I had a revelation today- our bodies are really impatient things... I was nebulizing an antibiotic, mixing an IV antibiotic, and my feeding tube started beeping! They all wanted attention at the same time! haha. If only they could learn patience! How are you guys doing today? Tell me something random... what did you eat for lunch?

The Frey Life I just had KFC for lunch at the laundromat as we're trying to get hubby ready for his 24hr sleep study! I def understand abt every part of the body wanting attention at once! The hardest thing for me this year is juggling my endo pain with fibro pain with cfs fatigue and migranes and hyperthyroidism and trying to get stable enough for a total thyroidectomy and ahhh!! It really can be a juggling act!! I really appreciate your videos! Your attitude towards it all encourages me so much!! Always praying for you Mary! And Peter and Ollie too! 💜🐕❤

I’m watching you from the comfort of my infusion chair. Thanks for keeping me company while I am getting my two hour infusion.

So sorry it was a rough drive home but I admire your celebration of being together and enjoying dinner and the lights. Thumbs up to Peter for taking a break at the rest stop, for Mary for facing terrible body feelings with such a sweet smile - almost always - and for Ollie holding it all day until he got a break. LOL Love you guys.

I agree with one viewer. You need a pillow and blanket in the car the both of you in case you need it and snacks and bottles of water in case you get stuck in traffic or weather. Oh yeah Kitty Litter too. For those that do not know you use that for the tires in case it snows for traction. The Christmas lights were gorgeous. I live close to Dollywood. They have over one million lights there. It is gorgeous at Christmas.

Got a card from the post office that I had a parcel. So excited, raced over to pick up my Ollie Bundle. They couldn’t find my parcel, so she asked me to describe it. I explained all about the bubble wrap mailer with a big Ollie face on it. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out it was only my Roomba, in a cardboard box. ☹️ can’t wait for Ollie-boy to arrive.

Peter...you are one of the most pleasant, patient, selfless people I have ever seen!

Beautiful lights...with the accompanying beautiful classic music....bravo!

I feel many ppl give thumbs down as in they don't like what Mary is having to go through...like they are empathetic and not realizing it's about video ratings and whatnot. After all it's weird to thumbs up when things arent going so well...except Facebook with years of limited reactions taught us a thumbs up just shows support for whatever the situation is even if it's not so good.

It feels like you guys have become part of my family even though we've never actually met. I love how I see in your eyes when you look at each other how in love you are.

Oliver makes me smile every time. Haven't been watching that long but as a poodle person I'm addicted. Take care of yourself, the 2 of you are a magical couple.

I don't know why but when I found your channel a couple months back I fell in love with wanting to learn about CF and this channel helps a lot. Mary you seem so sweet and anyone who gets to be friends with you is lucky! Peter you're an amazing guy and Mary is extremely lucky to have you.

Praying for you. Thanks for the Boston pictures, my son lives there. Have a good rest, tomorrow is a new day.

#DoWhatYouThinkYouCantDo You guys have impacted my life tremendously. I really hope to meet you amazing people one day!!!!

I don't work for any of the main parcel carriers like USPS, UPS, or FedEx but my company does handle a lot of the larger things shipped like Tv's, playhouses, trampolines, etc that are ordered online and I can't say I've ever had anyone root for us before. 😂 After a very rough "peak season" day, that just made my day!

The Christmas lights look so magic!! I loved seeing Boston and its buildings 😍

I so much enjoy watching you guys enjoy the lights, I remember last year you were stuck in the hospital most of the Christmas season.

Isn’t Christmastime in Boston magical?! I love going up there this time of the year!

I grew up in Boston and back in my youth the Christmas lights were few and very simple. That is not to say that they weren't magical. I still remember the feeling inside me when the first lights appeared. Not at T-day as now, but about the 15th of Dec. The anticipation was delicious! 😊 When I see Boston's lights now, all I can think is "I didn't know the city could be so beautiful, at night, in the rain, in December". Thanks for taking us on tour in spite of your long, difficult day😍🤗 😇

Watched this while doing the Denneroll prescribed by my chiropractor for my neck injury following a TBI. it’s all about consistency. I feel one ounce of what you do! Do what you think you can’t do!

Thanks for showing us the lights in Boston! So pretty!

Mary's impression of her overly-dramatic organs killed me. 🤣

You are an inspiration for everyone ❤❤❤❤❤

I saw your home Christmas tree lights reflected your glasses, Mary! ‘Twas magical 😁

@thefreylife Speaking of packages! I ordered the giraffe iPhone X striped case from your store last night and it shipped this morning! So excited!

Boston looks amazing I’d love to see it all in person

The lights while driving in the city were so pretty. I love seeing Christmas stuff.

I used to live in Boston and I LOVE that you guys got the Comm Ave tree lights

Our family loves your vlog 💖☃️ we keep you in our prayers always !!

Those lights are so pretty! Sorry today was rough on your Mary, but so glad that the blood counts are stable enough for now x

Mary you are such a strong person! God Bless you sweet heart!

Both of you are such an inspiration xxxx

My husband works for the USPS and is so greatfull for someone to just say thank you. Also if you put just a bag of chips or a bottle of water in your mail box I promise is will make your mail person's day.

Got my Ollie bundle finally after a long wait(international post) I love it , we have Frey life all over the house Hope your feeling better. I had asthma today and lists of pain in my foot ruptured tendon

loves all the Christmas lights they are my fave!! 💗🎄

Mary I'm so proud of u

I work the USPS. I have for 31 years I got mine but I haven't been lucky enough too see one in the mail stream. I love you guys ❣ Mary please feel better I love your Christmas cheer. I'm alone you guys make my day❣🐾

I should've eaten more food, but because of stress & anxiety, I was only able to manage a cup of rice & a piece of cinnamon toast. Thank you for always being so encouraging & for helping put life into perspective. You're an amazing person!

Merry Christmas and an excellent New year

The lights in the city are beautiful!!

You guys are just so amazing!! Mary feel better.

Watching your vlog today vs the traffic pretty much summed up my day today. After making calls all week long following an ER visit last Saturday and the issues from that visit were getting worse not better and trying to get a doctor to tell us something we finally get a call on a Friday asking us to come to the clinic at 3 PM and just expect to wait while they fit us in. Of course that meant that we got into see the doctor and got done with the appointment right at the start of rush hour. Sadly we are no longer at the Children's Hospital with no parking fees so staying in the garage or sitting around the hospital waiting out rush hour is not too cost effective. Its just ends up being frustrating. At least you guys had options :)

I love you so much Mary(Peter & Ollie too!!) I didn't get to watch this yesterday because I was super busy and had a dental procedure totally mess up the levels of oxygen to my brain.. I was paralyzed for 20 minutes! When that got under control, I headed home to prep for my choir concert. It's been a rough couple of days. I have CRPS and my left arm hasn't quite recovered from that episode at the dentist. Thank you guys for being so great!!

Frey time !! Much love and prayers from France :*

the city looks so pretty at night, thanks for sharing

I look so forward to your vlogs. Many nights when I sit down to watch I don't want it to end. Tonight is one of those nights. I know a lot of time and effort go into your vlogs and you've had a long day but could watch you three for hours. So as always, I will see you tomorrow. Good night.

allisoneuph1 that’s amazing! I know your excitement right now! They are brilliant, brilliant dogs! Annnnnnnnd THEY DON’T SHED! So no need to worry about that clean up and no need worrying about being in a close space with anyone who has allergies to dog fur. Although make sure you keep up with the ears most important. Poodles are notorious for ear problems... just make sure the hair is plucked or kept short and clean inside his ears. And clean the inside anyway every once in awhile to make sure there isn’t “Goop” .

I found your channel through chronically jaquie, and the raw life. I would love to be able to buy an Ollie bundle but am on a limited income. on ssi os barely get enough to live on. but your vlogs and jaquie's and Janice's really cheer me up.

I hope your blood counts stay where they are. You've been in the hospital so often lately. Ugh, the PFT test sucks! I hope to do it for my job. The lady kept yelling at me because I kept failing. I told her I'm not trying to, it's just hard! I can't even imagine how it's for you 😫 I don't have CF or asthma or anything so it's gotta be hard for you

I️ love watching you guys! You are so cute and just make my day! When ever I️ can’t sleep or have anxiety I️ watch you guys and it really helps!!! keep being AMAZING!!

Hi mary its good to see your blood work is doing good. Love your family and oliver is so cute.

Boston city lights are so beautiful in the winter! In fact in my city about 30 minutes from Boston there are still a few pretty lights up.

I did pfts yesterday at my cf clinic and i am on ivs for another week..😷😭praying for u mary

Mary, you are a champ! I was majorly impressed by all the medical juggling you were doing when you were in the car. And then one of those devices had the nerve to COMPLAIN! How dare it! Beep....Beep....Beep. And you just kept calm and carried on.

I just love you guys. You make me happy.

I work for Fedex world hub in Memphis Tennessee so every are we package that is going from UPS or US postal through Fedex goes right by my face and I drive you and load you on the plane I have seen several Ali bundles and I’m like oh my goodness look at the cute puppy package I know this package and people look at me like I’m weird. I’m actually driving home from Fedex right now listening to your blog from yesterday that I missed because I was sleeping because I work at night and I’ve been listening to you on the way home. And you’re keeping me company. Mary I pray that you’re feeling better today have you ever tried ginger for nausea nausea they come in pills to or you can take some fresh ginger at the onset of feeling nauseated and it supposed to stop it

I love you guys,Mary you're a strong person 😊❤️💪🏻

Love you Guys!

HI MARY I HAD PB&J MY FATIGUE WAS LIKE NO COOKING TODAY LOVEDB THE LIGHTS

I work for Ontrac and your recognition for the hard work we do made me smile! Work has definitely been pretty insane lately haha

When Peter said all the holiday shipments I thought he was going to say all the holiday shit 😂😂😂

Hi Mary and Peter you all seen so happy your continuous love shows though.please take care love and hugs to you all

Beautiful lights in the trees xoxox sorry your not feeling fantastic but you did just get out of the hospital be at peace xoxo with your body xoxo

you so strong hun much love xx

I was just typing that I always have a little blow up small pillow and small blanket (but, your always hot, Mary) in the car. Because when I start to crash? My car is the next alternative to actually laying down in my bed. I'm sure you do but, I try to think through oat usual possible situation , and then, try to determine how my body might like to butt in! 😷😅

I know you guys love Christmas/Christmas lights, I don't know if you've ever heard or gone to it, but there's a place in Attleboro Mass called La Salette Shrine and they have a huge beautiful set up of Christmas/Holiday lights. It's really beautiful I've gone there almost every single year of my life except the last 2 and I'll probably go after Christmas but it's beautiful. but very busy on Fridays/Saturdays mainly!

Beautiful drive through the city! How many Oli birthday bundles have you sold? I love mine.

Oh boy. That was such a fright with the little boy. Speedy reflexes! I'm sure you'll both be okays, but sending you lots of love anyways!

Our local hospital has such a pretty row of trees with the white lights and anytime I go out at night I get to see them since we live right near there. 😊

Hugs sweet trio.

I just love Boston...except for the traffic! I think a lot of the streets are historic and too narrow to handle all that traffic.

The nebulizer you used in the car is that special for you antibiotic only or can you use it for all nebulizing drugs like albuterol, brovana, budesonide, etc....?

Hi my name is laney and I'm making a power point about y'all because y'all inspire me a lot and I have a tube too

I’m kinda new to your channel so I don’t know too much about your medication stuff. But is it normal for your blood counts to go down on those antibiotics for anyone who is on a them or just for CF patients? Just curious. What a beautiful city.

The kid walking in made me curious about the functioning of the clinic- I'm assuming that because cf patients can be dangerous for eachother due to the different infections etc, then there's some rules around hygiene/contamination etc. Are they only allowed to take a set number of patients a day to allow time for cleaning etc? Are there set protocols for cf clinic to minimise transmission of certain infections? Sorry, long winded but I love all things medical :) lots of love from new zealand x

Hi, I'm a CF patient as well & at the adult clinic that I go to, the patients call from their cars to check in and the nurse calls you on your cell phone when they are ready. They will meet you at the front door where they have a mask & hand sanitizer waiting for you & take you straight back to your room. They also run large medical air purifiers in each room, sanitize all surfaces between patients, and require the room to be vacant for 30 minutes between patients to reduce infection risk. While I was still in the pediatric clinic, we had to wear a mask, but patients would wait in the same general area, and there was no 30 minute room vacancy between patients. Also my pulmonary doctors have always seen CF patients one day per week (Wednesday's at my clinic) so all of the other people there are CF patients as well, but that may now be the case at every clinic.
