      The Frey Life I have to say that during the clip out in the yard I was getting misty eyed at the realization of how sweet life can be even in the midst of all this turmoil and danger. I thanked the Lord for all those times and for the gift of that realization. Seeing Peter doing the yard work and you both feeling much better was a reminder that our everyday lives are to be treasured the way you both have always done. You guys teach us so much by just letting God use you. I have been feeling a little guilty about enjoying the slower, simpler pace our whole world has been forced to adopt. It has crossed my mind that I hate to see it end. Of course I don’t want this very dangerous virus to continue! I just wish the world would learn that the pressure of this pace of life, and some of our priorities, just is not how we were meant to live. Having more time with family and for prayers is so sweet! So thanks Mary, for speaking that out loud. It made me feel like I’m not so weird. I just hope y’all know how much you both touch “The People” who truly do feel like we are all part of the Frey Life family. Your life together is a true ministry anointed by God! Hope all of this does not sound sappy but, for whatever reason, this vlog really got to me today...in a good way. God bless and protect y’all...and the two little Frys!

    I am someone who has been blessed with a healthy body and a very strong immune system - I rarely get sick, and if I do, it's very mild. I am ashamed to say that I have often been guilty of sweeping thought processes like "exposure to germs is good because everyone gets stronger, and people are silly to be cautious of sharing things and handshakes etc." which definitely come from a place of privilege and ignorance, but also of selfishness. One of my best friends has CF (she introduced me to your channel) and she told me she has to be cautious about germs etc. but I never really understood that it shouldn't be entirely her responsibility until now. This crisis has made me DRASTICALLY more aware of my position as a potential carrier of viruses and bacteria, and I'm really concerned about her health, and also the health of everyone in our society with health conditions that make this or any similar virus so deadly. I would like to think my habits surrounding this type of heygiene haven't changed much - I already washed my hands thoroughly and never sneezed or coughed into them or breathed really close to people's faces etc... However, my ATTITUDE has completely changed and I hope that if I ever slip into ableist lines of thinking like that, that I will remember to check my privelige!

    On the high risk bus, too. Today I had to choose to forego my “quality of life giving” infusion, as it eradicates my B lymphocytes while it decreases my myasthenia gravis symptoms. I am knowingly choosing loss of physical function to protect myself from the virus. Hoping the infusion will go as re-scheduled May 27.

    One of my friends messaged me the other day saying “I just realized that you’re in the high risk category” (I have pretty bad asthma, and I can’t even get a normal cold without it turning into bronchitis/ pneumonia) & for some reason even though I knew that, it made me nervous.

      High-risk just means more chance of dying when you do get it. I understand what you are saying. It is going to get a lot worse here and everyone is at risk. Thank you for your warning. I am 28 and have been self-quartiened for a few weeks. My husband and I told our friends we would not be seeing them for a while. Some of them said we were overreacting and were frustrated with us. I am so disappointed in the way people my age are handling this. It is so scary, and sad. Love from America. ❤ Condolences for all your country is going through.

My husband normally is away for work, so me and my service dog are on our own during the week. So it’s nice to have him around 24/7 and just hang out and talk about all the things that we struggle with at the moment. I hope that, when all this is over, people have a better understanding, what it feels like, to sometimes not being able to go out for two weeks, because I’m just to sick.

    I love the psalms 23rd part of this video. December 4, 2019 my life changed from a person just having and knowing religion to being a person with a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Your videos and the podcast have played a small part in my salvation experience as I have been watching your life for several years now. But, I have noticed that yes, I am concerned about this virus.… And, it may kill me.… But, even when I worry.… I have a sense of peace about it. We have five known virus cases in Chattanooga Tennessee and I live right below there... and then one known case of this virus basically right over the mountain from where I live.… But, not too worried about it because I know God is in control. Before truly receiving Christ as my savior, -I was the worlds worst worrier about things.… Not this time. Sorry such a long comment.… absolutely love this video and the message! :-)

I feel like most of my family & friends just don’t get it & get a similar feeling that you were talking about that they think that I’m the freak. I feel like I’m “quarantined” in how I rarely see people~ majority of my family & friends go out drinking or don’t want to hang out with me bc I can’t do too much like going out~ so in a way I’ve been loving how everyone is quarantined & now getting a small dose of how I’ve had to live my life for years & also loving how they’ve been finding ways to communicate with me more bc they are on break from their busy busy lives (though I hate the reason why of course) So needless to say, I get a little bit of how you live & appreciated hearing what you both had to say and bring me a little bit of religion tonight made me feel better.

The internet is our view to the world and to our friends. Most all of my friends are online...and many are as sick as I am which is severe.
    Ahhh my favorite Bible verse..yea though I walk through the valley of death, I fear no evil.......I say it a lot. Two years ago when they told me I was dying and nothing they could do...that is the verse I was saying over and over in my head.
    Glad to see you feeling better. Life is precious. Treasure each moment. Peter I love what you said about no matter what happens, God is with us. It is what I told many that...that knowing if you belong to Jesus makes a huge difference and praying that your family and loved ones also have come to believe in Jesus so you know where they will be when their time comes. My sons know all this which I love.

    So glad you are both feeling better. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the back of your home. It’s hard to get a sense of the dimensions inside so this was pretty cool. That is a pretty big place you have. Beautiful! Peter there is grass seed out that you can plant around trees. Don’t know what it’s called but you can look up grass for around trees. Our service is going to be live streamed this Sunday but we will miss it because we’re returning to AL from a week stay in IN. But there’s always UA-cam. Thanking God for this amazing technology so we can have a church service without the risk! Thank you so much for these videos. I love watching them. If you run out of antibacterial wipes go to the Dollar Tree and buy their automobile glass wipes or their all purpose auto cleaning wipes. Both have alcohol in them. Don’t know how much but you can always add a few drops of your own alcohol to the pack. They contain Isopropyl and Ethyl alcohol. Regular antibac wipes are scarce as hens teeth. If your bible app has it check out Psalm 23 in the VOICE translation. It’s beautiful! God bless you both!

  • @fragilefleur
    @fragilefleur 4 роки тому

    This is so true and I've had a real taste of what you've had to deal with for so long. I bow to your amazing spirit for the ability to deal with those endless awkward situations where people might perceive you as weird or distant or you just feel weird b/c you have to not shake a hand or high five or all of the normal social greetings that involve touch. I had a few incidents recently and really considered how hard it is for you and other CF and high risk people. One was where we were coming home from a dog walk in the park. Our dog is super duper cute and everyone in the world wants to touch her which is great but sometimes even SHE doesn't want to be touched. BUT this time it was a child who is a neighbor and seems kind of needy of love and attention who always wants to say hi to our dog Ellie. My partner who is trying HARD to isolate as much as possible while still getting a walk in the woods for exercise was holding Ellie and the little girl came up to pet her. The child's mom was there and allowed her to come up to pet the dog without asking really if it's okay right now. We were forced at that moment to let the girl pet Ellie and get too close to my partner and risk her health by NOT social distancing. What do you do when people come up to Ollie and you don't want them to be near or touch him? It's a really awkward situation b/c people always want to pet her everywhere if we have her along. I also have found even on the trail where we walk, we don't cross paths with people much but we were truly crossing body space and now we're trying to pull our bodies over literally off the trail to let people go by b/c they aren't really doing it. We feel weird having to do it and a bit rude but it's reality and my partner said she just turns around so she doesn't have to face the person (maybe less uncomfy for her). I always say hi if they're looking social and I finally had one couple yesterday who said thank you for us pulling our bodies over and off the path. That was a great great moment. So many are unaware and now there are more that are but I have only tiptoed into the uncomfortable social situations you and all the CF'er friends of mine have had to deal with. It makes me wonder why this is perceived as so rude and why we are made to feel so awkward to just refuse to let someone In our body space. It's definitely some sort of trust test between strangers and people see you as untrustworthy if you pull back. (in the past). Now I think less so b/c of the social distancing thing being in place for the country but MAN I swear it makes me so frustrated when I think of how many times you've had to feel that awkward moment and had to make up for it by explaining, by harder smiles and sweet waves to "prove" that you're trustworthy still. ugh. Makes me want to wear a t shirt that says "I'm socially distancing' or something so they get it but I swear people still still are taken aback when it happens sometimes. One good thing now though beyond that is that all the stores and places are being extra clean and careful about their spaces. I went to get a starbucks coffee at a drive through and they were using new gloves for every customer. Made me hate the waste of gloves per coffee but it made me appreciate the safety at this time. I imagine you prob wish the world was that safe all the time. I know things are more clean and SOME people are cleaning their commonly touched spaces more often. Sadly some people aren't taking this seriously in the younger set and I wonder what your take is on the irresponsibility of these people. It makes me so angry to see that and know how they are risking so many people's health whether compromised or not. It's selfish. Anyways, just hat's off to you for all the many many uncomfortable social moments you've had to endure. This is really not spoken about enough or wasn't in the past that not all people can do this social greeting and that it's causing discomfort in compromised peeps. Sending big huge hugs and way to go to get out and do some yard work. I think blowing the leaves though might cause a lot of dust and mildew to kick up so I'd steer clear and plan to do more planting when the soil is more moist and not getting aerated. I know the fluffed up soil and leaves gets my asthma going and sets me back. What can ya do though when you really just want to go play outside. Looks like you need to order some seeds and get some baby plants growing. I think that'd do your soul a world of good. You can tend to the seedlings and have a blast watching them grow while Peter does the bigger hardcore work out there. Your deck would be a GREAT space for seed starting. If you need advice just ping me. :)

    See, THIS is why I follow you guys and this channel! Growing up with lifelong medical issues myself, I'm finally coming to realize that it's not a curse (at least not completely). It's also a blessing! This video for example, Mary, you're taking your own life experiences, relating it to current world events and, whether you realize it or not, you're helping others just by sharing your story! So THANK YOU ♡ And Peter, you're doing the same by sharing your story as being a husband/caregiver, which is a topic that already does not get enough awareness! So thank you as well :)

    A lot of the thoughts you shared about thinking outside the box are thoughts I have had when this whole isolation started. We have become very complacent in our routines, whatever that may be. Our routines are taken away from us, now we have to occupy our days in other ways. Cook foods differently because our ingredients may not be at the stores, etc. And I think it's good, not that a virus is ever good, but what it's done to our lives is. I am handicapped and immunosuppressed (kidney transplant) so I'm home a lot and this isolation is not really different for me either, but I know it is for many others (including my husband and rest of family). I pray that God will protect us and help Mary recover completely. Take care Freys!

    I understand totally, when you have a chronic health issue or survived something that blind sighted you, you know your level of control is only so much and there is a certain level of peace giving up the notion that you can prevent everything from happening. Of course, you can control what you can, resting, eating healthy foods, exercising, but the lives we LIVE, require us to be part of a larger world. So we move forward with faith and a knowledge that there is always something greater than ourselves at work in our lives.

Now there is church online so i can still "go" to church and interact with others. God finds a way to touch us where we are.

He has 10%FVC and uses a vent non-invasively. My biggest fear isn’t him doing as much as the thought if he had coved-19 they wouldn’t let me be with him and he’d die alone. Daily I have to just rest in my faith too so I don’t get over whelmed. Today is good and I choose joy today.

    HI Guys , wow , so glad you both are feeling better and had a chance to enjoy what looked to be a great day ! It is so refreshing to know there is beauty in this terrifying world right now . The love and faith you both have for yourselves and people in general is just so amazing and so inspiring. I watched as Gov. Cuomo described " closing the valve " and how I admired his strength to go against the grain for the better of all , and to say on a national stage , " if your mad , blame me " . He did not waver from his responsibilities to keep people safe. We are in the midst of something so rare , traces of it can only be found in the bible . The faith Christians share is a ' intimate calling of service to all and to share our faith with others ' , you guys have performed so well . I am truly blessed to know you both , and glad to bare witness to the good and the not so good times , in the end it is how we face our trials that will truly matter. Thanks for the video , take care , Gary 

    I am high risk I have vocal chord disfunction and if I breathe in the wrong thing I can stop breathing. It seems to have its moments, but since getting something like the Coronavirus would make things worse for me. I also have esophagus dismotility disfunction and I have a feeding tube but I choose to still eat at least once a day, but I struggle with staying nutritionally sound. I also can't take too many meds my body is too sensitive and no antibiotics other than maybe IV therapy and we aren't even sure about that. So I broke down and got a full face respirator mask. I didn't want to I was worried about the stares, but on some level not only due to the virus scare but going out can be scary i hate that feeling of not being able to breathe and I feel for you Mary because you live with it every day. You both are an inspiration. One to help us see how to have different perspectives and lenses to get through times as these. Also, Peter thanks for showing the world that men are capable of being there for wives that are not always well. We don't see enough of this. I was on a gatroparesis site and many had husbands leaving them or was convienced no man would love them and for those of us that are single you give someone like me hope so thank you for showing that. I appreciate you both a lot. God Bless. I pray you are feeling better.

    This is scary what our world is facing right now, and it’s so important we pray for those with Covid-19, and pray for ourselves and our families.
    This is actually hitting our future generation, and hitting them hard! Something we thought wasn’t going to be an issue, that being child and young adult. So we all need to take this seriously!

I tell ya, by the time this is all over ...we all will have the best looking yards and home then any other! :)
