Update: We got home late last night! So good to be home. James still has lots of appointments and four more weeks of IV antibiotics through 'hospital in the home'. He is getting stronger each day. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
U can tell in the voice over Anne isn't her happy usual self, my hart goes out to u, I have watch u since the very beginning, love u so much, hope hes feeling better now.
@@catherinequ2907 Yeah I noticed I was wrong about it, but no many do use apostrophes. If you're (;D) like me and is learning English in school it's (;D) just the way we have to do it. So we intergrate that elsewhere when we are writing in English.
The most beautiful eyes have cried the most tears. I truly hope she and her son are doing much better now, as I could feel her worries and concerns for her son from a place of pure motherly love and compassion. She is such an amazing person and so kind to all her viewers and a kindred spirit, seeing her almost cry again brought tears to my eyes and from the depths of my heart I truly hope all is well for them.
this giant M&M looks so real. i was wondering how it turns out wow 😲i hope your son gets well soon!!! it reminds me of my son at the hospital... i had to take him to the hospital again next month... yeah, totally better at home.
Hi ochikeron, thanks for your kind thoughts. Yes James is getting better ... it's a slow recovery but he's back at school & starting to feel strong again. I hope your son is okay too 😁
I usually don’t comment on videos but this touched my heart. I wish you and your family the best, God bless you. Your fans will understand if you can’t upload new videos for a while, take your time, we know your family is always your priority, as it should :) kisses!
thank you Maria ... yes we didn't really plan to upload this video (or even talk about the personal story) but it just sort of happened that way & we really wanted to bless the nurses too. Thanks for your support :)
Oh Lord my heart is breaking for you, Ann and Dave. I couldn't imagine watching my child through that, you've been so incredibly strong Ann. Continue taking care of yourself while your taking care of your son.
As a momma that has sat with her nine year old son as he suffered with a level 4 lacerated kidney for 2 weeks, I know all too well what you’re going through, and yet you’re holding up so much better than I did! Praying for you and your family, stay strong, Momma, and thank you for sharing such a great update with all us out here.
Monotone Screaming So sweet of you to ask!Yes, four years later now and he’s a healthy teenager. He still has a terrible scar in that kidney but it’s doing it’s job, and we’re so grateful.😊
@@aaronvillanueva2239 that's great!I have three younger siblings, and even though they annoy me sometimes, I couldn't bear if something happened to them
I know I'm two years late, but while she was giving the recipe her voice was slightly softer than usual, or it's just that I haven't watched any of the videos from two years ago.
@Brion Seno This person is sending a prayer to a sick boy, but that doesn't mean that by doing this he or she is neglecting care to the people of his or her country (Sorry Aya Beetar, I don't know if your name is male or female, but that's my ignorance) Let's just send love and prayers in any language and religion to everyone that's in distress! Have a good day :)
@@rozazb8138 actually Aya is a female name, it can mean "proof" As in her perfect creation is a proof of God's greatness, it can mean "miracle", " Person" And "verse". Hope my explanations were clear and helpful, even a little 😊
Anne you are amazing! Your boy James is amazing! Thank you for sharing all you do with us and also thank you for sharing about your family. As a mom, I am crying with you but I know that you know that you are stronger than you think you are. I am lifting you and James and your family up in prayer that Jesus may continue to cover you all with his healing grace and that all of this will be but a memory very soon.
@@stevecarellmichaelscott6106 really ? How can pain be a Competition? Nobody asked whether your problems are worse. Am sorry u lost her, but there is no need to say u r worse than someone else
We love you and your family Ann!! SO so sorry to hear about the all the difficulties James has faced these past few weeks. I'm really happy to hear he's on the mend. It must not have been an easy decision to share your story and I'm sure many of us are grateful that you did that for your fans. And of course the giant M&M put a huge smile on my face xx
@@HumanWAname i think you misread the comment aha from my understanding, the person that said that meant that the determination is hereditary since y'know the whole family is amazing. since they quoted “he's determined” i thought that it was clear what they were referencing ❤️
This brought tears to my eyes. My daughter has been home for a week from a hospital stay of her own due to a serious illness. Listening to you and seeing the videos of your son reminded me of our stay and all the emotions which I felt while she was so sick. We are lucky she was only there for just over a week and now that she's home she's recovering quickly. I hope James comes home soon and recovers just as fast. It's odd thinking back to the days before her hospitalization and all the things I was doing or was worried about that week, and how we had no idea what lay on the horizon. I found the hospital experience both terrible and wonderful. The fear I felt ate at me day and night and that was awful, but the doctors and nurses were incomparable and worked day and night to help my daughter get better and I'm eternally grateful. While there, because I also stayed in the hospital for the duration of my daughter's stay, I met a few wonderful moms whose children were in the hospital for varying degrees of illnesses. It's humbling to meet parents whose children won't come home one day. I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the best.
anna foxie Lewis how dare you say that. Honestly that was so disrespectful from you. What? do you think that’s funny? Because it’s not. I imagine you’ve never went through a situation like that because if you had, you would know how it feels. *its not funny.*
Glad he is doing better, and it was so kind to give the M&M away to the hospital staff! I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and pray for a speedy recovery!
even two years later, this is such a sad, touching story about how we should appreciate what we have before it all goes wrong. So happy tht you guys got through this!
Because of antibiotics, people underestimate how scary and dangerous infections can be. Your content reaches a lot of people and I'm sure it'll become an important reminder for us to treat these diseases with the responsibility they deserve. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for sharing your life with us, even in these hard times. You're a real inspiration.
jheckie14 1928 - Antibiotics were invented. However over the years it became more and more useless, with people using it for less and less serious reasons. Antibiotics should not be used in cold or stuff like that! It is supposed to be one of your final resorts if it doesn't completely heal Because of this, antibiotic-resistant are becoming more and more common across the world. Eventually we will fall into the Antibiotic Apocalypse and will result in a plague that will destroy the world.
I'm glad I learned about antibiotic as soon as possible and hence why I never request for antibiotics when I have a normal cold of sorts. Been 'forcing' my body to rebuild its own immune system and I rarely get sick ever since!
Oh Ann...i want to say something supportive that helps but then i look trough the comments seeing all these wonderful people praying and trying to comfort you and that makes me realise what an amazing community you've made. All the best wishes for you and your family, you're truly strong ♡♡
I know I am late. I wasnt able to get to my phone. Now that I have It want to say I hope for the best for you family. My uncle was hospitalized but sadly he didnt make but I hope that all is well with you family you have my prayers and best wishes.
4 years late, but as a teen who spends many months a year in the hospital- it’s lovely to see parents taking such good care of their kids. Keeping them company and such. You’re wonderful.
I cried for you and your son it just made me so sad and worried because these things happen all the sudden hope you all the best and your son may he never suffer this again I pray
My mum died in a hospital due to cancer she used to say, 'I am felling so much better! Honey! i'll be home with you in a couple days!' Then the next day she died... Im literally bawling my eyes out as I am writing this comment.. :..(
Bless you! I’m so sorry! It takes so much courage to even say this on the internet and I can’t imagine the pain. I just want you to know you are so strong and I’m sending you all the love in the world. Hope you’re ok and that you are safe💛
Thank you for sharing this tough story... And thank you for making us a video despite being overwhelmed with life. I wish you and your family the best! Go James!
So very glad to hear he is doing better! My very best wishes for his continued recovery, and for you and the whole family. Your videos are wonderful, but your family is even better.
I have had 14 surgeries in 4yrs. I'm not comparing your son's difficulties to mine. Just letting you know how much I know the hospital life..it's a whole different world! I am so glad he is finally doing better and, if you don't mind, will be praying for him and your family. That's amazing that he chose a special nurse to give it to! I always try to leave gifts of candy or flowers to the nurse(es) who made a difference for me during each stay. They get so little thanks...a giant M&M is a wonderful idea!!! Hope he continues to improve and please let us know how he is progressing! 💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜
Aww Anne I hate seeing you cry! I've been watching your channel for years, and from all the videos I've watched I can see that you are a strong, loving, family. Have hope, there is a big light at the end of this tunnel
You are amazing and inspiring. I cried within 3 minutes and I know how terrible you feel. I hope he gets better physically and you get happier. I love you Ann you are my idol. I’m also an Aussie
Im so sorry sweetie. Its so devastating to see our babies in pain or bad health struggles. I am so sorry he had so much complications, i cried with you. Hope he can come home soon
I’m a year or so late, but I’m so glad your son is ok now and fought through with all his strength. I know too well the problems associated with prolonged hospital stays and the many complications that can happen.
I can't imagine how hard it's been for your all. Such an emotional video. I really hope James is feeling much better soon. I'm sure his nurse will enjoy the giant M&M, such a great gift X x
Wow. What a touching story and kind, unusual gift for the helpful nurse. I'm watching this during the pandemic and am thinking how much nurses do for all of us. Honoring one seems especially poignant (not that your son's needs were not equally great). I'm so glad that he was able to fight off the infection.
OMG, how traumatic. i hope your son is feeling better and is out of the hospital sooner than soon. wishing him a speedy recovery. He is brave. you are braver. xx
Geez I had an antibiotic resistant staph infection in one of my joints. I know exactly what he was going through. I've had 2 children & would rather have that pain any day of the week than what I had with the infection. I was in the hospital for 2 & a half weeks while I learned how to walk again. I also had 6 weeks after that of strong as hell at home IV antibiotics. It was an ordeal that I don't wish on anyone. I'm sorry it's something you had to deal with as there is no pain like it & I understand, more than most, how bad it was.
I had that too! It was resistant to the first antibiotics they gave me, so I was there longer than was necessary. 40°C fever, I didn’t eat for a week, unable to walk, first surgery didn’t work. It was an ordeal, and I was only 10. I can’t imagine what he went through (Past tense because I’m late)
@@georgie488 apparently from what I'm hearing James has contracted a MRSA infection while he was in hospital recovering from his operation. MRSA [Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus] is a very nasty hospital-borne disease that can attack anyone without warning.
As a fellow nurse I know that guy would have been so incredibly stoked to show his colleagues and tell his friends and family what you and your son gave him 💗 things like that so rarely happen, but when they do it totally warms your soul and gives you a massive boost. Also really hoping your son came out of this well xx
Ur voice Ann i can feel the pain ...... :( Really hoping ur son gets well sooner.. N im confident that ur next video will be very joyful n no more of such complications ...
You're whole family are troopers. We are with you but the love that you have shown to each other and how determined you still are for your RU-vid channel and to still post is admirable and has bought me to tears. You are a heroic inspiration that I look up to.
Hello ms anne i am 1 of ur fans because i love all of ur baking Back to dave i wish him good luck....ms anne were here for u and were so proud of u good luck to all of you ms anne especially ur dear dave
hi! i just found out about your videos, and i'm not so familiar, but i was wondering why i kept seeing a giant M&M thumbnail, so i saw the video. i am speechless!!! your children are adorable, or at least, i _think_ i know which ones they are from the videos i first watched, which are of the kids tasting all the frostings. some of them ended up being your kids... and i'm not sure which one was in the hospital. is James from the videos? anyway, i was heartbroken to find this video after such happy ones, but i am happy he's ok. what kind of operation was he there for initially? i once had a friend who's girlfriend got an infection like this from an operation, and i will spare you the details, but just to say that she survived, and so, i was so worried in the first part of the video, but then so glad he was ok after they had him on the right, specific antibiotics. i know we don't know each other, and i hope it's not so weird that i care this much... but from the USA, i just wanted to say it pained me to see you so worried and in tears, and i'm glad he's ok. and then... the original thing i would have said before seeing this video: your videos are amazing and they've taught me so much, and your children are adorable. thank you for making these videos!!!
hi prodigalus, yes James has been in many of the videos over the years. Thanks for your kind words, it's been a really tough month but I'm happy to say that we are now on top of the infection & James is starting to get healthy again. Very grateful for everyone's support and prayers in recent weeks :)
thank you for replying!! i've since found your sons' channel, and realized that i had seen James on the video about the frosting tasting, and it was all-the-more heartbreaking to see all three boys on their channel, and to know that James' life had been threatened by the infection. so glad to hear his health is returning. and... i know that this may sound here or there, but i think theirs (and your viewers) would love to see a video of all three of them again, especially since it's been awhile since there's been an upload to their channel. i know i would like to see them interact again, and maybe even talk about how they feel about what happened? just the opinion of one person. so glad your heart is no longer so stressed!!!
Every parent will know that it really hurts seeing that your child is experiencing painful stuff, whether physical, mental and emotional terms. But it feels so great if they finally managed to get through it. I'm no parent, but I can see how painful for you to know that he's very sick and infected. Hope that your family, and all the families here in the community, will stay healthy and strong. That's all. Sending hearts to you guys! :)
I made a wedding cake for in the hospital. My grandma has Diabetes. She fell and broke her leg. But after 5 years she still had an open spot on her leg. I won't tell details. She was married for 50 years with my grandpa while she was in the hospital. We had a party there in a family room. Her wish was having a wedding cake. So me and my dad made her one.
I also experienced a similar thing with my dad. He had an anniversary while in hospice for cancer. We got catering and had a nice party. About a month later he died. I hope you grandma is okay.
@@bethanykroemer559 that's so sad! Cancer is a true criminal. So terrible. My grandma is ok. She is a very tough one. The wound has closed and she refuses to give up. This year they will celebrate 55 years of marriage.
Oh my goodness ..... I'm going to cry I can't even imagine I feel so bad I've been praying every day I'm so glad that he has been doing better.lots of love and prayers from Peyton.
I know I'm two years late, but it's honestly just amazing that James kept such a positive attitude through all this suffering. Lots of love from North Carolina, and I know you already know this but your videos are amazing.❤❤❤
Thankyou for letting us know James is safe now and getting better. Its something no parent should ever endure, watching their child go through hell. I almost lost my daughter to meningococcal septacemia when she was 14 days old. Luckily the staff were brilliant and she pulled through . We all love your channel and i'm sure everyone will agree that although we appreciate you posting videos, if you need time off to sort out your family then please do. They are your priority and we are all happy to wait till things are back to normal for you all. Huge hugs to you all from the UK .
I’m so sorry you are all going through this but I’m glad you are so strong and have each other during this time. Omg I hope you don’t feel rushed into going back to work, all I’m worried about is all of you healing ❤️❤️❤️
I may be 2 years late seeing this as I’ve only been a subscriber for a few months but I’m really happy that your family made it through this together, you’re an amazing woman and have helped me through some really hard times lately watching your videos has really helped me in moments when I really feel down and have had horrible thoughts of hurting myself or not wanting to be around anymore. I know it sounds crazy how can one woman’s RU-vid channel have this effect on you?! And I can’t explain that but it really does you saved me Ann and for that I am so thankful so I’m extremely happy that you made it through this.
My heart broke watching this video I hope he gets better soon. The last few months have been really hard on me as well with my nan and her cancer she will be sadly passing away sometime this year but my family have no idea when
omg wait ann subs these videos herself? respect - they help me so much and ik how long it takes to sub videos (since this is an old video i know they're doing fine now, so i hope they continue to have good health and longevity 💕)
Oh I am so sorry to see James like that I hope he gets better and Ann you did a good job making the giant M&M and gifting it to James I hope James gets better soon
You have a heart of gold. So does your family. I wish and pray that you guys stay safe from any more danger and sadness and scares and always be happy and healthy in life. You deserve the world Ann. You're so giving when it comes to your talents. People like you deserve nothing but a life free of worries and harm. Prayers for James to get better soon.
Oh lord help Ann and her family get through this rough time in their life. Ann my prayers and my family's prayers are with you.Your boy James is strong and I know you, Dave and your other two boys will stay strong and support James all the way through. I know how hard it is when someone you love and cherish and is really close to you goes through a suffering moment like this. My grandfather passed away in the hospital due to a superbug,a severe lung infection and a heart disease.I am truly speechless as to how strong and determined you are. My thoughts and prayers are with you,Dave,James and your other two boys.I love you Ann
Oh Ann. I'm 2yrs late, but I had tears when I listened to you about James. I am so happy that he recovered. God bless. Love from South Africa. May I ask how old are your boys?
I’m sorry to hear about what had to go through Anne, made me so teary thinking about the whole situation. But I’m so so glad he’s fighting his way back and you are staying strong for him. Sending you lots of positive vibes and fast recovery, hang in there; it shall get better soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
First of all, wishing your elder son a very quick recovery. God bless him and again buddy, get well soon. Your story really reached my heart. I am so sad for you and your family. According to me, your elder son is strong and determined because he has a very strong and supporting mother. Don't worry Ann, he will definitely be recovered completely very soon. Sending all my love, hugs, blessings and prayers to you and your family. Have a great week and see you next Friday.😍😘😋😗👍♥️
I was watching one of your tiny baking videos and then I landed on this one Praying for James And it truly breaks my heart to hear your voice, u sound really unhappy here, and im so happy he's doing well now! 8:51- 9:00
