I saw the video about you on Inside Edition recently. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. From an Ohio native to another... from a Ritchey to a Ritchie... you have my prays with you. 🙏🏻✝️

[@emusedone]

Good for you, people ask me all the time why I didn’t self advocate for this or that. You’re right to know when to trust your doctor’s decision and when you feel you need to maybe talk something over with them. Keeping you in my prayers 💜

[@cleoh666]

Your vlogs are getting me through a really tough night, thank you 😚🥰

[@davidcharlesfisher5692]

I’m sorry you’re going through this Hannah. I have a similar problem but it’s because I had stomach cancer and my stomach was removed. I lost 100 lbs (I am a 6’ tall lean muscled guy who worked out at the gym 4-5 days a week and went from 227 to 127 lbs and ended up after 4 reconstructive surgeries with a jejunostomy tube but without I struggle daily. Fortunately that lasted a year to get my weight up to a safer 170 but I still suffer daily with terrible abdominal pain when I “eat”, and on top of all this I had been diagnosed with autoimmune celiac disease so even what I CAN eat tastes terrible. It’s one day at a time. You’re not alone.

[@Kittikee10]

I'm glad you got the chance to go out to the lake and live it up! I'm rooting for you Hannah to have many more moments like these! Sending you love 💕💕

[@ubellie1980]

Found you through the news. I, too, suffer from severe Gastroparesis, in addition to many other incurable diseases. I am on F/T TPN and LOVED going to the lake and/or ocean to swim. I have been on TPN for over 5 yrs now, I MISS swimming! I live in AZ and have a pool that I can’t swim in anymore. I also had to have my bladder removed, so have a pouch too plus still have a G/J Jet Tube for medications and venting. So glad to see you push through and hit the lake before getting your line!! I would’ve too;-)!! Peace and blessings to you always and “never give up!” 🙏 PS~ hope you can continue the IVIG! I’ve been getting treatments monthly for 2 yrs and it’s reduced my hospital stays greatly! I still have NO immune system despite the IVIG, but it’s helping me for sure. God bless🙏

[@nicolemoore9896]

I'm also fighting with chronic illnesses we are fighting warriors we can get through this!

[@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289]

Good job Hanna you are so strong ! Im proud of you for pushing forward every day!

[@aviasara4526]

I'm getting a Hickman soon too, you are so inspiring and i appreciate you and your videos💕

[@faithfullygolden6905]

It was so nice to see you out there having fun and your sisters are all so adorable. It's good to go out and get some sunshine and fresh air, even if it's on Lake Erie! 🤭 (I live close to Akron so I can get away with saying that) I hope more opportunities will arise for you to get out and that you feel good enough to participate. I look forward to your next update and hearing that you are feeling better and better all of the time!! 💗🙏🏻

[@rawisbabyboy210]

Hope everything gets better

[@beccaschlomann7592]

I’m so glad you went out on the jet ski! I was watching and hoping you’d decide to go for it. You and your sister looked like you had so much fun. It’s such a hard call to make when you know you don’t feel good and will pay for doing something like that but you also need to live your life and take advantage of those opportunities to have fun.

[@imthinkingmaybe2615]

Well said Becca. I feel the same way.

Glad you felt well enough to go out and Jet Ski with your sisters looked like lots of Fun!! Glad you enjoyed yourself on the 4th I'm in Washington D.C so the fireworks you saw were a lot better than the ones I barely saw lol

[@atolavisuals]

[@maryroser]

I found your story on inside edition and I’ve been binge watching your videos ever since. I too suffer from Gastroparesis. Mine is not nearly as bad as yours but I do know the struggle. I am in the beginning phases of getting mine diagnosed and sorted out so I know how frustrating it can be. At times I’ve felt like giving up and I feel so overwhelmed and hopeless but when I found your channel I saw how much of a strong woman you are and how despite everything you’ve been through, you haven’t given up. You are younger than me but you have inspired me to keep going and to keep fighting. No one should have to endure what you have endured but I truly believe that you are so special and blessed and that everything will work out for you. Keep believing and inspiring others, just like you inspired me. You’ve also given me a lot of knowledge about Gastroparesis and now I feel more educated on the topic and what treatments might work for me. Hang in there. You got this.

[@SimplyHannah98]

Thank you so much for reaching out. You literally have no idea how much it means to me. Sending positive thoughts and prayers you get it figured out soon!

[@maryroser]

Thank you so much for responding! I pray everything works out for you. I have no idea how you stay so strong. Today has been a bad day for me and all I can do is lay around and cry. I am in awe at your strength and determination. God has blessed you with that.

[@marissaclifford4882]

I love your Mikey shirt! I love your eyeshadow color! I'm glad you made the decision to jet ski! It's so cool you got to drive the jet ski! I hope your pain gets better! Poor you having aseptic meninjitus and then a new Hickman placed. I love you so much! I'm glad you got to see fireworks, and I love your blue eyeliner! I'm so sorry to hear you got a stomach bug, glad it went away relatively quick! 🙏🙏💓💓💓❤❤❤💜💜

[@praisedalord58]

I was so happy to see you & your sister on the lake! Y’all are both so cute! I love your eyeliner! You’ve always been so great with make up! I do hope you’re feeling better today! I truly enjoyed chatting with you yesterday on Instagram! You are my friend for life! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@AlexxAdamsSydneyStaggs]

Hi Hannah Ritchie I Hope you To Get Feeling better Soon

[@WearySecret]

Love the eye shadow color. Lake goals... I unknowingly fell off a giant unicorn float before getting to the dock... Probably not the best idea for a pots person to not be wearing a life vest. Thankfully, I don't pass out but I did look like a lake monster after I got out. Weeds, alge, and silt and once on land, a few Canada goose poop mines.

[@camsins4959]

THANKS FOR DOING GODS WORK HANNAH..YOU SHINE SO BRIGHT 🌠🖤⭐

[@dbunk6821]

I hope u would have the best life, feel better💕❤

[@spinstercatlady]

Glad you had a good 4th lady! The country club behind my house sets off fireworks every year, and it's so fun to just set outside and watch them. Although I took a nap, overslept, dreamed there was war and woke up to the fireworks 😂😂 I'm a total Colourpop addict too, so completely understand haha!

[@libbygibson5612]

Glad you got out and had some fun!😊

[@AxeLady66]

It's good to have fun when you can! 🌞

Feel bad for you but you can stay strong and get better

[@caseycombs4282]

Hi Hannah, I'm glad you're Hickman line was put in better this time. I get the feeling of being run over by a truck, I feel that a lot with my illness. I'm going through a trial run of waking up early, showering, being really active every day for a week to see if I can handle public high school.

[@ekscholl]

Have fun Hannah! 😍

[@sistercarriefoster7706]

Im praying for you in the name of the Lord Jesus! I saw your story on IE I wouldnt wish that on anyone... Its the simple things most of us take for granted. Like just being able to eat. You want to eat but when you eat it won't stay down. Lord, help us to be thankful for the simple things. Again im praying for you, sister. I love you! 🙏😊😇

I’m so glad to see you feeling better & catching a break! 😘 Hey, Hannah I have a Beauty question for you. I’ve noticed when you are made up (gorgeous!) you are using a tinted powder on your hair around your face & on your parts where scalp would show. It looks great and was wondering what product it is. I’m wondering because I really need that. Will you share?.

[@hannahdietz259]

You are a strong woman and I hope you feel better

[@ThatOneHispanic]

I’m so sorry for you but listen everything will be ok I’ve been really sick to but everyone in this world is so strong even you I hope you feel better remember to stay true to your self and keep fighting you ill ness

[@JustineMc92]

Your comment about Lake Erie being gross 😂 I don't know which is worse, Lake Erie or Lake Ontario lol. So glad you got to get out and enjoy it though while you had no line in!

[@IziGryffindor]

Hope you're doing good. I also suffer from gastroparesis

[@daniellebrooks1440]

Lol omg I do the same thing with the little pocket shirts!!

[@SimplyHannah98]

HAHAHA love it! It's such a good little tip!

[@kerrysmiles]

Actually, Hickman's are less infection risk than a port. I have been infection free because of mine for over a year. I hope you can try IVIG again. It took so six months before I started noticing a difference and now I can eat better again. Are you in any of the IVIG neuropathy groups? That make me feel much better about meningitis and giving it another go after. Sending lots of love to you and painful line. I needed strong meds after my Hickman placement. It's a bigger procedure they give it credit.

[@viviansyoutube8157]

😍

[@florencesnyder6125]

You live in a beautiful area, prayers honey, anytime you get the chance to enjoy yourself go for it

[@amberyingling840]

It is always best to make an individual decision with your dr on what type of central line. Ports are not always golden either... There are new studies showing that ports increase infection risk when accessed 24/7 because of the resivour where things can collect. Ive had several ports, Groshongs, hicks, IJCCs, and a reduculous amount of PICCS. I have experienced pros and cons for all and it really is individualized as to which works best for the situation.

[@embreadiment]

I hope you are cured from your illness, Hannah. hello yes earth here

[@yogabirds]

Hi Sweetie! I’ve not been on much in the past two months. Severe mast cell reactions from the mold in my apartment as a result of a bad leak from the roof at our apartment has left me in the ER and now brothers place for 6 weeks now. They’ve done everything my doctor advised and I can hopefully go home Monday! You have been through the wringer with all of this you are in my thoughts and prayers! It’s wonderful to see you smiling and having fun! I’m guessing most of your immune issues are mainly secondary to steroids with a small part of it being your genetic make up. I’ve been on it monthly since 1990 for a primary immune deficiency(hypogammaglobulinemia). It helps but as you have seen, it’s not a miracle cure for all people. What it may help with if your doctors would like to try again is decreasing the number of infections you have. I don’t mean to disrespect anyone, but once you’ve been through with all the health 💩 we have, others can’t possibly understand that the best self advocation sometimes is just to listen to and accept your doctors advice. I’m not suggesting that you don’t express your own wishes or to never self advocate, but without a clear diagnosis that accounts for every health issue,the last thing you need or want is a doctor thinking you are making things up or just don’t want to eat. I know you are really sick and you are most certainly not making any of this up, but when you have severe health issues and don’t know 💯 percent why, many doctors will assume and blame health complications on you instead of admitting they don’t know what’s wrong or how to fix it! You are excellent about self advocating and knowing when to let your doctors take the lead! Always go with your gut feeling and if you aren’t sure what your guts are saying, go with your Mother’s gut feeling! When it comes to being a mother, we often know and feel witch path is the right one to take as far as our children are concerned!If you really want to do the jetnskis , rafting, boating, etc. a pool is the safest, followed by the ocean, and then lakes. You can ask what your doctors advise. Mine said with a broviac, I could wear a wet suit as long as I keep my head and neck out of the water. They said I need to get out and shower immediately if I accidentally go under. Living your life in a bubble so you don’t get sick will eventually lead to loneliness and severe depression. There are lots of precautions you can take to decrease your chances of getting sick and still have fun! If you really want to do something but aren’t sure what precautions you should take, ask your health care providers! I know this sounds strange, but does Benadryl ever help decrease your nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain? I know it’s hard to test for and diagnose and even harder to find a doctor willing to help, but my guts are telling me you may very well have mast cell activation syndrome. The doctor that diagnosed mine said she knew what was wrong but that testing me for it may take 5+ 24hr urines to catch it during flairs because there was no way to stop my famotadine, steroids, and iv Benadryl for 3 weeks. My doctor was floored when my results showed extremely high amounts of histamines, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins even on all of the meds. Fortunately, I’ve responded well to the treatments and am overall so much better! I still have symptoms daily but they are much easier to control and I’ve been able to get out and do more now than I had in the years prior to diagnoses! It may be worth while to see if one of your doctors would be willing to order the testing any time you start having increased symptoms. Hang in there! Healing thoughts are coming your way!!!!🥰

[@SimplyHannah98]

I'm so sorry about your reactions! I hope you can get home ASAP and have a speedy recovery. Thank you so so much for this comment, I can't express how much it means to me. I also was told after 6 weeks I can swim in the ocean or pool if I cover up the site and change the dressing immediately after. It still makes me nervous though! Yes, Benadryl does sometimes helps my nausea. I haven't been tested for mast cell because I don't really show any symptoms for it, but I'll look into it. I appreciate it so much!

[@GxldenCraft]

Damn ..... lucky you .. keep being positive

Looks like the effects of the steroids are wearing off... I'm kinda glad I'm allergic to oral steroids because of those effects. So, I'll be at the Cleveland Clinic, intestinal failure unit, main campus, July 18th. I get into Cleveland on the 16th during the early evening. Any tips on dealing with this place?

With your immunodeficiency, aren't you advised against swimming in lakes? There can be harmful algae that your immune system cannot fight. If your team says it's ok then obviously it is, but if it hasn't been brought up, you might want to be careful. I think your a beautiful soul and I'm so grateful you choose to share your experiences.

[@SimplyHannah98]

My doctors have never advised me not to swim in the lake however it's something I rarely ever do. I have a secondary immune deficiency so not nearly as severe as a primary immune deficiency. Thank you so so much! It really means a lot to me!
