[@WalkingOnRainbows12]

Aw, hearing u mention me messaging u with my iPad last night means so much a d made me smile a tone. You really do give me strength to fight this chronic illness. I've been watching you every day since day one, and at the moment I've been on my own for the past few days in the hospital and u guys have kept me company. Love to you!!

[@jamiesingleton2844]

Today is my last day at home before my mom and I embark on our 13 hour drive to Ohio to see one of my cardiac specialists. It’s gonna be a very long and exhausting week of driving and sight seeing and hopefully getting a better plan in place. Nervous belly is sorta stirring up already. I’m just trying to not overthink it and just get there, do the appointment, and get on with life.

[@glendaruff125]

Best wishes Jamie.

[@krstnclgrmm21]

Jamie Singleton Good luck with everything and I hope they can figure out a plan for you!! Have a safe trip!!

Happy Birthday Mary!! I hope you had the best birthday you could have had with the circumstances you cant change!

[@lauranorwar]

Happy birthday!! I definitely think you should plan a do-over birthday after IVs. Plan something fun for when your body has recovered from the IV stuff! My dog was sprayed by a skunk once...he was a short haired dog but it was still a hot stinky mess. Even with all the recipes for removing skunk stench, it took a LONG time for the smell to dissipate. It was delightful.

[@charlie8118]

I'm pretty late with this comment, but I started to catch up with your life recently! I just wanted to say that I'm watching you whenever I feel down and depressed (and unfortunately, it happens often). Your joy, your strive to move forward literally keep me going. I learned a lot just from watching your vlogs, not only mental-wise, but also health and medical-wise! Thank you for sharing your story with us!

[@cortneyfoskey4474]

I know you are probably not going to see this because I'm sure you get a ton of comments and you have a life!! :) :) But I thought I'd say something anyway!! Thank you for having this channel!! I have no idea why it came up in my suggested video list but it did and I'm so glad it did and I subscribed after that!! I'm saying that because even though we have different illnesses I understand what you are going through!! I have CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) and multiple back problems! I know you've probably never heard of CRPS because either had I until I got diagnosed with it!! I won't go into super details but I have pain everywhere 24/7. I am concerned full body CRPS. It comes with lots of other symptoms/issues as well that aren't easy to deal with! I even just recently went through IVIG like I heard you mention in a video! For a different reason obviously but I found it interesting you were doing it too. I pray it works for you because sadly it made me worse!! Anyway, I'm not really sure where I'm going with this but just know it is an encouragement for me to see another young couple trying to make it through life with an illness! In many ways my husband is going through this with me just like yours is with you because they live with us and see everything! We can't keep anything from them! If it weren't for my husband, family, and a few friends plus more importantly my relationship with God I would be ending up just like a lot of people on my support group have. The only thing I will say about that is my diseases nickname is "The Suicide Disease". Maybe this sounds stupid but thank you for the encouragement! I will be praying for you and your husband as you continue to deal with your CF!! I will also be praying for your doctor's as well!!

[@ayanvlirick7688]

Amen I second this

[@cortneyfoskey4474]

Ayanvli Rick. Thank you! :) ♡ :)

[@mindyvanhorn3199]

Mary, I couldn't have said it better myself! Keep on keeping on!

[@eej1983able]

Mindy Van Horn Amen! Even if it hurts

[@FiMilton]

This video was perfect timing. My mental health got good enough for me to get my first job and now I’m very overwhelmed and my mental health is declining. Now I realize I just have to adjust my expectations!

[@hrtg1942]

I’m from Texas and I love enjoying a good thunderstorm. I like to hear others enjoy them tool. We are in a drought in central Texas so praying for a good thunderstorm.

Happy Birthday. Make the day the best it can be. Enjoy each moment as they are all important.

[@Natalieogriffin]

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!!! So I'm a groomer... And I watch a lot of your videos while I'm working. It was hilarious to watch the shihtzu I'm working on hunt for the toy! She had a lot of fun! ❤️ Also, I wanted to say thank you guys so much. I've been gaining allergies like crazy. Went from none to not being sure how to feed myself. It's all so new and stressful, and I can't get in for more allergy testing until September 10. Keeping up with you guys helps remind me I'm not alone in health struggles. Even if they are completely different, I'm not alone. And you are able to smile. Every video reminds me to keep on keepin' on. I look forward to the videos every day. Thank you! (Also, gonna wear that new shirt to my appointment in September. Need that extra umph!)

[@ayanvlirick7688]

May you and Peter and Ali be blessed

[@laurwitster6386]

Have an amazing birthday! You deserve to live in the moment and live your best life! No matter how or what form it’s in!

[@sophieleanna9391]

Love the idea of adjusting your expectations to your situation. Makes things easier.

[@debradonley3825]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I've been struggling this week with bronchitis. But...I made it to work every day and am now feeling better. I hope you get to stop those antibiotics soon and then you can start to venture outside the house more.

[@allisonc7069]

Happy birthday Mary!! I just started watching this past week and I’m totally hooked! You two inspire me so much! Thank you so much for sharing your life!! You’re truly incredible!!!

[@imkludin6867]

A very Happy Birthday to you, Mary!

I got my tee shirt and wore it to the hospital on my surgery day.

[@FkD814]

Happy birthday, Mary!

[@lauragadille3384]

I finally made it to clinicals for Medical Assistant this fall. I start next week. I'm excited but I know the work load will be overwhelming but I can do this.

[@naomicarrier1733]

My Aussie boy Comet has the same skunk toy and this vlog with the squeaking made him run around the house wondering where the noise was coming from

[@alyssastafford2950]

Happy birthday Mary u guys are so cute together and Mary u are so strong

[@annmariefrank8803]

Happy Birthday and praying for ur healing

[@lorettaprincess6487]

I'm in hospital currently on a drip too. For some reason I keep ending up with infections they can't pin point. But they can tell by bloods and other tests. So I've been on antibiotics and fluids. But this is the 3rd or so time in a year. I wish you health as best as can be and happiness. When I first started watching your videos I was confused the first few that I watched. But after watching a bunch of your videos. You inspire me daily

[@magsdoesnotknow]

I recently watched a video from another service dog handler about what things she wishes she'd known/would do differently if she were starting completely afresh with getting and training a dog. It was very thought provoking, would this be subject matter you would consider making a video about?

[@kathleenfannin1375]

So funny, that you just said sorry for Oliver squeaking the toy and my dog came walking into the room looking for the toy. Hope you have a Happy Birthday, Mary!

[@MeaganWolf18]

Happy Birthday Mary!. I'm on vacation right now and I plan to order a shirt when I get home from vacation.

[@meganr9637]

My cat will sometimes pee are our clean laundry. I really enjoyed this vlog. I’m starting school tomorrow and it’s been rough with some of the girls in my class. This video gave me the strength to get through this school year with them

[@shadowfigure3749]

Living in Connecticut my sister had an apricot miniature poodle. Looks a lot like Ollie just much smaller. Pierre found a skunk under our porch and got sprayed. Clipped and dipped in tomato juice several times, we had a stinky pink poodle for a month. Every time he got wet he still smelled like a skunk for the longest time and the tomato juice is a great temporary hair dye.

[@kathijones2734]

Just want to say my the Frey life denim hat with my pins is pretty awesome!!! Love them!

[@nadiah4315]

Happy birthday, friend!! August is certainly up there with the best months - my birthday's in Aug too. It was my 18th this year and my sister bought me my very first 'KZbin merch', your 'I choose joy' t-shirt. It's just a small thing, but sometimes it's the small things that give you the most courage. God holds you safely, always. Xx Nadia, England

[@elerifae9362]

Happy Birthday Mary, you are so inspiring 🙂

[@lisawinters4681]

Happy birthday Mary!!! I hope you have a wonderful birthday and birthday week!!!

[@MasiaMaksymowicz]

This moment (3:48) is so funny - when Peter is so serious and then he throws Ollie's toy :P Happy birthday Mary!

[@buckeyehockey1979]

Happy Birthday Mary! Olie really was enjoying tearing up the toy. That is one tough toy, lol. That dog has the most awesome smile, can't help but smile back. Thank you for making me laugh.

[@anikaiyanafernandes8604]

May God bless you with many more blessings and Birthdays to come Mary

[@lauradarter1327]

I just ordered my shirt! Can’t wait to get it!!!! Thank you!

[@pamfiebelkorn1863]

Happy Birthday Mary!! If Ollie ever does get sprayed by a skunk - bath him in tomato juice, it takes most to all of it out!! Or so I’ve heard! We’ve never had it on hand when one of our dogs had gotten sprayed!

[@vikipurves827]

Happy birthday, gorgeous girl Mary! xxx

[@daniellewolf6467]

I want sure where to put this, but i have a quick question for you. I am battling 2 chronic illnesses and they both make it hard to sleep. I have been on seroquel for years now, but i know it is hard on my body. You are one of several people that mix melatonin and benadryl. I want to ask what dosage of melatonin you use and does your doctor perscribe them? I know it might not work for me, but it's worth a shot. Your positivity helps me so very much. It has changed how i look at life. Thank you both for bringing light to my life every day

[@GinaLaughed]

"Macho Macarena" lol Happy Birthday, Mary! ♡♡♡

[@kimberlyhayes6006]

O wore my oatmeal colored Frey life sweatshirt to the er yesterday. I got a lot of compliments on it. I found out that even tho I'm on a blood thinner my body is still making clots so my right arm and dace is swollen, I have blood clots in my arm, neck on both sides,and my chest

[@StefanieRoyMusic]

Hope your birthday is going magically, Mary.

[@Unsocial01]

Happy Birthday Week Mary !!! Love ya!!!

[@lynnrose7562]

Love you guys. Ollie is so cute! He was so cute playing with his squeaky toy. What a great dog! Keep on keeping on.

Very excited to see and hear Hakas in person. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Happy Birthday Mary! Hope you have a great bday week! Big hugs!

[@vanessaf6149]

"A macho macarena" 😂😂😂😂 I have heard the haka compared with a lot of things but this was a first! 😂😂 as a new zealander i found this very funny, i laughed so hard I woke up my 6 year old who promptly told me to shut up 😂🙈🙊

[@flynnaustin4098]

Happy Birthday Mary!!!!

[@sarahtennyson7260]

Happy Birthday, Mary!!!!🎉🎊🙂🎈 Thanks for staying positive...such an inspiration you both are! 🙏🏻✝️❤️

[@mcescher1957]

Hope you had a Happy Birthday Mary! I would LOVE to have one of your shirts...but unfortunately they are a bit pricey right now. My husband just recently lost his job, so we are trying to conserve any finances and trust that the Lord has something in mind for him. We have been through this before...and I am hoping that the end is near. I really could use an "I Choose Joy" shirt...but I will just have to wait and get one eventually. Have a wonderul, wonderful day.

[@alexamccloskey8909]

I’ve been to New Zealand and I remember them doing the haka or whatever it’s called and my dad thought it was soooooo cool

[@christalphelps6186]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!! 😍🤩❤🍰🍰🎂 I pray that you have a wonderful day! I just wanted to say that you guys are so incredibly inspiring and beautiful people. You show everything there is to being a Christian and how God wants us to act. You have and show the two most important fruits of the spirit in you every day lives, love and joy, which considering the challenges of life God has given you is incredible and inspiring to anyone who watches you amazing vlogs. You guys are incredible and I wanted to wish you Mary and very very happy birthday!

[@MrCockatiel2007]

I'm happy you have larger sizes. Some online stores only offer sizes Small, medium, large and x-large. I'm looking to get me one of your shirts pretty soon.

[@Cheerleader2579]

New Zealand!!! The haka is more like a challenge thing rather than a 'cheer' but I get where you're coming from :)

[@libbygibson5612]

Sweet baby Ollie!

[@whitneywillisnelson814]

I had to do 2 weeks of Imipenem for a ESBL bacterial infection/Sepsis and it gave me headaches as well - I didn't have the nausea but I definitely had an upset stomach like you 😳 HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST BIRTHDAY YOU CAN POSSIBLY HAVE!

I am sick with a sore throat coughing and congested can I get some prayers.

[@thin_white_duke1]

Oh my God! You guys are inspirational.

[@annabellethepaladin3795]

Omg, we saw a possum right by our back door last night and my dog freaked out! lol And is it possible to request a prayer? My mom has had dementia for a few years now, and it's getting really bad :(

Happy Birthday Mary!💐🎂

[@kateseymour1396]

Happy Birthday Mary Lots of Love to You

[@meganclapsadl6942]

My dog (maddie) LOVES squeaky toys and somehow she slept through all of Ollies squeaking. She also has never been sprayed by a skunk, but came very close by viciously barking at a mama skunk and her babies as they walked past her with nothing but a chain link fence and a few inches separating them. I call that a miracle.

[@christiehankins8458]

Try a larger bowl for his food and water. Dogs instinctively protect both food and water, bowls seen to work better than plates. Just a suggestion.
