WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS?

[@lindsey2188]

My best friend passed from CF in 2012. I miss her so much. Keep fighting! ❤

[@vbray95]

My childhood friend just passed away at age 39 from CF. He had a double lung transplant in July of 2013 and had rejection issues for the past 3 years. I find myself going through all these CF videos to truly understand this disease. Thank you for your video.

[@AB-mb9bf]

It's a selenium deficiency

[@treywhite4186]

I was born with Spina Bifida (SB), and went to summer camp with kids who had CF in my teens. In those days, the median life expectancy for someone with CF was 25, so while 40 is still extremely young (I'm 45 now), I am so happy to hear that the prognosis for someone with CF has improved since the '80s-early '90s.

[@MarisaAndChew]

"You don't look sick" drives me insane!! Like you are absolutely right, you aren't a walking X-Ray and you can't see that my bones are degenerating and that my blood is filled with inflammation. I also struggle with PTSD and for me that also means anxiety and depression and its like "you're right, that's because my meds are working today. Come back tomorrow or when my prescription runs out and see if I seem fine to you!" Mary, you are absolutely beautiful, as i have said before, BUT I don't believe that is because you are a "CF Patient" but rather, it is your spirit and your love for God and the joy you CHOOSE every single day. I have watched vlogs where you are nearing collapsing on Ollie and then when you catch your breath you crack a joke. You are such a wonderful example to all of us, and while I am sure you have BAD days emotionally where you would just rather forget about it all or toss in the towel the fact that you bounce back to your true self is whats so beautiful. I love how Peter so tenderly cares for you while not necessarily being over protective or freaking out or anything. He is such a great role-model for caregivers of anyone with an illness, because it doesn't matter WHAT we have or how visible it is, some days we need more assistance and encouragement and other days we just need to feel in control and he seems to give you that. I may have a disease, but it doesn't have me! #CFAWARENESS

[@Julia-is1ux]

I really like what you wrote. Really nice!

[@MarisaAndChew]

Julia thanks Julia. Mary and Peter are definitely an inspiration as individuals and as a couple. I LOVE how when she is in the hospital he is too while also getting everything else needed on the outside finished. He is so devoted. Not many men (or women) would choose to sleep in the hospital for a week so their partner isn't alone, but it is probably one of the most selfless things you can witness in a marriage is Peter doing that. He chooses the physical discomfort of not his own bed, dry air middle of the night nurses, and isolation all to make HER stay more pleasurable.

[@Julia-is1ux]

Yes, you are right! He is really nice and very helpful.

[@ChristinaMaki]

It would be really cool to see Peter do a video like this one on what it's like to be the primary caregiver/support system for a CF patient. I bet it would be helpful for other people with a loved one who has CF to hear his perspective!

[@mcrchickenluvr]

indeed it would. A friend of my niece is living with CF. I've seen what her parents go through quite a bit. But many people don't get that opportunity.

[@Mandyhenry05]

I was diagnosed with CF at the age of 4 months old and I am 12 now. This video has explained many things about CF and all the facts that you have mentioned are very much true. I’ve been watching many of your videos and it’s made me a bunch more comfortable with the condition. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

[@shaeandeli]

This was incredibly informative and clearly communicated. Thanks so much! There's a family at our kids school with a couple of CF kids. This really helps us understand what they're going through. Thank you! You are definitely an overcomer!

[@jeanpuckett]

"The Frey Life" is changing lives. And you're changing the lives of some people who don't even have CF. Thanks to the completely unselfish efforts of you, Peter, and Oliver, we are all learning courage, tenacity, positivity, the importance of laughter, lessons in eating well, lessons in love, etc., etc., etc. I could fill a page. I've only recently found your vlog and have been following you for only a couple of months. I'm 61 years old - I don't have CF but I do have some chronic diseases that have been difficult to deal with. In a short time, you guys and your vlog have reminded me of values and lessons that I've allowed to collect some dust and cobwebs. THANK YOU for helping me to remember those things. Thank you for what you're doing for the 1000's of people who follow you. I'm grateful that our paths have crossed in this way and wish that I could help you as you have me. My promise to you guys is that I will pay it forward with the grace and spirit that I've learned from yo

[@thefreylife]

+Jeanie Puckett Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

[@trishjohns8473]

I am none of the people that you mentioned I am someone who is interested to learn more about CF. I have autoimmune diseases and somedays are harder than others. So it is nice to see and take some inspiration from someone else with complex, complicated health issues. Thank you for the information you shared today, I learned a lot

[@katharinar.4463]

Great job mary👍🏻 I'm not a CF patient, but I got another chronic illness, so I feel so glad, that I can be part of this awesome freylifefamily😊 because I have been following your journey a long time now, I think I now a lot of things about CF, but this video was so informative and I loved watching it and chairing it with as many people as possible to give a awareness to this invisible disease😊 keep going and thanks for letting so many people be part of your life👍🏻💛

[@ChristyNecaise13]

Mary, you are nothing short of amazing. I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Diabetes. Chronic illness is no fun. You are a source of inspiration for me. Thank you for making vlogs and sharing your life with us. And before I forget - Peter, you are pretty amazing yourself.

[@kimg7582]

Mary, you are such an inspiration to me. Although I have lupus and not CF I feel more drawn to your videos because of your outlook and tenacity. I can totally relate to looking fine outside with a war going on inside. I was in the ER the other day and instead of getting too down I thought of you and your husband and it made my experience easier to accept and take in stride. God bless both of you! Love you guys!

[@sushibu]

You're the only youtuber I feel like I would be comfortable hanging out with because you're so sweet and down to earth and don't talk as if you're above people but are equal and are willing to lend a helping hand.

[@thefreylife]

+BasqueBolivian I mean, let's be honest, we're all human and we all burp, and today my burp tasted like a banana (as seen in the bloopers). soooo I guess what I'm saying is, I'm glad my true humanity can be seen in our videos...I am in no way "above others". I'm just thankful great people like YOU want to be a part of This journey with us! Thanks!

[@lilmatty1185]

Hi Mary. Thank you so much for this video. We have a 3 month old just recently diagnosed with cf. We have a great team at sick kids Toronto who are awesome and our son Finnegan at the moment is doing very well especially since beginning with his enzymes. I really appreciate your positivity and energy and I too am a positive person. It has helped my family as we shared the news with them knowing that we are positive and I hope my son is the same as he grows and deals with this disease. So thank you. You are a light for those in the dark. Keep shining bright.

[@angiedasner]

thanks so much Mary for explaining what CF is. I'm almost 60 years old and never really knew what it was nor have I ever met anyone with that. I was just in the hospital Saturday and Sunday with fluid on my lungs and wow was it hard to breathe. I can't imagine living a life and constantly having to battle for breath. Thanks for showing me how to really relish every moment, that life is a precious gift and of course to laugh along the way. Bless you my friend

[@danielalee6525]

Mary I just want to thank you. I started watching your videos about 2 weeks ago and I have spent my free time binge watching your channel. Thank you for reminding me to laugh! and you are an over comer and you inspire other to keep fighting. Keep laughing and hug Ollie for me. He sure is a cutie!

[@lynnleydrummond3243]

Excellent presentation Mary! I am 55 years old and living in Australia. I hope you are keeping okay. Big Hugs to you for sharing a clear and concise video for You-Tube. Best Wishes.

[@joyssmith9030]

Oh Mary... that was FANTASTIC!! How do you know so much about CF. I mean.. it's different in everybody, but you cover it all. I have Lupus and I couldn't even do a 5 minute video. You are so graceful and well spoken... Even though I'm 26 years older than you (in a few days) ... I am learning how to live with this chronic illness.... and this month is also Lupus Awareness Month.... YAY for us both!!!...lol... see you tomorrow

That's called pneumonia.

No , there are several cases of adults being diagnosed. There is a different mutation. Look it up

[@rebekahturnbow6735]

Mary, you are such a beautiful soul and encouraging person!! You did an amazing job on this video! My 9yr old and I watched it together, we both learned so much and just loved watching you! Knowing a little more about what is going on inside your body, helps us understand your daily struggle so much more! To see the joy on your face through your daily battle is such an inspiration!! May God continue to carry you through, and bless you beyond what you could imagine, in this life journey!!💗

[@brookedanielle3313]

Before I watched this video I didn't even know what cystic fibrosis was. This really helped me understand what it was like to have this disease. I am praying for you.

[@nettyheartsyou]

Not only you make me inspire but also helping me understand what really is cystic fibrosis. I am a newly graduate nursing student and your video about OVERCOMER (CF) make so much sense now! I am studying for board exam and you definitely help me alot! Thank you so much. You have such an amazing personality and when i see people complaining of their day i will remember you for having a good day just for the reason that you have able to breath greatly. I see some people nowadays (including me) get so negative with just a tiny reason but you are an awesome OVERCOMER! You are inspirational! God bless you sweetie!

[@sueallen952]

Hi from the UK, you are both such an inspiration, Mary your optimism and laughter is infectious and Peter you are so dedicated to Mary it is truly heart warming. I wish you love laughter, good luck and good times in your beautiful life xxx

[@pamelaruth6909]

Out of all the many videos of yours that I have watched, THIS was by far the best ever!!!! It was so nice of you to help us understand a little bit about CF and your daily life. I learned several things I didn't know about CF today. You are an amazing young woman and God bless you on your journey. You can teach us how to love and savor every day as a gift and a joy. There aren't enough good things to say about this video and about you. Thank you very much and God bless you Mary and keep you safe in his arms. Take care...........

[@drina4706]

sorry. i was commenting on ur cf explanation video and my comment popped up here!

[@Artem_Shipov]

Heard of CF, as a disease, but never got that deep into the subject. Thank you for that simple explanation. You're a well done!

[@charzipuddin6129]

Thank you for this, your explanation is so easy to understand! I posted this on FB, too. I knew CF was very serious, but didn't understand how it, erm, worked. Praying for you guys every day💜

[@ChristinaMaki]

Happy CF Awareness Month, Mary! Because of your channel, we all know SO much more about the disease and how we can help fight it. We love being a part of the Frey Life family and getting to share in your journey. 💗

[@Julia-is1ux]

I am sorry: I asked in another video how you manage being so thin... now I learned why. Thank your for this informative video!

So glad you found this video helpful :)

She’s not even thin 🙄

[@JanuaryLovesSelena]

When I was 8 a little girl moved to my school and we became friends. She had cystic fibrosis and passed away last year. I had no idea what it meant. I thought that when you're "sick" you just take some medicine and get better, but I had no idea. After she passed I discovered your channel, and I love you guys so much. Stay strong Mary.

[@amyhackler1]

I just recently was diagnosed and I’m 37 .. I have three kids and was missed diagnosed for years.. Thank you for your positive attitude. It has really helped me understand better and not be so afraid 😘

Hi Mary! I'm a young CF patient and would just like too say I watch your videos everyday whilst doing my physio and nebulisers! They help me realise how important it is to keep up with my treatment! Keep fighting x 😉

Wow, that's how you found out about your liver issue? My 9 y.o. daughter found out through an annual routine CF X-ray since her liver was in the field of view. Three cheers for God's provision for you both in finding it sooner than later! Thanks for the video, I am sure it took longer than we realize to put together.

I've dealt with her getting made fun of my whole life. it's very hard and just wish people would just accept others. we are not chosen to be born this way.

Hi Mary, when I was a little girl, both me and my brother had a child in our class each (brother and sister in the same family) who had CF. Sadly, the girl passed aged 7, it was incredibly sad. But I am glad that things are most definitely improving. When I did my nursing, the life expectancy was much lower than 40 - I am so happy that it has increased. May God keep you and your family safe xxxx

[@darkchef8797]

One day we can say that CF stands for Cure Found. I am currently in the hospital getting a tune up and on the road to start Orkambi. I have a cat at home that is always alert to whenever I start coughing or something else (never trained to do it) and he will jump up on my lap or lay next to me and start purring to help my body calm down. He loves giving me sandpaper kisses just for the saltiness of my skin. I was diagnosed at 1 month with CF and have made it to 28 soon to be 29.

[@ThisBubblyJESUSFreak]

Mary, you really are so eloquent!! And you're basically a superhero. I mean, you live everyday with what us non-CFers would compare to an aggressive form of bronchitis (and that is ONLY the lung part! Not to mention other organs infected, plus regular bronchitis can't even compare to CF!), and you STILL can form intelligent sentences and speak with a smile on your face! You pretty much make the rest of us look like these lower level humans and you're over there this amazing, incredible, strong, OVERCOMING human AND encouraging others along the way! I mean, it doesn't get more superhero than that! :-) Loved this video! I did a good bit of research on CF last week (?) and am now informed so that I can inform others and spread awareness! Because awareness= research = finding a cure!! #iminthefightagainstcysticfibrosis

[@ThisBubblyJESUSFreak]

Meant to say "affected"* about organs, but I guess I could research if they are infected like the lungs are, too!

Hi Mary! I have been following you (and Peter and Ollie) for the last couple of months. It's great to see you add juicing to your diet. You spoke in this video about enzyme deficiencies and malabsorption issues.

What have you found that helps your lungs feel their best? Some people say walking or exercise really helps their lungs. I find that after my two hours of vest airway clearance my lungs tend to feel their best. And recently I have been trying a 20-30 minute workout video in the middle of the day, which has been a fun challenge...sometimes not so fun ;) I hope you have a restful night and perhaps tomorrow you will be feeling great :)
