First IV Antibiotics in 5 Years | Unexpected Health Update

[@karencristobal4999]

Honestly just that statement: “we r on our way to pick up our kids” Crazy. Crazy wonderful.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@lucyjohnson1636]

5 years ago i was a senior in high school watching you two every day, now I've been out of college for almost a year, it feels like a million years ago and also just the other day.

[@jessicajarsak7812]

It’s so weird not seeing Ollie with you. Five years is a good stretch for not going on IV antibiotics. You two are doing so good and staying busy with the two kids. I miss seeing you more often but I’m so happy you’re doing better than five years ago.

[@kathikamholz2100]

😢😢😢 I miss Ollie too

[@correysuladie8956]

I have CF and I havent done IVs in 15 years. My lung function was very low 30s before starting Trikafta in Dec 2019 and I still didnt need IVs thankfully.

[@teijaflink2226]

It's wonderful and exciting to see they have two kids now but definitely miss seeing Ollie too, he was a part of this channel.

[@junbh2]

​@@teijaflink2226As far as I know they only have one child, Elijah. They are acting as foster parents for a baby as well though.

[@joleneblake7807]

Why isn’t Ollie with her anymore is he retired

[@katherynkennedy5881]

You have no idea how much I miss your blogs. I've followed you as my "first blog family", added others as the years went by. You make me smile. Prayers for your health Mary.

[@parkerbryan185]

five years?!?! and i’ve been watching since long before that!!! i can’t believe it’s been so long!

[@arabellasplace3823]

5 years, WOW I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU GUYS THE WHOLE TIME❤

[@Orpur.e]

Oh my god it's been five years since transplant evaluation 😮😮 I've grown with your videos and I'm soo happy to see you on KZbin, thank you so much for sharing a peace of your life with us

[@dreamskye1983]

Hang in there Mary. I've been around since before you guys moved. I am here not just for the medical stuff, but also because you and Peter put out such wholesome content that brings joy- even in the hard things.

[@kristawineburner5016]

Been here for so many years! My Ollie boy is on display in my livingroom with pictures of my fur babies that have passed. Hearing Peter cough and not you Mary is so strange! I hope your body does so well with you iv meds, with no side effects!

[@lezup]

Praying that the antibiotics do their job. Five years was a great run. It’s been amazing to see you do so well with trikafta. Have some quality time with your kids.

[@celticfairy9225]

You’ve got this Mary! I’ll be praying for you! Sending big hugs!

[@gthornton3]

We all miss you guys But I know you are super bzy with the boys. LOVE YOU GUYS. I’m getting chills watching you. I have tears of joy in my heart.

[@bethannslusser4254]

I have had my own miracle like you Mary! I was in a coma, on a ventilator and dying in March of 2020. God sent my brother to tell me that I would survive. I spent a year on dialysis and had heart surgery. It was a long way back but I am living my best life! I still have health issues but nothing like I faced before. My quality of life is so much better! I try to stay positive and not squander the beautiful gift that God has given me. I am also on the transplant list for a kidney but so far I have managed to keep off dialysis. You have always used the tools that your team has recommended so well. I learned that lesson from watching your videos! Going on IV antibiotics is one such tool and you will face it like a boss!! You got this Mary!!

I pray you get all the things (kidney) you need as fast and safe as humanly possible! And I pray you're able to stay off dialysis til that kidney comes! Great big hugs and loves you you!

[@cherylrhone3407]

Wow!! Five years already. Where does time go. I hope everything worked out good for you. I’m sure by now you’re running, and playing with the boys. It seems funny to hear you say you have nothing to vlog about. We always loved watching you bake bread, or make new dishes, your paintings, little adventures, gardening, and you, and Peter, dance. I do understand your time is different, and you have little helpers. I’m so thankful for these past two that you’ve shared. God bless all of you. Big warm hugs & love sent. 💖💙

[@lisatowan4536]

I'm so sorry that you have to go back on IV antibiotics, but I am so glad that you had a nice year run without them. I'm praying that your body responds well and that you are back on track. I started watching you guys back in the basement days. At the time, I was perfectly healthy. Nearly 5 1/2 years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer (now stage 4). I have twinned with you on so many issues (facing a terminal illness, having a port and frequent infusions, bone marrow suppression and neupogen shots, splenomegaly, lung issues, breathing treatments, malnutrition, and struggling to maintain weight, etc). Watching you go through these things has been invaluable in showing me what to expect. You have also shown me that you can tackle health crises with strength, grace, humor, and positivity. Thanks for sharing your journey. Praying for continued good health. Enjoy those beautiful boys.

[@Joy.Elizabeth]

I can relate too. also been watching the frey life for many years and it's helped me facing my own struggles w dealing w lifelong diseases. you're right they really show n inspire strength n Grace. praying for your healing 💜🙏

I miss you guys ♥️ I took a one year break from KZbin a couple of years ago and I almost fell off my chair when you guys adopted a baby. I thought for sure that Mary would be talking about health struggles but it was so different. Life takes funny turns sometimes! I’m logging off for one year again! See you October 14, 2025! It gives me peace to take a break from my phone and social media. Can’t wait to see an update from you both in 1 year! Thank you for always being my favourite KZbinrs!

[@ladytracyanne796]

Its been a very long time since u guys have updated us,i know your busy but a little update would put all our minds at ease 😊 There are thousands of people that have watched u for years including myself and are concerned about Mary's health Even if its just a community post to let us know that you're ok Sending you much love and hugs 🤗

[@kristianwillson6185]

[@OurMessyHouse]

We started trikafta last September with our little guy. We just had to do our first round of oral antibiotics this last week. What a blessing it’s been to be off the antibiotics for a while.

[@frankiekohl1593]

So what I'm hearing is that tricafta works for a while then your body gets used to it. That's very unfortunate, do they up your dosage? I am medically retired and have an autoimmune Disease. My illness never goes a few months without reminding me that it's here a.k.a. Hospital visits Doctor visits Doctor telephone appointments. I got covid in November like 6 months ago and I had poor circulation in my hands and feet. And this December that just passed they had to agitate my right index finger and now at go to therapy for that and mentally this has been a hard place for me to get over but I am very slowly. Glad I couldn't vent here miss you Mary and Peter.

[@OurMessyHouse]

@@frankiekohl1593 It actually works perfectly! Before Trikafta a person with CF would likely be on antibiotics+ more often than not. Going on oral antibiotics once in 9 months when your used to a week gap in between rounds is nothing short of a miracle 🙌

Seeing your family flourish has been incredible. I’m interested to see how IVs go especially since its been so long plus first IV coarse with the new port. 5 years is good streak without IVs, but I’m sure emotionally that has to be difficult. I hope everything goes smoothly.
