POST-SURGICAL FEEDING TUBE CARE! (5.6.17)

[@oliverandsarah6412]

I was recently in the hospital and got an NG tube, so when i could finally get it out i started singing "I aint got no tube in my nose, in my nose" and remembered how positive you were about it so i tried to stay positive to:) Have a wonderful day!

[@lorisanford8515]

You are so sweet...I sure hope your doing better now !! :0)

[@oliverandsarah6412]

thank you so much:)

[@oliverandsarah6412]

yes it is!

[@christine0701]

I had the same Strawberry Candy reaction...i was like "who DOESN'T like those candies!!"

[@jujupianolover]

I was volunteering in the hospital two weeks ago and I saw a couple walking into the elevator with a very familiar looking dog. I looked up at you guys and realized that both of you looked really familiar. And then it dawned on me that I'm subscribed to you guys on youtube!! Mary you are so strong and beautiful, and such an inspiration to me! And Peter, your love and loyalty towards Mary is so amazing and beautiful! You are a really good guy. Keep up with the inspiring videos and i'll keep both of you in my prayers

[@thefreylife]

Oh no way! So good to meet you in passing :)

[@sweetbetsyfarm2779]

Judy Nie , this made me laugh that you recognized Ollie first. When we walk through town, all kinds of people recognize and say hello to our dog. Apparently she is a social butterfly at doggy daycare?

[@Brooke52528]

You're looking much brighter Mary girl 😊😊

I love your channel. I have asthma that has had me a few trips in an ambulance. I get so afraid everytime I can't breath. I can't imagine how you feel when it happens to you. thank you so much for just being you. BIG HUGS to Mary Peter and allie.

[@emilyfoga8893]

My grandmother always had the strawberry candy. I loved going to her house and having them. To this day when I have them it is like a hug from her.

[@shellyf3130]

Love to see Mary is feeling better and eating a whole cake with ice cream! It was so sweet to see Peter and Mary holding hands as she said his touch makes her feel better last night kissing his hand. Keep improving Mary. We love you both.

[@2listening1]

My Mom would be proud of you for working in the middle of the night Mary!

[@heyitsem5375]

you guys have given me the inspiration to start my own daylie vlogs with my medical problems aswell

[@kswizzle3531]

I'm 3 days post op from a major surgery and watching your videos is making this experience so much better. Thanks Mary and Peter!! Love you both!! You've gotten me through the last few years :)

[@moriganna67ify]

So glad to see Mary feeling better! I just love you guys! Dale Tribe spoke about you today about the Cystic Fibrosis campaign. They showed a shirt with Mary lungs on it. ♥♥❇♥♥ Love them too thanks to you guys!

[@cindyherschberg9382]

ooooooh LIVE STREAM !!! #GIVEAWAY !! I AM SO THERE ! LIVE CHAT WITH PETER AND MARY !! YAY MADE MY DAY !!

[@dundeedell1960]

I remember those strawberry candies. You would find them in Hickory Farms packages

[@siobhanbeith5556]

Mary, your wounds look great - you're healing very well. Thank goodness for laparoscopic surgery as opposed to needing a full laparotomy incision, almost the width of your abdomen, as would of been required in the not too distant past. I love how the surgeons respected your request of not using your belly button as a port site, as is usually the case. It would be wonderful if you have seen the end of the acute abdominal pain. If it returns I know Peter will make the right decision as to whether the ER is required or not. Your bravery and positivity help and inspire a multitude of people, including me. Healing hugs.

[@jshrier7]

Those candies are my favorite!!!!! Always have been! I love the dollar tree and I'm so glad they are there!!!! Your looking so much better! Glad everything's going well!!!! I know what you go thru. I have multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. It's a struggle. Feeling horrible one day and then feeling like you can take over the world. It's hard to deal with but you can't let your chronic illness take over your life! Your a inspiration to everyone! Love y'all!

[@kishashante]

I'm with Peter! I love those strawberry candies! My aunt would always give them to us to keep us quiet at church when I was a kid.

[@luciefrancis3722]

I see your vlogs when I wake up in the uk , so it's great to see Mary so well again make my day start well

[@TheatreBugJJ]

Toby Mac is my favorite! So glad you're feeling better, Mary!

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

We've been making our own sushi with imitation crab, cucumber, asparagus, and a Siracha mayo. I think it's the best thing in the world

[@colormezebra2841]

That pink tree was a Pink Dogwood. Very easy to grow and very decorative and won't "over-grow" too big for a front (or back) yard.

[@annaleekay4623]

those candies are actually good! my 91 year old grandfather always had a huge basket of them and so those have always reminded me of my childhood!

[@thefreylife]

I'm so glad we aren't the only ones who like them ;)

[@debradonley3825]

It's so good to see you back to being energetic and full of life, Mary. Do you want to hear about some weird weather? Last week where I live, about 30 miles from Los Angeles, the weather was HOT. Very near 100 degrees. Today, we had hard rain, thunderstorms, and SNOW! It actually stayed on the ground for a few hours. It was bone chilling cold, IN MAY! Loved your sunny day and bright smiles.

[@rousingtherelics]

We love the strawberry candies in our home! So very glad you're doing so well and feel better, Mary. God bless you three!

[@nikkistarz8947]

I've had the candies dozens of times. My grandma had them around Christmas time quite a bit. I like them.

[@sydneycalderon1856]

I had to renew my license and I just received it.. Your and your sister's stories inspired me to register to be an organ donor. My last license I got when I was 16 so I had no idea the importance, but I'm now much happier that in my absence I can help those in dire need or on the list like you, Mary. Thank you for being such an inspiration, keep trekking!

[@thefreylife]

Thank you so much for choosing to be an organ donor!

[@rachelcinelli8303]

I love that song by Toby Mac! I listen to it all the time!!!

[@thefreylife]

It's so catchy! We love it!

[@lorisanford8515]

What's the name of the song ? :0)

[@rachelcinelli8303]

Lori Sanford it's called Light Shine Bright!

[@AshleyMickelsen]

mary to get my excess glue from my surgical bandages, my nurse told me to use baby oil and a q tip and scrub gently. it worked great! just fyi

[@brittneypaulsen7487]

Tobymac rocks! Hope you enjoyed that song and you're feeling better!

[@tinybug9711]

I love your vlogs so much. I hope you guys get above and beyond your goals for the walks. I love all the educational stuff I get to learn about medical wise. Keep doing what you think you can't do. Love you ❤️

[@XamanthaRose]

Those strawberry candies remind me of my great grandma. She always had dishes of those and the pink canada mints at her house so I love them.

[@ashton3746]

The strawberry candies were my favourite! Back when I was a kid and they allowed people to throw candy from floats at parades I always rushed to get those ones. I'm so glad you are feeling better :)

[@brittySS]

Mary, when this video came out I couldn’t imagine getting out of bed at 3am and being SO excited because of no pain. BUT Oct 2020 I had major abdominal surgery and I now TOTALLY get it! It took me 3months to move without pain, and it wasn’t until Feb 2021 that I could move without feeling weak as a kitten. Gods bless the Frey Life family. Thanks for sharing your journey. PS How is Harry doing??

[@loveandbelovedtoo3777]

Watching some of the Livestream now....I love hearing your magical engagement story at Moody Church! Yes, Moody Church is beautiful!! I belong to another one of Chicago's beautiful, historic churches - Old St. Patrick's. I had breakfast/lunch today (it was 1 PM) after church at Yolk! God Moment....That made me smile when you guys talked about eating at Yolk after your engagement 7 years ago today! Blessings! Congrats! Cheering on from Chicago!!

I've been at home with strep for 4 days and the antibiotics have really messed up my digestive system and ruined my appetite which is bad because I have low blood sugar and a fast metabolism. Thanks to Mary I am literally going to the store to get cake because I feel like that's something I could eat. Thank you for the inspiration! Much love from British Columbia, Canada!!

[@bkomola]

Those strawberry candies are my FAVORITE!!! My grandmother always had them at her house!!!!

[@cindyherget5196]

My daughter had a Mickey G-tube. I learned to change it my self. Great job on your gauze. After the opening heals any time it gets red is because the bulb may not be furl enough you can get "third degree burns" from the stomach acid leaking. I like your Velcro pad thing. I used silk tape. My daughter had it for five years But only used it full time for the first three years. She has 22q an chromosome deletion. She had problems with sick swallow and breathe as a newborn. She shows others he second belly button all the time it healed nicely. The hole begins to close a heal quite fast. I always had a second one on hand especially if we were away from home.

Glad your feeling better Mary, you are one tough cookie. Ollie liked the look of that looser candy. Gotta love our K9 friends, Mine are not service dogs in the true sense of the word but they bring me so much Joy, maybe they are therapy dogs, unofficially. I call them angels in fur coats.
