Hospital Day #2 - Solving My Starvation (5/18/17)

[@bryonymason3104]

I'm not religious, but you're always in my thoughts ❤️❤️❤️

[@kaseymmb]

ditto☺️❤️

[@sweetally4]

Same 💕💕💕

[@GlenHunt]

You do look SO much more hydrated! And Judd, as one who wears a mask, I can see the pain and concern through yours. Bro hug, my friend.

[@h7amethyst7]

You have more color on you than yesterday. I hope they come up with a good feeding option. All the Best. Keep fighting. I hope you feel better soon.

[@BeverleyButterfly]

I'm so thankful that you are finally getting help and they are putting plans in place. Judd looks so much more relaxed and joking again which stops me worrying too much. Glad you got to see Harlow too xxx

[@lucy714]

I'm so glad the doctors and nurses are taking such good care of you and that they're at least able to treat your symptoms a little. I really hope the erythromycin will start to work soon and if not, the feeding tube you mentioned sounds like it would really give you a lot of relief and hopefully get you through this flare. I wish you, Judd and Harlow all the best. You are incredibly strong, you can do this! On another note, I'm incredibly impressed and proud of you for still being able to film, edit and upload the vlogs. You should be very proud of yourself!

[@lucy714]

And a huge congratulations to you Jaquie for getting 65 patrons on your Patreon page, that's amazing! :D

[@StephanieSilva-rv7ct]

Those of us with emetophobia (fear of vomit) appreciate that we can follow along with your story and trust we'll be spared the visuals of such symptoms. Wish you could be spared the symptoms, too. Hang in there.

[@nikidisman4706]

I may not have the same chronic illnesses as you do but I understand what you are going through and I hope your team figures out a solution soon and gets you on the road to recovery. I just want to say how appreciative I am to Judd for being by your side thru all this and how much support he gives you how much he does for you is amazing way to go Judd your the MVP

[@thestaralchemistanimelover2164]

I'm telling practically everyone I know to pray for you. Your attitude about everything is super encouraging, and I'm so very grateful for your channel. Thank you for spreading awareness for these illnesses and just know that at the very least, I'm praying for you, Judd, and Harlow.

[@kelseyelizabeth536]

Praying for you to feel like yourself again and get some relief from those symptoms. You are so inspiring! Your attitude about life and your positivity really helps me when I feel like complaining about something stupid. I'm so thankful you made this channel and that I found it because of Harlow. I have a 1 year old golden retriever and started following all the golden Instagrams I could find and Harlow was one of them. :) I love watching your videos and learning something new each time. Thank you for being you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@claireelizabethblake8911]

Hang in there, sweet girl! You got this!

[@margarettrevino3625]

Oh sweetie don't you worry one little bit about responding to us! Your only focus is REST and doing what that GI team suggests for you! Terribly worried about you but all of my positive thoughts are for you and sending huge amounts of healing vibes to you darlin' lots of love!!!

[@Pretendkid]

Take it easy Jaquie! The fact that you take the time to record at all and upload vlogs is incredible and we are so grateful for the updates and to hear your story.

[@Lavi0623_]

Oh hey, you're at a hospital that I've gone to before. I've had reoccurring flare-ups of pancreatitis for the past few months that put me in the hospital 4 days each time. The first few times I went to Blake, but the last time I went to the one you're at. The nurses and doctors there, from my experience, were a lot nicer and got things taken care of faster. I'm glad that they've been able to help you with the symptoms so far and I hope you feel better soon!

[@abbyeastland]

Sending you love! I also have GP and Type 1 Diabetes (x27 years), autonomic dysfunction, CRPS, and a few other odds and ends. I've had ketoacidosis more times than I can remember. Always super painful. Just know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you, Judd, and Harlow. My husband, my service dog Mattie and I are keeping you utmost in our hearts.

[@armywife4life78]

Praying for you my chronically Ill sister. I just adore Judd too. I hope that you get good news tomorrow. Stay strong!

[@felixledger-beadell7378]

Sending you lots of well wishes. You will overcome this hurdle with the strength and determination you use to get through every testing time. I constantly admire your choice to share your health battles, not only because it raises awareness, but also makes people like myself not feel so alone. So thank you! I hope you manage to get some of your symptoms under control and even though hospitals are frustrating, sometimes the help is needed! Sending lots of love to Judd and Harlow too x

[@ravenmun]

Stay strong Jaquie! We continue to pray for you, and hope you are feeling better today. Even if just baby steps, we won't stop praying for the best outcome so that you can get back to your life and enjoy a day free from as many symptoms as possible! Sending love and positive thoughts!

[@miishoiiscool7]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us as I am sure it is not easy especially when you are in the hospital & dealing with your symptoms. You are an inspiration to so many. Thank you ❤️❤️

[@CarolinaGirlie313]

Girl, I don't know how you do it. I've been watching your vlogs for a month or two now I think? You are so inspiring and so strong. I am so sorry that you are struggling and I will be praying for you to get relief soon!

[@nicambroise2473]

I never know what to say, but through every video of yours that I've watched, there are so many moments you share during which I feel so many things. Understanding and comradery for the times when I've been in the same position; empathy and compassion for all the times you decide not to give up hope despite the obstacles, as well as the times you allow yourself to recognize how much you may be struggling; more than anything, an immense amount of love that I can only hope will make it to you and your family. I'm getting to the point in my comment where I would normally delete the whole thing and not say a word... but I'll just leave it as is, because I want you to feel how much each of us believe in you and respect you. Take care.

[@horseshorseing7175]

I pray you find the right way to solve your food issue! I'm also glad you're in the hospital now, it seems to be the best for you💓 God bless!

[@bethwindows3509]

day #? with battling with the pain of my wisdom teeth removal.... today we discovered a nasty infection.... you are the only thing that is bringing me joy..... I am praying for you

[@bitnah3179]

I'm always thinking about you and wishing you the best. Watching your videos helps me with my health issues. I admire your gratitude in the midst of it all. I'm trying to be more like you in that aspect. Nothing but the best wishes for you!

[@oliviaapplegate3]

You are not doing well but, we all know your okay because you upload! I can not say "get better" but I can say "I hope for the best". Prayers for you!

[@emilydana5021]

We love you and are praying for you. Hang in there!

[@angelaguinto1302]

LOVE YOU SO MUCH JAQUIE! You're Such an inspiration to so much people! Will pray for you !🙏🏼 ~Angela

[@Speakeronwheels]

JACQUIE YOU ARE SO SWEET! i HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER!!!

[@sherylbradley8854]

wow! that reminds me of my last pregnancy. I couldn't keep anything down for days. they gave me suppositories that helped. I'm glad you got IV nutrition. that helped me when I was overdosed with toxins. I hope they find fixes for all of your issues so you can live your life fully. hugs from indiana.

[@lexiklein23]

Your support system is so sweet! Praying for you Jaq! I hope you feel better so so soon!! 💞💞 You're so strong!!! 💞💞

[@vikkibee7456]

I really hope you are feeling better soon! I've only just caught up with your videos and really sad to see you had to go back to hospital but really glad they are caring for you well! You, Judd and Harlow are in my thoughts! Wishing you a speedy recovery! 💕💕💕

[@krissicaselin9867]

I don't believe in God, but I am praying for you to whoever is there. I hope you're feeling better tomorrow and I'll keep you in my thoughts x

[@wt0416]

hope you feel better and get discharged soon. i pray every day for you. i'm sooo happy to see your vlogs everyday. we all love hearing about your day!! stay strong｡ there has to be an option. the bathroom is kinda too far away for you. i don't wanna hear you pass out again. i pray really hard that you don't get that feeding tube, but if thats the very last option, then i really hope it helps.

[@TassieM12]

Praying for you Jaquie! I hope you get more answers today. Love you guys!

[@selenas2014]

Jaquie even though your unable to eat it is good to see you and Judd in better spirits!

[@loverclementine]

I have severe gastroparesis and I currently have an NJ tube, it has been an absolute blessing, I haven't thrown up since (cause I'm not using my stomach) and I feel like I got a little bit of myself back. I am getting surgery to place a J-tube on Monday since the NJ is working amazingly. I hope they can find the right plan for you.

[@EmiRenee36]

Jaquie, I just want to say how awesome it is to see someone being so thankful and appreciative, especially in the face of some intensive treatments. I subscribed today, and I look forward to seeing you and your family conquer your symptoms and treatments 🤗

[@danielacruz8489]

You got this ! Hope you get better and better until you feel great! I am still always praying for you to get better!

[@carolinesantos1165]

I've been watching your videos and I'm amazed on how you are such a great inspiration for others that have chronic illness. I will be keeping you in my prayers and sending healing hugs your way.

[@vibarao2406]

I hope you get better soon... And your treatments kick in to support you better... It is okay if you aren't able to reply or keep up with the comments... We all get it... Uploading a wonderfully edited Vlog every single day by itself is quite demanding... Lots and lots of love!!

[@facemonkey13]

Hang in there, Jaquie. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for a complete turnaround for your gastroparesis. I admire your strength and positivity through all of this. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@karenratcliff5706]

Jaquie - saying prayers. I'm sorry you are in the hospital again and that you are so very weak. It breaks my heart and I know it is difficult on you both that Judd has to be at work. I am so thankful you are at a place where you are somewhat comfortable and they are doing a good job managing most of your symptoms. Wish I could do more than just saying prayers. I hope you get some rest tonight and tomorrow is a more positive experience. You do look better than yesterday with the added fluids!. Keeping you in my thoughts!!!

[@JoyBetancourt]

We love you and we're praying for you ♥️ hoping things get better for you soon, Jaquie.

[@jaylendlhane4797]

I hope your day is going well today. I stay up late to catch your video because at least i know you're somewhat okay if you post

[@debbiesanderson9466]

Have you spoken to Mary (The Frey Life). She had a feeding tube fitted recently and she has CF xx My partner had one as well and he uses it for top up nutrition drinks and all his medication and it's working really well. Taking the pressure off the need to force food down makes life much easier. Good luck with your decision and hopefully you will be home very soon xx

[@apriltatum5543]

Debbie Sanderson Mary is also getting a new med for GP, something that sounds like Dom Perdom. It is from Canada. Watch Mary's video from yesterday. Feel better.

[@ecologist_to_be]

Debbie Sanderson She mentioned in a vlog the med Mary might be going on is very risky for Jaquie

[@thekawaiicripple]

+April Tatum it's called domparidone :) funny enough the med was originally used to help breastfeeding mom's who have problems with lactating but then drs discovered the side effect of increased motility. Only downside is it's potential to effect your heart especially if you already have issues which is why it didn't get FDA approved in the US but there's forms they can use to get it from Canada several years ago before I was 100% TPN and had complete digestive tract paralysis my doctor was able to get it from a compounding pharmacy it helped for a little while anythings worth a try! 💖

[@thekawaiicripple]

Only if it's safe of course everyone is different and everyone has different conditions and complications and what not I'm glad Jaquie has a wonderful medical team though and I'm sure they'll choose whatever the best option is for her :) love and positive vibes to everyone!

[@95Amelia10]

Your skin color looks better than the previous day! I'm glad you're in good care in the hospital and your doctors are working hard to find better solutions for you! Will put you in my Sunday School's prayer request this Sunday

[@emmarodriguez5300]

Your in my continuous prayers that they find something to help you get better with your gastroperizies. Love and prayers going out for you Jacquie.

[@izzyg441]

I really hope you feel better. Keeping you and your family in our prayers.

[@jj4christ]

Starving is scary, been there before (severe IBD) and so sorry 😐 your going through this. You are in my prayers. Hugs very gentle ones and will hope you get rest. I have been on dicyclomine for severe small bowel and large bowel spasms. I have severe motility issues after 15 surgeries usually going through too quickly but if a blockage or fistula forms it can go backwards. So much empathy and positive thoughts coming your way. I hate nausea and vomiting so much. Extremely painful and what a warrior you are to be so present and calm in this. I have had feeding tubes and TpN. I like the tube over the TpN personally. Both have benefits and drawbacks. Hugs and prayers!

[@itsjustme7169]

Hang in there girl! Praying for you.

[@erinnbrown9662]

Praying for you! And your family! So hope you are starting to feel alittle better! I'm so grateful that they are able to help you feel better, while they are getting a plan together. I know this is so hard on you and Judd! You got this! I have faith this is just a little bump in the road!!

[@jeniromero1949]

You're such a beautiful soul my dear. God will be by your side as you face many trials and knowing that you & Judd have many people praying for the both of you. I enjoy your vlogs and I am dealing with some of the same issues, and I believe in you... so stay strong and just know that you are loved by many around the world ❤

[@marieked]

I'm glad you're getting help. I pray they find a good solution to get you fed again. Hugs from Canada.

[@MissaLVT]

Keeping you in my prayers. God's got this and you! Keep hangin' in there.

[@dixier4035]

Sending many happy thoughts and hugs. I can relate, and I know what this feels like. You are not alone. There are many of us sending as much strength to you as we can. You've got this. This bad spell will pass. You are amazing. Feel better soon.

[@georgiarenee1643]

Hope you feel better soon Jacquie!

[@rockettex6404]

Girl you got this! You're going to look back on this one day and think about how dramatically you've improved! Finding that perfect treatment protocol takes time, but I have no doubt in my mind that you and your doctors will get there soon. Til then, lean on your support systems and try to find one thing every day that was better than the day before (even if it's something like your hair is on point haha!).

[@phoebebrunt5971]

I really don't have any idea of the hell that your body is putting you through, but I have been through starvation due to anorexia. Albeit for a different reason I recognise some of the symptoms that your having to fight and I feel for you so much x You are so positive though, and despite such issues you really inspire me to keep fighting for my health. Best wishes to all three of you x

[@emilyarredondo3246]

Jackie, you are so strong! You encourage me every day. Prayers are heading your way

[@bettyblu8115]

Thinking of you girl. You give me such hope, both my hubby and I have rere autoimmune diseases, and though I don't complain, and feel so grateful and lucky, it is hard. I'm so proud of you that you are so positive. You are so bad-ass, and I'm so glad you are getting much needed rest and liquids & the banana bag, etc. Keep the faith...things will get better!!! :)

[@cotyart270]

I went about a week without eating or drinking and it takes a horrible toll on your body. I was dizzy all the time, did nothing but sleep, had constant shakes (I'm hypoglycemic), headaches, upset stomach. It was the worst. I knew it had gotten bad when I stopped peeing. The hospital even noted I was having tachycardia. If you feel even a bit like I did, I am so sorry and my thoughts are with you. I really really hope your team manages to get calories in you so that you can be relieved of some of the awful symptoms of being in starvation. It really sucks. Hang in there.

[@kayladrumgool7880]

Be praying for wisdom, less pain and vomiting, I pray you get some relief as well

[@brendanbrown6997]

I hope you'll pull through and get better, I'm pretty worried but I believe in you! Stay strong!

[@maydaylin100]

I love you Jaquie! praying you get well soon!

[@hananihasnan7788]

Stay Strong Jacquie. 💪💪💪💪💪 love and prayers from Brunei. 🇧🇳

[@tbundy4204]

Thanks for your willingness to share your journey. I, too, have GP. I have had a GJ tube since 2013 for nutrition and PORT for home hydration 5 days a week. Hope you are able to figure out a treatment plan that works for you. We're still searching.

[@ginathompson6845]

I was just outside sitting in the sun praying for you

[@rblom6481]

I wish you the best Jaquie. Hope you'll get well enough to go home soon. There is no need for you to appologise for anything, I'm even surprised you got a vlog up despite everything.

[@rabidseamonkey69]

Y'all are so strong!! And Judd is a hoot!

Dear Jaqui, you are in my thoughts. Honestly hope you will feel more yourself very soon. God bless. xxxxxx

[@donnabowers8332]

So sorry of your state of affairs. Being a mother and grandma is hard to see you not well. But, like many others many prayers coming your way. Sunday I'll get a prayer chain going at Church. Many hugs Glad your mom will be with you.

[@shellyortiz1977]

[@vickiolson1198]

You are so brave, my dear. I have chronic pain and I whine and cry because even though I had wonderful results with a high dose fentanyl patch, 125 msg, my Dr was under so much pressure from other Dr.s in her clinic I have been reduced down to 50 msg and no more hydrocodone for break through pain. I have gone from pain levels in the 4's to 8's and 9's. My function level used to be really great and it has tanked with the raise in pain levels. I don't see how they can they can call this giving me optimum care. If I had cancer I could have all sorts of opiates but because I am not dying, I have to suffer. There, I have had my rant and now I want to tell you how very petty I feel, feeing sorry for myself when you have so much more wrong with you and yet you face things with such courage and good spirits. I know it has to be very hard, but I'm so glad you have faith in the Lord. I also watch The Frey Life, about a gal with cystic fibrosis and she is having trouble keeping her weght stable and now they are preparing her emotionally to think of a lung transplant possibility. Mary also has wonderful faith in God and her husband is just as supportive as your guy is. Both of you are so special and I pray each night for both of you. I volunteer with a Kenyan non profit group that helps the poorest of the poor deal with a terrible parasite called a jigger. The channel name is Jim Ndurchi and even though Jim has advanced sickle cell disease, his faith is so very strong and he cares so much for his people The Rise Up Society is a great non profit and they have been attacked by an organized group of haters that attack the viewers that want to help with donations, etc. Anyway, dear, God Bless you and I will pray that God will send his angels to you tonite to cuddle you in their protective wings.

[@Potterhead34]

I'm glad you're getting some relief from your symptoms. I hope they find a solution that helps soon. ❤️❤️❤️

[@camiioan822]

I’m just now going through the process of being diagnosed with gastroparesis. These videos help me understand it better.

[@Kez_abi]

I am glad you are finding happy points in your hospital stay and you feel it was the right thing to do. I would recommend trying to get in contact with Mary and Peter Frey at the Frey Life if you want more information about feeding tubes as Mary has quite a bit of experience with them. Sleeping is good sometimes! Hope you find a solution soon. Thinking of you all xxx
