Hey Mary and Peter! I recently found your channel, and you're both helping me through some times. The other day I saw a lady coughing in the bus, she kept going and going but she was all alone, I thought of you guys, and I walked up to her and asked her if she needed some back patting, she told me that she had to live with it, and so I asked her if she had cystic fibrosis. Her face sort of lit up, she was relived because I had the nerves to ask, and because I knew. Because I tried to understand. I asked her if she had a west at home, and she almost got tears in her eyes. Maybe it's not a big deal, but you helped me find the courage to step in in that situation, and I got to share a brief but very intimate moment with a stranger. Thank you! Also, you help me to be more grateful! I've always been a believer... not Christian, but I strongly believe in god. But seeing how you guys keep your heads up through such hard times, helps me understand that I have sooooo much in life to be grateful for! Not even just the roof over my head and the food on my table. No! My energy, my health, my son! Thank you! If I had to say one negative thing, and I don't HAVE to, but I hope you guys will read it at wrap your head around it even for 2 minutes. I appreciate the way you show an honest picture of your every day, and I know that there is a lot of things you don't show us. I really respect the way you talk about weight, cause it's really respectful to every age and weight group when it comes to body possitivity, even though it's not what the channel is about, BUT, could you maybe put a trigger warning when you talk about throw up? Personally I'm really sensitive about that, and I have a direct fobia of people throwing up. It's not your responsibility, but as your channel grows, more people sensitive to this, will come around. Lots of love ALLLL THE WAY from Denmark ♡
Christine Brownrigg Awesome!! I'm glad it arrived without any trouble!! The embroidery you chose will be a great reminder on rough days, too! Thanks again for your purchase & support! Blessings! ~Kelley
Kelley Hornberger I couldn't be happier. I was however hit with a UK customs charge of £30 which was a little annoying but my blanket is fabulous. Keep well kelly and stay strong Oh and don't forget to laugh everyday too x
Christine Brownrigg Ugh, I just don't understand why you guys get hit with customs charges. As a business owner, I don't know how I can help you avoid that charge. I've heard that I can't do anything. In any case, I'm so happy you love it!! 💕
Kelley Hornberger By telling a white lie on the custom sheet you fill in and saying it's less than $50 and saying it's a gift. I know that charge was crazy but hey ho it's the only way of getting one of your fabulous works than i'd so pay it again x
I watched Peter's sermon and he is just amazing at what he does. He has a true gift! Especially for a 17 year old like me, his way of explaining Christ's grace and love for us is easier for me to understand. Even though I go to church each week here in Scotland, he has helped me deeper my faith by understanding more😊 well done Peter😁😁
Mary I am a nurse and I think you have taken this whole tube feeding thing with grace and courage. You do look like you feel better and have better energy with the supplemental feedings. You and Peter are an inspiration to all couples who are dealing with health challenges. Love watching and recently subbed to Peters channel too cant wait to listen to some of his sermons.
It's great to see how well Mary is doing. Peter, that must be such a relief for you as well that she hasn't been in the hospital for a while. My motto is "live to the optimum level within your limits." I use it with others all the time. You've been doing that and we enjoy seeing you stabilized.
I am glad Mary's weight has stabilized. It really is apparent the weight loss if I click on the one or two year ago videos in the end slate. The positive attitude is why I make sure to keep up with the Frey's, I am old enough to be your Mama and like to see how both Peter and Mary work hard every day to overcome obstacles and have an awesome life despite chronic health issues for Mary. I can sometimes faintly hear Ollie saying, Really Mom? Dad? Could you get that camera out of my face as his eyes roll! He is so cute though, I look forward to seeing him.
Thank you so much for the info/update on how the feeding tube is working. 👍🏼😊 I'm still struggling to maintain weight on a liquid diet, still hoping to avoid a tube for now, but watching your journey is a huge help. Getting nutrition down is often painful and nauseating. I watch your vlogs while I try to eat (drink)--do what you think you can't do! Very glad to hear Mary's energy levels and appetite have been better lately. Sending loads of good thoughts and encouragement your way!
It makes me sad how many negative comments there were about them eating at the grocery store. they didn't take their food into Starbucks and eat it. they were at tables in front of a grocery store Starbucks. I don't understand the need for some people to nitpick stuff like that when it's completely unnecessary. Mary and Peter are wonderful caring people. I love watching your videos each day!
This is my theory about it. I would think the majority of commenters are women. How many of us wish we had a wonderfully patient, kind, attentive and loving husband like Peter Frey? I think that is the root of the nitpicking. It is just out of frustration. Mary is equally as loving and I think that is overlooked.
+matronista It's fine if that's what YOU wish, but please don't make assumptions about people who only have a different opinion than you do and are merely asking questions. Not every woman (I'm speaking for women now because you obviously assume that it's only women) who thinks some things are questionable here, are also looking for marriage (let alone, a husband), or a relationship. Not every woman you see commenting here, questioning certain things, is bitter or frustrated. On a side note, what you're doing here is no better than people/women commenting "negative" things here. Not all of it is as negative as you think it is. No one was insulting Mary or Peter, yet you do insult others with your misogynist comment.
matronista Yeah, I agree with your theory, I've thought the same thing. Both Peter and Mary are really amazing people. But I think there might be some crushing going on our there.
+matronista - Huh? How does disagreeing with them possibly taking advantage or not realizing that not everyone takes their fruit in to Starbucks and assumes they will of course wash them for free equal we're jealous of Mary (or Peter I guess)? I am so confused. Peter and Mary are great people; especially for each other - and that is what we all look for in our relationships, for sure. But that has *nothing* to do with not agreeing with an action/situation they were in.
I will never get how a woman, being one myself, can make sexist and patriarchic assumptions like the ones you did. I'm pretty sure there's a lot more for a woman to be frustrated about than just not having a loving husband. Like, think about it for a minute, you're saying what a woman needs is a "patient, kind, attentive and loving husband". I'm sure there's a lot more a woman needs and I definitely don't think it's a man by a woman's side that is going to solve all of her problems. I might get frustrated from time to time but it's not because of jealousy, it's because of people like you, I'm sorry. Also, I'm well aware that there's a chance you didn't mean the comment the way I understood it. If you didn't, you might want to consider the way you say stuff in the future.
Mary, I'm on TPN and have been on enteral feeds as well. To help avoid hypoglycemia, consider tapering your feeding when you go off. I used to drop precipitously and then tapered it off over an hour and it helped. Be cautious about cutting back too early as the weight can be extremely difficult to put back on. -I'm a registered dietitian and HPN patient:) Best to you💜
Mary, love your leggings! WalMart on line is out of stock. Your emojis remind me of " when you sow the taco, you'll reap the whirlwind!". I'm recovering from hip replacement surgery, & have been in the ER for swelling twice this week, one night they drained out 80ml of blood. I get my staples out tomorrow. I'm so glad your feeding tube is helping you! Blessings!
you should try "weaning" your feeds. in the medical world we wean TPN to prevent blood sugar drops so it might also work for your feeds. by weaning I mean halving the rate for an hour and then halving the rate again for another hour before stopping it. for example: your feed is at 60 normally, two hours before you want to stop it turn it down to 30 for an hour. then 15 for an hour then stop. obviously this might be a bit annoying but might be worth a try! hope this helps!!
Mary, we would NOOOOOTTT be bored with a 2 minute video of Ollie falling asleep! TOO cute! We might DIE, [of cute overdose] but we would NOT-T be bored!!!!!!
Just wondering, why not stay on the feeds, build up your weight a bit more so that when you are ill, you have reserve. Also wouldn't it be easier on your body to stay continuous?
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I prayed for you guys today, and I'm believing that God will answer that prayer. Ollie is the second cutest thing on Earth, just behind my dog! 😁🐶🌺❤️🌷
For the first 6-7 months my (G) feeding tube leaked a ton and I went through a lot of the reusable tubie pads, dealt with (scar) granulation tissue, and sometimes has to wear two pads at once or 3 layers of gauze. And then all of a sudden the granulation tissue disappeared and it completely stopped leaking and bleeding. About a year and a half in now and it barely ever even leaks. Also, I was getting major blood sugar drops and spikes from the feedings as well for a while until I finally worked out the schedule that worked best for me. I found that a slower constant rate was a lot better than faster stop and starts. 💜
I feed from 6pm-7am every evening/night and I also have a hard time skipping due to fighting low blood sugar as well. I usually end up having to snack and drink chocolate milk throughout the evening and just before bed. Hang in there, you are not alone.
I know she doesn't want to reveal her weight but I'd love to know how much she weighs and what she lost and gained because its hard to tell on camera how tall or short they are and how much they weigh. At my hospital they put in a feeding tube when you are under 100lbs so I'm guessing she dropped to the 90s and is now back up over 100. She still looks pretty "normal" even with the weight loss.
cjoy57 I usually weigh 85 lbs. I was 68 the day I got my tube in, as I asked for one when I got down to 75 in 6 months. Insurance kept denying it, telling me just to eat more. But I have weird stomach issues, and was already eating to the point of nausea, still not getting enough calories. I'm back up to 80 now :)
cjoy57 i feel that could've been it or her bmi could've been less that 18 because i'm 5feet & weigh 79 and was given a feeding tube (but was then taken out because i continued to lose weight and was very stressed over it!) but my doctors told me to gain 20 pounds to be considered normal for my age and height!:)
So glad to hear your weight has stabilized enough that you can take breaks from the feeding tube! That's great! But it's also great that you have it when you need it.
lets all remember the freys are normal everyday people. we all have bad days, or odd perks, cruddy moods. the point of vlogs isnt to be harassed, vlogs are watching peoples everyday life. no one is perfect, well except ollie 😂😁
Btw Mary if you find yourself leaking everyday all day then it may be that you need a bigger size mickey... I had the same size since I was 12 & I had that same issue! Sometimes it would leak & be real acid & would literally burn my skin! Turns out I needed a bigger size.. Just to know for the future. :) ♡
My 3 year old says, "Good job, they eat healfy food for strong muscles!" lol. We love the cheer you guys share. So glad you're achieving the weight you need. :)
In China there is a drinking game where you eat peanuts using chopstics. As many as you can in 60 seconds. It would make for a great UA-cam challenge ;-P Love Your positivity guys! Best wishes form Poland ;-)
Raspberries are my favorite! Y'all should do an apple taste test in the fall. You could compare the taste of the giant honeycrisp apples to the regular ones. My favorite apples are the hand picked ones from NY orchards that my grandparents used to ship to me!! Nothing else comes close to those!!
Ha!!! I've been wondering and wondering about where you get your leggings! I have tons of medical issues and I don't like shopping so now I know where I can go! Yep! It's the small things!, Thankyou!!
Does allergy season affect the intake and such!! As in keeping food down do to coughing which may or may not be an issue if you do have an increase of coughing due to allergies?
You look good, Mary, more healthy. Thanks for the leggings tip. I have one pair of Capri leggings I've been wearing almost every day. I'm totally going to Wal-Mart. Our cat takes my husband's spot on my bed a lot too, loo. He's a lot smaller then Ollie, though.
I'll be praying for your weight gain. Such an odd thing to say. I know you put on a brave front but it's impossible not to see that you do still need a lot of prayers in that department. I was hoping the feeding tube would help you more. This isn't meant to be sarcastic, I am just curious...how did you not realize suddenly not taking in calories or not taking them in for hours at a time wouldn't cause low blood sugar?
forgottenpixel We go hours at a time between meals without taking in calories. So when you're used to taking in all your calories by mouth, it makes perfect sense to think that stopping your feed for a few hours would be just the same as going 5 between eating lunch and dinner!
+Melissa I totally agree that you're correct for 'healthy' people. However, not for people who take many medications daily. Those throw your body for a huge loop and often it's not in our control (I have several chronic illnesses). I don't think it's wrong for her to want to stop her feeds say when she's sleeping. But awake? She shouldn't be doing that IMO. That's where I worry for her. That's dangerous.
forgottenpixel Mary and her team are doing their best to make an informed decision about what's right for her body, since they know her body best. I was simply explaining why she might not have thought her blood sugar would fall when taking a break from the feeding tube... because I wouldn't have thought of it either! :)
Mary sang at church? I want to hear Mary sing. Please post a video of her singing a song. The "going live / there's a mouse" part made me think of something that would be cool. If you have a second camera, and you put one in one spot, and carry the other camera, and use those shots in a vlog. Or, you could record each other while recording each other. :D Or, you could record part of the live stream, to put in the vlog. Those on the stream could say, "Hi vlog." I think those ideas would be cool for a vlog. Mary, you don't look like you have cow ears, to me.
Peter-"really?" Mary-"I'm doing that thing UA-camrs do" 😄 true. I just watched dailybumps after this video, and they were showing what they were cooking and close ups of the food. (With music) And had to laugh because I thought of what Mary said. 🙃. "This is what fruit looks like in America". Haha!
Just watched your post of Facebook Live from last night.....all the cereal talk reminds me of "The Breakfast Song" by the Newsboys! "Remember they don't serve breakfast in he**!" What's the difference between Golden Crisp and Honey Comb cereal??? Off to Google.....
This was a lesson in class and manners no matter who you are, what disease you have, you both showed inmature behavior. Then you'll use the words "I'm so grateful" God knows your both both frauds. You are not doing what Jesus would do. YOU NEVER TAKE YOUR OWN FOOD/COOKIES/DRINKS INTO A RESTURANT....IT'S BAD MANNERS AND ONLY IGNORANT PEOPLE WOULD DO.
Peter should start saying "streeeeeeeeech" when Mary does yoga
haha!

"The Girl Who Cried Mouse!" LOL
YES! Stable weight. Your tools are working and you sure seem to wield them successfully. Keep up the good fight.
Mary how is your sisters baby? You havent mentioned him lately
Ollie is so cute!! He for sure needs his own Ollie blanket though! I've added it to my list. Ya just need to choose the colors! 💕
Sometimes it looks like Peter looks he mad or the kill looks. Lol o

So glad to hear your weight has stabilized enough that you can take breaks from the feeding tube! That's great! But it's also great that you have it when you need it.
Love watching you guys and Ollie too!! Keep the videos coming.
lets all remember the freys are normal everyday people. we all have bad days, or odd perks, cruddy moods. the point of vlogs isnt to be harassed, vlogs are watching peoples everyday life. no one is perfect, well except ollie 😂😁
Btw Mary if you find yourself leaking everyday all day then it may be that you need a bigger size mickey... I had the same size since I was 12 & I had that same issue! Sometimes it would leak & be real acid & would literally burn my skin! Turns out I needed a bigger size.. Just to know for the future. :) ♡
No, Ollie is only almost the cutest thing ever. My dachshund is the cutest thing.
kairosgrammy no, MY DACHSHUND is the cutest thing EVER! LOL
Thank you for your letting us peek into your lives. We love you!
I believed you Mary! I thought you saw a mouse.
Mary, I was thinking you'd probably be more able to tell if you get hypoglycemic if you disconnected in the day rather than at night.
My 3 year old says, "Good job, they eat healfy food for strong muscles!" lol. We love the cheer you guys share. So glad you're achieving the weight you need. :)
awe! healthy food for strong muscles! haha!
When i had a feeding tube mine would always leak. There's really nothing you can do. My tip is keep tissues on u at all times to clean it up.
you got me with the mouse prank! I saw one of your whale art on another vlog today. It was given to a vlogger as a gift.
I adore you two!! You have a wonderful relationship and are both so dang cute! Keep being positive and sharing the love!
Discovered your channel today n m just here binge watching your videos...n oh I love the intro....
Welcome to the Frey life.
Kelly Reed Thank u...☺
Oh Mary you make me laugh. I always miss your live show :( I try
That tangerine juice had my name on it! Happy early birthday to me! (It's tomorrow). lol
Why hasn't a leggin company tired to sponsor yet? Come on legging companies sponsor the Frey life!
In China there is a drinking game where you eat peanuts using chopstics. As many as you can in 60 seconds. It would make for a great UA-cam challenge ;-P Love Your positivity guys! Best wishes form Poland ;-)
Raspberries are my favorite! Y'all should do an apple taste test in the fall. You could compare the taste of the giant honeycrisp apples to the regular ones. My favorite apples are the hand picked ones from NY orchards that my grandparents used to ship to me!! Nothing else comes close to those!!
How many ML were you doing a day? Anyone know? I am sad you take time off. Your energy levels were up and so evident.
Mary I am happy that everything is going good. God bless you .
In Australia we call the gauze things toppers.
That looks absolute delicious! Which grocery store was this? It looks like a wonderful mini adventure. xxxooxxx
I feel like the amazing apple comparison got lost in everything else.
I bet that it would make sleep more fulfilling to be able to not worry about the cord from the feeding tube!
Just curious - hope this isn't too personal - why does Peter wear two rings? Is one a class ring? Mary's looking great these days!
Ironically I bought those leggings a couple weeks ago! Yay! Finally twinning with Mary! ❤️❤️❤️
It's refreshing to see Christians for LGBT like y'all. Thanks for supporting us through where you shop.
I'm coming to Boston for 4 July I cannot wait to get fresh peas. everything in North Carolina is frozen. Is that stop and shop?
I love how Peter just points at the camera when you tried to prank him. 🤣

Ha!!! I've been wondering and wondering about where you get your leggings! I have tons of medical issues and I don't like shopping so now I know where I can go! Yep! It's the small things!, Thankyou!!
I love y'all so much! Your videos are inspiring and I love that you guys live life to the fullest even when it is tough!👏😜😁❤️❤️
Our Walmart doesn't sell capri leggings 😞😞😞😞😞
Love the red vest on Ollie ❤️❤️
Spot on Mary god your doing great! It's not always about numbers it's about how your body feels! Your attitudes amazing Mary!
My j-tube leaked as well! And my surgeon made me think it would not!
I did feeds at night, I didn't have cystic fibrosis, I have crohnes disease ,
Mary you didn't get Peter with the mouse but you got me. I am hollering run!😜
Love ya guys from Shreveport Louisiana
I can never find the leggings you wear at my local Walmart.
First again, yay! And yay that you got to go to church *and* sing, Mary! 😍
Love them pants Mary, shame Walmart doesn't ship to my part of the world 🙁
You guys are awesome! 💕
I have feeding tub to. what formula you use?
Do the tubes (both feeding and port) change how you can sleep, like are any positions off limits?
Delicious, healthy lunch!
Does allergy season affect the intake and such!! As in keeping food down do to coughing which may or may not be an issue if you do have an increase of coughing due to allergies?
i love you guys!!
me too. they are awesome.
Etsy has the cutest tubie pads, pizza and tacod
You look good, Mary, more healthy. Thanks for the leggings tip. I have one pair of Capri leggings I've been wearing almost every day. I'm totally going to Wal-Mart. Our cat takes my husband's spot on my bed a lot too, loo. He's a lot smaller then Ollie, though.
@thefreylife Do you have Snapchat ? Also, you should do a follow me around
video of Ollie. W a GoPro strapped to him. And Peter doing a voice over. 😄
I would love that too.
You 2 are adorable! 😄
Please pick up the pea so someone doesn't step on it and slip.
tom hohn their egos won't allow them to do the right thing. Morals isn't their strong suit.
Are you at wegmans?
who made your teal blanket
I'll be praying for your weight gain. Such an odd thing to say. I know you put on a brave front but it's impossible not to see that you do still need a lot of prayers in that department. I was hoping the feeding tube would help you more. This isn't meant to be sarcastic, I am just curious...how did you not realize suddenly not taking in calories or not taking them in for hours at a time wouldn't cause low blood sugar?
forgottenpixel We go hours at a time between meals without taking in calories. So when you're used to taking in all your calories by mouth, it makes perfect sense to think that stopping your feed for a few hours would be just the same as going 5 between eating lunch and dinner!
+Melissa I totally agree that you're correct for 'healthy' people. However, not for people who take many medications daily. Those throw your body for a huge loop and often it's not in our control (I have several chronic illnesses). I don't think it's wrong for her to want to stop her feeds say when she's sleeping. But awake? She shouldn't be doing that IMO. That's where I worry for her. That's dangerous.
forgottenpixel Mary and her team are doing their best to make an informed decision about what's right for her body, since they know her body best. I was simply explaining why she might not have thought her blood sugar would fall when taking a break from the feeding tube... because I wouldn't have thought of it either! :)
+Melissa Totally. :) I am just praying she'll stabilize soon and be able to actually gain weight instead of just maintaining her lower weights!
there's actually a world record for the most m&ms eaten with chopsticks in one minute! you guys should try that! I think the record is like 65
I'm used to feeding tubes if u have questions feel free to message me.
when peter dropped the pea did mary swear ?? lol
Holly Maillet Lol, no, she was counting how many peas he was getting and went to say "five" when one fell on the ground. I heard it too. 😊
Now I want an apple.
Ahhh, I had a container of blueberries and a hot dog for dinner.
Mary sang at church? I want to hear Mary sing. Please post a video of her singing a song.
The "going live / there's a mouse" part made me think of something that would be cool. If you have a second camera, and you put one in one spot, and carry the other camera, and use those shots in a vlog. Or, you could record each other while recording each other. :D Or, you could record part of the live stream, to put in the vlog. Those on the stream could say, "Hi vlog." I think those ideas would be cool for a vlog.
Mary, you don't look like you have cow ears, to me.
Mary singing
Peter-"really?" Mary-"I'm doing that thing UA-camrs do" 😄 true. I just watched dailybumps after this video, and they were showing what they were cooking and close ups of the food. (With music) And had to laugh because I thought of what Mary said. 🙃. "This is what fruit looks like in America". Haha!
haha!
Just watched your post of Facebook Live from last night.....all the cereal talk reminds me of "The Breakfast Song" by the Newsboys! "Remember they don't serve breakfast in he**!" What's the difference between Golden Crisp and Honey Comb cereal??? Off to Google.....
One of the best songs of all time. It's sad how many Christians have never heard it!
That apple looks like a honey crisp
This was a lesson in class and manners no matter who you are, what disease you have, you both showed inmature behavior. Then you'll use the words "I'm so grateful" God knows your both both frauds. You are not doing what Jesus would do. YOU NEVER TAKE YOUR OWN FOOD/COOKIES/DRINKS INTO A RESTURANT....IT'S BAD MANNERS AND ONLY IGNORANT PEOPLE WOULD DO.
us that dont have face book need a live chat you tube time every now and then Please !
