It's so heartwarming to see how much hope is bubbling up in Mary. She seems more herself than she has in a year or two. Gah, my heart!

Mary is so full of energy its nice to see

[@anovemberstar]

im wondering if its cos parts of the vlog are much faster than others???

Linda Marsh Bmx I was just thinking that.

[@mackenzienicole4948]

Mary looks so happy and actually has energy! I love seeing this

[@Lovealwaystata]

I was told by my doctors that the first few days on the new medication are spent clearing your lungs of mucus, like a purge.

[@SudsAndSerendipity]

I think it's making Mary hyper and full of energy 😁 good to see that.

[@sandrabentley1420]

Wow, off the chart energy Mary! Something's changing within perchance? Your mood is so 'up and at em'. Great, keep going. So much to look forward to.

[@jennifermcauley2590]

Love how she is full of energy!!!!

[@stacianovia-thorn9298]

Call me crazy....but doesn't Mary seem a bit more "peppy" in this video? Perhaps it is just wishful thinking but even her breathing? Might ba a good day or maybe.....? 🤔😊🤩

[@rickeyrescue]

Okay dumb comment...lol. Your mom and your sister found your snuggie/flying squirrel outfit at a church sale. I am watching The Frey Life from the beginning, and when you got back from Scotland, staying with your mom with Peter still there, they gave you this hilarious looking (I am so freaking jealous, I seriously want one- have chronic illness myself) outfit. I literally watched this video yesterday. So yep, that is where they got it. Now you know...Thank you for your inspiring ongoing story and videos giving me a fun pastime to get through my own hard times!

[@CoreyAnneTeacher]

Another great way to butter corn on the cob is to put a pad of butter on a slice of bread (or a bun or biscuit if you are having those with dinner) and use the butter on the slice of bread to butter the corn cob!! You get perfectly buttered corn on the cob, buttered bread, and the best part is that it keeps your hands clean!!

[@esmeraldasetzer506]

Once my baby is born in November I start this medication! Super nervous and excited to see what it does, I have the 3rd rarest genotype for cf, I’m the youngest out of 12 with the same genes and have always been told because of that I could never use this medicine but we’ll see!

[@lilolmecj]

Esmeralda Setzer were you able to qualify for the frug? Are you breastfeeding and does that effect using it?

[@gcqldrgirl]

What a wonderful dinner. Shrimp on the bbq is something us Aussies have on the bar b during our summertime. Your dinner reminded us of our very warm Queensland summers.

[@analuisa1214]

So lovely to watch this years later when you have Elijah 💛 I've been here for so long watching us and seeing your entire journey with trikafta and years before it, now you can go upstairs almost running and no coughing or shortness of breath!! And with a baby!!!

Prawns have a different anatomy than shrimp. They are much larger than shrimp but virtually taste the same. I’m so excited for you Mary I can’t stand it. Praying for complete success with the new medication. 😊💗🙏

Corn grilled with the husk on is perfect! My late husband's "secret method:?" lol Hand buttering is great too because you get a little salt...

[@CoreyAnneTeacher]

MICHELLE ROSS my grandmother used to put a pad of butter on a piece of bread and then use that to spread the butter on the corn. You not only get perfectly butters corn but also a buttered piece of bread!!! If we had rolls or biscuits with dinner she would use them instead of the bread!!

Sooo good to see Mary in a crazy mood The pill is working. Love you guys Brenda Fredrick Hanford Ca

I dehusk the corn and then slather it in seasoned butter and wrap each cob in tin foil, shiny side out. Then I cook them on the barbecue or even in the oven during the winter. So tasty!

I so hope that you are feeling well on this new medicine...you seem energetic today !! Just hoping and praying for you both !

From my lips to Gods ears... let this medicine continue to work and a miracle in the making!! God bless you two!! sending hugs and healing prayers! 🙏🏼💙💐

[@RedRubies02]

Don't know if it's the excitement of what the med can do causing the excitement, or the med itself (Albuterol and Prednisone do it for me), but it's so great to see Mary so happy and excited. 🙂 Praying it's the med you've been waiting for to help. ❤️

[@AmyAndThePup]

I can't wait to see if this medication helps you in any way. I'll be praying for you, Mary. Peter, what kind of retreat or weekend thing is it that you have to write messages for? How many? I pray that the writing and speaking goes well for you. Mary talking about food made me wish I had some shrimp and corn made up. I've never had homemade pickles, but they sound delicious. Love you guys.

[@beautifulsoul8560]

I’m so glad to see you so full of energy Hopefully the darker mucus is just a purging phase during this time. I hope your body adjust and that this medicine works for you and sending well wishes your way!

[@maryreynolds5310]

Well Miss Mary/or I should say Mrs. You’ve definitely been given a bout of energy this day. This is phase (1). Phase (2) will be ....waking up one morning soon, feeling great, and you begin to feel better and better each and every day...Love it! Go get-em girl!!

You can't have grapefruit after a kidney transplant?! I haven't heard that before

I would love to have your energy that you had in this video, Mary. It's good to see :) I'm preparing both mentally and physically to my surgery at the end of August - the removal of bladder stones - so I'm horribly anxious, but at the same time I'm looking forward to it, because I'm starting to have some pain, so it's the right time to get rid of those little buggers! ;)

[@lilolmecj]

You two do eat well, you seem to focus both on attractive, and varied foods. I love that you cook and clean together.

[@bluesoldierette]

I love grapefruit! I used to be on a med that I have to very seriously avoid it. It was sad but it’s not too hard especially if the med is helping.

[@HappilyNeverAfter]

The grapefruit interaction only applies to grapefruit juice. The flavor compounds used in no-calorie seltzer drinks are derived from grapefruit oil and there are no known interactions between the derivative and any drug. Also, many "natural grapefruit flavors" are actually derived from oranges and have no grapefruit origin whatsoever.

I was SO HOPEFUL & OPTIMISTIC that the title meant you were experiencing some noticeable/measurable improvement from the vertex. I hope there are several other who not have heard of the medication will talk to their team because of you. You ALSO are advancing the treatment of CF by sharing all o the info you get to everyone,

[@dominiquebastien9018]

Hi Mary, You should put Oliver’s fur clippings outside for the birds. They can use for their nests (probably too late for this year) but also good for colder weather.

[@darlenehaley6781]

@Dominique Bastien she does. Probably why she trimmed him outside. Besides the weather is nice.

In the months leading up to my transplant, I ate so much grapefruit that I even had a special spoon! With prograf pomegranate is also a no go. Totally worth it.

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

My husband doesn't like grapefruit but was disappointed to find he couldn't have Sunny Delight anymore. Yep it has grapefruit juice in it. He can't have it because of heart medication. Something to do with affecting the kidneys.

Darlene Haley it refers to the spoon theory. I don't know if I can explain it right but I will try. Life with disabilities is very taxing. Pretend your life depends on how many spoons you have. For everything you do you give up a spoon. When you run out of spoons, you won't/can't do anything more. I apologize for the lousy explanation (I am just not very good at explaining).
