Hi lovely, FYI, Singer heavy Duty 4423 is AN AMAZING sewing machine able to handle plenty of stress and layers. hope this helps.

[@KennaKrueger]

Thank you!

[@haileyhudson4157]

The KITTEN😍

[@andreal4364]

Are we all flaring right now or something lol, this week has been rough!! So sorry you’re struggling too. Your videos bring me so much joy and comfort. Makes me feel less alone. Also can I just say that kitty is adorable!!!!🥺💜

[@KennaKrueger]

It seems like it and thank youu!!💛

[@jenniferw1595]

Me too! I have gastroparesis and this week has been heck. I am so sick. Why all of us flaring at the same time? Does anyone have bad flares during seasonal changes? I feel my worst flares are Fall and Spring.

[@andreal4364]

Yes, sometimes. But idk my flares are so random too, like I really can’t keep up😂🙈

[@linneanelsonvlogs]

Wishing you luck with the new insurance! Hope they cover your formula

[@KennaKrueger]

Thank you!

[@crabbyabby]

it must be slow GI tract week, it seems like lots of us are having tummy issues 🥴 i hope you’re feeling better!!

[@KennaKrueger]

It seems like it unfortunately😭 I am feeling a bit better now though so yay!

[@Bubbles937]

I loved this video but I hate that your having a rough GI day too. (I’m in that boat too. With 9/10 bloat, 7/10 nausea post zofran, and 6/10 cramping). I love that you still go to brunch though and hope that the waffle was delicious and worth it. I tried a small amount of solid food today and my body rejected it. Looks like tomorrow is a 100% katefarms day for me. P.S. your kitten is adorable!

[@KennaKrueger]

Ugh no I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well either😭 and I’m so thankful I’m able to have bites of regular food on my good days! Hopefully you have some better symptom days soon!

[@marzettik]

It sucks when your bowels are like, peace out, lol. I was actually had a general surgery appointment because I have a hiatal hernia on top of my gi issues. He said something interesting to me, he said that I have generalized gut dysmotility through out my entire gi system and that gastroparesis isn’t just a condition but a symptom. Which sort of makes sense to me but at the same time it doesn’t.

[@KennaKrueger]

It really does. Ugh no it always sucks when something else shows up on top of your gi issues, it’s always so miserable! I can’t speak for everyone but I think it’s very common for people with gastroparesis to also some degree of intestinal dysmotility

[@marzettik]

@@KennaKrueger Yeah, I’m getting that impression of gut dysmotility. It just bugs me that my regular gastroenterologist didn’t bring it up, because I’m pretty sure they looked at the same scans. Oh and your parents have such a cute foster fail., lol.

[@loislaine2762]

My stomach has slowed down this week too. Lots of zofran required. That kitten is adorable! I hope you are able to get your sewing machine fixed soon.

[@KennaKrueger]

Noo😭 why are all of our stomachs slowing down

[@samiyahleanne]

I've been having problems with insurance. They won't cover my dietitian appointments because I used them all up and now they're telling me I'm not sick enough to have dietitian appointments so yeah it's been fun. PS: I'm going to pray that you feel well and are better this week. You're doing amazing job you are so strong beautiful and brave ❤️

[@KennaKrueger]

That’s ridiculous I can’t believe insurance can do that! And thank you so much!

[@ClassOf2013Hornets]

My stomach has been extra slow this week too. Not much popping from my tube. I think it's hormone related.

[@KennaKrueger]

Ugh no I hope your gi tract wakes up a bit next week!

[@countrygirlsstopanimationw6928]

I don’t have any diagnosed GI issues but my stomach has been upset this week and my indigestion has been horrible:( as well as my heart barn. But I have to go to a gi specialist soon how fun :)

[@KennaKrueger]

Ugh no I’m sorry your gi tract was angry this week too😭 hopefully you’ll get some answers with the gi specialist!

[@julietannOsfan1972]

The kitten is so cute. Do you find that your stomach etc hurts even more when you haven’t had a no 2 for a few days? I know mine does. (Sorry if this is TMI.😀) I’d love to eat out but can’t even manage a McDonald’s or Burger King shake anymore. I had one a few weeks ago & was nearly sick.

[@KennaKrueger]

Yes it does! My gastroparesis symptoms always get worse when my colon isn’t working well.

[@Faith-hd6bn]

My GI tract has been extra broken and slow too. Live, laugh, love🥲

[@KennaKrueger]

No😭😭
