care of himself. And as he say's, he's a vet, so he's a doctor... ish ! :D
@@valp22 Yep, sure is. And the channel "Out on the Ranch (with Dr. Lee)" is their father. Also, their younger brother is "OperatorDrewski". The whole family's got UA-cam channels ! :)
You don’t know me but I’ve watched your videos since your bro Matt told us you were ill.I never thought it possible to care so much for someone I’ve never met but boy does my heart hurt for you and jaci and the kids. You have been so strong , you are the most inspiring man, so sweet ,so funny yet so determined. Thinking of you daily. You’re an inspiration to all of us. Stay strong Mark. ❤️
Jill Martin I feel the same way Mark is like a Brother I have never meet. I pray ever day mostly twice a day for him to be healed .
Bart Sexton Bless his soul , he’s just awesome. It’s not right to see young folk have to go through this, Mark is way too young to be suffering like this. You look at the smiles on the babies faces and it’s heartbreaking knowing what they will have to cope with. I can’t stop thinking about them. Is it crazy to feel so much for people you’ve never met ?
@@jillmartin269 No, it is not crazy to care for and love real people whether or not you've met them. As opposed to the way people get so involved with television characters that they'll threaten suicide if something happens to one of them.
Your strength and faith is unbelievable. Blessings brother
Much love to you and your family Mark. We are all here to support you all. ❤️💙
You're the epitome of courageous. Genuinely, quietly brave. Getting on as best you can, no mention of your own courage, and doing what needs to be done.
You truly are a lovely, lovely man.
thoughts and prayers are nice but lets get his gofundme to its Goal. Link is in the description above.
Been there, done that. ;)
Thanks for mentioning it again. All of his new subscribers may not know about it. 😘💔🇺🇸
Thank you for reminding the group. I couldn't find the link above to the Go Fund Me for Mark and his family. Another way to locate it is google 'Homemade Everything' and it comes up so I could make another donation.
I've been wanting to do this however in my current situation where kinda homeless it's hard to explain, anyway I'll try my best to give something. Right now I'm praying for him and his Family.
sandy what do you mean kind of homeless? You in your car?
My heart goes out to you, Mark. Your strength and courage is commendable. Stay strong, brother ❤️
Not only are you here, you are vertical! You are amazing. I love you Mark.
For people who don’t know the pain and sickness you are dealing with, you’re lucky,
This man is unbelievably strong and I am a true admirer of him!!!
i know one day you won’t be here but i come back to watch the videos and to remember your time here on earth and all that you have done. bless you and your family
Mark is making a huge difference in the world. He can rest in it, nest in it, fully be blessed in it!
he might survive and outlive you
@@minecrafterselite1 Isn't that the truth!? Anyone could be gone in any minute...it always pays to remember that and to live life accordingly.
@@minecrafterselite1The truth rightly spoken. Any one of us could go at any time. We need to remember to live like it.
Mark, you're someone I've never actually met but I think about you every day. Always a joy to see you.
Sending huge love from the UK chap, make tons and tons of videos for your kids, and a special one for each birthday up until they are 21. There was someone in the UK that did it for their son, on tapes, one to be played for each birthday, graduation etc... such an amazing gift for the children. Just a thought, keep strong buddy.
Your will to live, your determination to not let this keep you down is legendary Mark. You truly are an inspiration.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. We have never met, but you are the bravest person I know.
Gloria Hanaway Definitely!! The Bravest!!
Thank you for updating us "homies"! I keep thinking about how much your kids are going to appreciate all these videos as they grow up. They will come to understand what a courageous & loving dad you are!!🙏❤
Medication is crucial at this stage of your journey.....I just stumbled upon your channel and your personal story.....My prayers are with you and your family!!! ❤️
So sorry you’re going through this shit. 😞You have a beautiful family and you are a beautiful man. Sending positive thoughts your way
just trying to hold you up in prayer, man. it's unbelievable how strong you are dealing with this.
I just found your channel last week and I’m so glad I did. You are absolutely amazing in your faith and courage, I can’t watch you without crying. I don’t know if you realize the profound effect that your videos have, brother you touch hearts. God bless you ❤️🙏🏻
Your strength amazes me.
I check on you everyday, pray for you every day, and ask our Saviour to place a healing hand 🤚 on you to ease your pain. Our hearts are heavy with sadness knowing the pain you are experiencing. God Bless
Love you Mark, I'm sure your kids are happy to see you in the morning. Try to embrace these Precious times, remember that you are Loved by so many 💖
Just stumbled onto your channel, holy shit. You've got to be the most strong willed person I've ever met. How you're not falling apart rn blows me away.
TraceCakesMakeUp Because he has faith in Jesus.
@@mnight207 Whether Jesus exists or not, faith in something greater is critical for most people. Fading to black is so much less appealing.
St Hr Do Jesus know you?
@@mnight207 Amen
Good morning, go glad to hear from you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you sweet man.
I worry when you dont post so thank you for coming on even for a short while. You are a wonderful brave man and we love you.
Just came across all these vids 6 days after his passing, and my god. This man is going to change lives. I needed to hear everything he said. Much love to all of y’all
Jeff Hansen well said! I got addicted to his videos when I discovered his videos by chance a few months ago.
There was something special and especially inspirational about him.
Poor thing...my heart breaks for you!!
So sorry brother, my heart breaks for you man. Your In my thoughts and prayers man!
Mark, you are my hero and I pray for you and your beautiful family every day sending lots of love from Oklahoma.
You're one of the bravest people on this planet. You keep going through it all. You are amazing. It breaks my heart that you're going through this but at the same time I know that you're always going to do your best. Keep on keeping on. Prayers, love and light for you and your family.
Mark I'm praying for you to have pain relief. Glad you got to make breakfast for kids. They will remember you. Thank you for coming on even for a couple of minutes. Rest my friend.
I appreciate your sharing. Your kids will watch this years from now and understand how strong you are. Wishing you nothing but peace!
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Prayers.
You are an amazing man. Pushing through the bad and at least updating us, I’m happy when I see you post. As always in my thoughts and prayers.
You are just so bloody amazing. Words fail me tbh... your strength, your focus on everyday life despite your pain astounds me xxx
You are the strongest man ! When your children watch these videos when they are old enough to really understand they will be as strong as you. ♥️
Good to see you MARK. Much love and respect ✌️ Out
I spy a 5.0 fox body
@@mcarriker5 it is a very fun car.
I wish i lived close to you i would bring it over and let you borrow it for a while. Much love and respect for you and your family.

Thoughts and prayers, Mark. Just want to hug you, your wife and kids. Nothing but love for you, bro!
I wish I could take this all away for you. You are being so brave sharing the reality of what cancer can do in real time. I'm sending you the biggest hugs xx
I've followed many cancer journeys on YT, but none with the detail you give. Thank you for being so open and honest. It has taught me a lot and most definitely given me even more compassion for what others are going through. You are an amazingly strong willed man. If you read this, I'm curious how this has been financially for your family, in the US? Much love to you! ❤️
I wish I could do something for you, anything to ease your suffering. I watched this happen with my father. Thank you for just being you.
The strength of your spirit is coming through loud and clear, brother, on the good days and the bad.
I’m so sorry you are going through this.
Your strength and faith is simply amazing. Hugs & prayers for you & your family. ❤🙏
You are so strong. My heart hurts to see you in pain. Sending you much ❤️ and peace.
Accidentally discovered Mark’s channel a few days ago. He really seems like a remarkable guy. I’ve just donated to his gofundme page. I just wish I could do more.
Jon (London, UK)
Again thank you for sharing. Praying for you and your family.
You win the prize for the best Dad in the world! I appreciate every second of video you post and want to convey to you as much love and support as possible through these few words. Take whatever you can to ease your pain. You deserve it.
I think of you and your family daily. ((heartfelt huggz)) I know it's coming, but I'm in tears thinking of the time when you will no longer be here/there for them. Making memories is all we can do, and you WILL be remembered, Mark! I live by the quote "One day, you’ll just be a memory to some people. Do your best to be a good one." You have touched so many people, and I'm sure there are very happy memories your family will cherish. Thank you for keeping in touch with us all.
You are a strong man ! Even though you’re in so much pain you take care of your precious kids to help your wife . We are sending you love and prayers 💕🙏🏼
Hang in there Mark, take what you need to! Love and prayers always enjoy hearing from you!
You and your family are in my daily prayers. Plus some extra times during the day. May God bless you!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for shairing your journey. You have almost 80,000 people who care about you and your family. I (we) are so sorry for your pain and hope it is minimal until the end. You, Jackie and the kids have family to lean on, both now and after. Keep doing whatever you can to be as comfortable and functional with your family as you can for as long as possible. Your kids will definately remember that effort. You are and amazing father and person Mark.
Just wondering if something like a surgical mask with a longer loop on one side which could hook over your ear might be helpful. Your courage is impressive.
Jocelyn Wade That seems like it would be more comfortable than the tape pulling on Mark’s face but he said it’s oozing so I wonder if he could put gauze in it somehow so he wouldn’t get what is leaking out all over him.
This is going to be out there. But what about a sanitary napkin the he could stick to some ace bandage.
@@rosawilliams9145 It would have to be unscented.
@bad eugene cops. There are unscented ones.
Your courage and strength humbles me. I am so sorry for your pain.
😢💕💕💕 It hurts me to see you suffering but you have got to be one of the strongest, determined people I’ve ever seen. I hope you felt better as the day went on.
Thank you for sharing! Continued thoughts...and prayers coming your way!
I am praying for you since this has started God Bless you and the family🙏🙏❤❤
All the love Mark...all the love. I hope and trust you have amazing hospice carers who can match your strength and resolve and beautiful spirit. I'm so amazed by you. And praying for a miracle.
Hang in there and take what you need when you need it and I so wish the Doctors and care team are taking the best care of you physically and mentally to make you comfortable- thinking of you all everyday
We are here for you through the good the bad and the ugly! Keep kickin ass dude! Sending lots of prayers, healing energy and love.💕💕💕💕💕
Don't give up! Praying for you! God Bless!
Hang in there Mark, loads of positive vibes coming your way! ❤️❤️❤️
We’re with you, Mark. *Hugs*
Mark, I started watching your brothers videos “ Vet Ranch” and then your father’s channel. That is how got to know you. I am sitting here crying for you. Bless you and your family. You are an amazing wonderful man.
No matter how bad you feel, surgical tape still seems to hurt more when it's pulling your skin off! Keep fighting the good fight sir!!
Todd Co. and hairs ouch ouch ouch
Mark - you are a warrior. I am in tears for you and your family. You are so strong and an inspiration to everyone. Sending love and prayers
God bless you, Mark! Praying for you!
So so sad I almost don't watch for the same reason I have to watch my memories of going through all this with my mom. God Bless all 4 of you
I'm so sorry you are in pain! Still praying and always will! Rest! 🌹🌈
You have an inner strenght to be very proud of. You have allowed friends and family to continue to watch these times and remember you forever in time with love. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
