    Mary, I am going to start using you as motivation to take better care of myself. You battle this chronic illness so hard every day and I neglect my healthy body. It is embarrassing. If you can exercise when you have trouble breathing, have coughing fits and massive headaches, there is no excuse for me not to do it! You are a beast! ❤

    Oh my gosh. When you dubbed Oliver in with him singing "Hello" I fell out...lol... I had to keep playing it over and over... I love that dog...and I love you from inspiring me to take my chronic illness one day at a time... If I can be happy for 1 day I feel so good inside... then the next day I tell myself "I Can be happy for 1 day"...and it is working.. Thank you.

    Your videos are so inspiring. I love how happy you always are. I don't have CF, but I do have type 2 diabetes, and although I know that is NOTHING like what you go through, I sometimes get frustrated and bitter, and then I see your videos and how nice and sweet you are, and it just makes me see how negative I'm acting, and to try and be more positive. I'm really glad I found your videos. I'm a relatively new subscriber, less than a month I believe, but I went back and watched as many as I could over the last couple weeks and you guys are just awesome! Keep doing what you do! P.S- We're the same age! lol!

    Hope Peter is ok. My husband has been in the hospital for 10 days, he has diabetes and had to have his big toe amputated. He also has a infection in his index finger that has been stubborn to antibiotics and has required two surgeries, but today the surgeon said that it looks like it is finally improving.Thank you for sharing your life with us and reminding me to laugh each and every day.By the way, in order for my husband to come home, someone will have to pack his wound each day, change his dressings, and hook him up to his IV. I am fine with the IV and dressing his wounds, but do not have the stomach to pack his wound. Buuuuttt, thankfully our 16 year old daughter loves that kind of thing, so today the nurse showed her how to do it and the doctor approved for my husband to come home some time next week! God is so Good

    Hi guys. I've found your channel after Julie Hasselberger showed us the things you sent to her. I lost a school friend to CF when we were both 27 years old. She was lovely. I've had an interest in CF since I met her at school when we were both 9 years old. I'm glad I've found your channel. You're doing well with your CF at 26 years old, Mary. But then I guess a lot has happened in the treatment of CF in the 9 years since my friend passed away here in the UK. Sadly, she got too sick to get a transplant in time for it to save her life. I saw a video where you mentioned that your sister got a transplant. Are you hoping to go down that route? If so, I hope you get your transplant in time. You're such a lovely woman & such a great couple. I love how supportive your husband is of you. I look forward to following your journey together.

    I am struggling so hard with food right now. All I want to eat is meat and veggies, which is healthy, but my weight and lung function was down at my last appointment. My cravings have changed a lot too the older I get. I wish so badly that I loved bread and pasta, it would make life so much easier! Right now I'm hooked on brussel sprouts and cauliflower stir fry with lemon juice and feta cheese!

  • @melissagunn9267
    @melissagunn9267 9 років тому +1

    I'm so glad Ollie boy came too see us, he was so precious!!! I'm sure trying to eat a balanced and CF friendly diet is difficult esp. when you have no appetite sometimes. Is there such thing as a nutritionist or professional dietician who specializes in special diets for patient with CF, that might be helpful? I guess the big thing is just eating when you can, which you do, just didn't know if a nutritionist would provide more tips and guidance... Just a thought. Mary I could tell your nose was totally itching at the end of the vlog from your vest, my nose even itches when I use a electric toothbrush! Must have something to do with the fast vibration. Peter how do you hold up the camera for so long I've only heard you say your arm was getting tired like once before when you were filming, I feel like my arm would feel like its going to fall out LOL. Love u guys and Oliver See ya tomorrow!!!! (:

    @karenmccreary4538 9 років тому +1

    Over the course of a two week period your diet would all add up to a guide for healthy eating for a CF patient ! Your body just tells you what you need and when you need it ! You do an awesome job of putting it all together ! The tricky part is always the prep time and then not wanting it. So, you put it away for another time and go for it ! When you feel like it , some time keep track of everything you eat in a 2 week period and it will probably look like a guide for healthy eating for a CF patient ! Really !! Your diet is amazing ! You're not living on junk food 24/7 and that is more than most people in this country can say ! GO MARY!!! LYLMO XXXOOO

    Hi Mary :) I hope you're doing well today. I have a question.. or a couple. I am in my first year of med school and I wanted to know if you had any really great experiences with your docs or any good tips for physicians dealing with patients in general and especially with patients with chronic diseases. Do's and don'ts! I've been a patient, myself, but would LOVE to hear others' experiences. Thanks xoxo

I have a s.d.i.t. and can't imagine life with this new problem without him. He is super short as we r finding. But since I am 4 11 ish... will work lol. Keep working at the nutrients. It is a struggle for so many. I drink almond, cow, and soy milk weekly because everyone seems to have different opinions lol. What to do? God bless u 3. Prayers. Kate

  • @kimvangemert8145
    @kimvangemert8145 9 років тому +3

    This is just a suggestion, but you could look into a high carb low fat vegan diet, because you get a lot of calories and it's also really healthy for you! But I feel like in your case, you could get on the hclf diet but still eat meat to get nutrition! It just popped in my head so I wanted to share that :) Take care! Xoxo

    I just went on you merchandise site. Mary, you are so talented!! I Love all your paintings. Mary, did you take art classes in school? Also, can I ask a possible favor, in one of your next videos. could you say a Hello, to me Stacey and my niece Maria. Maria is going through alot right now health wise and I told her I would try to get you two to say hi to us. she just smiled so big and said that would make her so happy. I completely understand if you can't. Have a wonderful weekend, Peter, Mary and Oliver.

    • @thefreylife

    One of my ex boyfriend's had CF (who is now passed away) and because I was eating the same thing he was, I stacked on the weight. Was not too good coz when I went clothes shopping, nothing fitted.

  • @louisebeech6439
    @louisebeech6439 9 років тому +1

    Hi I have a lot a trouble deciding what to feed my 11 month old son who has cf. I can never decided between an meal with high fruit or veg or a high calorie. I try to keep it even so fruit/ veg at dinner and a calorie basted at tea. I find it hard to get him to eat much at all at the moment as he has been ill pretty much for the past 2 month it one straight after another. He is also teething so it a constant battle to get him to eat anything xx

    • @thefreylife
      @thefreylife  9 років тому

      +Louise Beech I think at this point calories are the most important... especially since his little body if fighting while he is sick. When my sister was tiny all my parents could get her to eat was applesauce and french fries...so apple sauce and french fries she ate... and hopefully within a few months you can expand to more food- nutritious, and high calorie :)

    • @louisebeech6439
      @louisebeech6439 9 років тому

      +The Frey Life yeah I have but I get worried he is not getting as much as he needs his weight has still been going up. We have clinic Tuesday afternoon but his have been really ill since his last Wight Check. So fingers crossed it has at least stayed the same. They r debating whether he need ivs or not it will be his first ivs for an infection. He has had them before his surgeries but just as an extra provision x

    • @thefreylife
      @thefreylife  9 років тому

      You keep up the great work of being his advocate and taking the best care of him you possibly can- I can't imagine how tired you must be- mind and body. Hang in there, and I hope to hear good news on Tuesday! Ultimately, I hope that you feel well cared for by his CF team

    • @louisebeech6439
      @louisebeech6439 9 років тому +1

      +The Frey Life we do feel very cared for we only live 15 minutes away from the hospital so his cf nurse pops in to see him if he gets unwell between visit or they find a space to see him that day. He is at an age were he is starting to fight having his inhalers and pep mask or pt and as his unwell we have been doing it 3 times most days. I am only wake now (we live in the uk) as he needs his last antibiotic at 1. Today is the last day of this course of extra antibiotics so last late night. Until Tuesday when we discuss what time try next xx

    I wonder if you pulled a muscle or nerve once when coughing which triggers that headache? If so, time and Motrin should hopefully calm it down in time.

      +The Frey Life Thank you! I will have to check that one out next time in Barnes and Noble. I was always taught to read from at least 3 different versions, but have quite a library of them now! I just prefer version that include the Apocrypha because I love the Book of Sirach. Gotta have as much Wisdom books as I can get! :D Do you have favourites Old and New Testament books? Old Testament I love Genesis, Exodus, Ruth, Psalms, Proverbs, Wisdom, Song of Songs, Sirach, Judith and I am forgetting someone. lol New Testament, love Matthew and Luke, Acts, and all the letters, especially Galatians, Corinthians and Ephesians! So, yeah. Basically all of it! :)

    I hope you don't think I'm rude or making light of a serious problem, but when you talk about cf and food, I always think of one of those Rumpelstiltskin-type deals with the hidden catch: "Sure, you can eat anything you want without gaining weight...but you'll NEVER BE HUNGRY! BWAHAHAHA!!"
    But on a serious note, I truly love and appreciate your videos - you and Peter are so sweet and inspiring, and you put a smile on my face every day. I hope you're enjoying your day today!

    My dog loves lotion too! She'll follow you around and lick your legs if you put it on, it drives my mom crazy!

      My dog just likes licking legs. I have another that side glances and licks your face with the underside of his tongue while he's turning his head.

    My dad was an excellent fisherman and an extraordinary cook and he would fry flounder and make sandwiches:
    Flour, egg and Italian seasoned bread crumbs pan fried on toast with Cole slaw and homemade tartar sauce...YUMMO!
    I miss him soooooooooo much! 😕 Have a great day! 😀🐟🍞
