    I adore Ollie's "curious face" he makes when you ask him a question. And Peter was hilarious testing out the hotel bed! Between Peter bellyflopping and Ollie digging to China, I'm guessing the Freys are a little rough on hotel rooms 😂

  • @debradonley3825

    I love road trips, especially with someone who loves and 'gets' you. So much fun! I loved Peter and Ollie both doing the bed test.

      @margorossing5556 7 років тому

      Corrinmessina perhaps she didn't say the name of the bridge in her comment as to not give away where Mary and Peter were going or to protect their privacy as i'm sure many did not know the bridge.

    I love your attitude! "I had an allergic reaction to this med, but I'm glad at least it didn't mess with my breathing and I didn't get a fever" you're always looking for the positive in everything, when you have everything to complain about. Y'all are amazing. Keep it up!

    Here's a good laugh for you! When I was15, I went on my first date, with a 19 year old boy. He had told me that he was taking me out to dinner at a restaurant called The Golden Arches. I thought that sounded like a fancy restaurant, so I got all dressed up. When he turned into McDonalds & I saw the golden arches sign, I realized my mistake & we both had a good laugh!

    • @Suki7stars
      @Suki7stars 7 років тому +3

      It fizzled out after about 6 months, like most high school relationships. I was only 15, and really didn't have too much in common with a 19 year old! But as to the golden arches thing, when he asked me, he assumed that I knew it was mcdonalds. I had just never heard it referred to as the golden arches.

    • @jaytee2642
      @jaytee2642 7 років тому

      Funny about not knowing it called The Golden Arches.
      The first time somebody asked me if there was a Micky Dee's nearby, I didn't know what they were talking about either. LOL

    Very pleased to see you look so well, especially compared to yesterday. With the exception of seeing you in an immediate post op setting, yesterday's vlog is the worst I have seen you look physically. As well as that you were understandably, so out of character which worried me most. You could barely even fake a believable smile. I felt so sorry for you. Delighted in today's change, although I know you will of course still be sore. Mary, you are amazing. Pleased you have such good men in Peter and Ollie to help you through. Hugs

  • @madison8568

    So a few tricks for traveling with a feeding tube. The first is calculate exactly how many bags and formula (container, cans, or powder) you need and add an extra 1-2 says worth of feeding supplies on just in case (you never know if your formula will overheat or go bad or a bag willMalfunction. Always bring syringes for meds and flushes or clogs and extra gauze, extensions, and tubes. When you set up a new feeding bag keep it all in the backpack at all times including the charger, you never know when you will need to get up and go somewhere and it is way easier to just put the charger in the backpacks and go rather then having to take it off tne poll situate it in the back and grab the charger. I have done this from day one since I cam home with a feedinf tube, the lady who educated me told me it will make my life so much easier because I never have to go through the hassle of packing the back more then once a day. You may need a bigger backpack so everrything will fit but also keep exta gauze, extensions, syriges, and tape in there for any emergencey you may have. I think you should also ask to get bigger 1000 ml bags so you can fill up more at once especially for overnight feeds. Also remener to bring ice packs and a cooler for formula if you are in a warm environment or will be outside with your feeding backpack for a long time

    Consider keeping a written checklist with all of your necessary travel supplies! I do that with my diabetic supplies, and check that before heading out the door so I'm sure I didn't miss anything. I know I could probably do it in my head, but keeps me from worrying about missing something important (like extra batteries for my insulin pump). :)

    I totally understand why people would be worried about y'all travelling after surgery, but I say let Mary live! She knows her limits better than we do, and she wouldn't do anything to cause more harm to herself. She's said in the past how hard she works to make sure she does everything she can to avoid ever having to look back and say "what if I had done this" or "what if I hadn't done that" so clearly she wouldn't do anything she didn't feel safe doing. I hope this trip is so fun and fulfilling for you guys and I can't wait to hear where you went and what you do!

    SOOOOOOO excited for this trip for you guys!!!!! I think for a sick person, it's so amazing and exciting to be able to kind of break out of the jail that is hospital or home and go far, far away! I have a trip coming up that I'm SOOOO excited about, but definitely is a lot to consider when you have a chronic illness. I've had to plan so, so much extra and I'm going to have to pack extra, too. One thing I'm very appreciative of is how airports are disability friendly, with many airlines offering complementary wheelchair service! Anyway, I'm thinking you guys are in MD visiting your new baby nephew who'll be here any day! So exciting! Maybe... you guys said you're only staying for a day, though... hmmm... Tomorrow we'll find out the mystery!

I once left my feeding tube out too long (well I sat around for half an hour before decided probably best going in) and ended up having to have to go back under anaesthetic and have it replaced so learnt my lesson and now carry one round of me if it comes out I replace it myself straightaway job done....so definitely recommend carrying a spare! hope ur both ok x

      @pianiannie4224 7 років тому +3

      That is what I was thinking when they arrive at their destination! I guess it would depend if the hospital carried a charger for that specific device. It's the weekend so it might be difficult to find a medical supply store open. For the expense, it might not be a bad idea to have an extra charger & even a spare battery just to keep in the car. I feel like we are taking this trip with them! lol

    50 bucks she was taking Reglan. My daughter had to take Reglan. She had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis and developed illeus.

Which by the way I was just diagnosed with the same thing as her last month. My stomach takes over 2 hours to empty only 1/2 of what i have eaten.

    If you get a chance you can probably pick up a 9v or 12 volt charger for your pump at any Best Buy or if you still have Radio Shack's they would definitely have one. Just call your Dr. or the place where you got the pump and they can tell you what to get. These after market chargers are relatively inexpensive. Good Luck! Can't wait to see your destination! Safe Travels!

    At 16 I was given a medication Compazine to stop vomiting with a kidney stone. Six days on it and my neck turned to one side, my mouth opened wide and I couldn't close it. The ER gave a shot that immediately stopped the reaction, but I've been told by several doctors it wasn't an allergic reaction but a side effect. Super scary, but thank God I'm 48 now and have never had any other reactions or bad side effects to any other meds.

    • @wolfsrule100
      @wolfsrule100 7 років тому

      Yesica1993 it's actually a pretty short tube going from the stoma just inside the stomach (Mines 2.5 centimeters total) held in place by a 'balloon' or bubble full of water. Over time that balloon leaks making the button get loose. If it all comes out unknowingly (like in my case) the button can fall out as nothing is holding it in anymore.

    Sorry that you have gastroparesis on top of everything else. I've been battling that my whole life I just didn't find out until about four years ago I have had two surgeries and multiple procedures to help with it because it because it was so bad I finally ended up having to have gastric bypass which is a treatment for it which has helped but that has lead to other complications. I was on medication for it but the side effects and the potential side effects were just too severe and I stopped taking it so I totally understand how you felt on that that medication. I also battle with trying to keep my weight up. I hope this works you.

    My dog can stay in the car a long time with air conditioner on and he will dig whenever he is on the bed or outside in the mood for digging. he knows when not to dig but when he wants to and is in the mood he will just go for it
