MEDICAL CLOSET ORGANIZATION TOUR!

[@thefreylife]

What a blessing it is to have a closet that holds my medical supplies! It was pretty exciting to get it all sorted out!

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

You have definitely settled in as residents of North Carolina, now that your medical supplies are unpacked and ready for action!! - let’s hope it’s a while before you need to use some of the contents (^•~•^) (...and that the oral antibiotics can do their magic and that you feel relief from that lingering cold soon - you seem to be blessed with a tad more energy today, I hope you don’t crash hard later today!)

[@krisfightingfibromyalgia3099]

I'm the same with that kind of stuff :D

[@misskristin1970]

Can you email the name of the enzymes that you take. I have gastroparsis also and want to talk to my gi dr We have talked about nj tube. I currently have a port where I am taking some of my meds and iv Zolfran. I love how you organized your meds I love the behind the door storage I may have to order that

[@tinah1362]

I am sure that gives you a sens of accomplishment getting that so organized so fast. You inspire me Mary!

[@doris1826]

What a nice space for your medical supplies! You did a wonderful job! I love that it's big enough that if you wanted to wheel your vest cart in there after you finish your vest in the morning, it would surely fit! So much room! You, Mary, are a very blessed lady!

[@kristi.kervin]

this med room is amazing! all it's missing is some motivational quotes and some art!!!

[@LayneFlyerBAMF]

I've been following you guys for a while but it wasn't until a year ago when my dad's health rapidly declined and needed to be on at home iv's did I get to experience even a fraction of what you go through each day. You are like a magician for being able to go through this each day with a smile on your face. Truly and inspiration for families like mine!

[@PinguPango]

This is awesome. You should hang some art work or inspirational sayings on the wall so that it’s not only a medical closet but also a positive space.

[@dreamtraveldisney]

I love to organize so seeing this video makes my heart happy! 😃

[@nancystewart2063]

If you decide you need more shelves in the closet, there is a new system available at Home Depot that lets you have more shelves at whatever height you need. We had the same shelves you have in your closet in our pantry. The new system, at least new to us, allows you to use the same shelves you have but has different anchors and is a flat bar at the top of the closet, and then you attach 3 or more vertical bars to the wall. You do have to buy new shelf mounts but I have found it works great. We are replacing most of our closets and shelving areas with them.

[@afrochick9142]

I have clinical depression. You’re videos have been therapeutic to me because it shows me that with hard work, dedication, and prayer I can find quality of life.

[@dream2451]

My inner OCD is so pleased with this video. I used to work in a medical supply room of a nursing facility, so I greatly appreciate your organization and you'll be able to see when you may run low on things etc. Some folks need a walk in closet for clothes, some of us laugh at normal medicine cabinets thinking, one days worth of meds won't fit in there. Thanks for the KZbin shout out of another fun page to follow too. I dream of days when I won't need a closet for my medical paraphernalia. Blessings

[@debradonley3825]

This tour made me realize all the work you have to do to stay alive and breathing. Amazing! You are a true warrior, Mary.

[@missmandyyx]

now you just need a mini fridge for your meds that need chilled!!

[@MicksCorner]

I’ve been watching for about 3 years and I have to say.. you can even hear the difference in your voice when your talking from being on the vertex.. you don’t sound like your gasping as much As you were before between words and your breathes seem a bit smoother.. God is so good. I’m so happy for you Mary.. You have held on with nothing but strength and joy.. this breakthrough is so deserved ❤️

[@openlybookish]

So impressed Mary. Thrilled you have that room to keep your supplies in for easy access.

[@TechGirl84]

I love watching these kinds of videos! One question though: why do you keep the empty cards from your Vertex medication?

[@emm7528]

Maybe because it's amazing life chaning!

[@dianegraham2546]

What a fantastic organizing job. I know you are relieved that you have a place for everything and everything in it's place. You look so healthy today. Thanks for the tour.

[@jaytee2642]

My goodness! I knew you had a lot of medical supplies, but I had no idea it was SO MUCH.😲 That would be overwhelming to me, but you've had a lifetime of learning the ins and outs of keeping it all straight. I also love Do It On A Dime. She is a wealth of information regarding organizing. ♥️ I'm glad you finally have a place to consolidate your supplies.

[@bgmaple47232]

My mother takes Budesinide for her colitis. A multi-purpose steroid. I have a young friend living with CF and she is very excited about the Vertex news. We are so thankful for the CF Foundation and all the research they fund and support.

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

I thought I couldn't be happier about the news about the FDA approving the Vertex medication, but today, here in the UK, the news was released that in 30 days, Vertex will be made available to CF patients here in the UK! I'm sooo happy! So many more lives will be saved! Now, I'm still praying for Vertex to reach the rest of the world. I won't stop praying that unless it actually happens.

[@trishaanderson3001]

Having a plug and mini fridge in there would be great.... For things that need to be kept cold..... Having everything organized and in one place makes life so much easier

[@yeetskeet7568]

You should get a mini fridge for meds that need to be refrigerated. Just incase you aren't feeling going up and down the stairs and if peter isnt home.

[@sandihester]

I just kept saying "oh my, Mary, oh my" to myself - that closet and very beautifully organized space says a LOT about your health!!!! I just have 2 shelves for my medical supplies. It made my heart ache. I've also been frustrated because I can't remember the last night I got a full night of sleep due to health issues and devices going off and it renewed my thinking to NOT complain - just do what I need to do and ZIP IT with any bemoaning spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You probably didn't know your medical closet tour would be a help to someone's heart and health today did you?! So thankful for you!

[@windylee2988]

Looks Great! Mary maybe make some diy dollar tree labels for each shelf/container to have so maybe if your mom or someone needs to locate something when maybe you or Peter are not availible to get something. Maybe have a master list of meds laminated or protective sheet on cube shelf and dosage you take for folks that may help you other than Peter or in case an Emergency occurs.

[@melissa-Ann]

🙌🙌 yessss🙌🙌way to go Mary on the organization of medical supply cabinet!! Loved how everything has its place and easy access for you and Peter to get to. You did a great job!!! Okay, now you need to start your own business and be hired to help organize other people's closets. 👍🙌💙 ☺ 🌼have a great night🌼

[@davegoodridge8352]

Good job! Maybe it could use a lock on the door or a childproof latch, for when your nephew comes over. Have a great day.

[@laurenc9458]

Or they can’t watch him

[@TaleRavenTarot]

There is something so satisfying about seeing an organized closet like that! You inspired me to reorganize my bedside med containers!

[@cagedtigersteve]

If there are any nurses here I would love to see how you organize your office. Seeing other people organize help me get organized.

[@jaceyleelovee]

Am I crazy, or does Mary even SOUND better since starting the triple combo medication??

[@kecrn4132]

Jacey Lee - agreed! Her voice is stronger and less scratchy!

[@elisabethnyenhuis8063]

Looks great. Are you going to be putting labels on the containers? So happy your life can get a little simpler.

[@krisfightingfibromyalgia3099]

I totally get that feeling of wanting to pack things away when not needed. And that you just wanna close the door to all the medical stuff every once in a while

[@rmjames83]

SO awesome!!! Just make sure u keep an eye on expiry dates of everything-i put the new stuff/delivery at the back-so I use the older stuff first-in my experience, it can be a bit of a trial keeping tabs on expiry dates of medical things, especially if it’s something u don’t use all the time!

[@bridgetarndt1302]

Look at you go girl! I'm so excited to see you doing so well

[@livinglifeforward4560]

I just organized all my tube supplies too. Looks so much better.

[@Dreamer5211]

Hi Guys , Mary , -- Great Job !! , your med closet looks really organized. Not the you were not before , but now you have super easy access to all the equipment needed place you have a separate work area to organize what you will need. Thanks for the video !! , say 'hi' to Peter , thanks for the vlog , take care. Gary 

[@denisejones7780]

Please make a video showing your new neighborhood and Town. I understand you don't want your home shown, yet it would be fun to see where you are now. I'm very curious about NC.

[@monamorgan8614]

Do you have a little step stool in the closet so you can access the upper shelves? And you have to add a Frey Life saying to the wall over the cubicles like ,”Don’t forget to Laugh everyday” or Do what you think you can’t do👍🏻 it’s so great seeing you with the capability to do all the setting up and make the house your Home🥰

[@krisfightingfibromyalgia3099]

I just love organizing stuff. Especially med stuff. It’s just so important and it feels good to have it all sorted. And not having to search for stuff while feeling very shitty

[@TraciHilbers]

Love your medical supply closet Mary...please pray for me Peter and Mary as I am having hysterectomy surgery friday,will be binge watching all my youtubers while recuperating

[@cindymills398]

Love Katherine, she lives here in NC too! Your well organized closet gives me ideas for my sewing room!

[@betterwiththeirish]

I see new dollar tree baskets! Great set up. I have a small plastic 3 drawer container for my supplies

[@sallygonzalez7257]

You need a small refrigerator to keep the med that need to be cold

[@samantha53669]

they tried that, but found out a refrigator in the bedroom is too loud for them. Instead when Mary does need some Medicine out of the Fridge (like the Nebulizer-medication) Peter brings it up to her. This was mentioned a few vlogs earlier by them ^^

[@laurenc9458]

A tiny mini fridge isn’t loud but maybe that’s not big enough or cold enough. I have a tiny one for my skincare, I like to keep some of them cold. It’s in my room and I can’t hear it.

[@aprilgriffin9218]

Random comment, my husband made your recipe for salsa chicken and it is wonderful!! Thank you.

[@ontariorox]

I love it, Mary. You explained it perfectly and it all looks sooo well organized and wonderful.

[@oliviakite]

Wow I'm definitely watching this on repeat trying to prepare for my first dose of IVIG next Monday!!! I'm also moving, so these are EXCELLENT organisational tips for what's to come! THANKS MARY!!!

[@fevertree1957]

How great is it you now have that space - that amount of medical kit definitely requires its own little storage room!

[@kishajames4527]

great job Mary...u are such an organised Lady... thanks for sharing this with us..love it

[@fralinsandfriends]

That is what I need for my CPAP and oxygen supplies. I've got boxes stacked in the bedroom next to the filing cabinet that's already full. That's not even mentioning my mist. I enjoy you that closet. 😀👋

[@ElphabaWeaslely]

this was awesome Mary! I love tours and I love organization and storage supplies. So satisfying! lol

[@mmsnbc9118]

Peter could build wood shelves and paint white and add lower than top shelves etc....

[@hollowleg911]

Love, love, love!!! Crazy, because I finally got my supplies organized. Like I said in another video, emergency evacuation orders from the most recent fire got my butt in gear. But like you, I’m not sure it’ll stay the way it is. I have everything I use in one corner now, so hearing you talk about the lady (can’t remember her name, but would love it again). I made “daily kits”, where I can grab a bag and it should have everything for the night. But I’m still looking for a few extra tips and tricks. I like the colored baskets, where did you get them? And I was planning on getting a shelf like that, so it was helpful to see it in use. Now to find the cheapest price, but still a decent build. I sooooop love that you have a closet to hide it. There’s something to be said about not making your room or space feel like a hospital. Or at least for me. Though I know a lot of people enjoy keeping it like a hospital, with a little personalization. Looking forward to seeing more videos as you two get settled.

[@lezup]

It looks so nicely organized. I wish my supplies had been that easy to find back in the day.

[@josettefrizzle532]

Watching this video was so satisfying! I love organization! Also like that little Mickey sticker 😊

[@bryangustafson2748]

9:11 "And on the wall over there is Mickey Mouse! Don't worry it's not weird that he's in my medical supplies." ;) :) :P

[@heathersmith4774]

How about taking the hook part under the shelves and making floating shelves? Wishing you a better day today than you had yesterday!

[@Homestead-ish]

That is so nice! You did such a great job! The medical closet alone is worth the move 🥰

[@felicialee2320]

Hey Mary it is Lily. Yay you have more room to store your meds. i love when you do these kinds of videos. love you guys!!!!!!

[@LisaCorneliusJourneys]

So happy you have such a nice space. You seem to be feeling better!

[@hollyosgerby1901]

Great space for your medical supplies and well organized, Mary!! 🤗❤️❤️

[@karbear26]

Nice what a great spot for all your medications! I hope continues to work for you!

[@madison8568]

I would love a little walk in closet for my medical supplies! I have an ileostomy, central line (for TPN), and two feeding tubes and currently I use a shelving unit and minifridge which does the job but is a bit cramped due to the amount of supplies.

[@lynnrose7562]

Great organization. Wow!

[@kathywaddington1978]

Wonderful new room. So proud for you and Peter.

[@janaye7iverson]

🤣🤣🤣 funniest thing just happened. As I was watching this I was doing a few things in the kitchen and when you said “a box of...” I said chocolate!!! Like I knew what you were gonna say haha 😂 have no idea why I said that or why that would be in your medical closet, shows where my mind is at haha 😆 well it made me laugh and I hope it makes you laugh too! Could be a have to been there moment! You did a great job, doesn’t it always feel so good to be organized😘

[@Jamie-tk9dg]

I need you to come organize my closets. I can barely step in there 😂😂 Love you guys ♥️

[@justmishel3167]

You should label the grey bins with what’s in them...or go crazy and label all the baskets lol..tyfs big hug

[@dinahakim7114]

OK never mind you answered my question all right such a blessing you are Mary and so is Peter thank you for doing what you’re doing God bless

[@Hallz18]

Love how organized your medical closet is! Way to go!

[@elspethgraham9531]

Looks like you need a little step-up ladder to reach the stuff way over your head. :-)

[@someonedifferent198]

Was just commenting the same thing :) I would at a step stool, something like the ikea BEKVÄM www.ikea.com/us/en/p/bekvaem-step-stool-birch-30178879/ . If you have that at hand it will be much easier to keep everything organised. Added benefits, you can use it to sit on when you are filling your comblers or use it to put a box on when you are (for example) restocking your IV-rack

[@kimberlymayo9951]

All your well organized closet now needs is a Frey Life saying on the wall. Think the one with Ollie on it...maybe smile everyday would be great. 🐶👍😉

[@Lookn4Gsus]

Yay to the captioning on your theme song!!🎼🎤🎹

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

You’ve done a great job in there Mary! Thankfully my stock supplies fit into a drawer in my bedside table (it’s about 2’ square) and all the machines like BP Monitor, spare heat pads and braces are on an IKEA Raskog trolley. If my condition requires any more meds, I have another 2 drawers to move into underneath my stock one and the top drawer is for what I’m using right now. All my tablets in that drawer are stacked in alphabetical order so that Martin can find them easily if I’m too unwell to sort them for myself and, thanks to a sadistic nurse ranking me, my asthma inhalers are kept in a small Tupperware container to stop any spiders from getting into them! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@gthornton3]

So happy you weight has been stabilized so you can eat and not have to use the feeding tube.

[@onedogandabag9606]

I’ve just seen on our news that Vertex has now been approved in the UK too - Fabulous!! 💜xx

[@mistycgrimm]

Love it! So organized! I know that makes you feel good!

[@geminiburglar]

Hey guys❤ I have 2 questions.. 1. Have you ever went through a period where u changed your feeding color to blue or pink for fun? 2. If you feel sick after u eat do you drain from your tube or is that different? In nursing school...curious!

[@533134]

Ladi Gemini she has a J tube, so you can’t really vent from it.

[@bonnieletson3043]

Nice JOB !!!! I LOVE to ORGANIZE !!! YES !!! I said it 😀 I love check back in 6 months, always it's time to put it all back together AGAIN !!!! LOL Have a grrrreattttt night !!!

That's so awesome Mary! I'm happy for you that you have everything you need in one please and so organized 👍😉💖🙏God bless you guys 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

[@Dogsoverpeople]

Sooooo satisfying 🤩🤩🤩

[@loveandbelovedtoo3777]

How often do you go through your medical supplies and check for expired ones? From working in a hospital, I know there are expiration dates on a lot of supplies, not only medicine. Cheering on from Chicago!

[@BABYSCOTT]

You should put a label in front of all your IVIG but you know what they are but I thought it would be a good idea

[@terrisangels4499]

I agree that is a wonderful space for you.Congrats.

[@sallymay24]

Amazing work The only thing I wanna say is you need to label the bins above your head And maybe a little seat in the corner I know it’s only early since you moved so I’m sure you will do it in the coming months

[@rebeccaclavette2329]

Closet is looking good.

[@cindywisdom6385]

Great organization

[@tabithawagnon9558]

You should do an updated service dog gear tour!

[@nancyp2992]

Neat closet - i also take Budesonide - very expensive even with insurance - my insurance recently changed it from 90 days to 30 days only. My doctor gave me a prescription for ordering from Canada - much much much cheaper and can get for 100 days - however i’ve found that Metamucil and 1/2 Imodium a day work just as well. Once in awhile, Pepto Bismo is for soothing gut.

[@chronicallycooking8905]

I’m going to need one of these now that I have a port and will eventually go to home health care

[@shernandez2276]

Awesome! One day you won’t need to use it as a medical closet but as a prayer room or storage closet. 🙏🏼❤️ Although what is your thought of hanging some fun things that reflect you so it’s not all medical in you face all the time? Just a thought. 🌻😘

[@lizzieturbeville4089]

You’ve inspired me to organize my medical supplies 💊

Mary, you haven't had to use your feeding tube for a while now, is that right?

Loving the new house vlogs keep it up Mary and Peter

[@teuntjeejtnuet82]

You make me want to organize all my medical supplies. That is weird.

[@jacquicoder7160]

Thanks for the closet tour, Mary. I have a question that I don't know if you or anyone else may be able to answer regarding the fabulous news of FDA approval of your Vertex medication. The price that I saw announced for it just astounded me and I am heartsick to think of how difficult it will be for most people to afford it, if that is indeed the price anyone would have to pay for it - almost $24,000 for a 28-day pack. Am I missing something here?

[@sandrabentley1420]

I think Mary is on Medicaire so she doesn't have to pay, may be wrong, don't quote me. Or she got some free samples, compassionate use. That's a crazy amount isn't it?

[@jacquicoder7160]

@@sandrabentley1420 Thanks for the response. I wasn't asking about how Mary was paying for it. I doubt it is free to her because of Medicare - there are still copays even with Medicare - but she may be getting it free as compassionate use. I'm just concerned for the many other CF patients who may not be able to afford it. Yes, it is a crazy amount and I do sincerely hope there are options available to help make it affordable. Otherwise, what is the point of it being approved for use?

[@sandrabentley1420]

@@jacquicoder7160 Exactly.

[@paradiselost1914]

Mary, with a few more items, you could be the neighborhood triage center for emergency care. So where are the pain meds stored? Lol, DON'T SAY!
