[@carlysmiles3446]

[@robingillespie4513]

[@elliebowman6132]

You've got this! Hang in there!

[@carolschultz5502]

I love that verse in the bible. I have always thought that meant that He knows when we are tired and weary. He will raise us and help us through it all.😌

[@christinadoherty3212]

Your backpack is so cute! Have you ever thought about making a Frey Life pin? Its something that we could put on our pump bags or service dog vests 💜

[@DawnOnye]

Christina Doherty or maybe make a Frey life back pack that is perfect for holding the different medical gear

[@sailorbrite]

getrealmommy or you could get the iron on decal and put it on anything you want!

[@kellykatz8617]

getrealmommy Christina, I was thinking the same thing. Mary could design a backpack that is stylish for all ages that are meant for different medical equipment. That would be amazing!!!🙀❤

[@eloweezie75]

Kat some nylon materials that are used in backpacks will melt under the heat of an iron. be super careful, maybe test a small are a first.

[@ashleycunningham8475]

Christina Doherty yesss! make a pin!

[@beverlysyferd1293]

Mary & Peter you are an inspiration to us. Bless you. Prayers continue.

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Shabbat Shalom guys! Mary, it's so heartwarming to see your spark coming back xxxx

[@Laurana07]

Mary has inspired me to start doing light work outs for some strength. So far it's really hard, but i'll get there too. Let's keep at it Mary! I got your back!

[@jodeedugger9041]

Mary you are blessed with Peter he's so sweet it's cute how well he treats you 😊

[@dawnlowery75]

you give me hope in your vision of life and how you don't let CF dictate how your gonna live, so Loving It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@allergiesrusdb]

For me, I completely understand 'Fly when you think you can't walk'. It simply means that I fly in my wheelchair when I can't walk. I keep going without letting my disability slow me down! :)

[@jmgolding9135]

Kelley Hornberger Me too! My absolute favourite adventure moment is on super flat floors (hospital one's are excellent) get going fast and stick my arms out like a plane while I "fly"!

[@jamiesingleton2844]

Kelley Hornberger haha me too, Kelley!! I fly down hill anyway!! I thought my wheelchair would be another loss, but it's actually been a gain because I can do more, and I can keep up, and I can carry stuff on my lap/on my chair instead of needing help all the time with carrying and needing people to slow down when I'm using my crutches

[@jamiesingleton2844]

JM Golding I do the same thing!! The other day I was going across campus with a professor and when went to go into the building I was giving her some sass and had my arms crossed and the sidewalk was slanted so I started rolling backwards, then the angle changed and I made a 180 and my professor and I started cracking up!

[@jmgolding9135]

Jamie Singleton Me too! I avoided a chair for the longest time and all it did was shrink my world. Way to fly!!!

[@allisonledford2321]

Kelley Hornberger I love it. I do the same!

[@PlatinumFairy]

I'm having a hard pain day today..🤕 Any Chronic Pain Warriors out there? 💜💜💜

[@jamiegoode5215]

Overactivedreamer 🙋🏼‍♂️another chronic pain warrior here. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day than today has been ❤️

[@sabinagrossman1002]

Me! I have CRPS

[@nadiah4315]

Overactivedreamer Hi, stay strong! It'll be okay, it'll get better. You can conquer this. Do what you think you can't do :)

[@nadinem8720]

Overactivedreamer - I'm hanging in there with you today. We can make it even if at only one minute at a time. Many blessings. 🙏🏻🤗🤗

[@HannahLikesGlitter]

Yes! I have lupus and lately have had increased pain but I just remember to "Fly when you think you can't walk!" Hoping your pain gets better soon!

[@amclaudet]

Adorable wreath and flower jars! You both are beautiful souls. Peter you care for her so selflessly!

[@taniacanal9751]

I once saw a small child with one of those bags but it had his breathing machine in it. His mom had sewn patches on it for him so it would look like a regular little kids backpack and at least from behind he looked "normal" but from the front he had the breathing tubes up his nose. Really sweet cute boy. That was like 10 years ago and from time to time I wonder what happened to him and hope that he is a thriving teenager.

[@emilyneal92]

I would love a Fly When You Think You Can't Walk decal.

[@XK_tyX]

Emily Neal me too :)

[@laurenpayne8194]

Emily Neal me too!!!

[@nicktheveganchick]

Definitely. :)

[@kittymervine6115]

it doesn't make sense, except to all of us! I say make that decal!

[@TheBeccajb]

I would too.

[@LUVonsies4reborns]

it's a peace that passeth all understanding, it's the love that the world doesn't understand, receive it, for you, His love He gives to you!!! May God continue blessing you! Hope you've had a good week and have a great weekend! My prayer is that the Lord continue shining His light on you and give you strength, also all those around you!!!

[@shirleycollins3930]

I love Peter's encouraging words to Mary. It is so apparent how much he loves her. I am not well myself and Peter's words and caring heart reminds me of my own husband. A wonderful loving spouse is such a precious blessing from God. Love you and praying for you daily. 😘

[@phoenixgate007]

Thanks for being a source of inspiration Mary. I was singing "do what you think you can't do, uh huh" today. Then I got a terrible sinus headache and I was reminded of all of the days when you have taken the time to rest, because it is part of our job. When you don't feel well sometimes need to take a break. And sometimes you need to fly when you think you can't walk. I have done both because of your hope and strength. Thank you Peter and Mary for sharing your lives with us.

[@raistlinismyspiritanimal921]

Mary every time you talk about "fly when you think you can't walk"it think back to the song "on eagle's wings" (we played this at both my brother and his fiancee's funerals) it talks about how the Lord lifts you up protects you and guides you. I'm by no means a very religious person but I still find it gives me a feeling of peace when I hear it and it's a great song!💙💖

[@joannesahadeo6683]

I love you guys! I also have a number of chronic health problems, and I understand the whole continuous chest infection thing and crackling when you breathe. When I was pregnant with my baby, I had pre eclampsia so badly, I was literally drowning in my lung from the fluid my body was dumping into it. I should have died many times that day, but I know for sure that God got me through it. I have never felt so connected to Him as I did that day. I was calm during the delivery of my premature baby, despite blood pressure of 195/155 and a ruptured artery. God does amazing things. I lost my baby boy to sids six weeks later, but this relationship with God is what has pulled me through. In the darkest times, He is always with you, and the power is amazing. You really have to experience it to know the peace of spirit only He can give. You guys are beautiful, and doing amazingly. I hope that God continues to bless you both and thankyou for sharing your life with us. p.s.. Mary your yoga was super impressive! seriously! well done sweatpea! Love to all of you xxxx

[@GreysonNekrutmandrums]

Fly when u think u can't walk shirt!!!! Drum roll to that!! And especially bc it totally doesn't exactly make sense but that is y it is so great eye catching and awesome!🐸🐸🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@briannamwod]

I absolutely love that saying and have been using it in my daily life! Living with chronic pain, even the thought of walking most days is exhausting but then I think of 'flying' instead. It's the idea of pushing through the pain and living anyways! Thank you for always inspiring me!

[@armywife4life78]

Being chronically ill myself my faith gets me through every day when I start feeling sorry for myself and wanting to just give up. Mary, your courage and seeing Peter's love for you gives me strength. Love you guys!!

[@janaye7iverson]

Peter: "It doesn't" I laughed so hard! 😂😂😂 laugh everyday

[@ancientcanopies]

Fly when you think you can't walk has been my mantra today, had a rough day at work (had some mental health issues, worst ever timing) and that little song got me through my day and helped me re-lift my spirits

[@christinadoherty3212]

Julie Williams Hang in there! 💜 I hope that tomorrow is a better day

[@ancientcanopies]

Thank you

[@phyllisaleshire4460]

thanks for your spiritual reference.... Christ has gotten me through this far and will never forsake me! I love you both and pray for you....what an inspiration you are!!! love and hugs! Phyllis

[@HannahLikesGlitter]

So glad you seem to be doing better with this NJ than the last one. You and Peter (and Oliver!) have been helping me so much emotionally and spiritually with your videos. Sometimes I feel so lonely or it'll really hit me again that I'll be sick for the rest of my life and I come and watch your videos. They help me feel like I'm not alone and remind me that I can do this. Going through this made my heart ache for Christ and you two have really helped me on my journey to know him and be a better Christian. You've impacted my life so much and you don't even know it. I'm so thankful for you both and I hope you're having a lovely day.

[@christinadoherty3212]

HannahLikesGlitter Hang in there! Its so hard when you are faced with the grief of mourning the life you thought you would have. You will be in my thoughts and prayers 💜

[@marygrace8835]

Being someone that's struggling with anxiety and depression- I have been reciting "do what you think you can't do" and "fly when you think you can't walk" to get my through the day!!! I would love to have those sayings on a shirt or something

[@Rubygirl2013]

I love "fly when you think you can't walk!" I would totally where that on a tshirt!!

[@ksjuve]

the quote "fly when you think can't walk" has really hit home for me and I love it. Hugs.💟

[@rosemarys2465]

Mary and Peter...I admire you so much. Keeping you in prayers daily and always looking forward to your next video. Love to Oliver as well.

[@louisesproul2130]

You can have hope knowing one day your body will be perfect, healthy and NEVER IN PAIN AGAIN too!! Love you both!

[@annaroper2864]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying this. I have Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease and am so incredibly sick and have been for years. Treatment is excruciating and there is no end date. This is beautiful...you brought tears to my eyes and inspired me so much. Thank you 💚

[@louisesproul2130]

Anna Roper, Jesus promised us once we meet Him in Heaven every tear will be dried, and we will be transformed into our PERFECT BODIES!!! If nothing else just remember, He NEVER LIED!! Satan is the father of all illness and diseases! But for now, trust and believe in His healing power!! I have a sister, a cousin in law, a a brother in Christ at church who all had a different form of cancer, all three were miraculously healed!! Have faith, Jesus bore all our pain and suffering on the cross, REMEMBER, BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED!! Nothing is too big for our Lord to heal!!!!

[@deborahhartman7548]

Flying tonight even in pain. Fun night with ladies from church!

[@leeleah8167]

Deborah Hartman have fun

[@2listening1]

There was a wild turkey near where I used to work who could walk, but he limped when he walked, but flew perfectly, and I always think of him when you say "Fly when you think you can't walk!" :)

[@StaticWolfGirl1]

Can I just take a moment to appreciate Peter? It always astounds me at how loving, understanding, and helpful he is! He never acts like anything is any kind of inconvenience to him, and that is so incredibly admirable. You can truly see God's love shining through his life. I see Mary thanking him all the time, but I wanted to take a moment to send him a big ol THANK YOU from The People ,as well, because he surely deserves it! Thank you, Peter! May you be blessed for your patience, and understanding, and may your cup be always overflowing with blessings (Psalm 23:5)!!!

[@graceday7203]

"Do what you think you can't do." So thankful for both of you (and Ollie!) and I think of you every time I face a challenge. Thank you for your great example. God bless you!

[@juliacoffa]

This blog made me cry! Watching you and Peter every day, gives me such hope and faith! And hearing you quote Isaiah 40:31 was so amazing! I quote that passage on a daily basis! Love it :) Constantly praying for you two!

[@kittymervine6115]

I really can't believe with just dollar store items you made such a wonderful wreath. I like the rope in there... it breaks it up, and shows more of the moss, you didn't cover it all up with flowers. Great job.

[@shizukarisu]

I've had this phrase stuck in my head the past few days, I really like it, it should be on a t-shirt or tote bag like others have said. You two are so uplifting.

[@YeshItsCourtney]

Theres a quote on Firefly, and it reminds me of it. "When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - when you can't do that...you have someone carry you"

[@christinadoherty3212]

Courtney Paige I was literally just thinking of this!

[@YeshItsCourtney]

Christina Doherty Hahahahhaahah OG MAN ITS THE OG. I miss firefy so much

[@silverbeowulf5601]

Courtney Paige I mentioned this when she was in the hospital!

[@pennyburdick7651]

Mary idk what to say but I'm so so proud of you.

[@Netsrk1211]

Your saying "fly when you think you can't walk" always makes me think of Psalm 91/Isaiah 40:31. The Lord is with you through this and the grace and courage you both face everyday with is proof of that.

[@carolbeatty8085]

Your wreath is beautiful Mary, it reminds me spring is just around the corner! 🙏🏼💕🌞✌🇨🇦🎀

[@MFF901]

Mary", you fly when you do all your exercise.Through God all things are possible.Love watching.Margaret from Florida.😀💝.

[@emmarodriguez5300]

I completely understand when you say fly when you can't walk is because I can't. Love and praying for you Mary that your NJ tube stays down. Also Peter I've been enjoying your message videos. Thanks for letting God use your life to minister to those you reach through the videos like me. Both you and Mary have been such a blessing in my life love you guys.

[@deborahboudreaux8447]

You are looking well Mary! Pray for you both each and everyday. You often cross my mind!

[@DawnOnye]

Hope is the wings of an eagle, so when you feel you can't walk...you fly in the sense that you have hope for better days to come and faith in knowing that they will.

[@christinadoherty3212]

getrealmommy 💜

[@nicktheveganchick]

Love that.

[@T4Tyson]

The verse Isaiah 40:31 is a verse that has gotten me through a lot. I have been diagnosed with Dysautonomia: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome since 2011 (symptoms started in 2008), which caused me many problems. Among them, was that I would pass out many times a week. This caused me to lose strength on my left side, digestion problems, inability to gain weight or keep it on, and also had the inability to speak for a few days after an episode. I have not had a fainting episode in almost 2 years and am really giving it all up to Jesus's healing power over my body. I taped that verse to my wall and used to speak it out when I was feeling poorly. Thank you for that reminder of that verse. I'll keep praying it over you as well!

[@randyllarson]

Praise the Lord that's the best explanation I have ever heard about Jesus live it believe it and you will soar with the almighty! !

[@laurahaworth7086]

Oh I would love a "fly when you think you can't walk" decal too.

[@klhaugen22]

Walking is done in your own strength, flying is using the air, the unseen, to move you to heights you would never be able to attain yourself.

[@christinadoherty3212]

klhaugen22 I love this!

[@nicktheveganchick]

Makes sense! :)

[@crystalessex3954]

klhaugen22 that's beautiful

[@kathyparten3979]

Mary & Peter u inspire me with the grace and lifted spirit u demonstrate. I sounds silly but dealing with my sever mental illness me jealous of your physical symptoms. The out side world understands those alot better.

[@SweetXOXO31]

I seriously just love you both. 💗 I love watching how involved Peter is and how knowledgeable he is with every single thing about your health & care! I also loved to see his Mom visit & do some cooking for you guys. I had asked in a previous vlog how your families help you with your care? But I didn't get a response? Like, are there people who offer to bring Mary to her clinics or give Peter a "break" by doing some appointments or staying a night at the hospital with Mary during the longer stays so he can catch up on things? Anyway- just admire both of you be well, until tomorrow!! Lots of Love from your fellow "Mass-hole" lmao 😂

I use a larger hydration backpack as I needed one to fit my larger feeding pump and my IV NS bags and I use a carabiner to hold my feed bag in place (it's huge 1.5L). But I have an infinity pump as well I got second hand for travelling and I just went on Amazon and got the two litre version of what you have now! I've been looking for one at a good price for two years now! Thanks to you guys I now will have it on Tuesday. Yay!

[@debbieschlemmer2746]

Good job with your Yoga Mary! You are sooo flexible. :-) Your house looks so cozy and warm and comfortable, and with the fireplace going, perfect. I love your wreath! I like to do silk flower arranging too, such a good accomplished feeling when it's all complete. Peter, you are so sweet like always, and helping Mary clear her lungs too. Love and hugs to the 3 of you, see you tomorrow!

[@Happydaily24]

Just spent 3 hrs doing a speedy catch up from the beginning! Mary you are just unrelentingly kicking ass out of cf! I knew next to nothing and I've learnt so much. Peter your a angel and you guys are so lucky to have each other. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing so much the good bad and ugly. Also Mary your hair looks gorgeous curly like in the hospital tour! I'm now hooked can't wait for the next vlog ❤️

Random Fact: Hummingbirds can fly but can't walk. ETA: What if you did a hummingbird print with the "Fly when you think you can't walk" caption :D

[@MsMOLLYKINS]

Most disabled people in my world have no idea what you mean. I do , to me it means on days when my legs just will not carry me another once that I walk a meter .my body no longer cooperates but I still try very hard ... Find the joy in the little things xoxox

[@cmgraham]

Molly Mayor well put..God bless💕

[@jmgolding9135]

Molly Mayor I know exactly what you mean. Keep trying - when thing are hard everything you do is a success! You GO! Prayers coming your way, J

[@brittmicholas4251]

Yes, I get the idea of that saying and I love it! For me it makes me think of my case, I survived a stroke at the age of 25. My family was told by doctors that I wouldn't survive and that there wasn't any hope. But, my mother is a strong educated Christian and wouldn't except that and my family wouldn't either. So the praying began and by Gods grace I survived and continue to shock doctors with my continued recovery. So I couldn't walk before but, I was soaring because I was alive. And I'm not fully recovered yet but, I'm still soaring by pushing on.

[@JordanHeil-jp9wu]

I used this quote for an art project. My art teacher put it up in the hallway in the 'why take an art class' display case. It's also my wallpaper. It inspires me every single day.

[@haert2home1]

How 'bout "Frey when you think you can't walk!"

[@Suki7stars]

Thanks for showing the yoga, although I wish it was slower. I love the Bible verse you shared, about eagle's wings-that's one of my faves, too! It's one that really encourages me, since I've been on crutches for 14 mths. I'm glad to see you ABLE to do yoga, that's awesome!

[@mariadunton4760]

You guys are so adorable and funny, thank you for making my day! 😄

[@REDUNICORNKNIGHT]

Hey Mary, just wanted to say just keep on going, because God is with you every step of the way, and He will take care of you, you are a blessing to all those who watch your you tube video's, because you never give up, MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE EVERY DAY.

[@jaydamclaren7257]

I love your vlogs! im a newer subscriber but loving every video. so uplifting! Mary, you should make a video just on your yoga and what moves you do to strengthen what, etc. 💜

[@kayceadmire4240]

Hi Mary and Peter! thank you for making my day. I hope you have a great day

[@desireedoubleyou]

So the bag you got Mary was so expensive bc its a "Camelbak", which are super useful and popular when at a festival or camping or hiking...basically anytime when it comes to having water with you at all times when it would normally be hard or inconvenient. Im sure a normal, regular backpack would be a whole lot cheaper but why, so long you have something that works well for you & your needs! 👍👍

[@TheCornDavis]

Marked Isaiah 40:31 in my bible! You guys have a little part in my spiritual life! It's kinda cute haha I wrote "fly when you think you can't walk - The Frey Life" on the side! Love that mantra and love you guys! Don't forget to smile!

[@2Blessed]

I'm so glad to see that the feeding tube seems to be helping - you seem perkier now than you were before your last hospital stay. My digestive disorder often causes me to have trouble eating/no appetite, but I haven't been able to get any help because I am still considered overweight. I eat very little, and just have absolutely no energy. I can imagine it would make a big difference in your energy levels!

[@makaylabaker3032]

I love how the first 10 seconds of the vlog already made me smile

[@mrssmurf55]

I love that poem about the foot steps in the sand have you heard of that one !

[@brittsherrycovington7163]

Hey guys! Have a great weekend!

[@jenniferprice-ganoni7664]

thanks for making me smile on a bad day!! ❤❤

[@cclaussen]

Is the throat pain better with this new tube placement?

[@bobbihammett7823]

My son uses a big feeding backpack like the one you showed. It's for a two bag system one for fuel and one for a flush bag of water. That bag is super hard to find and crazy expensive. He uses a wheelchair so carrying it isn't a problem. In the past I have adapted plenty of bag and insulated cooler bags with sewing clips into the top of the bag to hold the bag without it getting pinched or kinked. I add ice packs in the summer. So glad you are getting the fuel your body needs.

[@tboozier85]

2 things! 1) I love your shirt! 2) as an asmatic I totally get the fly when you think you can't walk! and I have loved it since you first said it!

[@FloridaGrandma]

I took the Fly When You Think You Can't Walk to mean that just because you can't do something the way you always have doesn't mean you can't do something at all. You just need to find another way to do what you wanted. I'm praying for you. I just wish it wasn't always 1 step forward, 2 steps back with your treatments. I know that there are moments you just want to give up or hide and cry but you push through those feelings and Do What You Think You Can't Do. You are such an inspiration and just flat out amazing. BTW, you should make wall decals of your sayings/songs like Do What You Think you Can't Do and Fly When You Think You Can't Walk. And you should copyright them as well. I would love a wall decal of "Do What You..." song/saying for my bedroom wall. Anyway, God bless.
