🏥 ULTRASOUND OF MY KIDNEYS! 🏥

[@thefreylife]

Are you ready for you close up? Haha. That was the question for my kidneys 🤣

[@Maria_Espino]

The Frey Life Mary, with the success of the triple combo from Vertex, and providing that your lung function and health continues to improve... would you reconsider parenthood?

[@benjaminfreyman4273]

Well I went to a hospital today too for a biopsy on the right breast so yikes , add your prayers plz. Wow those biopsy can be a bit painful if they don't get enough lidocain in there. - sandy

[@shawnresor498]

Did you get a print out of the twins? Lol

[@angiea763]

The new medication you’re on is such a blessing because I don’t remember the last time you walked down the stairs so casually. It was amazing to see. Feel better soon 🙃

[@samgodkin4736]

I watched you talk and vlog to us today while walking around the house. U went up and down the stairs and no coughing. It makes my heart so glad to see you doing better. Sore peeing aside. Truly wonderful. Sending lots of love from the UK 💕🐾

[@EljinRIP]

It's amazing to see how much better you look/sound and just how much more energy you have since starting that CF medication. And it hasn't even been that long. I look forward to seeing further improvements over time as you rehabilitate your lungs and body. Keep fighting!

[@thefreylife]

Thanks EljinRIP!

[@amethystturner8899]

Thank you guys for always vlogging. I don't have CF, but I have other chronic illnesses in my 20s. I binge watch when I'm up doing treatments or unable to sleep. So appreciate all the tips and laughs along the way. As a fellow believer in Christ, it's refreshing to see your guys' prospective. Wishing all 3 of you the very best.

[@shayr.7975]

Mary, everyone here is amazed by the stairs. I'm amazed by the singing. I don't remember the last time you held a big long note like that and then jumped right into the next line without sounding breathless or like you were forcing your body not to cough. Yay!!

[@nancieblackburn3176]

Hello from Iowa! I think 💭 it is so very sweet of your mom to come and help you pack. She deserves mother of the year award 🥇 I hope you get to feeling better Mary!

[@thefreylife]

Hi Nancie! Right?! She's amazing!

[@I_am_Knowledge]

It amazes me that even amidst the chaos you keep being your funny and gracious self! You go Mary! You Vertex-can!!! 💪🏽

[@pammastroianni1335]

Honestly, Mary....you are such a TROOPER !!! Good for you...you let yourself feel bad fo a very short while, then you make yourself go to a better place ! Hope whatever this is passes quickly.....because you have been feeling SO MUCH better on the new medication !!! It has been pure JOY seeing you do so well !!!

[@cleoh666]

There is such a difference in your voice! And how quickly you talk too! It's amazing what science can do 😯

[@jananedvedova1696]

I am very glad that you are feeling better, Mary. I always love when I hear you listen and sing the same worship songs I listen to. It makes me feel the connection of the one church founded by Jesus all over the world. Best wishes from the Czech Republic!!

[@thefreylife]

Jana thanks for joining us all the way from the Czech Republic! We're so glad you're part of our Frey Life fam!

[@davegoodridge8352]

Having a long history of kidney stones. I can say the feeling of no pain when it’s over is the best feeling in the world. Antibiotics and iced tea always get them moving in me.

[@smokeyybearhugs9092]

Chronic kidney stone sufferer here. A gallon of ice tea is always my go to as well. 😂 And yes. That feeling is better than any feeling in the world. That sigh of relief when you know it's over. Bless!

[@tamberjune]

We're on the same IVIg schedule! How fun! Anyway I had an experience like this and it turned out to be a hemangioma and if it bleeds again I have to get it layered off my kidney or something. I hope today with your mom is going great and Peter, I really am praying for your channel to take off and for all the moving parts to easily move together during this season of transition.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Tamber!

[@debradonley3825]

My brother used to get kidney stones ALL the time. Eventually, they found a cyst on one of his kidneys, removed it, and he now has no problems at all. But he got them ALL the time, and you don't. So they will most likely leave your kidneys alone. You are going through enough right now, Mary. It always makes me smile when I see you going up or down the stairs without coughing. How great is that?

[@skysnene]

I LOVE when y'all sing while driving & put so much emotion into the songs. Wish I was the same kind of patient you are Mary. I'm not! I am chronically ill, awaiting surgery in October to hopefully fix my health issues but it's really hard for me to wait day after day when you're just so sick & weak but I try to be inspired by Mary. I can say my husband is a Peter too, that makes dealing with so much all the time better when your spouse is always there for you. Happy moving south y'all. You'll love southern people. They wave at you when you're driving & you'll learn soon to just wave back, lol. My sister moved to Alabama to live with me & she was amazed when strangers waved at her while she was driving. She said they don't even know me & wave at me. I told her it's just a southern thing. She loved living in the south the last few years of her life. She also said random people would just strike up a conversation with her in stores. She loved it. She said she loved her adopted town so much.

[@too_tired_for_this]

Peter! There is actually a phenomenon where people pass kidney stones after riding roller coasters! So maybe the jogging did have something to do with it.

[@thefreylife]

Rebecca oh wow from rollercoasters?!

[@too_tired_for_this]

Yup! It’s wild! www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/science/roller-coaster-kidney-stones.html

[@kecrn4132]

Rebecca Brazil - it’s so weird.... I have had 8 kidney stones before and never felt any pain, except first thing In the morning if I had been asleep for a long time (like more than 7 hours) and had to pee real bad....but otherwise, nothing!! Apparently i have passed at least 7 of them as on my last ultrasound I only had 1 there (could be a new one, they said). But I never felt pain or anything passing them either!! Doctors were shocked I had no symptoms and they said that given the size of some of them, I would def start to feel bothered by them... but I never did! I feel so lucky!!!

[@too_tired_for_this]

Running Girl Runs oof, I had a friend who was having such bad kidney stone problems that he ended up in the hospital! It’s something I am terrified of!

[@burnice3901]

Ive had kidney stones pass after a long road trip.

[@rmjames83]

If you haven’t a kidney stone it sounds a LOT like a UTI-I get them really frequently, as I have a catheter. They aren’t fun at all!! I hope u feel better real soon-& the cyst is nothing significant! It’s SO wonderful to see that “you Vertex can!!”-such a blessing!!

[@mustwereallydothis]

I have, without the slightest bit of exaggeration, had many hundreds of kidney stones (I have a serious metabolic disorder that causes them) and I can assure you that jogging, bending, getting shook up in any way, etc can definitely shake loose a stone and make it head south.

[@Laurana07]

Mary, you are my superhero. You give me drive on difficult days.

[@nleb1993]

I hope you feel better soon Mary. I'm so glad the new medicine is helping you.

[@paisleybuttercupn681]

So glad you’re doing better today Mary! I just have to say it is absolutely amazing watching these vlogs over the last several weeks, seeing you climb stairs and walking around everywhere with no coughing fits is mind blowing. The difference in your health and overall well being in such a short amount of time is incredible to watch, God is good!! Many prayers to you, Peter, and Ollie. 💜🙏🏻🥰

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Paisleybuttercup N!

[@cindyneel5231]

Praying that you get through this really quickly. They always tell my husband that he can't jar a kidney stone loose jostling around on the lawnmower, yet he gets one every summer during mowing season! Hugs and prayers!

Thank you Cindy! And that's so interesting!

Feel better Mary. I hope it wasn’t the jogging. Sleeping through the night is always good. Ultrasound fun. I remember the kidney injury. I hope you can get through a year from now without kidney troubles. Awesome song. It fits for your journey. A picture of your kidney twins. Love it. Good luck with the results. Feel better soon. Safe travels.

[@MissaLVT]

Bless your heart! Kidney stones are rough. I've had to have surgery for them twice and it's definitely not fun. Praying really hard that the cyst that they saw is no big deal.

[@thefreylife]

MissaLVT thank you for your prayers! And wow you're a trooper!

[@lisanorton7749]

It sounds very much like a UTI. I have these a lot, sometimes they are an infection, but more time than not, it’s just irritated. The sense of urgency in peeing and the pressure is common. I use a product call AZO, it’s over the counter and it really relieves the pain. Drink lots and lots of water!

[@JerryLindasPlace]

Praying for you Mary, a speedy recovery. 💝

Hi Guys , Thank you for the update , I am glad you are feeling better Mary. It might have been a stone , if it felt like a boulder then it may very well have been.

Oh it was the worst feeling in the world!! I hope you continue to feel better and they can give you some answers!!

[@bonnieletson3043]

I have several cyst on my kidneys, and I my left one has a suspicious one. It doesn't represent a simple cyst. I have it looked at now every year, at first it was checked every 6 months. That was for 4 years, it's been 6 more years and being checked every year. So for the total of 10 years it hasn't changed. BUT... the doctors said " IF it cancerous it could take years to grow" GOOD TO KNOW 😵 You look better, THANK GOD, your momma is coming to help!!! MOMMA to the rescue💞 Have a good nite 🍁

Bonnie I'm glad you're able to get it checked regularly! And yes so thankful for my mom! :)

I've lived with UTI's and bladder problems for many years. It's like that 0 to 60. You need to go, then you have to go every second, then blood. I take antibiotics, it gets better. Seems like it's back in no time. No answers. I hope you feel better soon Mary. Big hugs to you!

[@doreenwhitehead4870]

Kidney stones are known to be worse than delivery. When I was a nurse I heard this more than once from various patients. A buddy of mine who was a nurse confirmed this.

[@kathleenbeaman6712]

Doreen Whitehead, I have a friend that gets kidney stones, she is also another and says the same thing.Much more painful than labor pains and wears old school. No epidurals for our generation.

[@rissarose3423]

Agree

[@bettersecret1499]

They said the worst pain ever is when an ovarian cist explodes. Kidney stones last longer though I think

[@johnrapp87]

Doreen Whitehead my husband named his stones Birtha and fang.

[@karma.Probably]

Yeah maybe if you got an epidural 😂 I’ve given natural birth 3 times (even in my generation- crazy and unheard of I know) and have passed both kidney stones and suffered gallstones.....is the pain bad? Terrible! Factually worse than labour? i think not. Everyone is different and kidney stones pass in allllll different sizes, some pass with little to no pain at all....therefore the pain is pretty dependent on many factors, to just say it’s flat out worse than labour is kind of silly- it’s completely depend on the case, the size of the stone that’s being passed and not to mention individual pain tolerance in general.

I almost ended up on dialysis but they pumped so much fluid through me to clear my kidneys and get them functioning again. No fun! It's amazing how sick it can make you.

[@heathersmith4774]

When I worked at a hospital we always had the patient pee in a hat then run it through a strainer. Question how about asking for bathroom urine hat and some strainer to check to see if you past a stone? Don’t know if you know what you are looking for but they look like flakes of pepper with spikes all over it. I once found fifteen in one urine sample. Hope you have a better day today than you had yesterday!

[@hoarderpapercrafts]

Here is my tip for pain of a kidney stone...hottest bath you can tolerate and use a heating pad while in bed. They do an ultrasound to also see if you still have any stones that are restricting the flow of urine in the ureter.

He was rushed up to the hospital where he had scans and an MRI done, the pain subsided and he came home. But he was soon back in hospital and this time admitted to ward and the day after he was operated on and the stone that was stuck was removed. But he does have other kidney stones which will get bigger... Feel better soon Mary xx

[@mcescher1957]

Doesn't sound like a kidney stone. , , these buggers run in my family, and if it were a kidney stone you would be in a LOT more pain. Sounds like a bladder infection...usually stones don't make you have to pee every two minutes,..that's an infection. Hope you feel better soon.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Robin!

[@kecrn4132]

Robin Schaefer - I never had any pain with any my stones- neither while I had them all or when I passed them all! We only know I passed them from ultrasound.... but they can often make us have to pee a lot too- they irritate the kidney which then can cause some reactions of irritation of the bladder too which makes us have to pee a ton!

[@AnAspiesPOV]

Stones aren't really seen on ultrasound. They always xray or CT me. That said, being able to pee means it's not obstructing if you do have a stone. If you have a cyst, it's also possible that you had 2 and one popped (I have PKD and it sounded like a cyst pop since it was visible blood). If you did pass a stone in one night, I'm jealous! I'm also jealous of your liver picture because Mass General wouldn't give me a picture of mine! Feel better quickly ♡

If your lungs are improving with Vertex, do you get rated down on the transplant list or is it overall still an option you might consider?

[@soulmaid952]

I thought you're put on the waiting list when you go for transplant evaluation.

[@soulmaid952]

Megan is a gamer Yeah that's also what I thought but if you're doing way better than someone else because you're on Vertex it might be still justified to ask. And transplant definitely isn't an overall problem solver. It's just another step in the journey.
