MARY'S CHILDHOOD MEDICATION MISCHIEF!

[@thefreylife]

I would consider myself a “compliant patient”... but I might have a few rebellious stories from my past... and it might have to do with a dollhouse chimney 🤣😱

[@pattyfluegel7816]

Im kind of a medical nerd too Mary, but I think next time you fill up your comblers it would be cool if you gave us a medical tour. Holding up each med and letting us see the shape and color, telling us what it is, what it does for you etc. I think that would be fun!

[@animebuddy264]

As a pharmacist in Australia who doesn’t know *that* much about CF, I find your videos so interesting for me! I had no idea about the vitamin deficiencies CF patients experience, so this was really helpful for my knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

[@rae1957tn]

I loved the pill stories and the little Mary stories.

[@JFly87]

You two should get some sugar feeders for hummingbirds. They are so cool to watch. Also the more you have it’s even more exciting to watch them.

[@NorseButterfly]

I have to fill my combler on the counter or my dog will be alllll up in my business wondering what I'm doing, can he help, do I need dpt immediately... the joys of labs😊

[@angelafischer7608]

I am running 2 days behind and this morning, just having one of those days already. I thought right now would be a great time to catch back up and am so thankful that I did. I cried happy tears as a sign of a lost loved one for me or a blessing for me is a cardinal. I have lost a lot of loved ones this year who have made a huge impact on my life and always been here when I needed them no matter what. I just have to say thank you 🙏. The Lord gives us signs, that He is here for us when we need Him the most. God is GREAT! Sending you big hugs, love and prayers. God Bless you all!

[@Judymontel]

Thank you so much for your bird-feeder footage. When I was a little girl and still lived in the US my mom had a bird book and we used to watch the blue jays and cardinals come to the oak tree in our backyard. Seeing that cardinal did my heart SO much good!!! Bless you, guys!

[@sandihester]

"it's the man" comment CRACKED ME UP!!! Referring to the bird!

[@hannahmartin770]

The water color Bible verse cards are awsome. Thanks. Keep up the amazing work. God is doing wonders.

[@roseb6248]

Really excited for that podcast!!!

[@lynnrose7562]

That cardinal is beautiful. I downloaded the cards. Thank you for doing that. I really needed to read them and will continue to read them. The preview of Peter's podcast looks great. I can't wait to see what lies ahead. The two of you are awesome together. xo

[@Dogsoverpeople]

That clip showing all the pills in the comblers is sooo satisfying 😌

[@patriciaslotnick4920]

I know.

[@swhiting86]

I just bought my son a pill case and when I was trying to explain what I was looking for I kept calling it a "combler", and finally apologized to the clerk because I couldn't remember what they're actually called. I was like, "a combler... the thing you put pills in for the week..."

[@jaytee2642]

So interesting to hear you talking about Z Pak. I had never even heard about it until it started being talked about on the news in combination with chloroquin as a COVID-19 treatment.

[@emmalution]

Your videos did something good twice this week. 1) you filling up your pills reminded me I forgot to take my own before bed 2) I learned from your videos about having to prime IVs before you put them on and a nurse at a hospital made a mistake with my grandma and after spraying IV medication all over the bed she then left a full line of like 90% air. If I didn't know that it shouldnt be this way from your videos I wouldn't have known to ask the nurse to re-do it!

[@rebeccawilson6512]

Cardinals are a sign your loved ones are with you in spirit.

[@freakygirlslive2360]

"The little brown kind that fluttered up" looks like it was the female Cardinal! Her hubby was likely clearing the way for her to get some seed. :) Love that you guys get to watch the birds at the new place!

[@HarmonyBreaker]

You can TOTALLY tell I’m from Texas because when you said “oil soluble” I went “Did she just pronounce all the letters in oil?”😂😂

[@LexiLooBelle]

That Cardinal was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Love seeing the routine of combler filling too 😁💜

[@TammyGrosso]

I also have to take Vitamin K for bleeding, from time to time. I would end up with 50-75 bruises all over my body, for no reason. My doc even took me in private to ask me if I was being beaten, because of the amount of bruises. Anyway, we found out that it was from low Vit. K (not K as in potassium, although I have had that many times too). And we never figured out why it gets so low, when it does. Anyway, the vit K pills never looked like the pill you showed. However, as a kid, my parents were really into organic foods and vitamins. They sold them, informed people about them, and we had to take them many times a day. At the age of 8, I could take about 10-20 in one shot. As I am sure you could too. Anyway, one of the pills that we took was Vitamin E. And it was a clearish light brown/tan color. All of that to say that, I am thinking that the pill you showed us, was E. Also, as kids, my family moved many times. And everytime we moved, they would find random pills in weird places, like behind large kitchen appliances, between/under the sofa cushions, and in the bathroom cabinet drawers. It wasn't till we were adults, and got together for Christmas, that the topic came up again. Me and 2 of my siblings all admitted to hiding them on many occasions. Thank God my dad saw the humor in it, as we did. I wonder how much money parents wasted throughout the years, do to the many kids hiding their pills. lol

[@loveandbelovedtoo3777]

When Peter was eating the cereal, what I heard him say was, “The vanilla tastes unofficial.” And I thought, what the heck does “unofficial vanilla” taste like?? LOL! Don’t forget to laugh everyday! Cheering on from Chicago!

Lol. Mary says, "What is that little brown kind that just fluttered up?" as I'm thinking she is about to say, "What is that lapping sound?," as Ollie is drinking water. Btw, that could've been a finch or a city sparrow, from the look of it.

@@kelseys628 Yes, at the beginning. I'm almost certain it was Oliie drinking. I see how it could sound that way now that I have that sound in my head though. Lol...

So I'm glad to know I'm not completely crazy...

[@ejdoug8328]

Peter, Aldi has their brand of Raisin Bran Crunch and its really good. I also like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch even better than the brand name one. I also wanted to know if you guys had a hummingbird feeder. Those birds are so darn cute! The trick for the ants with those is to put vaseline all at the base of the pole you hand the feeder on so the ants cant get to the sugar water. Friends of ours stuck their feeder to the kitchen window that was by their table so the kids could watch the birds while they were eating.

[@charityhamilton2873]

Mary, you've reminded me of the time when I was under ten and I didn't like the colour of my toothbrush and I didn't like the taste of the peppermint toothpaste, so I hid the toothbrush under my mattress. Sadly, today, between long term chronic illness and horrible dental hygiene, my mouth is now full of fillings and a selection of broken teeth. At least now I have a pink toothbrush and toothpaste that I can cope with even though I still don't like peppermint.

[@rmjames83]

I had a pill mishap recently-I was on seperate tablets for calcium & vit. D, but the pharmacy said several mths ago, why u paying more 2 buy seperate tabs when u can get vit D & calcium together-so I did that, but it appears In the last couple of months, I picked up just calcium, not the combo pill-my vit D levels were nonexistent-my dr said he has never seen levels that low. I’m now on 3 vit D tabs per day now, for at least a month, then they will recheck. Goes to show, u gotta really watch what ur doing when ur buying over the counter tablets-the mistake wouldn’t have happened if it was a script, I’m fairly sure! I was ridiculously fatigued when we found out about my vit D levels, sleeping 12+ hrs and still feeling fatigued, but after a week of mega doses of vit D, I’m starting to feel a little better!!

Hi Guys , I have a similar situation with a med. I take Rx strength Benadryl // Diphenhydramine HCI 50mg PRN for seasonal and food allergies . I was getting a prescription and paying around 13 ~ 15 dollars for a qty of 100. a few years ago I found the same generic Diphenhydramine HCI 50mg bottle of 1000 for 16.xx !! So now no script , just Amazon same OTC med as Benadryl just twice the strength . All my best for your launch tomorrow with your new series and podcast , thanks for the vlog , take care and CU tomorrow , Gary 

[@susanharris1285]

I think your podcast will be really good Peter, hats off to you Mary I would get so confused with all those pills love and prayers hi Ollie

[@DesAMowadeng]

I was on medication (not for CF) as a child that was meant to be long term and it was discovered that lon term use wasn't affective and could actually cause resistance to that drug. What do doctors do in cases of CF where the drugs are what you become resistant to it. I know you've dealt with bacteria that is resistant to any drug pretty much.

[@deathbym0nkeys]

[@benjaminfreyman4273]

Cardinals are super friendly. I always talk to mine but they have to give up my house because I have 4 cats . They will come in profusion tho if you don't or if you have indoor cats.

[@geniekruljac]

I don't have CF but I do have health issues that require I take a lot of pills. It's so comforting that others have the same pill routines. I walk with crutches so carrying things is not easy. I also fill my "comblers" on the bed and my husband carries my basket and comblers back to the cupboard where they're stored. The other day he dropped the comblers and broke it. Pills. all. over. the. floor. I take expensive pills also so I can't afford to throw them out. I was in the kitchen, he was in the bedroom, I heard the shower of pills falling on the hardwood floor, here comes my husband with his head down. He picked up all the pills, sorted them into piles and I went and put them into their sections-morning, noon, evening,bedtime again. It wasn't the first time this happened. Oh the arghhh of it all. I think only a pill sorter can relate to something like this. By the way the assortment of birds at your feeder is amazing. Love it. I live in north central California and only see brownish birds with an occasional other neutral colored one.

I have a question that you may have already answered. I have a chronic autoimmune disease, I’ve written you guys multiple times before. Often times I’m on antibiotics, pretty strong antibiotics. How do you, Mary, keep your gut healthy? That can be a challenge for me at times. I take probiotics. I do my best to eat healthy and clean. I’m very careful (compliant, LOL), but can still struggle with GI/Gut issues. I’ve had many conversations with my team around this this issue. There isn’t really any great answer than what I’m already doing. After this long winded message I’m curious how you keep your gut healthy, if you don’t mind sharing!
