[@ThisBubblyJESUSFreak]

They updated! Surgery went well!! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!!

[@112musician]

I feel blessed to have found this community. Love is all around.

[@MsRespect247]

112musician and I appreciate you joining this wonderful community :) from me to you I send support and encouragement through what you might be going through!

[@callabeth258]

Mary I think you cry because you are such a loving person you truely feel for and care about everyone who watches your videos so your heart is all full up so it spills over occasionally, that's ok, it's beautiful! I hope the surgery went well and your recovery does too...

[@debbiesanderson9466]

Mary you never fail to amaze me with your positivity - I watch your vlogs everyday and you inspire me to cope with everything life is throwing at me right now 😘 xx

[@SuperBlackCat1313]

Mary you are so strong and you get through this.

[@macdizzie9379]

Huge hugs to you two who somehow manage to take care of everything in your busy lives and still uploading daily, running the store, and everything else you both do. Sending good vibes your way today :)

[@christywright5439]

You were in my mind, heart and prayers all day today Mary. Prayers continue for you both. BTW loved the way Ollie kicked his head to one side when you were talking to him Mary. He is so sweet.

[@chloethiboldeaux8073]

Praying as always. You're so strong. Peter you are such a great husband. 👍🏼

[@shelleyh7767]

As I'm watching this, you are probably in surgery (or in recovery)....know that I'm thinking of you all and keeping the prayers going!! Mary and Peter.....your strength, faith and love for each other is so endearing! THANK YOU for allowing us to come along on your journey through life!! XOXO

[@bgmaple47232]

Mary, I get so emotional as I watch you fighting through your treatments. I thank the Lord that He has given you a positive attitude and that He brought Peter into your life to be your partner on this journey. I am praying that all the procedures will go well and that you will soon be out of the hospital and be able to enjoy Christmas at home. Love you and praying for you.

[@ariannalynnemusic]

Mary you are so strong, and I am going to be praying for you daily. Your positivity is the best medicine you can give yourself right now! NOTHING is going to stop you girl! 💛

[@Jane_Snow_]

Praying for Dear Mary and all her doctors. And for Peter, sometimes the waiting is hard. xx

[@ellak2289]

You should hang Christmas wrapping paper as your door window covering :)

[@LorieLee7]

Elizabeth King great idea!!!

[@spottedtime]

Elizabeth they did, just watch the video. Maybe you should comment after watching the video because they may answer your question or do what you suggest during the video.

[@lauragadille3384]

Elizabeth King sparkle ones

[@lilyhelm7922]

Spottedtime gosh she wasn't hating or anything she was just making a suggestion yes they did it later in the video but she didn't know that yet

[@tw3682]

Why do they cover the window?

[@jamiesingleton2844]

I took over crying for you at the end of the vlog, Mary. Praying that surgery is going great, and hopefully over! I have several hospital days coming up in the next couple weeks and I am so exhausted. today I didn’t get out of bed until 2:30 in the afternoon. My heart and lungs are tired, and my body is so exhausted. You give me so much hope and strength. I have adopted and adapted several of your songs. “I’m awake I’m alive and my head doesn’t even hurt” is my most sang tune. I’m praying for you!!!

[@catloverKD]

At least it wasn't postponed because something was wrong and you got some much needed rest. Hoping it goes well today

[@TraciHilbers]

Thank you for the encouragement Mary and Peter

[@yvonnesiber9803]

As much as you say you're doing okay, I'm sure a few more are just as concwrned as I am about your health, Mary. I admire Peter's unending devotion to see to your well-being. What troopers, you two. Keep on, keeping on. Sending support your way! ❤

[@jocelynmichell5571]

Your an inspiration. As I'm dealing with panic attacks I find comfort in your videos. Speedy recovery to you Mary.

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

I've been having a really hard time with my seizures lately and they're very isolating and stressful but you guys never fail to make me smile and when you say "I'm rooting for all of you" I truly feel it. Mary and Peter, I'm rooting for you guys too. Because you're awesome people. Ain't no numbers gonna stop you and ain't no seizures gonna stop me.

[@laurenelizabeth3541]

the way Ollie looked at Mary was so cute!😊

[@buffy32684]

Sending you all my love!!! You make me tears eyed too. I was diagnosed with JRA when I was 6 and today is my day after Methotrexate (chemo) so I'm feeling crummy, but I know things could be worse. You inspire me so so much. I am going to pray so hard for your numbers to improve and for your surgeries to go well. May god watch over your team and keep you safe!

[@Chronicles1611]

Prayers for God to comfort you Peter and to get Mary through this operation and on the road to healing. ♥

[@jesslchick]

Mary everything you do is so incredible. The fact that you don't let it stop you is amazing. I have so many things going on and I watch these vlogs everyday and it always helps me to do better in my day. Hang in there Mary. And don't feel bad for crying! Every time you crying always start tearing up too! Peter & Mary, you guys are amazing couple.

[@estebritt9555]

Love you guys! You can do it, Mary! Whatever "it" is in the moment, nothing can stop you!

[@deborahr2236]

You are both amazing, Mary you are a wonderfully strong woman and you bring me joy just watching you. God bless x

[@kathygarrison3785]

Your doing such a great job!!! Your a ROCK STAR!!! Your drive and attitude is an example of what we should all strive for. I can't say it enough, your amazing!!! Good luck in your surgeries. We will be here cheering you on.

[@donnapenn9284]

Praying continuously Mary and Peter. I received my order from the Frey Life, thank you. I put my decal, Laugh Every Day in my bathroom mirror as my daily reminder. Ain't no numbers gonna stop me either!

[@PandaTae]

I don't usually comment on videos but I am today. As a future pediatric oncology nurse and as someone who had family in the ICU for a few months last fall/winter I understand the struggle. Somedays you feel good but the numbers and reports say your are at your worst and vice versa. Our bodies are confusing but we have to care for them the best we can. Stay amazing, I definitely find encouragement through your videos.

[@KatandKiwi7]

I love your positive attitude; so inspiring. You are both in our prayers each day!

[@Socialbug1995]

Awe I am praying for you Mary. I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain and will be getting an SI joint ablation Dec. 21 and then a major back surgery in the new year. You two remain so positive and I love it.

[@copingwithbehcets6947]

Mary, your attitude, and Peter, your support, you both seriously give those who are struggling with illnesses, chronic or otherwise, some major encouragement. You guys keep on doing what you're doing

[@kimriggles2450]

I found you guys by accident (a Dollar Tree haul), and boy oh boy am I glad I did. Mary, you are the most positive and encouraging person I've ever "met", and Peter is so supportive and loving. I really enjoy spending time with you guys every day. I can't wait to receive my ornament set and my Laugh Every Day sticker. You two are AWESOME!

[@charislouis3989]

Thinking of you and praying for you, Mary! I know you're working so so hard -- thank you for being so transparent about what you're feeling and going through. You're so inspiring and so mentally and emotionally strong

[@staceycotton2728]

ain't no numbers going to keep me down!! I love it!! My surgery got postpone and I've been having a pitty party, but once again after watching Mary and her amazing strength...you make me realize....Nothing is going to keep me down!! Your room looks so magical...I love it. I've been thinking and praying for you all day Mary and Peter. See you tomorrow ❤☝☺

[@fromcraft2cure]

It's ok to cry, Mary. It shows you have a very compassionate heart. And honestly, thats the best way to be...tears and all.

[@thefuzzypenguin778]

You are so strong and brave. I'm glad you have your dog and your helpful husband.

[@ElloetteLightbringer]

Mary you are an extraordinary woman - and you too Peter (man though not woman!) . It's so clear you rely on the Lord for your strength! Bless you both as you come through this surgery! Praying that it makes life a bit more possible for you both! xxx

[@Nooklover74]

You're an inspiration. When I feel like whining about my aches and pains I now just think there's always somebody out there that's having a worse day than me. Hope all goes well when you get home soon.

[@terib9085]

Glad to hear the procedures went well!! Hallelujah, praise God for answered prayers! Can't wait for tomorrows dose of The Frey Life

[@allergiesrusdb]

It's OK to cry and be emotional Mary. I've become more emotional since my body has been hit with this life threatening disease. The more I get hit with anaphylaxis, the more I realize how tenuous my life is. And that I'm thankful for every day I get to be here. It makes me more emotional and more introspective on what is important each day. Love ya girl!

[@mckinleylemm9948]

You are in my prayers, hope anything is going well. Love you guys

[@greyschu3476]

I'm a nurse in Canada where healthcare is free, and can't help thinking about all the medical costs associated with Mary's care and hoping that you have good insurance so that none of that cost falls on you. I don't know if I could do my job knowing that the costs of my (paediatric!) patients' care was coming out of the pocket of their families.

[@Lauras0801]

Best of luck, prayers being sent your way. You are strong and have a wonderful husband by your side!

[@ThisBubblyJESUSFreak]

Mary is the troopiest trooper I've ever seen!! YOURE AMAZING, MARY!!! Cheering you on and praying for your recovery!! Hugs! It's been a super crazy week for me, but I just have to praise the LORD. I don't usually like to share personal things in comments, but I just have to praise the Lord Jesus Christ. Earlier this year, my mom had intense pain in her abdomen and wound up having a CT scan. The scan showed she had a large fibroid, but the cause of her pain was later determined to be her gallbladder. She had the gallbladder removed, but she needed to have this fibroid remobved. So, recently, she had a major surgery to remove it, and some other things. Yesterday Mom met with her doctor who said pathology called, and that that's never a good thing. Fibroids are basically ALWAYS benign, never any kind of problem, and totally harmless. Mom had an extremely rare, EXTREMELY aggressive cancer in the fibroid. It multiplies/grows so quickly it as if it is bubbling. It is the most aggressive cancer of its kind. Her doctor said her case was exceptionally rare, in that they caught it before it was too late to treat. It is also always found when the patient will die soon. She said that if Mom hadn't have had the surgery when she did, she would probably have been dead in a few months. My Mom's life was saved through this procedure, and we just found out about it yesterday. I am overwhelmingly grateful to God for His unmatchable kindness, and immeasurable mercy toward my family and I. My Mom is my best friend, my person. She will have more surgery soon to remove other areas that could've been affected. We are rejoicing beyond any kind of rejoicing we've ever done before, and trusting God with the future. No matter what, He is always good!!! Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ!!!

[@ThisBubblyJESUSFreak]

Without the gallbladder issue, she would've never found out about the fibroid, and would likely be dying right now. Praise the LORD!!!!!

[@TaliyahMC]

You guys are amazing! I know I keep saying that but it is so true!...Here and praying!

[@LUCKEY11202.]

It's great to see that Mary, finished her procedures and she is resting. God bless you

[@SYRSALLY]

Omgoodness. Surgery right now??? God Bless you and keep you safe through this time. Love you precious girl. And you too Peter. You're such a wonderful husband and caregiver. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MariLiisDuglas120]

I have been really quite ill for the past 8 or so weeks, had a chest infection etc and been coughing a lot and it has just made me appreciate Mary so so much more - I really cannot imagine what you must go through on a daily basis and it is truly incredible how you are still able to be so positive and such an inspiration 💜 praying that all the surgery has gone well and that the recovery isn't too rough for you

[@tammypoth5481]

Hope all went well with surgery. Hang in there, u got this!

[@megaplompful]

Mary, Your positivity about the situation is amazing! You are such a good example to me and to others to always stay positive, no matter what situation they're in and I love it! Much love and stay strong :)

[@tammybowling4697]

I too do the whole emotional/cry/talk thing and I am going through nothing like you dear Mary. Keep on keeping on girl! You are such an inspiration to people of all walks of life.

[@viviandivine778]

Your positive attitude is such encouragement to everybody else, and I continue to pray for you daily. GOD is in control.

[@ceciliafuentes3299]

Thank God she came out of her procedures okay. I am so thankful Peter that you gave us an update. We will continuing praying for both of you.

[@interludeadventures508]

I hope you're feeling better today and everything goes well with your surgeries. When you said you were so exhausted, I already thought your numbers would be down. When you're tired and exhausted, every physical activity is twice as hard and from the few clips I have seen of doing PFTs it does look like work. You were beat down yesterday. Doesn't mean your numbers can't be up next time. Thinking of you and sending healing thoughts. You're in inspiration.

[@heypeople2926]

prayers!!! love yall both. God's got this!

[@fishalope5]

i vote you pick a netflix series and binge watch while healing from the multitude of procedures, the office is rather funny, and long enough that you won't run out. Mary, walmart (or another store) might have battery operated lights so that you dont have to be teatherd to a wall.

[@TraciHilbers]

Elizabeth i got some plain simpl little light set that is battery operated from dollar tree

[@theworkathomemama7148]

Elizabeth she should watch Gilmore Girls! The new ones...

[@andreabruce8151]

WatH Mama i agree, they should watch the New Gilmore Girls.

[@lilyhelm7922]

WatH Mama I was literally just saying that

[@shawnanicole4962]

Praying for a swift recovery for you Mary!

[@mimaclaree]

Gosh, I don't usually get emotional when youtubers speak about caring about how our day or week is going, but today I have. I want to thank you guys for your vlogs, they are wonderful and inspiring. Mary your strength to fight through your CF is incredible, and you can keep going, we all love and believe in you. Thank you for genuinely caring about your subscribers. This week has been one of the worst weeks of my life, and just knowing that you are sending out so much love to everyone means so much. Thank you again.

[@sharonhenwood5339]

your an inspiration to so many your spirit never gives up and you find joy in each day your room looks amazing sending a hug

[@allielove7787]

Thank you for the encouragement Mary and Peter. I need it after finding out my heart function dropped a couple months ago, and then my PFT's dropping three weeks ago because of my heart condition. I have been pretty down today. You guys really madden my day better with the encouragement.

[@lillyvenus2581]

I have not prayed in 8 years, but today I prayed for you. good luck Mary

[@baylajacobson4332]

Hi Mary we are Bronch Buddies! I go for an outpatient bronch at 2:30 Pacific Time. Hope your 4 procedures go smoothly. Hope recovery is simple

[@DreyaArt]

hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers and that I am so happy that I stumbled onto your channel. you guys make me feel not so alone. Thank you for giving us hope. much love from Canada ❤

[@justdonkeys723]

Oh by the way, saw you vlog about advocating for double beds in hospital. In my room there's my hospital bed, but also a double sofa bed for partners or family! A coffee table, easy chair and kitchenette, exercise bicycle, plasma tv and Xbox (I choose a book though) amongst other services for us 'VIP' patients! Very lucky to have such a specialist CF ward. It makes those long stays and the exhausting medical regime on top of our exhausting condition a bit more bearable and homely.

[@rubyguevara1877]

Mary your bravery is inspiring. Patients like you are the reason I continue to pursue my career as a Respiratory Therapist. Prayers are being sent your way for a speedy recovery from these current procedures. May life continue to bring you continuous blessing. 🙂

[@lizlee3487]

This is one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. 💕

[@PrincessMax360]

You are so strong Mary. Good luck with surgery. You're lucky to have Ollie and Peter.

[@MDSMITH9]

You are truly a inspiration. I have cirrhosis from a metabolic disease attacking my liver and have developed Hepatic Encepalothopy which is caused by high ammonia levels and it causes issues very similar. I watch your show to help me remain uplifted and encouraged when the pain and exhaustion is severe. Thank you for keeping on pushing as it reminds me to never give up and remain positive.

[@dawnlowery75]

praying for all, hope surgery went well!

[@kittymervine6115]

you inspired me again. Have I done EVERYTHING? Hmmm, do my PT today. If Mary can, I can. Also I feel so good that you share the hospital with us all. Because it's obvious if caring could cure illness.... there would be none. It was so wonderful that people come and decorate your room! :) So extra loving thoughts for tomorrow! (sorry to post so much! IT was just as it went on I had more to say) OK, "Ain't letting no sore ankle stop my walk, ain't letting no sore ankle stop my walk...." (If I may borrow your tune!)

[@theoneandonlytardis9535]

You guys make me stop in whatever I am doing and rethink my attitude to the things going on in my life. Thank you so much!

[@nancibranson1070]

thanks for updating us Peter...keeping all of you lifted up to the Lord

[@Emshep64]

[@Marie13623]

You just have to let go all the control. I know it's hard but you will get through this. I managed it too and life without ana's voice every day is so great!

[@Emshep64]

[@wolfsrule100]

You are so encouraging! Many prayers sent your way as you go through the recovery process.

[@amandaf251]

According to twitter, Mary should be in surgery right now. We're all pulling for you! You got this, Mary!

[@EmLovesCW]

Mary, you're one of the strongest people I've ever come across. You do you, girl. You're doing GREAT!!!!!!

[@buddycraig4083]

So happy to hear that all went off today as planned. We are cheering for you Mary! For a little smile during your recovery, I thought that I would share the name of the hands on hips pose that you were standing in when you were beginning to tell us about your numbers. When your armpits are sweaty and you want to stand and casually air them out without drawing too much attention to yourself, it is called....the Peter Pan pose;). Hehehehe....

[@donnabrown4349]

I am so sorry Mary. This is heart breaking for you.

[@MagicNailArts]

every single video I watch, I am amazed by Mary's strength! It's so inspiring!

[@maddies3685]

I really appreciated your little talk to us at the end. Just like you, I am in a tricky spot with treatment. My doctors don't know what is causing my issues and don't really know what to do with me anymore. It's really nice to see that there is someone else out there who gets it (although it stinks that anyone has to "get it" in the first place). Thanks for the positivity and motivation

[@noahsark1962]

Hang in there Mary.May you heal quickly from today's procedures.

[@facemonkey13]

I'm so grateful for you both. You set such a good example of what a happy, healthy life should look like. Physical health fades for everyone, but it's how one chooses to conduct themselves that makes all the difference. Watching you go through your struggles with so much strength and grace shows me what that looks like in reality. It was never modeled for me. My life is better because of your example. I love you guys and appreciate you so very much.

[@MsLu02]

I have to much love for you, Mary. Peter and Oliver too, of course. But seeing you go through everything with a positive attitude and the determination to keep living your life as best you can, really makes my heart swell. You have helped me see the best in my life and take nothing for granted. 💜

[@sandimasmama823]

Child Life specialists are the BEST!! You are both so awesome! Good luck in surgery. God bless you!

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

Thank you Peter for letting us know. I am now going to be praying for her. Just know you all are loved so much and we just lock arms through prayer and lift each other up. That's how we roll! God Bless! Now I will be praying.

[@TheSightOfTheStars]

Thanks for putting out these vlogs. Your positive attitude really brightens my day. I've been dealing with bronchitis for going on 5 weeks now, and have a greater understanding of what Mary has to deal with constantly. Hearing you talk about keeping up treatment and doing the best you can is incredibly encouraging, as no matter what I do, my cough seems to keep getting worse, so y'all's perspective on it has helped me immensely. I hope that all of your procedures today go well. and that your recovery is as smooth and speedy as possible! God's blessings to you!

[@glendapine1609]

I am so happy everything went well, Mary I no you will never stop smiling, you are an inspiration to all of us.

[@rybo510]

Bless you. Emphathize with you every day, I have Epilepsy and I feel sorry for myself every day. Every day IS a gift and YOU taught me too believe. I see your strength. It makes me realixe things could be worse. I am sorry for my typing. Epilepsy has affected every part if my brain.

[@bobbihammett7823]

Been think about and praying for you today Mary. I hope all procedures go smoothly and perfectly! You've got this! God's got this!

[@Laurana07]

We're here for you Mary and Peter! I'm sending you my strength for this surgery, and recovery. See you soon.

[@lolak3044]

Thank you! Today has been hard for me. But seeing how optimistic you are, how much faith you have and how kind you are gave me some new strength. Strength to keep fighting my personal battles. I wish you all the best. ❤

Awesome work on keeping us updated Peter! Hoping for a speedy recovery mary and glad to hear everything went according to plan :)

[@izzyreads4181]

Thankyou for making these videos everyday, I have severe Crohn's disease and today I had a hard day but seeing your faces at the end of my day always cheers me up, Mary you are so strong and peter too, good luck for you operations and recovery 💕

[@liahonagirl]

Ahh, Mary! Speaking as someone who has fully embraced the fact that she's gonna cry whether something's happy, hard, sad, or just emotional, don't worry about those tears. Sometimes the love we feel is just so BIG that it has nowhere to go except to start leaking out of our eyes. :)

[@user-rp7ft5qp8i]

Being in the hospital is so exhausting! You're not in your bed, you get woken up all the time, etc etc. being in the hospital is to get better, and the resting is done at home. Hoping for a smooth recovery!
