🏥 HOSPITAL UPDATE | GROWING A NEW BACTERIA 🏥 (11.7.17) 

It was a crazy day, but we feel at peace with the plan. We will keep on keeping on, and you guys do the same! Ps. Who thinks we should invest in that awesome multicolored lighting for the house?! ;) I do!

Wow seven years of marriage, congratulations 💕💕💕

My nonverbal 3 year old daughter watches with me your vlogs every day. It has helped her so much she gets so excited about you gj tube she gtube and then she so excited this vlog was with her blood counts she wears a medical mask everywhere. When she saw Mary wearing it too she gave the biggest smile. Thank you for being you!

I struggle with an auto immune disease... Rheumatoid Arthritis. I found you guys last year while looking for info on service dogs for diabetes. 2 of my 6 children have type 1 diabetes. Your strong Christian faith and positive approach to life remind me of myself... I find myself praying for you often and daily! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. It really makes a difference for so many! I also follow Peter's ministry and enjoy his teachings. I value his insight, knowledge, faith, and values. It appears that he truly lives his life in line with The Word of God! Peter and Mary, Thank you for being beacons for this dark world!

I was really glad to see your Instagram post. I’m often frustrated by the whole “you like fine so you must *be* fine” misjudgments. When I was so sick and begging for someone to take me seriously and help me, I was so badly dismissed and scoffed at over and over. With some crazy perseverance and better healthcare professionals, I’ve now accessed help like diagnoses, medications, IV fluids, and mobility aids... Now I’m taken so much more seriously as a “sick person,” even though having accessed those things has meant that I’m now far less unwell because of them. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking, really. And I know SO many people who experience the same. And sometimes I look terrible but actually feel “pretty good” (relatively speaking). Or vice versa, I look well but I feel like death warmed over. People have also made the assumption that because I’m not using my wheelchair in certain situations, that I’m “better.” When really, it could be that I’ve just had to walk up some stairs (how would I have used a wheelchair there, exactly?) to get to my car, where my wheelchair stayed because I was too unwell to carry it inside after the last time I used it. It’s not that I didn’t need it in that moment, but that I simply didn’t have it. Or maybe my arms were more tired than my legs and weighing the pros and cons, it seemed easier to walk a bit than to use my arms to propel myself in my wheelchair. But really, it could be one of my worse days. So many variables that go into a single snapshot of someone’s day and the choices they make. Things are not always as they seem.

I just showed my hubby that last part.......about being a little kinder and more patient with people.......That rang so true to me.....I am guilty of rushing people and getting angry at little things.......people in stores on the road...And you are so right you really never know what someone else is dealing with or suffering from.......we all need to be more excepting and kind.......Thank you for that!

I’ve been a caregiver. I cannot express how hard it is . Peter, don’t forget to take care of yourself. You are both amazing!

keep fighting Mary!! we are all supporting you. God gives His toughest battles to His strongest army!! 💜❤️💚

I'm praying for you both you got this! God gives us the strength we need!

We have worried, hoping you feel better soon. We want you to know we are thankful for you....for helping us through hospital and emergancy room visits in the last 6 months. My 11 year old daughter asks how would Mary handle this? Thanks for being a superhero!

I am one of the new people, and I am so glad I found you guys. I totally get the needle in the chest ditty, I have a port as well. We also have something else in common, my husband is a pastor as well. In my opinion all three of you are pretty incredible. All I have to say is keep on keeping on.

You are an inspiration to so many of us....I have chronic pain, and sometimes when I get so frustrated with my Dr.s who know how to give me a better quality of life, but won't, I watch one of your videos and look at how brave and uncomplaining you are. God Bless You, Mary, and be with you and your husband as you partake on this nest stage of your life's journey. Oh, and Ollie looked so concerned at one point and actually came up to you as if to say "I'm here for you"....it was so sweet !!

Thumbs up for Mary and her sidekicks (both Peter AND Ollie!!)

Peter is such a supportive husband and in my opinion is the best husband love you guys always praying for Mary

I currently live in Boston as I'm in college right now (I normally live 30 minutes away), seeing you guys driving around in places I'm near makes me so exited! I'm always like "oh my goodness my favorite people are so close to me right now!!!"

Yes,Multicolored lights would be awesome !!! ,,Peter ,you are the most supportive and caring husband , I give a big hurrah to you.,,,Mary ,you are great and great attitude you have for facing such challenges ...many prayers for you .

You're so right about judgment. I've got a disease that causes me to gain weight and it's discouraging when people are rude about my weight. I was thin all my life and ignore the remarks for the most part, but some are so foul I can't believe adults are so nasty.

You are definitely right Mary. GOD is with you all!! I will keep you all in my prayers.

Thumbs up for Mary and sidekick Peter (and Ollie Boy). Love you all and sending prayers .

I love your videos, but I also really love your comments section! This little (okay, so maybe it's actually pretty huge) family you have built here is just generally so kind and respectful. Makes your channel such a pleasant place to hang out. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Yes, Mary is INCREDIBLE and what a wonderful husband she has too.

My Ollie came today. The toy Ollie looks so much like the real Ollie. Happy. Happy. Happy. Thank you.

Prayers today & everyday!

Keeping you in my prayers

Sending all the love from St.Petersburg, Russia! We love you, Mary!

Bless you mary and peter your such an insperation to us all. I hope you continue to feel good

We love you all so much! Praying for you, Mary!

God bless your heart Mary. Get some rest.

Mary and Peter you are such amazing people ! I have so much love & respect for the two of you ❤️

Continued prayers for healing and strength. God is great and will be with you always. Big hugs to you all.

I will keep you and Peter in prayer!! "Do what you think you can't do!!"🙏🏻❤

Lifting you both up in prayer, praying for your energy and perseverance & endurance.

I'm so glad you guys keep blogging even when things are difficult (or more difficult I should say)...... it gives us the opportunity to really know exactly how to pray for Mary, and for you Peter. Stay strong Mary, you are SO strong and you have a LOT of people praying and cheering you on, especially during the hard times!!!

Mary and Peter, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers... Hang in there!

I have chronic fibromyalgia and insomnia and you really hit the nail on the head with 'sick' and 'still sick' - thank you! Sometimes I can pull it together and leave the house to do errands, etc and nobody has any idea how much pain and fatigue I am in sometimes. And ..... I also need the reminder to be patient with people. Think of both of you (ok - all 3 of you!)

👍 for Mary! 👍 for Peter! 👍👍 for Ollie-boy!! Praying for a treatment plan that makes you feel at ease. Praying for complete healing of this new bacteria.💕

Love the bigger Ollie! Take care, Mary and Peter. You are in my prayers.

Love you Mary, and I'm praying for you sweetie...Praying for you too Peter.

As I sit here in the hospital again with an infection they can't figure out, I watch you and it reminds me not to get upset or down in the dumps because there's others out there who have it way worse. You both are uplifting.

Mary you are a tower of strength. You inspire me every day. I'm in awe of you. ❤️

This is such a strong family. Prayers and love going your way.

We are praying for you guys! Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. We love you guys!!! ❤️

Cheering for you! and praying for you always.

Ugh I hate the post low bg anxiety/adrenaline rush and I REALLY hate the hospital anxiety. But I do exactly the same thing when I’m anxious and crank the music! I’m so sorry the home ivs aren’t working for you and that the options are limited that’s frustrating. I’m having the same frustrations of the doctors not having options of how to further treat my pain since it’s so severe and in too many places and my gastroparesis & malabsorption complicates things so I have literally spent the last week crying pretty much every day because my doctor is pretty much giving up on me and I’m so scared that nobody is going to be able or willing to help me and my body seems to just be getting worse and worse and I’m now almost completely bedbound with very little quality of life with the amount of pain and nausea im in but you guys know me, I’m addicted to this vlog and I love leaving annoyingly long comments and chatting with you when you’re able to respond so thank YOU for giving me a reason to keep fighting ❤️💪🏻😘✨🥄 I know you’ve got an amazing support system but if you ever want to chat about ANYTHING you can always message me on Facebook or instagram (Spoonieswift91) anytime 💖 love you guys!!!!

Mary you ARE incredible. don't sell yourself short. you go through a lot with your health. and you give me hope with my health

When you cough, I feel the need to cough. I guess it's "sympathetic coughing" :)) Praying for you, Mary.

Mary and Peter I just wanted to say that I've been following you now for a little while and it is just so nice to see such a sweet, loving couple that takes one day at a time. Your sentiments in todays vlog were right on target with what happens in todays society. Everyone is in a hurry, they don't smile, heck they don't even look at you in the eye as they are all gazing at cell phones. I faced cancer 3x in the last 15 years and everyone always said wow you look great even though I felt horrible. So you are right, be kind to one another, you don't know what someone is going through in their own personal life. Also, I just love Ollie. My family is a poodle family, we have 6 standard poodles between my moms and my sisters and I have 1 tiny teacup poodle, they are so smart, it is awesome to watch Ollie working with Mary and keeping watch over her. Sending you healing hugs and prayers as well.

Mary, Peter is right-- you really ARE amazing! And Peter is, too. Every time I stop by your channel, I leave feeling encouraged. The way you love and support each other and continue to push forward despite hardships is truly incredible. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself when I have a hard day, or when I'm not feeling well, and I know that's totally okay, but then I think of you and I'm encouraged to push through. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You are a blessing to many. "Do what you think you can't do, uhhuh!"

Thank you for sharing your lives with us!😁💗 I’m a disabled Army veteran who hurt my back while serving. Spinal fusions didn’t help to much. I live in pain in 24/7 for 10 years. Having a positive attitude, faith in God and love of family and friends are the reasons I get through each day! Prayers going your way Mary..God Bless!😇

Love you Mary. Praying hard for all that need the extra push of goodness. Invisible illnesses need to be remembered by everyone. I have a friend who got terrible notes taped all over her car, shaming her for using a handicapped parking spot. You do not know what battles one is fighting inside their own bodies every minute of their lives. Always lead with love and compassion.

Praying for you Mary and Peter, always

I just have to say that I have been watching your vlogs for about a month now and you guys are truly inspirational. I am not chronically ill, i don’t have anyone close to me chronically ill but after seeing your story i realize that everyone is chronically dealing with something. It could be big or small but how you react and your attitude towards the life that God has given you is what truly counts. And of course the support of a wonderful spouse!! I do not want to say that what you live with each day is anything compared to my chronic sinus headache or body ache or whatever ailment i may have that day but you have taught me to roll with the punches and make the best of what you have. I️ pray that your lungs get the rest they need over the next few days 😉 and your hospital stay goes well and is short! Above all thank you for sharing your life with us and being such an inspiring family!! Also i think multi color lights in your house would be very cool! Especially in your bedroom with how the walls are slanted! Just saying!

Prayers for you. I am always amazed by your attitude. You are a model for many!

The love you two have for each other through adversity is such a beautiful thing to witness. I'm ordering an Ollie bundle now! God Bless you and prayers for peace and stability with your health! Thank you for sharing these moments.

Mary, you are amazing. I wish you peace and some healing to make holidays brighter!

I love that picture it's so true. I was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis last week and am waiting to start treatment but in the meantime I'm in constant pain and because I'm 22 people think there's no way I could be in so much pain. You guys are so inspiring, I love this channel!

What you said at the end about looking healthy on the outside but you're actually sick is totally true. I was recently diagnosed with dysautonomia and it's true, people think you look healthy and don't understand that you are sick, which is hard. Thank you guys for doing what you do, spreading awareness and giving hope, even through the hard times

Do what you think you can't do! Rooting for you Mary!

Prayers prayers and more prayers!

Stay strong Mary! You're an inspiration to the rest of us. I have tests at the hospital tomorrow and am so scared. I watched your video today to hear what I knew would be words of daily wisdom and strength in the face of adversity. You and Peter are a blessing to many...

Mary and Peter--together you are better! Praying that this will be a short hospital stay and you'll be back at home living The Frey Life together soon! Thank you for sharing with us.

Mary, I don't really know what to say but I'm so glad you are here. You are such a light and an inspiration and example of faith to me. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Love you guys! Especially liked your message at the end of the video. I identify because I’ve suffered and fought through mental health disorders for the past 40 years while also dealing with PTSD. I used to call myself a “survivor” but now I choose to call myself a “warrior” because the fight will continue until I die.

Praying for you, Mary! You are an inspiration. I'm not a CF patient, but have been ill since 2009. It does get tiring to hear, but you look good. You have a great support system in Peter.

You go, Mary! Stay strong! Lots of prayers for you, Mary!

In two of my college classes we're studying the immune system and a persons microbiome this week. We have to do research papers on related diseases or conditions and I'm doing both on Cystic Fibrosis. Watching your videos has given me a unique perspective which is great to add to my papers. I also just ordered my Oliver birthday bundle! And I wanted to just say how much I admire you both. You are always so positive and happy and you don't let your bad days shake your faith. Thank you for letting me watch and follow your journey!

First of all, I think you guys are amazing. I’ve been watching your videos for the last couple of months and I just really admire your guys’ strength and your relationship. And second, thank you for trying to show people via your instagram picture that people can be struggling even if it is not visible on the outside. I myself have autism and often struggle with periods of depression. It is difficult for people who don’t have (experience with or knowledge of) these problems to understand how much energy normal, day to day stuff, can cost us. And to understand how we can be so tired after one activity that we can’t do anything else that day. To be honest, I still struggle to understand (and accept) that myself sometimes. So it is really helpful when people don’t judge you for it, but are kind instead. That can really make a difference.

I love how u introduction you do for newbies. In the videos most people don't even do that! Been subbed a while just so busy I cant hardly RU-vid. Wish u well.

Your positive attitude and strength amazes me!

Mary, you’re amazing! By far the strongest chick I’ve ever seen. Y’all are so inspiring and I appreciate that you show the good times and the bad. I’m sure that can’t be easy sometimes. Praying that this new bacteria will be knocked out quickly and praying for a short hospital stay. And Oliver is just the cutest thing ever.

Hang in there Mary. Glad you have a plan. praying that this will help get u feeling a little better.

I've been praying daily for you sweet Mary. You and your husband and Olli are amazing as you are. I'm praying they can get you fixed up. Love you all💕

It's the same senerio for people who have mental illness. I may be ok on the outside but in the inside I'm struggling to get through the day.

You guys make me cry almost everyday..BUT happy tears..in a way. I see how much you take care of each other and how you SEE life in such a beautiful way. I have SLE (Lupus) and found out yesterday I have pneumonia. I am going to sit all day and binge watch you today. Thank you for sharing your life and Ollie. You bring us so many valuable lessons..everyday!

That bacteria might have a lot going for it but it’s no match for your spirit, Mary! Prayers being lifted in Alabama that it is defeated way sooner than anyone could ever predict. Peter...you rock! Prayers are also being lifted for you and Ollie Boy during this difficult season!

It's okay Mary!! You can do this!! We love you Mary!!

You truly are an inspiration to me.. I have about 15 different medical/chronic illnesses that are all starting to create issues at 24 years, I'm in the same boat with not having many good options.. I love watching your videos though, they make me smile and feel like if you can get through life so positively, I can too!

Mary, I am praying for you and Pete and for the team working on your case that the best treatment for a healing for you comes quickly. Please continue to keep us posted. I know how difficult is it to take one step foward and two steps backward. But yeah for all the great things that happen to those around you to destract you while you wait for the next good things to come your way.

Great advice Mary, being kind makes not only someone else's day better it will do the same for the person who showed the kindness. Sending prayers your way. 🙏🏼 Three thumbs up for all three of you. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Continued prayers for you. Hope they can get rid of the bacteria and find a way to help

❤️❤️ love the vlogs praying for good news and better health

Sending so many prayers your way, Mary. Keep on fighting!

Mary, you are incredible. And Peter, you are obviously an amazing support for your beautiful wife. What an inspiring couple. Love you both! xxx

I love you guys sooo sooo much!!!! I subscribed to your channel, for the last 3 days I ve been watching half of your videos.....I am addicted to you now...and THANK YOU for posting these videos!!! This is the real life. Everyone is dealing with health issues and fighting to move on and move on ... this is what I need to see every single day of my life. Im struggling with some health issues and you too are just giving me a kick in my ass to keep moving with life. God bless you!!!! These videos are HELPING people all over the world!!!! Thank you for doing this!

Praying for you Mary an Peter “do what you think you can’t do” 👍

I got my my first item today from the frey life store! It's the "do what you think you can't do" sticker for my car! Super excited! Stay strong Mary!! You can do this!

Praying for you both! One of my favorite qoutes is "If God brings you to it He will bring you through it"

Thank you for my Ollie Bundle! It is so soft and cute. My niece will love him❤️

Mary you really are incredible. The past few days, I've really been struggling myself due to mental health issues related to medical concerns. How strong and positive you are truly does inspire me. I struggle with Anxiety and when it flares up (like it has the past few days), the Anxiety blocks my brain from being able to see the hope and joy in anything else. All I can focus on is the Anxiety. And none of my medical issues are to the extent of yours. So again, your positivity and strength truly inspires me. And Peter, you amaze me as well. You both take everything in stride and always find the hope and joy in everything. So Thank You both for being you :)

I too, have a needle in my chest! It was just found that I have a new bacteria growing and hopefully this new drug will take care of it. I have no appetite, eat baby food for the past three months, and lost over 20 pounds. Now I am totally disabled. Have Late stage chronic Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia, neurological issues which are permanent, short term memory loss, syncope, balance issues, stomach is not functioning, and the list goes on. My husband and I love watching the three of you every day. You make our journey more bearable! God Bless you all, prayers every day for you!

Oh, Mary so sorry to hear that you have to go back to the hospital you don't deserve all these problems that you are having with your health. I truly hope that your team can help get rid of this new bacteria that is growing. I would like to wish you the best of luck with the treatment and that you are not in the hospital for too long. Keep up the fight with this horrible disease and that one day a cure is found for people with Cystic Fibrosis.GOOD LUCK Mary and take care of yourself as best you can and keep on fighting.....

My Husband and I said a prayer for you tonight. :) Get better soon!

Love you guys keep strong Mary never give up just keep fighting

Praying for you Mary, feel better soon. Love you and Peter and Ollie.🙏🙏

I love you all! My thoughts are always with you... I never judge someone i don't know, you make me understand that not everyone looks sick and I look at the world diffent after watching you.

Awe Mary I love you so much, your always in my thoughts. Peter your amazing! Ollie boy your precious!

I hope the new treatment will help your body get better. You surely are one strong woman, Mary. I'm glad you have a Peter by your side. You are an amazing team. Sending you love all the way from France.

That’s not good. Sorry to hear. But you are an amazing strong young lady. You got this.

I don't comment very often, but I felt the need to say hi today. You are both such sweet and loving people, and I think it's amazing that you have each other to walk through life with. Even in the midst of difficult news and tough health decisions, you guys continue to brighten my day! Blessings to you from San Diego! -Ali

Mary I am so praying for you. Hoping for great things at hospital. Love you and Peter,and of course Ollie.
