My struggle bus ride starts in the morning with seizures and a busy school day and doesn't end at night while having nightmares and more seizures...but hey! I enjoy every moment of life to the fullest, and it doesn't matter if I have a day full of great activities or if Ineed to stay in bed because of my epilepsy. Greetings from Germany, love you too, you inspire me to look different at myself and my life ❤

I feel like I've been riding the struggle bus all week, especially today. I've been trying to make the most of it, you always motivate me to do that. Thank you both for that! ❤

I was in the ER for 12 hours on Tuesday with no answers, so they admitted me to the hospital and I stayed overnight for observation and further testing. I have never been hospitalized before. It was so scary but I just kept thinking"do what you think you can't do" the whole time. Knowing that others have gotten through it is so reassuring and I feel like watching your vlogs prepared me so I knew, in some ways, what to expect.

You guys are the Snuggle Bus...❤️❤️❤️

Mary with your J tube you can get liquid glucose from a pharmacy and put it through your tube when you aren’t able to/in the mood to take sugar orally. It will also kick your blood sugar up so much faster.

Ya'll put the rug in the perfect spot🎈

I know the blooad sugar struggle bus for sugar. I am diabetic and have gastroparesis. Just a suggestion but it helps me is to have something with protein in it with my juice. The protein keeps your blood sugars more stable. Anyways it has sure helped me a lot after my sugar dropped to 10 in August and I had a seizure that lasted 3 hours roughly because of it. Was really scary and thank the Lord my husband was home! Bless you both and Oliver too!

It's kind of perplexing that this very good advice isn't taken. I know I've seen a LOT of people make this suggestion (about taking carbs and sugar together) to combat the low blood sugar but for whatever reason you never see that it's being tried.

I am sure her doctors have told her that she has to eat as well as drink juice when her sugars drop. If you just keep putting sugar in you will spike for a few then drop even lower than you were before unless you eat too. Just like with my gastroparesis I keep a bucket next to my bed in case I get sick so I don't get sick all over our bedding. It's the simple things that save a lot of energy and time when you are sick make a huge difference.

My church's children's group has a song called The Wambulance. It's about trying to stay positive even though you feel like whining or crying, about leaning on Jesus during hard times & good times alike. Anyways, the refrain goes "waa waa waa goes the wambulance (rhymes with ambulance) & picture children rubbing their eyes like they're crying. So cute. LOL. The struggle bus reminded me of this song.

Ollie is so cute with his dog. A dog’s best friend hahaha.

That needs to be a t-shirt, I'm riding the struggle bus today!!!

Trinity smith I so agree, you could even put it on a mug.

Such precious moments with your parents, Mary. So glad you guys have enjoyed the last couple of days! It's so nice to see you all in such good spirits! Special shout out to Mary for pushing through the pain and embracing life with positivity and grace! Blessings from VT 💜

Cleaning is delicious!! When you're done cleaning it's happiness!!

I am on that bus right now ,struggling but hey life is short so i try to find some joy in anything i can :) .

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that if Mary's sugar ever goes so low that she is unresponsive, Peter, you can take regular sugar and rub it on the gums of her mouth. My grand daughter is 6 and she is a Type I Diabetic. She recently went so low she was unresponsive during the night. My daughter remembered the Endocrinologist telling her to use the sugar and thank God, it worked! By time the Paramedics got there she was already to 91 and talking! I hope you never have to, but if you do, maybe it will work for Mary too. Of course, she should check with her doctor to make sure. I love you two and feel like we are old friends! You are doing a wonderful thing by sharing your lives with us! I am disabled and at home most of the time. I know about the struggle bus, but not as bad as Mary! I pray for y'all and your families!

All that magical fluff and the struggle bus is a real thing....I love how happy you two are and I look forward to your videos

Thanks you welcome lots of love you Tube all time

I love the support your parents have for you, you are very blessed. Love you guys!!!

Love your vlogs! When you showed the 3 stooges clip I busted out laughing! 😀😀😀

Tapestry looks nice! I've had the flu for almost 2 weeks with the coughing and coughing, so I have some greater empathy for you Mary and your struggle..bless your heart..continued prayers

The dale tribe has a Star Wars carpet on their wall. You’re wall carpet buddies!

Sheet update!! THANK YOU! it was playing on my mind so much lol.

Yes! You just have to appreciate that you're still alive and capable of struggling still. You can also appreciate smaller details of the bus ride that bring you great joy :)

I LOVE your tapestry!! That's the perfect spot for it!!!

Your parents are so precious!! An I love 'The Struggle Bus'!! I've been on the struggle bus this week with my migraines. I'm strapping in! :) :)

Your dad reminds me of my late dad. He was and is my hero. Xxx

Love it❤️ A clean house is always awesome!

The rug looks great.Hang in there Mary.

I love it when your parent's come visit. They are so cool. I loved the art piece you did in Scotland over the fire place. Scotland seems like yesterday.

Oh that rug looks fantastic! Bravo!😘

Haha, riding the struggle bus, I totally get it! I hope tomorrow is less of a struggle!

Your dad is awesome! Love the dancing.

Tall dad. I wish we got to hear him say something. Funny to see him dance.

Yes. With a chronic illness you learn to enjoy the ride. 😊😊

I have 7 days to catch up on! Going to binge watch tonight, this is the longest I have missed in the whole year I've been a subscriber it's been a busy week!

It’s the struggle bus day for us too. I hope you and Ollie and Peter are doing well 👍

You can be happy on the struggle bus ....you just have to buckle up.....LOVE IT!!!!!

Lol you guys are great. I love my phone cover guys. I usually change them but I love it so much it’s still on.

The struggle bus is so real. There are times when I feel broken. Overwhelmed is also a reality.

Did you know when your blood sugar drops you can eat cheese or some kind of meat and it will help keep it up better than sugar?

I wish I could love this video. I'm so happy about chronic illness warrior uses the term the struggle bus!

Love a clean house. ❤

Ynuk-ynuk-ynuk 😂Wise guy, eh?

Nothing like a clean house 👍👍👍👍

That dance was hilarious. Your dad had this look on his face like "My women are crazy", then broke out into his own. Definitely see where you get it from!

omg the earliest I've been with The frey Life... love you guys peter, Mary & of course ollie boy - wish my service dog could meet ollie, he is labour doodle they look so sim... c u later x Mary you are such inserpration to me thinking of Vlogging because of you 3

I think your dance with your mom and dad was so cute and your dad's moves were funny. Feel better.

My struggle bus right now is a 4 day headache, that won’t go away. On the brighter side, I launched my first vlog today! Feel better, Mary.

I can definitely say I'm a lifetime ticket holder for the struggle bus. I think in some way you can "enjoy" ur ride on the struggle bus. In the sense that for me wen I'm struggling the most it normally means I'm in hospital pretty poorly. But that means that i get the chance to meet new ppl and build new bonds with other patients and spread awareness of my many conditions,and also learn about other ppls rides on the struggle bus.💜🐶🐾🇬🇧

Your dad is amazing 😅😅😅 I mean y'all all are but that was hilarious!

Definitely can have fun on a struggle bus, laugh along the way, lol! 😆👍🏽 Lol, the dust flying in the air, that would make me sneeze, 😗😩😷

I love you guys!!! ❤❤❤

Hahaha @ the clip of the old school movie dance! I laughed so hard. I rode the struggle bus today. I was very unamused at some of the younger people taking up the seats in the front of the buss while I was struggling with my dang cane! Not one got up! Had the lady not asked if I could fit between her and another older lady I would of gone and told the one girl "Can you please get up seems how you are not pregnant, do not have a can, walker or assist device so I can sit down with my cane? Or is that too much to ask young healthy chicka?" LOL I got some nice art supplies and a bit of makeup I needed. (except for the 3 eyeshadows on sale lol)

Luv realizing there are ppl in this world that truly luv the same thgs I do... I no I'm not Alone. I truly enjoy cleaning... the AWWWW... & RELAXING feeling I get when I'm done is awsome! Ppl thk I'm crazy for enjoying it so much but it's part of who i am(I say OCD about cleaning & organization), Its really a great distraction also when I'm in so much pain, keeps me going. I try creating lots of distractions w/exercise,crafts,redecorating(if possible lol)ECT. Just wanta get the most I can otta my life for myself, but mostly for my 2 young men!😉 (thats another thg I see ppl aren't alone w/also) Thanks u 2! BLESSINGS

Bye mommy and daddy, have a safe trip home.

Lol it looked like snow in the car

Ilove you guys and god bless you ♥♥

My friends and I always used to say we were riding the struggle squid, if you would like a fun variation!

Hey in Minnesota our Christian radio station KTIS does the drive through difference. It is where you pay for the car behind you in the drive through and give them a note about it, it is pretty neat!!

I sure hope that you at least shook out that "new" rug that you bought, and then vacuumed it. It probably should be cleaned...in any case, the dust (which was abundant) that was clearly seen floating about in your car when you were tossing it around could have a dangerously adverse affect on Mary's already compromised lungs. (It's a pretty rug, though!)

Love your parents... Your dad LoL.... Is adorable

my favorite blood sugar treat is those squeezy applesauce packets!

I feel like I am on the struggle bus today. my stoma is being difficult. it makes you appreciate the good days

Love you guy's, alway's making me laugh.....

i hate riding the struggle bus, but, the funny thing is, it's the riding of the actual bus that's the struggle!

The struggle is real! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love you so much

Hecka cool rug!!!

I'm going to watch you guys as much as I can on my cruise but I'll have to check up on your vlogs when I get back to the States. I wish you could come with me. My cruise is next week, Disney Cruise.

I feel like I have a frequent flier’s pass for the Struggle Bus…

Try peanut butter sugar is a quick fix but use long lasting carbs not simple but complex carbs

Garlic extract could help cystic fibrosis patients fight infection. ... The study is the first to show that the chemical -- known as allicin -- could be an effective treatment against a group of infectious bacteria that is highly resistant to most antibiotics.

I want to see the new front door!

I was a passenger on the struggle bus today as well lol

Wanted to see the new front door.!

I try to enjoy as much of life as my body will allow.

Isn't struggle bus something that everybody knows?

Have you tried glucose gel to put on your gums for when you really don’t want to eat something?

Rug looks great, how did you ever get it up there?

The Frey Life honestly i am also with you on THE STRUGGLE BUS as you know i have absence seizure and i alwasy seem to have them in the middle of class and right now as i type i am spacy i had i think 100 absence seizures this past hour. but i am fine. at least i have not drooled yet so that is good.

Mary, how do you keep your throat from hurting so much after having coughing fits all day? I have the flu and part of it is coughing fits and it hurts my throat sooo bad!

Oh wow Mary's dad looks like an older version of Adam from Parenthood

Love dance moves that was funny lol

Mary, you should try Elovate (15) glucose slim pack when your blood sugar is low. I get hypoglycemia a few times a day and struggle with eating orally, but using this is doable for me! You can order it on Amazon :)

New door or attack of the killer beavers!!!????? Yikes!!!! 😂

hello Marry Peter and Ollie boy. I'm wanting to purchase a shirt from your store and was wondering how they run and what size I should get. I think I would wear the same size as you?

Ok question : if your sugars are up and down can your c.f team put you on a small dose of insulin ? I know some patients with c.f diabetes only need that when "sick" like I.vs. but would it help ?

What is your channel's theme song? I love it!

Love ur theme song

Hi Mary my liver and pancreas fight each other and I have to check my blood sugar but I don't need insulin because of my liver and pancreas but I don't like poking my fingers all the time. Hugs from me and my dog Cooper from Canada I always say a prayer for you🙏🏻💕❤️

Hi ! Can you do another grocery haul/ favorite high-calorie recipe edition?

Usually the struggle bus sucks. However, try to get upgraded to first class, it makes for a totally different struggle bus experience!!!!!!!

I wanted to see the new front door....

Where did you find the rug???

My striggle bus has been this Neverending upper respiratory infection

My aunt keeps blood sugar candies in her purse ! Idk if you've tried that yet Mary, but they saved her life when she was on the highway with very very low blood sugar.

We have a ride on the struggle bus a lot! I don't have c.f., but Andrew, my fiance does so we do overcome lots of struggles! Including the ones with our son! Ummm by the way that flavor kool aid is my fav 😂😘😎

😊❤️

Like your dads shirt. great company. Where does he sell the cranes out of? I mean which company does he work for that sell those awesome pieces of machinery.

❤️

If you are using the kool aid pouches they are reduced sugar now ( anyways in Canada they are) so might not be the best choice. If your not in the mood to chug a bunch of liquid I tablespoon of honey held in your mouth for a bit before you swallow will work great especially since you have slow digestion. The honey will absorb through the mucus membrane in your mouth like the zofran you use.
