After Years of Challenges, This Family Needed Some Hope
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Cammy and her family have been through a lot the last several years. Cammy, herself, has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), which was only recently discovered as the cause of her very rapid weight loss. She has other comorbid conditions along with the EPI and just a couple of weeks ago had to have a feeding tube placed due to the diagnosis of failure to thrive as an adult and to replace some of the vitamins and nutrients her body has not been getting, which has caused a plethora of other conditions as well. Some of this was talked about in the first video of this series (see the playlist), and more information on her very serious condition will be in the next video.
Her husband also has been diagnosed with severe narcolepsy and cataplexy, which causes him to fall asleep in some unusual places and the cataplexy means that even sudden sounds or strong emotions can cause him to go limp. He has had to take 4-5 naps a day in order to survive, which makes having a job difficult, but he has managed as his employer has allowed him to work a lot from home.
There are other issues they are dealing with as well, which I will talk more about in this video. Please just remember that everyone deals with hard things and we all handle things differently. Judgmental comments will be removed immediately.

I’m Cammy , and you guys have moved me to tears. Thank you for helping my family by watching and enabling Bonnie to help us. Bonnie is the best Humanity has to offer and I’m so grateful to have her back in my life. Lanita is an angel too, and I don’t have the words to adequately thank them, but also you guys too. Your views, and likes and subscribes have helped them to help my family in our darkest hour of need and I cannot thank you enough. Hugs to all of you and the prayers are unmistakably felt. Thank you! From the bottom of my automated (pacemaker-humor) heart. Anything that gets done around here has to be in short sequential bursts but one constant is the love I feel from and for you guys. Bless you all.❤🙏🏻
❤
@@Shrinkingviolett2 sending love 💗 from next door 🇨🇦 !!!!
Love you, friend. 🥰
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp sending love back , you are a inspiration!!! Thank you for all you do for people in need. Love you , Midwest, Auri and lots of other cleaning channels!!! Take care!!!!
@@kimhoffman8595 I have an emotional support Canadian! One of my best friends is from Alberta!
"Progress, not Perfection." If that isn't the most accurate description of everyone's life!! I love that!
So true!
I worked with a woman at an insurance company years ago who had narcolepsy. She would fall asleep at her desk. Others made fun of her and that wasn't nice. She was a good soul.
😢
Dang bullies.
I have a friend with narcolepsy and the cost of her meds, even the process of getting approved for them was a lot.
I just don't understand people that make fun of other people who have an illness. It's cruel.
That's so sad. 😔
Oh Bonnie!!!! I am sooooo happy to hear your kind voice! Please be as kind to yourself as you are to others. You are truly amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤
Well said...amen..!!!❤
Loved hearing & seeing you once again ❤ What is the red tool you scraped the oven & door out with?
Amen to that too!❤
@@riverramblings4843 I think this was filmed a while back & the video is just now out.
@riverramblings4843 It is a razor scraper. I have a link in the video description to a set of two of them.
Woo! Alright, some narcolepsy representation here on the channel!
Narcolepsy, even without cataplexy, is an extremely frustrating disorder to live with. I completely understand why this is home is "unorganized" as someone that also has narcolepsy.
Anything that requires a lot of energy - like cleaning - is really, really hard with narcolepsy.
So thank you Bonnie for being awesome and helping these folks out. My cat Louie and I are sending loving vibes from Texas to you and that family!
I’m sorry you have Narcolepsy too. It’s so frustrating for him as he’s used to being the strong one and it’s gotten worse through the years! Narcolepsy is so hard for people who have never seen it in action to fully appreciate the challenge it presents! Hugs!❤
Whoa that change was incredible! Looks like a brand new kitchen! 🤩 I have a really funny story about the “warming/storage drawer”. Well, it’s funny now. I always had electric ovens throughout my life prior to my husband and I moving into our first (very small) home. Our kitchen was so small it couldn’t accommodate a standard size oven, so we used this little 20” oven that you would probably put in a travel trailer or something. It was a gas oven, and it had a drawer. Well, I thought it was for storage. So I put all my cutting boards in there. One day, shortly after moving in, we decided to grill outside and bake some potatoes in the oven inside. After a little bit, we started seeing smoke coming out of the kitchen window. In a panic we rush inside and there’s literal FIRE 🔥 coming out of the back of the vent of the oven! We get it put out, and tried to figure out why the oven caught fire. Well, come to find out that drawer was neither for storage nor for warming, it was the broiler drawer!! 😱 All my cutting boards were ruined, but we were ok with that because the house didn’t burn down and everyone was ok! The oven still worked too (amazing!). So I ended up getting an apron that said “Do you smell something burning?” on it as a memorial of that occasion.
Love your videos! Awesome job! Can’t wait to see the next installment!! ❤️❤️❤️
❤😮😂 glad it wasn’t worse!
That is hilarious! I'm sure it wasn't at the time, but it makes for a good story now. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah it’s hilarious now and gets brought up from time to time, “remember the broiler drawer?” 🤣 When we moved into our new place, the oven is electric, I checked out the drawer (this is actual storage) and was like “honey should I put my cutting boards in here?” So 14 years later we’re still getting a good laugh out of it!
@@Shrinkingviolett2me too!❤
@@Mowzelle my hubby somehow unknowingly started our gas range with a towel he had wrapped around his waste by taking medicine before his shower and setting them down in a small bin on the gas stove then walked away. The smoke alarms went off but not before a bin of fish oil and testosterone vials caught flame. You better believe I aired out the house after that one. The LAST thing I want is a house fire or for my voice to change. 😆🤪
Bonnie, because of you I got my autism diagnosis and it’s changed my life. Thank you. I love your videos. I watch on my tv so rarely comment but was moved by your last video to thank you. Burnout is real. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body. 💕
Our pastor reminded us in church this morning, that helping others rejuvenates ourselves. Unfortunately, it’s also true that it can deplete us. Too often, these opposing truths are not taken into account. If we only adhere to the first, without taking into account, the second, we can end up eating ourselves up from the inside out. I’ll be keeping you in prayer, my sister.
Hang a decorative towel. Over the oven handle bar thing lol. Streaks ? What streaks. I don't see any 😂😂❤
😁
I can't imagine dealing with all of the illnesses this family is dealing with. So glad you're helping them.
Thank you. Everyone has something hard, some people’s is hardship is invisible, some are not , but there’s definitely some heavy challenges in this season of life and I look forward to helping others again asap.
Bonnie your empathy is heartwarming
Wow Cammy, you are such a warrior as is your husband! I am sure all your help is lifting so much stress off their shoulders. Cleaning that stove was still such a tough job! 💪 These kind of stoves have parts that are so hard to reach with a scraper!
Bonnie, you truly deserve all the love and recognition! Remi Clog has mentioned this too 🩵 Love X Coline 😘
I agree!
Thank you, Coline. I saw your latest video came out while we were camping, so I will try to go watch that today, but I love the title...LOL! And if you didn't guess already, "shrinking violet" who responded to your comment is Cammy, so that is her telling you Thank you.😊💓
I went to go watch your latest video and it's not the title I saw pop up on my notifications. I swear I saw something about a butt cheese squeeze and was laughing so hard about that. Where did I see that title?
Miss you Bonnie but I so hope you are getting the rest you need both physically and mentally! 😘
You're kind of like an archaeologist, but you're uncovering beautiful homes. 😁 Sending this family lots of positive energy and prayers for strength and healing. 🙏🏻💜💜
❤ Thank you❤
Love that metaphor!
@@jlaurelc right?! So apt!
So much suffering in that family. 🙏 You are a dear.
You never need to respond to me and I expect most people feel the same. Be nice to you.
"Relax hard" My new life goal! 😆❤ I would be happy to watch multiple episodes of this kitchen. There's a lot of nice stuff to scrub, tidy, and declutter. Yes, yes, please!
😁
Terrific video today, Bonnie. Your editing skills have sharpened remarkably! The way you edit results in a finished product that is polished, and very much demonstrates your quirky personality and your deep and profound views on life and what it means to be good person, as does your commentary. You have the perfect blend of commentary on what you are doing, the background of the homeowner and the ambient sound generated by the oh-so-satisfying scrubbing!!!! Rest deeply and well, revitalizing your spirit and refreshing your ability to deal with the neurotypicals.
So true and well-said!
“Dealing with the neurotypicals” is going to be my new catch phrase.
Bonnie, this is so wonderful to watch. I hope your camping trip has allowed you to decompress, you do whatever you need to do to feel better. Do not reply to this comment.
I am a disabled person and I have been thinking a lot lately about what could make my life better. The thought I hit on was that I need more ease in my life. I am not totally clear on how to achieve that, but one thing I can think of is that I want to identify times when things don’t feel easy. Our kitchen has became a bit cluttered and I find myself struggling to find and extract the things I want to use from our overstuffed cabinets and drawers. I don’t have the energy to do a full kitchen decluttered so my plan is that when I hit those moments of things feeling like a struggle, I will take a moment to evaluate what doesn’t belong in that space.
Oh my gosh, I love this so much! I'm actually going to screenshot your comment to possibly share in a future video because that makes so much sense to me when I think about being in that situation and not able to do a full declutter, but just to recognize those moments when it feels overwhelming and to immediately do something about it in that moment. Thanks for sharing!
One drawer, bin, shelf, cupboard at a time does wonders
Set a 15 minute timer, you’ll be surprised what you can accomplish in a short time period.
My husband and I have had covid for a week with no energy to clean - the house is already trashed. I can't imagine fighting chronic illness, juggling kids schedules, and having anything left at the end of the day :(
@@KerrieBerrie hope you are getting better!
Bonnie I do pray you are doing better and my prayers are with you and my love is with you. I have enjoyed this very much and I think you God bless you 🙏❤️🌹
Bonnie, how do I nominate you for citizen of the year. I’ve told you before that you are an Earth angel. But please take a break and take care of yourself. Burnout is a real thing honey. I’ve never met you but I love you because you go over and beyond for so many people that need the help. But honey you need help taking care of yourself too. Please let someone take care of you until you feel your batteries are full again. Enjoy yourself camping.
Wonderful job Bonnie🎉 so glad to hear your voice,much better than last time. Such a huge transformation 👏. Enjoy your weekend with the family and loved the fireworks at the end 😀
We have your back, Bonnie. Take care of yourself just as much as you take care of others. ❤
❤absolutely wonderful cleaning today. The kitchen looks fantastic 🎉
You do sound like you have been resting. Well done. 👍
Don’t forget to take time for you and the family. Maybe a date night with the hubby 😜
This couple just resonates with me. They just can't catch a break. Chronic health issues can be absolutely crushing. I know from abundant personal experience. Thank Goddess there is a brand of folks like you , Mack, Barbie and others. Y'all bring Light against the Dark. Bless you all.
Yes, it's true- the Dark doesn't stand a chance while good people act and share like this. I think of some of my darkest times and who helped me and they are memory angels (many now deceased) but still Angels. Light is there and its expression is a wonderful, spiritual thing. Respect and love for the brave souls who express! bye
Hugs!❤ Goodness exists! Thank you! ❤
@@d.k.s.4057I think the ones that love us never truly leave.
Wow! From a packed, cluttered mess to a clean and functional kitchen again! It's so satisfying to watch the transformation.
Take care and be well, Bonnie!
Love to Bonnie, Cammy, and anyone else struggling with their physical and mental health. You deserve good things, you deserve rest, and you deserve to live in a clean and calming space!!
Thank you. ❤
Bonnie you are such a sweet kind soul. Thank you for helping this family. They certainly deserve to have a clean organized home. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Trying to be compassionate is really not that hard. Enjoy your time off. Looking forward to seeing more of this house. ❤❤❤
Beautiful job ❤❤I love your organization skills❤
The fridge outerface and the countertop are my absolute favourites!
I dislike cleaning myself but love watching other people doing it and I will always come back to this! I do appreciate people cleaning though, the most underpaid job ever
I turn on bonnie and Mack for motivation and if I’m feeling well, my husband has to ask me to stop eventually before I wear myself out and pay for it for a day or two! ❤
Beautiful job. You have suchba big 🩵 Cleaning was lovely to see with before & afters. Thank you for all you do!
The longer, the better😊. Your videos are never long enough. I so enjoy your talking and your understanding. Greetings from Munich, Germany.
Hi Bonnie!
Mack from Midwest Magic Cleaning sent me here.
Wow! You are a power house and yet your voice is so kind and gentle.
God Bless You for your work for people who are overwhelmed.
I hope you had a peaceful time on your camping trip and didn't look at your cellphone at all.
Be well!
That stove/oven looks FAN FREAKIN TASTIC! Well done lady
your great bonnie!
She has a beautiful kitchen. You really made it shine. Can’t wait for the next phase.
Thank you! ❤
@@Shrinkingviolett2 it really is a nice kitchen 🥰 It was extra satisfying to see how nice it was after it's done. So much cooking space and drawers 😍 Hope to add both when we remodel someday lol
I was listening to her talk about being ill and wanting to be who she was before her illness. I can so relate, we just did a huge purge in my home. When I’m ill I love to buy because it makes me feel better. Once learning this lesson, I was able to stop. This was just a small thing I heard in the video and it so helped me. 🙏 please remember to take care of yourself first. ❤
I've always used the drawer under the oven for storage, but when I was a child, I was told by someone that it is really a warming drawer. So you aren't the only one who thought that.
My guess is that they usually were for warming back in the day, but more people used them for storage than for warming, so they stopped including the warming function as a standard feature.
❤ yes, smiley faces do need eyebrows 🎉❤ you do an incredible job 🎉❤
What a transformation! Even though the stuff in the drawers wasn’t immediately visible, I found the cleaning of the insides of the drawers especially satisfying.
Amazing transformation great job Bonnie ❤❤❤❤

There is a wonderful Greek family in the home town of Bonnie and Cammy and they own an AMAZING restaurant called The Mandarin (Chinese food, I don’t know why but they have some Greek Asian fusion dishes) it has been in USA Today and all the sons are Doctors. Skedros is their name. Wonderful people!!

I'm sorry, *what?!* AMAZON HERE I COME
😅👍
Bonnie, you are a master at cleaning and organising. Wonderful work for this family. I hope you spend time this week just for you.
Wonderful video with a huge transformation so far. Praying for this family to have improved health. Hoping you have a great time camping with your family. Take care of yourself! God bless you. ❤😊
The world needs more people like you!!!!
You do the best before and after photos of any channel! The same angle, and nice smooth glide across change, plenty of them and close ups of areas. Very satisfying. Good job and may you have a lovely restful weekend in nature with your family x
I just have to say that I adore your videos. You have such a friendly and down-to-earth personality that really shines through. I can easily envision this happening to so many people! Especially when in the homeowner's mind that the situation would be "temporary" and they'd get things back together when life returned to "normal". But then you realize that this is the "New Normal" but by then you're completely overwhelmed and don't know where to turn. And many people are so worried about being judged that they won't ask for help, even with people they consider close friends or family. Channels like yours are like rays of sunshine and hope in a really dark world. It gives me faith that there are amazing people in the world and kindness goes a long way.
Exactly! People want to be independent but sometimes people don’t get better or don’t for a long time. It has been a hard lesson to ask for help sooner rather than later. My pride as a homemaker and an independent woman hurt my family until I realized I had no way out of the situation without help. It’s a life and death situation now for me health wise and I am treating maintaining the new cleanliness that way too. Thank heaven for Bonnie and Lanita. I never want this mess to be anything close to this again!
❤ Wonderful work. 👍 THREE cheers for kindness! 😊
Hello Bonnie,
Hope you are well xx
All the best 🙂💛
Wow what a huge transformation!! Those “after” pics were beautiful!! I can only imagine how happy this made Cammy! Great work! 😊
Bonnie your kindness is inspirational and I hope something good happens to you today.
Wow! That was a lot of work! Great job Bonnie!
Hello Everyone! Poor souls!! I always pray for others who are suffering more than their share of medical problems. 🙏I do hope they can overcome such trials. Bonnie is a life saver, but I also pray she will take time for herself to rest her mind, spirit and soul! 💓
Bonnie, loving the before and after vertical slide. Great job!. Cammy and family keep doing great progress!
Cleaned my fridge out today whilst watching clean with Barbie! My husband said it’s only taken 30 years, but I’m now obsessed with deep cleaning. You’re amazing ❤
Makes me sad when you point out your faults...BE KIND to YOURSELF 🫶🏻
Barkeepers Friend is awesome stuff.
I love Cammi's Depeche Mode tee! ❤
Thanks! Music is a passion, concerts and my kitchen are my happy places when I’m well. Love DM. 🌹💕
Love from Brazil, Bonnie! You are such an angel ❤
We could now see the actual beauty of the house because of your amazing work. Also, I like that you use different cleaning products one at a time when you're trying them out. It helps us to assess how effective they really are.
Keep up the good work but also take it easy. Enjoy your relaxation time! I will wait for your next video patiently.
I like the idea to put eyebrows on smileys 😁
You've been kind of my body double for the last couple of days. You're doing such an amazing job! I'm so glad Mack send me here.
🙏
Great job, ladies❣️Amazing fireworks! Have a great day. 😍👍😍
Great job, Bonnie! I hope the wife & husband's health is improving.
SHE'S A DEPECHE MODE FAN!!! SO COOL! The woman who lives in the house!
I got to sing Happy Birthday to Martin L Gore on his 40th, standing 3 feet from him. 💜🇬🇧 Seems you have good taste in music too! 💕
So good to hear your voice Bonnie. Just remember there are more with you than against you. You are amazing!
Job well done Bonnie!
Awesome 👍🏾 job 👏🏾❤❤❤❤❤
The progress you've made is amazing. What a beautiful kitchen. I can't wait to see you organise the pantry and cupboards in the next video. You're the beautiful woman I've been getting my organising tips and tricks from. And how to fold laundry in a more compact way. But I did already know how to fold a fitted sheet, I just couldn't do it standing up. Xx
I'm just blown away and hardly know what to say. Blown Away by the difficulty of the situation the family is in and of the work that you've been able to do to help them. Totally amazing!
I thank God for empathetic people like you 🎉❤
They have a beautiful kitchen. I'm so glad you could get it back for her. Some families have more than their fair share of hard times.
Thank you. The compliments on my kitchen help me to also just appreciate how incredibly blessed I truly am despite the health difficulties. I think most of us would take our trials over someone else’s and I know I am so blessed.
Bonnie you are wonderfull, i wish there were 10000 like you
You do such wonderul work with beautiful empathy. We appreciate you ❤
🫶
Bonnie! Love you and your talents. I so enjoy your videos. Thanks for another great one. Great progress here!
Ironically, the self-cleaning feature always scared me and I’ve never used it. Glad now!
W O W ~ W O W ! ! ! What an amazing transformation. It's a beautiful kitchen.
Hey Bonnie, it’s so nice to hear that
Your sounding better, just wanted to let you know that people do care about you. Take care of yourself, no reply necessary ❤❤
This family has been through a lot what a beautiful gift you have given them Bonnie. I bet the first morning they came down to their kitchen they must of felt so happy & relieved. Kindness can go such a long way.
It felt like Christmas! 🎄 ❤
Yay good to see you posted
Bonnie, you are doing a great job. Thank you for encouraging all of us to do our part for each other
I will start dressing "too cute to clean". Works for me!! lol
😅
Totally! I always get stove and oven mixed up! Thank goodness I’m not the only one 😂
You sound better and I hope that you are finding your way to being healthy, body and soul. Great job!
I'm so glad that she is ready to also declutter some of it. It's so hard to keep up with a cluttered house.
Nice job! I have a ton of kitchen gadgets too. Makes me what to go thru them all and purge!
Oh my gosh Bonnie! You did such a beautiful job on that oven. If it weren't for you who would help this family? You're a gem!
Huge job. Looks so much better.
It is looking amazing.
Cammy being able to regift all the kitchen items what a blessing
So blessed! ❤
Another great job Bonnie!
Making all of those decisions on what to keep and what to donate - that alone would wear me out. It can quickly become quite tiring mentally.
Especially when you’re not well! But it helps so much!
Tou do not just help those you clean for. You help some of us watching as well
Amen to that. Bonnie and Lanita are angels among us.
Great video Bonnie. You have the sweetest and so relatable. I appreciate your content and your light shining in this world. No response needed 💕
The fact that you take the time to do this for free is mighty work! Holy smokes!
She has a beautiful kitchen! You did an amazing job of getting it so clean! ❤
Thank you! Your comment helps me count my blessings and gratitude is so helpful in times like this! Thank you for helping bonnie to help me just by watching this! ❤
Hello Bonnie! Just sending love and approval. ❤😊
You are an Angel! You send ripples of goodness all over the world.
I love this thought!❤
That was an amazing transformation! What a gorgeous kitchen. Great job Bonnie 👏
