Addressing Your Concerns

[@Chickenhawk.]

No suggestions. No criticisms. Just mad respect. Period.

[@dotnorton6569]

I watched that short with Baxter, i was so happy to see him try so hard.❤❤❤❤❤

[@pamkammann1176]

Me too❤

[@carolcalf2032]

Me too. I had tears watching it. Well done Baxter

[@carolethomas7930]

Baxter looks so much more alert this morning. Perky happy ears.

[@hollymcrae2685]

Jared, you might want to try a baby sling to carry Baxter when you are using crutches. Just a suggestion.

[@suewalters9822]

Good idea!

[@pamkammann1176]

Wonderful thought ❤

[@elizabethmacdonald4605]

Yes! A great idea.👍

[@margaretmurphy5230]

I suggest Caldesen powder. It blocks moisture. In the baby department. Yes a sling I saw a lady in Walmart carrying her dog. She said she got it on Amazon.

[@virginiacurrey2019]

@@margaretmurphy5230 that is the best powder.. and the sling or backpack would help movement and doggy sitting. I know it must hurt when you are on your leg a lot. You might try that powder ..it will keep the area dry. I will be so glad when you get into the house so you aren’t climbing ladders as much. Jared, I think you do wonderfully with your handicap. I’ve always from early on admired you! God loves a overcomer that keeps their faith strong! Get breaks often letting the body heal…. 👏👏😘😘❤️❤️

[@Shortcutt5700]

Jared I used to put badger balm on my brother's skin to heal the skin . Also you are blessed to have your father who is skilled and healthy enough to help you , and your brother who is skilled enough and both of them that are unselfish and honorable to give you their help to build your home and last but not least your sweet mother who brings up the rear and does whatever her men in her life need. You are absolutely blessed . The fact that they are all there for you ! You are blessed.!!! The badger balm will heal you heal fast , I bought it at an auto parts store . It healed him fast . Believe me I was puzzled too but it worked . P. S. I saw Baxter use his legs in the pool when you and your dad used the squeaky toy, your dad's face was priceless with the joy he saw . You and him both were ecstatically happy and so was I. He will walk again with that kind of exercise, my bet would be on it !!! I cried with happiness watching him . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sandyloyst1811]

Here's to the two most lovable cripples on the internet. Prayers always for health and happiness for you and your family. Love and Peace.

[@bowvalen4643]

They are so stinking cute..just adore them both.

[@LovesJESUS]

Jared I don’t have any suggestions regarding your leg but I will pray for healing. Both you and Baxter praying for healing.

[@annmcintosh4524]

In our family it’s called “ it’s just what we do”. At one time or another we all need help physical or mental or emotional. We don’t take score. It all comes out right in the end. It’s just what we do.

[@pamkammann1176]

🙏♥️🙏

[@gailreese4699]

Jarred your momma wanted a grand child . Well you gave her one. LOL LOL LOL I know it isn't funny but It is better to laugh and except somethings instead of crying. I f Baxter doesn.t ever walk I know he will have a wonderful life.

[@maryrinks8383]

😂

[@susanhollis5015]

May the Lord cocoon your heart in His peace. That is what has kept me going. Getting older isn't for cowards. I'm about twice your age. The Lord has promised to restore to us double, everything that Satan has stolen from us! I can and do empathize with you fully, Jared! May the Lord give you the grace you need to always keep on keeping on!! 😊❤🙏

[@tyrannasmcdonald9851]

You hang in there Jared. We are all here to watch you and cheering you ALL! God love you.

[@DonnaCouture]

Hey Jared - Those of us who support you will be here no matter how long it takes to get the house done. Just do what you need to do for yourself and Baxter. I will continue to watch every one of your videos no matter what the content.

[@pamkammann1176]

Me too! Totally understand!

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Great suggestion!

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Love seeing the pond with the cannas blooming. Stay tough and well! Rest often. Everything in its times makes great things happen !

[@sherriberkley188]

Yes, Jared -Miracle Castor Oil byQueen Of The Throne. Awesome Stuff has many Usages. Heals scares, Burns, Hemorrhoids, Arthritis, Puts back Life into your Hair and Skin, so much MORE!

[@elizabethmacdonald4605]

Yes, I agree, great stuff!

[@maryellencook9528]

You're doing the best that you can, Jared. You've dealt with this for almost 37 years. As a retired RN, it sounds as if you are doing everything that you possibly can. Baxter is looking a lot better and brighter. Keep up the great work!😊

[@grannyjenny8603]

My grandmother had a sprinkler system set up on her lawn on her farm. She had a sprinkler every 20 feet. A lot of work to install but in the future, no more hoses! You are doing a fantastic job with everything that you do. You are blessed with a very loving and caring family and you know and appreciate it. Keep going as you need to go, do not worry about the negative Nancy's. The people that matter love you and know and will wait to watch whatever you are able to make for us to watch! Baxter swimming with his squeaky toy warmed so many hearts! You warm our hearts too!

[@lyndajones6113]

You know they have strollers for dogs. That would be a great investment for both of you. My sister has one and loves it.

[@rongray4847]

Good morning Jared, that video your Mom and Dad with Baxter in the pool is fantastic, sure shows there is hope. The little guy is sure getting the best of care from you guys. Baxter is going to be one spoiled little boy but rightfully so. Take care, see you next video, 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@SimplySoutherntx]

💞💞

[@anitahamm3171]

I hope your leg feels better soon. When the house is done your leg will do better. Much love from Missouri. 😊

[@lindasmith929]

I’m a LBKA I understand! Prayers for you, your family and your wonderful dogs!

[@pamsheldon29]

I just read someone else mentioning to use some BagBalm. I always had a can of this on hand when my kids were younger when they had scrapes & cuts helps heal it faster. ❤

[@mardellscott6335]

A baby stroller would be good for Baxter you could push him and he could take naps in it. I hope you are better soon. The house is looking great. Blessings from Mississippi

[@kathyreed4488]

I'm caught up w both channels...keep doing what you do!! Yr family is awesome helping you out!!

[@devonnep.7126]

Jared, you are a wonderful son. my late husband's nephew lost his leg in Vietnam from the knee down. I didn't know that having a prosthetic was so painful. I hope you can find something that will work better for you. I knew why you were walking around and working while your brother and dad were on the roof. ❤️ I would feel the same way. I would get Baxter, a baby stroller or one of those radio flyer wagons. The baby stroller would get him out of the sun more when you're going to the pool.

[@edensgarden1775]

That was a amazing video of Baxter actually moving all his legs to get to squeaky toy. The heat sucks for your leg. Sweating. Your family is the best at helping you out. Baxter is looking good 👍🏻. Peace ✌️

[@candidahl9380]

Jared, you are doing so good. Your house is coming along so nice. And that little Baxter is so cute and he is working to get better with you and your family's help. Nothing better then having your family close. Take care and big hugs to you and your fur babies.

[@OAKerri]

And yet you still literally work circles around 96% of the rest of the population. So much respect.

[@tracycrum9829]

I can't imagine how much that hurts... but as a person living with M.S. sometimes nothing compares to a long soak in a hot epson bath. Stay well, my friend 🧡 Baxter may be your spirit animal ❤ I hope you both get to feeling better soon.

[@mjperkolator8854]

I know you have a routine and a process to keep your stump well. One more suggestion is Bag balm. Farmers use it on their cows sore udders when they get them cut on fences and things in pasture. It’s made here in Vermont where I live. But I think it’s sold in farm supply stores. I use it on my feet and even hands and face especially in Winter. Hope it’s healing up!

[@kellyownby3177]

I found out about bag balm when I started quilting. Great for poor pricked fingers. Now my husband uses it on his horribly cracked hands.

[@pamkammann1176]

I found it in the pet dept at walmart years ago..

[@mellisapriesthoff1035]

You know if everyone is so worried about Jared carry that baby all the time then buy him a doggie wheel chair! Or help him get one! Baxter has to be able to get around somehow! And he’s been taking care of his leg his whole life so he knows what he’s doing! Jared I think you rock! I don’t understand cause I have both legs but I do appreciate you as a wonderful pup owner! Do what you do and take care!! All of you! House is looking great!

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Hello Jared & Baxter! I would never presume to tell ya what to do about your leg, I'm very sure you already know what ya need to do. It's very apparent that your family all help each other out as it should be! I think it's awesome how some people send ya things to help, use what ya can. Hello to the Family! Oh yeah, glad to see Jason is okay after those awful storms in OK.

[@nellew7383]

You are such a good son! And you have a great family. Blessings to all of you!

[@mary1494]

Jared, Baxter seems to be doing better.. he looks happier and more alert. I live rhe pool video, he was moving those legs.. great idea with sqeeky toy. That seems to be the best medicine. Hey, can you tell us the circumference of his girth.. the widest part. And, can you please post your P.O. box? Hang in there.. try not to be on that leg so much.. sit when you can.. like ya said, ride the lawn mower in their yards or bbq.. all that is appreciated. You work hard and aways busy.. hugs, prayers for Y'all.. please give Baxter extra.👏👍🙏❤️🤗

[@patriciahagedorn5694]

I have always admired you for all you do for your family. You are a good son and brother and in turn they want to help you. We all see what a good dad you are to Baxter and what you have done for him is a true testament of your love and kindness. When you have to slow down due to a flare up on your leg, it is totally understandable. I'm sure dad and Matt have no problem going the extra mile for you. Take care.

[@kellyfarrell8180]

I love watching that video who would OF thought the squeaky toy was the key lol that was so wonderful to see I hope your leg heals soon God Bless ❤

[@Renee406Mt]

I was so happy too see Baxter it is amazing the squeeky worked so well for little Baxter. ❤

[@pamkammann1176]

It sure made a difference in a great way! You could see he was excited , his back legs and his tail were really moving ..❤❤

[@teresia748]

The viewers suggestion for Baxter was a blessing that gave Baxter a joyful moment in life. It’s possible that someone else experience can help you out hear them out and except they are well intended for you and Baxter

[@elizabethcastello5496]

My X had a prosthetic leg, I understand everything your saying.Take it easy I'm proud of what your doing❤

[@gilmondmonroe1233]

Jared, thank you for trying to explain your problem so that we can understand. Most of us feel at a loss as to know what to say. You know your body and what needs to be done. You luck❤❤.

[@user-vg2yj5jd8w]

How is the garden and your fruit trees coming along? I love seeing all that stuff, fingers crossed Baxter continues to improve.🐶

[@AnnetteRoberts-m8r]

I am so glad little man is doing well. Tell all hi and god bless you all

[@jeremyrichards1388]

Mrs. Richards here...Been watching you for a long time, way before your move to Oklahoma. Do what you need to do to heal. But I know this is your income soooo... Heck set up a outside or inside cook station and do some cooking videos. You can do them sitting down. They sell prep tables at Walmart...that rises from 2 foot to reg. height (for after your sitting with Jared videos). There's all kinds of things you could do while relaxing that leg and I'm sure we'll be here when your rip roaring to go. Take care of yourself and the little guy. You both need it.

[@paradiselodge5523]

Look up an outdoor rolling walker with a seat. They have larger wheels and you could attach something to seat for Baxter.

[@christinestephenson1742]

Jared it just hurts my heart to know you are hurting. You are trying so hard to build your house and it is so good you are close to your family so they can help. Good thing you are building your house now while you are fairly young.

[@FlyerPatty29]

When it comes to your leg, you know what works best for you and what you need to do. The same as I do with diabetes. What works for one person doesn’t work for another and I’m sure that’s the same with with you so you keep doing what you know you need to do and praise the Lord that he will Have the least amount of pain as possible. But I want to say I’m so proud that you never give up and you just keep moving forward each day and that is so awesome. And I hope other people see they don’t need to give up by seeing people like you, you are a blessed man with your parents and your brother helping you and you’re gonna have a fine new house. And it’s gonna be really better than a shed 100%.

[@jmanonmakes]

Thank you for this video. Appreciate how open and honest you are. Always wishing the best for you, your pack, and your family.

[@charlenegrady8781]

Glad Baxter is doing better🙏🙏🙏🙏. Have a good day✌️🇺🇸

[@annettehudson3980]

My heart goes out to you I watched my dad go through the same thing and trust me he tried everything and still suffered with it. The only thing that helped him was praying🙏🏻 Take it slow love ya Have a blessed day ♥️

[@Renee406Mt]

Good morning Jared and Baxter with Tucker & Daisy in the back 😊 the video of Baxter made my heart so happy its amazing. You, Baxter and your sweet family are in my prayers.

[@reginahinkle7507]

Hi. Please find a good orthopedist to look at your callus. You might have a hidden wound under the callus. The physician needs to look inside your wound. Do not let it go on much more. I am happy Baxter hàs you to care for him! Love your channel.

[@dorisharrison9885]

Good morning,it looks so beautiful there,the weather,enjoyed watching Baxter in the pool great improvement,have a bless day😊🪻💜🇺🇸

[@debrasaints3809]

No worries. You do you! As a point ballet dancer back in my youth lambswool was the go to. Moleskin was cut up and taped around the blistered toes. It needs to heal before you use the prosthetic again, ideally. Sending prayers it heals quickly. Blessings 🙏🏼

[@patriciacarson6566]

At night. When you take your prosthetic off, take AQ tip and and put some brags. Apple cider vinegar on it. It will help the wound heal Quicker

I know you probably appreciate all the comments and concerns about your leg issues BUT... YOUR A GROWN MAN ,who had been dealing with your sisutation for a LONG time now. PLUS YOU know when you need to ho get medical attention.. You were VERY GRACEFUL in this video.. I probably would have let my mouth. Over exceeded my mind and made a LOT OF people mad.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻up to you Jared . Your one hell of a man for doing all that you do..

Jared, you have great parents and big brother who will always be there for you, and you are always there to give back and to Granny, too. I know they are very proud of you and all your accomplishments. You have never been one to sit back. Always busy doing something for someone or your own needs.

Your so respectful Jared-towards those who help you, they wouldn’t help you if they didn’t love you ….. godbless house looks wonderful . By the way. Your turn will come when you design the inside and garden take care and your time

[@lynnteneyck8487]

So I know you've heard a lot of remedies, so here's another..... My uncle had a stump simular to yours. His was calused so bad it truly hurt so bad. Well an old lady told him to get corn starch and Vaseline and mix proportions equally to make a paste. Put this on the stump it will soften the callus. Do this everyday and wrap it only at night do this. It allowed him to move so much better and without so much pain. And no doctor bills!!! Just old remedies. This is fantastic for diaper rash. So when the grand babies come along remember this!!! Best to you!!!

[@kathyreed4488]

I watched that video!!! It was awesome!! Baxter loves his squeaky toys!! Take care of yrself Jared. Rest yr leg when you need too. Prayers for Baxter and you to heal. Take yr time dear❤❤

[@deb8377]

You all are doing a great job. They know you are thankful. I pray for you and Baxter and the safety of all of you while working on your home and always. Hi to Granny!

[@dirdam122007]

I can’t imagine how you can accomplish all you do in light of your painful stump. 👍🏻🤗❤️🙏🏻❤️🤗👍🏻

[@jt2553]

If you haven’t yet, consider trying manuka honey on the sores of your stump. If you have your knee, they make knee scooters which might help you. I’m sorry you’re suffering! Thank you for sharing, it’s educational for me.

[@dawnsutherland3461]

Good morning Jared and Baxter.

[@southernbelle3995]

If you haven't tried full spectrum CBD cream, please try. I put it on my back (2 cracked vert. and arthritis) and it is amazing. I also use it on my knees. I've noticed no side effects, and it doesn't burn or sting. Within 15 min. I have relief. I've started using it before I go out to work in my yard and it seems I can work longer without back pain. Maybe it won't work, but it's worth a try. It is expensive, but you don't use much and others in the family could use it. Good luck. Hope you feel better. Baxter looked alert today. I'm glad to see that.

[@VictorPerez-uc5nj]

Thank you for opening up to us with this video. While we can't imagine what you are going through, we appreciate you sharing your situation with us. Hopefully between all of us, we will be able to hopefully find some type of product or idea to help you. On a side note, my husband was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma, which is a rare type of cancer, the doctor's were able to save his leg, but it does not bend. Like you, he misses being able to do certain things, but like I always tell him, you still can only differently. Stay strong! And House Build on!

[@dorisantwine]

Sorry about your husband, hope things get better for him.

[@rosearnold1220]

You one tough man. Admirable. You work so hard despite pain. Would you use a doggie carrier. Its looks like a baby carrier but for dogs. You would be hands free.

[@saracollette-iu3ei]

Good morning Jared. People that live in pain learn how to deal with pain much differently. And I know you understand that. People who know what it’s like. And yes, you do give back to your family as much as they do for you.

[@debraruffindesign8720]

maybe you could get one of those baby slings or doggy backpack for getting Baxter around?

[@beverlyparrott3890]

Jared i ave an ulcer on bottom of my foot and it got infected but it also has a callis that gets thick and can't walk on. But the medicine I use is 1%Silversufladiazne 1% cream. Helps to remove callis so my weight on it doesn't hurt..Also there is also stuff called AmLactin daily mositurzing dry skin has 12% Lactic Acid. Dermatologist recommended. I go to a Surgeon that recommended this he's a podiatrist. 😊❤

[@darleneingram8065]

God Bless

[@sheilabundren2037]

I was going to suggest you talking to someone else that has a prosthetic leg. I've watched one young lady with a prosthetic leg on KZbin and heard her say she had the same issue you have. Thanks for the update.

[@brendahogue5487]

Jared you can do anything you thing you set your mind to. Baxter has a great caregiver

[@maggiemagennis3507]

Something to think about if Baxter doesn't recover completely, a wheeled sling cart for dogs that have mobility problems. Probably expensive but a lot of your followers would donate to help. Hugs and love to you and Baxter.❤

[@melanieeaton3344]

Once you are finished building the house, I was thinking a lightweight wheelchair would be nice to have in the house. Maybe you have one already but that way you can cruise your house and rest your leg all at the same time.

[@kimflorell5991]

You got this and I am sure this is not your first rodeo ❤ love watching you !

[@xxscreamokittyxx8389]

Take your time.cause no matter what you are filming.the garden or the house or Baxter I'm still watching.i love your channel

[@elizabethpugh2685]

I understand you get suggestions all the time . That is because we all love watching you and hate to see you hurt. I am so proud of all you do all the time with your limitations. You are like my best friend who has a lot of health issues. You are both like the Energizer bunny, you just keep going and going. You are an inspiration to me to get motivated and get things done, even if i am hurting with my arthritis. Keep doing what YOU think best. I feel like you are a friend or like a son. I love watching your videos. Thanks for letting us into your life. I feel i know you better than my own kids.

sounds promising, he's doing better we just care about you how about making a sling like new mothers use to carry their babies to carry Baxter in front of you so you can have your hands free when you're walking. your house is coming along nicely, I know you must be excited to see the progress. What a sense of pride you will all have once it's done. the only time schedule you're on is your own, don't sweat it your cannas are pretty by the pond

I am glad you told people this...I think they need to know. A lot of people are trying to be helpful I am sure, but there are hundreds of people who never read the comments and get the answers that are already there. Or watch the older videos and get those answers...hahah. Your grass looks fine to me...I wouldn't get too excited yet. I always say that though...I like tall grass. Oh and I love the birds song in the background...those are sounds we don't get here.

[@RobertSmith-fy3ep]

YOU DO WHATS BEST FOR YOU JARED GOD BLESS

[@pamt7740]

Have you tried Baxter with a sling trolley? (I forget what they call them). The feel (if he can feel) of the grass on his paws may help him. My poor dog lost the use of his back legs and was going blind too so I had to let him go. He was 17 though and had a very happy life. He was tired, you could see it in his face.

[@Tanner5476]

Sending prayers that God sends you what you need for your leg.
