Thanks to EveryPlate for sponsoring today's vlog!
Welcome to The Frey Life daily vlogs! We are Peter & Mary, a married couple in our early 30's, showing the ups and downs of everyday life with #CysticFibrosis, a genetic lung disease that Mary was born with. In August 2019, Mary started a new CF medication that changed the trajectory of our future, and life has changed dramatically - including our son, Elijah, joining our family in December 2021. We also have an adorable standard poodle, Oliver, and a hairless sphynx cat, Harry. It's our hope that these videos can be an encouragement to to celebrate the little things in life and find joy amidst a world full of hard realities!

Watching Peter rub Mary’s back and the pain in his eyes while she coughs is so loving and compassionate. We need more guys like him in this world.

[@juanitaalvarez]

Yes indeed ❤️

[@susanke5256]

He gave her Covid and now he's complaining that she isn't fixing him meals. Oh my... Mary I'm praying that find someone worthy of you.

[@caseyslifewithcp3727]

@@susanke5256 Peter is the best I don't know what you're talking about but she has found her soulmate

[@susanke5256]

@@caseyslifewithcp3727 He should have been wearing a mask. He should have protected her health. And then him saying they don't know how to shop or plan meals. While she is down, Is just evil.

[@meganloves2shop]

Yes I agree with you. I wish i could find a nice guy to be with. I would love to find someone like Peter.

[@Lma894]

The set up looks awesome. Love how you guys were joking even when Mary wasn’t feeling the best. It seemed there was some nervousness with Mary while she was coughing. (rightfully so) The fact Peter was rubbing her back talking about how he didn’t know when the last time he did chest pt…but he did it for her. You two really know how to serve one another well.

[@umaymahanykahfernandes6799]

I heard Mary coughing and started crying . I remember watching her fight so hard in Scotland. Our family is praying that this to shall pass. We love you all.

[@cindygartner157]

I love seeing Peter rubbing your back as you cough and the look of love in his eyes for you. So special to watch you all together. On a quick side note, I would love to hear Peter preach again. Praying for continued healing.

[@rae1957tn]

Mary coughing makes me sad. She hasn’t coughed like that in so long. Please Dear Lord lay your healing hands on her. Peter you’re cute no matter if your hair is poofie

[@lisalawson1513]

Sending prayers and keeping you all in my thoughts. Praying for a swift recovery.

[@ericar2856]

Praying for both of you. Mary, so sorry you do not feel well, but know you are loved and prayed for.

[@jessicarodman3569]

Thank you for all the hard work you put into the items you sell, those little details do not go unnoticed we appreciate you!

[@melissacaudell1622]

Feel better soon. Praying for you guys. Sending lots of hugs and prayers ❤ your way

[@jdhenk]

Oh my goodness, I really hope you are all well soon and Mary improves fast.

[@maddieadams75]

I realize it’s been a month, I hope you all have recovered nicely ♥️ 🙏

[@lilbopeep6457]

Mary I hate to see you sick. It has been so long since you were unwell that it is a surprise to see you this way. I pray God will keep covid at bay and you will heal soon. I love you guys and you are the highlight of my day.

[@alexiahilsen9712]

I have cf as well, I also got covid a few weeks ago🤦‍♀️ my cough was absolutely awful and I couldn’t keep anything down for days, I’ve made a full recovery now but wow it was an experience

[@albussnape2]

Wishing you all full recovery soon. 🙏

[@Jen.E]

You guys are such a cute little family. You seem like a really old married couple stuck in young bodies with your sweet little baby boy. Elijah is so blessed to have you as parents. 💗

[@Joyce-dd3fm]

Feel better soon. So sorry that Mary is struggling!

[@skogbear]

i just started sewing and i was thinking i hadn't seen mary sew in a long while!! so happy to see it 😊

[@Drbethturtlewoman]

Mary, the antibiotic you are taking crosses the blood brain barrier so that weird feeling you got was indeed the levaquin. Prayers for you guys ,

[@bethgramkow5225]

I have bad asthma and I coughed so hard this morning. I feel for Mary

[@kathleengreen9660]

What a gorgeous gorgeous baby boy you have. I am so very happy for you guys. I am so that that that medication worked so well that you were able to adopt.

[@babybluecheeks]

The worst part of having covid both times I've had it is after it goes away, I felt exhausted for at least 2 months after each time. Just be prepared for that.

[@nleb1993]

They are better now. These videos are about a month or rwo behind. I was tired for a month or two after I had Covid 2

[@brookes4148]

Same here. And I have asthma and def have more issues since having had covid. I know that won’t be everyone’s experience it it was mine.

[@AmyAndThePup]

Haven't heard Mary cough like this in a long time. :( I'm praying for you, Mary, for your lungs to heal from this nasty virus, and heal well. And peter, I'm praying for you that your recovery is also full, and that you don't have any lasting effects. Hang in there, all of you.

[@eleanorpowell6013]

I can sympathise with you. Just had covid for the first time. My head was so bad couldn't get comfy or be free of the pain and the temp was 84.7. Awful. Hope you feel better soon and your antibiotics kick in quick. Love and prayers take care all. X

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

Your meals always look awesome. Mine aren’t creative or “healthy” but are tasty and quick and I don’t meal plan either. Feel better soon Mary!

[@VulcanOnWheels]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, Peter.

[@Sunflowerxbabe]

The nostalgia!! I LOVE that you have a little tv like that. Pretty sure we still have ours that was the exact same one somewhere in our basement. I have so many movies on vhs, but I don't have a working vcr at the moment. Also, I love your setup for your working area! It looks great!

That is how I met you two cuties - now you five cuties: PT. I was KZbin searching how to do it when I was first diagnosed with bronchiectasis and MAC back in 2018. You have been a God send to me. Nothing taste good to me at all. I did make vegetable chicken soup and I did make my vegetable bone beef broth too! Another life saver for sure! Get all that up and out Mary! I am praying for your healing. ❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

Shots or not you still need to wear a mask out and when you are around friends and family cause you still can get Covid, my sister works at a hospital and she said the numbers are going up.

[@k.pep.1253]

Too funny, your PT video from yeeeaaarrsss ago keeps being suggested to me on KZbin

[@megantridgell5931]

omg my brain 🧠 since COVID and I still have the cough. I really hope u are feeling better Mary ❤️

Yeah, that sewing machine set up would murder my back after about 5 minutes. I can't wait to see new store stuff!! I've been stalking your store site daily 😂

[@patriciaroy5013]

Mary has often made ingredients and meals to freeze them when needed. I think you both have always shopped and cooked well. Hope Mary feels better soon. Stay blessed 💜.

Just keep wearing your masks wherever you're outside.

[@catherinekennedy7731]

I also have been taking epsom salt baths for the discomfort.

[@lezup]

Mary, I hope you are feeling better soon. Darn this Covid stuff. Peter I hate coming up with meals. In my experience Levaquin makes you feel bad before it starts helping. Make sure Harry knows where you move his litter box. Cool that he has his own room. He will love that space when Elijah starts moving around.

[@rhiannonrobertsroberts7038]

Sorry you don't feel good. Get better soon💜

[@lydiamoore142]

I love your hair like this

Tame that bouffant with leave on conditioner or styling products. It actually isn't too out of control yet. You guys look pretty good considering Covid!

[@jenniferwatts3777]

Yes

[@jamiesingleton2844]

Ooh I want to see those teal shirt design!

[@lilbitofjoy6130]

I had Covid in March and got it again mid July. The first round was awful. I slept for 3 days. I mean SLEPT. I do not even remember those three days I was so sick. This second back to back round in mid July I was down for a week. No energy. Slept most the week. High high fever. Back and forth to the hospital twice. It was rough. A month later i am still having lingering affects. I was hoping when I got it the second time it would be less symptoms and sickness being that I had just had it 4 months prior. No such luck. I had total immunity break through. I am now learning that even if you are vaccinated or had a prior round of Covid does not matter with this strain. It has no mercy. I am considered healthy. Having such a rough time both times and then knowing your situation with Cystic Fibrosis, I am THRILLED to see you are doing well with it that you can be on camera filming etc. That makes me happy. Of course you are going to have sickness with the virus but you are rocking this girl. As sick as I was with it both rounds, when I learned you had it I feared the worst and expected to not see anything from you for a while. SO thankful with your lungs in the situation they are in due to your illness and doing so much better than I did both rounds I AM SO THANKFUL.... Continuing to Pray.............

[@carolynhall1302]

Beautiful!

[@bobbieboo92519]

That’s my favorite movie!! 💗

I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the new set up ☺️. What do you use those bags that you were sewing tags onto for? There cool ☺️.

[@kaylabarnes]

I have that one on VHS too. (We've got Disney+ now which has it on there I think, which is a good thing, because VHS player bit the dust a long time ago.

[@hweil999]

Mary, that could cry feeling over something little bcuz of feeling sick is real. Also man I miss VHSs.

[@bogiboglin2702]

I've used my sewing machine while sitting on my floor it's kinda fun

[@joygross]

Oh gosh.. I feel so bad you are having to cough so hard. I hope it gets better soon. I love how you can sit on the floor and sew lol If I did that I would need assistance to get up off the floor lol. Take care ❤

Mary you poor thing hope you feel better soon just take one day at time love from Eugenie your friend xxx from Australia 😴😔💓🏡

[@elainehardy3502]

Levaquin made me feel crazy won't retake. My sister took it and seen 4 of everything.

[@caseyslifewithcp3727]

It is so sad to see her like that again even though thankfully now it will only last a little while

[@susanharris1285]

Make a list of dinners for the week

[@rhaewynsmom]

Flouroquinolones can pass the blood brain barrier and wreak havoc causing symptoms of depression and a lot of other issues too. I get super depressed when I take them and feel like I’m dragging so bad. I have to remind myself that it’s just side effects from the medication until I get through them. I also get night time insomnia as well on it!

[@astorybookfinish5055]

Oh my. Please get an ergonomically sound set up for that sewing machine!

[@sophieamarant1536]

I’ve been using home chef for about a year

[@drivesecure2476]

Wow the food sounds good what time is dinner hope she feels better !!!

Bufont or not you have nice hair. Every plate seems like a great idea. Great sowing Mary feel better family God bless.

[@JulieR73]

Mary, I’m looking for a new sewing machine. What kind do you have? I don’t know much about them.

[@moneysports1793]

My friend had CF. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS WEIRD BUT SHE USE TO ROLL UP UP LITTLE BALLS OF PURE BUTTER COATED IN SUGAR AND LET IT DISSOLVE IN HER MOUTH. IT REALLY HELPED WITH HER COUGHING AND CHEST.

[@catherinekennedy7731]

Wow! Why do you think it helps? I am Curious. I am performing airway clearance techniques 3-4 times per day. It has helped my lungs stay clear. This is Day 15 of COVID for me!

[@debbieyoung8897]

You push the play button to find out the tape was not rewind. So aggravating. Hope you start feeling better.

[@karenbonham1359]

Quick question are you guys better?

I was gonna try everyplate but they don’t deliver in my area :(
