- It's been a journey. But thankfully, I think we are on the other side...
Thank you for being patient with me while we worked through this, and found the words to share with you all.
A reminder to listen to your body.
Be your own health advocate.
and when something feels off, don't be afraid to get it checked.
To the moms and dads out there with a sick child...
I feel you. the waiting, the unsaid, the unknown... and maybe then the known.
I'm sorry. No kid should ever be sick. No parent should ever have to feel this pain.
And to the health care professionals...
thank you. you are seen... and appreciated... and loved.
and I'm sorry you aren't told this enough.

Jess is a strong woman like her mom. I hope she recovers and is back to her quirky self.

@@barbbarlow7427 That is a bot, just report it and move on. I reported almost 2 dozen on another of the channels I watch yesterday.
@@joannecarr6649 I just saw that the bot commented on my comment as well and I feel icky 🤢 definitely report bots like this
@@marygracehoward9137
I'm so in agreement with this statement. I immediately report this absolute trash as soon as I see it whoever the RUclipsr is.
@@joannecarr6649 How can you tell when its a bot? thx
"Her eyes are bright... she's eating well..." Kind of a reminder that we're more like the creatures we keep than we usually realize. You're a good momma to all of them, Sandi. Hope Jess is fully mended very soon!!
Angels We have Heard on High"- sang it in choir Many Many Times.
As a RN of 31 years, I had to leave the ER…Though I never got covid……it destroyed me…watching people suffocate took its toll. I’m so sad because I love being a nurse and I know I made a difference…I’m so sad that I had to leave the ER…So thank you Sandi for the thanks…it means a lot. Glad your Jess is ok too! And thank you for you channel and ALL you do! God bless!
I'm grateful 🙏for your 31 years of helping folks heal. I'm sorry for the Covid hitting and folks suffering that u had to deal with. God's Blessings for you always for all the years u were there. 😇
@@brendafaithlanelane7914 ..Thank you so much!
Thank you for your service!
As someone living with a nurse in the household, it's a scary thing. They work in a more detached setting thankfully.
We hear this said for cops, military, and emergency service people, but you don't hear that much for nurse and medical professionals (more since COVID started, but still).
Hi Lisa bailey its Maryanne here well done and thank you for your good job I've always wanted to be a nurse myself but because of my long term health conditions that i was born with that dream of being a nurse is out of the window but i did do st johns ambulance cadet and i passed 4 exams there to xxxxxxx 😀😥👩🏽⚕👨🏽⚕💜🩺🩹 i can't swallow solid foods its my food pipe it doesn't work like other people dose so im on a liquid and a mushy type of diet only and my doctors have put me on milkshakes for my weight because im only 8 stone in weight and I've got a hernia all so to and its been courseing me loads of pain to and my heart has stopped 2 times at Eastbourne hospital one minute i was sitting on my bed watching cartoons on the tv and then i went of the bed head first and the 2nd time it happened they told me that they were going to call the time of death on me then i came back i saw my big brother spirit and he me to go back because its not my time yet im a very religious girl myself ❤
Thanks so much for all your hard work, Lisa 🤗
I didn’t catch COVID (🤞) but I broke my wrist and needed surgery in June, 2020 and got shingles in Dec, 2020 and I really appreciated the compassion every health care worker showed me. It wasn’t a fun year for me, so many had it so much worse, but the 100 little (and big!) acts of kindness helped me tremendously. So understandable that folks are burning out, the demand and the need has been overwhelming.
Thank you for everything you do, you make a big difference ❣️🇨🇦
I am 59 and 6 years ago my mom was in her final days of parkinson's. I was tired, emotionally exhausted and not eating. I collapsed and ended up in the hospital, my blood pressure went down to 63/28. My husband called my parents to let them know and my mother got out of bed to come to the hospital. I don't know how she did it, but she said her baby needed her. She hadn't been out of bed in awhile, but mothers and their children, always win. Sadly she died a few weeks later, but the strength she showed, going to the hospital, reminded me of the mom I had before parkinson.
Take care Jessica, you're amazing and come from good people.
God bless your mum.
My son was born with HLHS with Coarctation of Aorta. First heart transplant as an 11 week old baby, second at 14 year old, and kidney transplant at 16 year old. He was doing well as far transplants. He got sick in December 2019 and in January 2020 he got sick on top of it with another illness which started that morning. He coded on me that afternoon in route to hospital. I started CPR. He did not make it. He died on January 19. I miss him everyday.
To all of the donors and donor families, your gift is precious and thoroughly appreciated. I want to Thank all of the donors and donor families for all of the precious second chances at life. Bless you all! To everyone Happy Holiday & Happy New Year!
To have such a weight of grief and still find a way to show gratitude is so moving. This comment was a blessing for me today, ty♡
I wish you and your son the very best and Many Blessings. Sorry for the hurt and sorrow but glad you got to experience the Love to hold on to in those trying times. Again, Many, Many Blessings on you, your son, your family, and friends.
I am sorry to hear about your son’s death. Mine has the same heart defect as yours. I worry about him but so far he has been doing well. I wish your son could have stayed with you longer.
I have a daughter with chronic kidney failure. You truly don’t understand it until you go through it, and I don’t wish it on any parent. I am always grateful that it’s not worse. I know full heartedly that a lot of the other children won’t leave that hospital. I support you and your family. I will be praying for your daughter. Sending you so much love and strength 💜
Shalom..Praise the Lord.
Jesus lives children and us also.
When we pray to Him earnestly, God will look to us with love and cipcompassi.He heals.Amen!😊❤

Sandy, sorry to hear your baby Jess is going through this I can tell you as a parent and now a grandparent that no matter how old they are their always your babies! Sending prayers for the family and tell Jess she's a strong women and she's going pull through just fine, call the counselling at university and get her exams deferred till Jan. I had to do it with my daughter at Waterloo university they'll just ask you for something from hospital. Take care. Sandi from Kitchener Ontario
Be them hoomans or fur babies... they are our world.. sending you the warmest of hugs, love and comfort.. your farm and home life is an inspiration to all.. we reach to you through this media, but you touch our hearts by sharing it all.. we love you for doing just that. Speedy recovery to Jess.. Lx
From the Island of St Helena, SAO UK
Many blessings farmers alwaysxxxx
Wishing you good tidings from Hamilton
Sanra, thank you for being able to let Sandi know who to contact at the UofG re deferring Jess's exams until the new year. What a great community Sandi has. Yours in Gratitude
I almost lost my son when he was 37 yrs old. I still can't talk about it w/o tearing up. I hope everyday Jess gets a little better, and a little stronger.
Sending so many thoughts and prayers to you and your family Sandi. It definitely seems to have been a rollercoaster few weeks, but we're all here to support you! ❤️❤️
Sending prayers to you all and prayers and best wishes for Christmas xxx
Sandi, . Thoughts and prayers go out to you, mark, jack and especially Jess. you have brought us in to you family and we support you 100%. Family comes first and your audience family comes next after the sheep. Jess is strong and she will kick a** on whatever got ahold of her.
Huge prayers and many many hugs for you and your whole family
❤❤❤ love from Bavaria in Germany 🙋🏼♀️ ❣❣❣
Sandi the best thing about social media is that you let so many caring people a look inside your family's lives that it feels like we are all allowed to be part of the sheepishly me extended part of your family. Whenever your upset and feeling stressed always know that your sheepishly me family is a click away and know you can talk to us and get things off your chest because we care about you and will pray for your family.
When I pray for someone in need, I don't need to know what challenges that person is facing. However, God knows and hears our prayers. I feel as I am part of your family. I have been watching your channel for over 2 years recovering from 3 back surgeries. Sandi, you have pulled me through many difficult days as I watch each vlog you share. God bless and Merry Christmas
My kid sister went through Open heart surgery at just 13 years old. Months of doctors appointments and tests and planning I can't imagine what our mom went through during that.
At 13 she's the one that weaned her own self off the morphine and even limited herself with it during her first day. Crazy how tough the good ones are
Sandy, as a nurse for 31 years I have worked in many different parts of the healthcare system, from ER to ICU trauma. I have worked with all ages. It matters not what age a parent is, when it comes to your child it's so darn scary. I have been on both sides, but it's heart wrenching to watch parents go through the powerful emotions when everything feels out of control. We try very hard as nurses and healthcare workers to make that process as bearable as possible. Many times the outcome is great but in my career I have lost many who are someone's child. I have cried my way home more then once. I hug my kids extra hard somedays. I am very happy to hear that Jess is on the mend. Thank you for the kind words about our profession, it's been a very hard time with Covid. But this is why I have Sandy time! My peace and joy I feel like I share with you, your family, and your community. Merry Christmas!
Took the words right out of my mouth! Thank you for all you do and getting up the next day and going back the next day when it seems like there is no light in sight. Hope, faith and love comes in the darkest of times and are the greatest gifts He has given us! ❤ from a physical therapist (even when u love to hate us 😉 )
Thank you for what you do. Sandi is so right that the Healthcare workers many times get so many people who yell or try to hurt them but yet they go to work everyday. Many of us do appreciate you and all of the Healthcare workers.
Bless you Amy for your strength and compassion. Our world is better with selfless people like you.
I work in hospitals as a Sonographer and I get to see up close what nurses deal with, fairly regularly. A good nurse is absolutely priceless and I agree that they don't get enough credit for the unbelievable work they do. They are the leaders of the care team and hold everything together. Each and every dedicated nurse is a blessing to the world!! 💜
Thank you so much for all that you nurses and health workers do! You guys are the underdogs and truly some of the very best heroes. I can remember so many nights being alone and scared in the hospital when my parents needed a break and my nurses were the only people who could comfort me. From taking an extra few moments out of your shift to come say hello or to come back and bring a midnight snack because I missed dinner from being so out of it, to helping with some crazy embarrassing situations lol you nurses are truly heaven sent. I'm quite sickly and have had way too many hospital stays sometimes for months at a time and you guys truly become a friend and someone to laugh with and a shoulder to cry on and someone to express your emotions and feelings with. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do☺️💕
I did part of my training to be a Laboratory Technologist in London at LHSC. I'm so glad that Jess was able to access the care that she required there, and that she got treated by some of the best staff around!
Thank you for the kind words about medical professionals, Sandi. We're out here just doing what we love and trying to give as much compassion as we've got to those in need. The last two years has been really hard for us - our compassion banks are pretty low. But kind words from wonderful people make all the hard days worthwhile.
Thank you and all the health care workers and the support staff. The last two years you have been through some difficult crises, which is still ongoing. As they say, you are on the front lines. You have had to help patients and their families within a bubble to keep everyone safe. So, thank you again. Have a Merry Christmas. 🎄❤☃️
Thank YOU🙏💞
I have seven health care workers on my family. Plus I have had cancer, I would not be here without them.
Hilary, I'm so glad you responded to Sandi's vlog. It's important for everyone to realize that our health care workers need our thoughts and prayers, too! So I, for one, will send up a prayer for everyone in the health care system every morning and every evening. Do remember to take care of yourself. Yours in Gratitude
Where would the world be without people like you? Thank you for all you and your colleagues do, and put up with, on a daily basis. Truly.
I love being part of Sandi Brocks “Ewe-Niverse,” and enjoy reading all the wonderful comments from around the world. The amount of love and support which is shared here is unparalleled in cyberspace! What an amazing neighborhood we share! Thank you for all you do!
“Ewe-Niverse” has got to appear on some merch ❣️ please, please, please, with whipped cream and sprinkles on top 🍨! 🤞
Sandi, you just made allllllllllll my memories come flooding back from when I found out I had a brain tumor. I went to the Dr alone. I drove myself there. I was stoic as can be. I got to the car and broke down. I beat my steering wheel up. I wiped those tears away and drove myself home. On the way, a van full of senior citizens blew a stop sign in front of me and in my haze, I managed to slam on those brakes and stop within an inch. It was at that moment I knew, I was NOT going to die. No matter what. I was NOT going to die. I came very close waiting for surgery. I was told maybe 2 weeks left, but that was 6 years ago. I come from a long line of strong women, and I know, the ones who have passed, were there protecting me. Jess is the same. She WILL live to be a grandmother herself. She comes from a long line of strong women. Now, I gotta go get my angry face on again instead of these tears. For Jess. For you. The mess in the kitchen from last nights cookies that were an epic fail is awaiting me... P.S. God Got ya.
Connie a word of encouragement, my brother in law had a brain tumor...surgeon only able to remove 60%. He is now a 26 year survivor. Blessings to you.
@@jamesbruister37 Thanks "bro". Haha! Mine was 60% removed and I had Gamma Knife radiation on the remainder 2 years ago. Now I help others with their journey. That's how I found RUclips. Mine stopped me dead in my tracks work wise.
“I see you.”
We see you too Sandi ♥️. We see you and your whole family.
We are praying for you, loving you, crying with you, and rejoicing with you every single day, but especially through these last few weeks. I am so relieved to hear of Jess’s recovery, as I’m sure we all are. Much love and millions of prayers from your RUclips family,
Bailey
Most every mom (and so many dads) know exactly what you mean. Your baby is your baby from the moment they come into your heavily, and we would do anything to see them healthy and happy.
Sandi when we don't know what to pray about it's called a special unspoken prayer.
The beauty of prayer is we don't have to know. God knows. Praying for continued healing for Jess.
Big mama just looks how I felt the end of my pregnancies- fat, miserable and over it!!
I lost my daughter almost exactly a year ago. She was only 3 months old so I'm sure the experiences are different but, despite that, for us, our Christmases will be the same. It's all about family this year. I had my son just two weeks ago and spend lots of time watching your channel with him. I hold him oh so tightly now that I know how fragile life can be. Thank you for being a source of calm and peace in our house. I pray for that same peace for yours.
Lord bless you. So glad you will see her in heaven one day!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
💕 God Bless you, snuggle your beautiful son.
You know the heartache we wish on no parent. May you find your angel touching your life's in unexpected ways.
Sending you love hugs and healing energy and peace for your daughter 💖
So sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of peace and love for your family.
Being a mom of two grown men, I can say with absolute certainty that no matter how old they get, it always difficult to deal with the pain, the heartbreaks, and the emotional days! My younger son is dealing with a lot of health issue and he is still searching for solutions. I pray that Jess recovers fully and that she succeed with her studies as well as I pray for my younger son to find the best treatment to help him regain his life of vibrancy. Those lambs are adorable. I love the part where you figured out which ewe the lost lamb belonged. Very observant of you to notice the ewe’s behavior of circling which indicate her thinking, “where has my lamb gone to?” ❤️
One of my blessings is my mother has since passed away and does not have to see me deal with my neuromuscular disorder. She had a daughter Pass away at the age of seven To a congenital heart defect 1962.
Positive thoughts for you and your family through this tough time! Sandi your a rock star for managing your sheep and your jess. You are an amazing woman ❤️I hope you have a warm Christmas with love ones!
Lots of love from Ireland ❤️
That wasn't depressing AT ALL!
Sandi, it was beautiful.
Family is everything and you share that with us.
It's a blessing.
Just like those little lambs you shared with us at the end.
🐑🎄🐑🎄🐑🎄🐑
Well said. We followers share the ups and downs of Sheepishly Me. We love watching the care you have for your sheep and family. We are with you in spirit. Everyone, Have a Happy and Joyous Christmas.
🎄🐑🎄🐏🎄☃️❤
It’s so hard to watch our kids hurt, but not be able to help them. Praying for Jess and the rest of your family.
Praying for Jess! The whole Brock family is in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️
There's nothing that ever prepares a parent for "that call." It doesn't matter how old you are or how old your child is...the protective momma bear comes out.
Jess is a tenacious young woman. Her course of study, her determination and her self-advocacy are signs that she is as strong as she is confident.
Your care, compassion, concern are all like merit badges of motherhood...and are part of the legacy that you have passed on the Jess.
Your strength may waver. You may feel like your knees will buckled under the weight of the emotions that you feel right now. Just know that you have the thoughts and prayers of your local family and friends, yours followers, and your business connections surrounding you, Jess, and your entire family.
To you and yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
P.s. Call her dean and student advisor about the exam, if they doubt Jess or you--just show them this vlog.
Dearest Sandi....Thanks for sharing what you've been going through. We lost our son suddenly in 1995 & there isn't a day we don't ask ourselves "What If". He left a 5 month-old baby boy who just became a father himself. Because of circumstances beyond our control, we are not in contact with him. I loved the end of your vlog as it shows us that life DOES go on. Love Jean from Michigan
Sandi, I commented yesterday telling the story of how I found you when I was in the hospital with my 3 year old with a ruptured appendix and how you and your videos helped me through that week of hell. From one mother the another I see you and your pain and fear and know that your baby and your family are in my prayers.
I really hope that jess feels better. When I was 22 I got diagnosed with a disgermernoma (ovarian cancer) and had to have surgery and chemotherapy. My mum was my rock and I'm sure jess would say the same about you. Sending healing prayers to you all xx
I was the same age when I was diagnosed with the same thing. That was almost 40 years ago, and I've even survived a round of breast cancer in the interim (6 years ago). Sending big hugs to all survivors, and big healing hugs to the entire Brock family from Maine!
@@donnas9599 I'm 35 now, and still have effect from chemo, they said it's a very rare type and I was the first in 8 years in the town I live in. (Torquay England) I'm glad you beat both! Xx
So thankful that Jess lives somewhere where she has access to healthcare and the common sense to go to the Dr. when needed. Wishing her well and you peace of mind.
Just the intro got to me…..🥺😊
when u have children no matter their ages, when they are sick/ill or in pain, you as their mama feel it too & want to take it away ☺️🥰
Sending much love & gentle hugs for Jess & u too Sandi, Mark & Jack 🤍🐑🤍
Two yrs ago in Jan, my mama witnessed me crawling in extreme pain 2 weeks post of having a hysterectomy, 2x hrs later taken via 🚑 to 🏨, I felt for my mama cos I cud tell she was helpless to remove my pains!
Prayers & well wishes from across the big ocean that separates us (am in UK) 💖
Sandi, I am so sorry to hear about what Jess has been through, she has the most loving and caring mum there is, and with the love from all of us video watchers she will be on a full recovery before Christmas. Give her all our love, and Sandi, stay strong.
Sandy, as a nurse and a small farmer the emotions can be similar as I love my animals and hate to see then sick, Hate seeing my kiddos sick, when they were young and now as adult. As a nurse I am thankful I decided to help those who are not feeling well and provide treatment and emotional support. All three jobs,-momma, farmer and nurse are such an honor and emotional roller coaster but thankful God has allowed me to ride along with HIM. (hope this makes sense). You are an amazing women giving back to all of us in the form of food to eat, Farmers are never given enough credit. You are loved as I feel like you are a dear friend and I have learned lots from you in the small animal industry. Prayers continue for Jess as she heals and the whole family. God bless!!
We could use more nurses like you in my area! The people here treat it as a paycheck and don't even do the bare minimum of their jobs, let alone have empathy.... Wish all the awesome nurses here would migrate to where I'm at haha! :)
That’s a scary one, so glad Jess pulled through and she had such loving and awesome support 💛
Had a few scares myself in the last 6 months and had to move back in with my parents at 30 because living alone wasn’t safe for me due to a condition that’s been causing me to be in constant pain/ vertigo and pass out up to 20x weekly. Honestly not sure if I’d be here without their support, I felt so silly asking my mom to come with me when the first bad tests came back and the doctor said we needed to talk. I saw how hard it was for her but she just hugged me and said “I love you, you never stop being a parent, we’ll get through this.” My dad is a little more reserved about his emotions, but drives me to all my appointments and encourages me to keep going. I am eternally grateful for my parents support, I’m sure Jess is too 💛
Still hauling the long road to full diagnosis and recovery, but the most likely cause and surgeries won’t be a cake walk. I cannot put into words how much your videos mean to me because they give me something to look forward to and ground myself with in all the waiting rooms. Keep being the amazingly kind, hardworking, and empathetic human you are!
EDIT: I never expected such an outpouring of support from this comment. Thank you all for your kindness, thoughts and prayers. May you and yours all have a happy and healthy holiday season! 💛
Your comment made me cry, but gave me a good feeling too. You seem like a resilient Person, i wish you all the Best.
Sending hugs and love. Don't forget to keep talking, it helps so much xx
Love and prayers to you.
Prayers out to you
I am praying for you. Life gers hard. I am so glad you have your parents to learn on and that they are there for you. I am glad you recognize the way your Father loves you.
Sending so many prayers.. Jess and you are so strong and she got this.. when I was 21 yrs old I was diagnosed 2nd stage kidney cancer in my only kidney.. my mom was my rock, I was in so much pain and I told I will beat this.. today I'm 32 and 11 yrs cancer free, I still have health problems, but my mom helps me and my amazing husband now helps too...
So, as I dry my eyes and take a shuddering breath, know that I know. As a nurse who struggled with severe health issues all through nursing school, then a Nurse that eventually became a full time patient ( had to retire due to being diagnosed with several genetic disorders and severe endometriosis, to then at one of my weakest points, became A MOTHER TO A SICK CHILD ( he was diagnosed with MY GENETIC DISORDER 😭😭😭-absolutely devastating guilt) watching my 12 year old son be bedridden in constant pain and hardly leave his room for 18 MONTHS, I see you. He’s 20 now and it’s been an excruciating road but he’s able to function more normally now ( not completely normally unfortunately, there is no cure for what we have, nor a real good treatment plan.) When he got sick, a part of my soul just curled up and went dark.To be sick myself was hard but to watch him suffer….knowing his pain acutely….was, is still, almost too much to bare at times. From one mom to another who know this pain, I am crying for you. I hope and pray that Jess recovers fully, and her pain is gone for good. And I am sending so much love to you Sandi, because I know. I know. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read a lot of the comments on each of Sandi’s videos and I have to say yours touched me deeply. I have one child, a daughter, who is now 16. I planned on having 3 children at the very least but my own health tanked more and more each year so I was only blessed with my one precious baby. I can’t even begin to imagine what you have gone through and continue to go through watching your son suffer like you have!!😟 Especially because you know the suffering intimately and know how painful it truly is! That must be pure agony and I’m SOO sorry you guys go through that! I do want to say this though ….I don’t know wether or not you chose to have children while aware of the risk of passing along your diagnoses but even if you did and regret it now, I can promise you that punishing yourself with that guilt and regret and self-loathing and letting it grow and fester will not ever produce positive outcomes! For your spirit OR your son’s! So if you’re feeling in any way guilty for passing this along it’s time to forgive yourself(if that’s what is needed inside of you)and let go of all the “if only’s” and “if I could go back’s”! Give yourself a break for being human(which generally translates as “selfish”), leave your shame/guilt/regret at the foot of the cross, for Jesus is far more capable of handling our negative emotions than we are, and be set free! Free to love your son AND yourself uninhibited by any negative feelings about past choices! I’d be willing to bet your son has said there’s nothing to forgive and has probably even thanked you for giving him life a time or two! So if you ARE harboring feelings of un-forgiveness for yourself it’s ok to let them go now.😮💨😪😌
Maybe this doesn’t apply to you at all; maybe I’m way off base here but I just felt like I was supposed to tell you that. God bless you, Cyndi, and your family!!!
P.S. I lost my own mom when we got in a bad car accident when I was 7 and her name was Cindy(Cynthia) too!✝️💟
@@erinturner6219
Your beautiful heartfelt words to Cynthia (or cindy) made me cry . I lost my son 10 days before his 33rd birthday! In a little over a week it will be 4 years since he passed. He was an amazing son talented at all he did . He had a huge heart and I miss him every single minute of every single day . You're not supposed to lose and bury your child it is supposed to be the other way but signing his death certificate Damm near broke me. His father and I aren't together yet we've talked about him . My ex husband told me he can't stop thinking about him . We both have alot of guilt about did we do the right thing . My ex felt he turned his back on him and regrets it deeply . But our son understood his dad and felt he failed his dad. I wish with all if my heart not to have lost my child he's the 2nd child I've lost the 2nd was a little girl who had neural tube disorder and no one ever explained to me she could be born dead .I was devastated. I remember feeling her struggling and kept begging the doctor to do a c section so she didn't have to fight to be born .39 hours of labor and she passed 6 hours b4 she was born . Not too many people understand what I feel but I pray my son and daughter are together in heaven waiting for me to breathe my last breath !
Sorry for that but I really wanted to thank you for your beautiful words to another mother who definitely seems to carry around guilt that only eats at your soul so God bless you for your kindness to her .
Sandi, I was shedding tears right along with you. I'm sending you and Jess a big hug and loads of prayers and good wishes🤗🤗💗 Thank you for trusting us with your worst days as well as your best days. 💓 Hurray for Carissa, the Lamb Hero!!! 🎉🏅 So glad Mom and baby are together at last. Sheep are smart! They just don't show it all the time. They're bashful😆😂
Would you say that the sheep are....sheepish? 😆
Sandi, you are such a wonderful mom and person. I am an RN working in Ontario hospitals. I had a tough day and yes we deal with all you said and more. Your videos and beautiful smile are what I put on to decompress and take a break. Thank you for these videos and your beautiful babies. I absolutely need these lately. All the best for Jess and her recovery.
I am an RN working in COVID vaccination clinics, in Australia. I come here to decompress as well, I am not sure how I would go without being part of this community, to be honest. Hugs to you, Julie.
Hey Julie - this Retired Unit Clerk just wants to say Thank You to you and ALL your Colleagues, for putting your own health at risk, to care for others. Not to mention the burn out from this Pandemic. Things were tough BEFORE Covid hit, so I can’t imagine how tired and just spent you folks are, and then to have the Nut-Job Anti-Vaxxers showing up at Hospitals and Clinics …good grief. Anyway…take care, and Thanks for all you do for your Community.
Sandi, I know that this is a really tough time right now, which makes me wish that there's a way to reach through the computer & give you a big hug! I am in complete awe of your strength, compassion, & concern for so many people & animals in your life. (even for total strangers, like us, & not wanting to let us down.) I hope you know that you have your own ARMY of people, who care about you & are sending prayers/healing thoughts to you, Jess, & the rest of the Brock family! Not a lot of people can say that they have more than half a MILLION people thinking & praying for them. But, YOU DO, & that's because of your kindness, strength, & GENUINE love for all of the people in your life! You are so loved, Sandi, and so is Jess! Many prayers coming your way from Massachusetts! ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for my novel length comment! 🤦🏼♀️
pinces bella what is wrong with you? Do you have no shame, whatsoever? Reported for offensive content.
@@Beautifully_Broken i think it's a bot, Not a Real Person, that posts those comments. I reported it too. Wish you the best!
@@piraipirai73 thank you! It's been a hectic day, so it being bot spam didn't even cross my mind. I get so irritated when trolls or bots spam a video with serious subject matter. A few years ago, a troll left some horrible & heart breaking comments on a photo slideshow, that I made for my mother in laws wake. I reported them right away & made the video private after that. It's really sad that people have absolutely NOTHING BETTER to do with their life, than to post hate & vulger speech on a memorial/legacy tribute video. 🤦♀️Take care of yourself, and thanks again for letting me know! ❤️
I look sooooo forward to your vlogs every day. I did look at your post on instagram and completely understand your fear. I’m a labor and delivery nurse and have seen that fear in many parents eyes when facing medical issues with their newborn. I have cried with parents going through it all. Hope that Jess is doing better and that the treatment she had takes care of the issue. Reaching through my phone to give you all a big hug 🤗. Also wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Sandy... Watching your child going through anything like this is devastating to a parent.. With not only going through the farming but you have Jess struggling would make any parent stressful and on edge. Blessings and prayers to you Mark Jess N Jack . God bless n. Blessed Christmas and New Year
I just have to tell you Thank You. This is from a retired CT technologist. Drs and nurses always get the praises but, just like a family, it takes a village to care for patients. My heart would always ache so hard for the parents that would have to trust me to care for their child during the scans I did. Children can be of any age and the parents are always overwhelmed. I loved my job but am lucky to be retired.
God bless your family and so glad the healing has began for you😊
Sandi, I want to thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. This is one of a slew of reasons I CHOOSE your channel to watch. You celebrate the good and don't hide the not so good. I love this because this is true life, ebbs and flows. I am grateful for you and your family sharing the REAL life on RUclips. It is refreshing and worth sharing.
When I was first born, no one was aware I was in bad shape. After going home, my mom said I got very sick and about eight days after, I ended up having life saving surgery. The doctor said if they would have waited another day, I would not be here. I have also been in two car incidents that could have been fatal. Also, in 2019 before all the world collapsed, I ended back in hospital in critical.I pulled through three weeks later, just as the toilet paper crisis hit. My main thought was, before hospital I was about out at home and needed some. Life doesn't always go as planned, but it is amazing what we all can go through and survive. It makes one heck of a story one day when you are old in that great rocking chair with the grand or great great grand babies on your lap. God bless and take care to everyone.❤
Prayers.....have been said. Parenting there is no owners manual, yet God is always with us.
You are loved
God Bless you and yours
Thanks Sandi for sharing your sheep and family with us.
Glad you have help during these trying times.
I certainly didn't mind the video delay. You need to take care of family and your sheep first.
Hope things look up from now and into the new year.
Our prayers are with you. I am not a farmer never have been a farmer but I love watching you and your sheep and your Lambs and your family. You make me feel good everyday. Thanks,
Sending my prayers for Jess' complete healing, for your and Mark's hearts and minds, and for Jack as he tries to be the strong support for all of you. Jess has excellent role models and knew how to take charge and take steps to find the cause of the problem.
Thank you for your words of praise for the medical community also. I worked in hospitals as administrative support and saw first-hand how hard these people work to get answers and relief for their patients. Sometimes as patients/family, we forget that they are people too and that they hurt right along with us while they seek the healing we need.
Thank you for sharing your family and your business with us. I know that farming is hard work that benefits the public more than some of us realize. It's not just getting to play with the babies and riding around on a tractor. It's long days, short nights, frustration, and a lot of planning, all in addition to tending to your family and your home. Thank you for all of your hard work!
God knows all needs,we just ask him to be with Jess.As a nurse for 40 years in Operating Room,I never felt unappreciated by my patients and their families, by hospital administration I sometimes felt unappreciated. My daughter is a nurse batting stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer with 3 metastatic lesions in spine.Last scan showed Cancer free ,praise to our Lord and Savior who is seeing her through ,along with her wonderful doctors,and nurses.She will get Chemo rest of her life.Her husband is a nurse ,and so is her brother. God Bless you Jess ,and your precious family.Our babies are our babies till we pass.
Special thoughts and prayers to you and your family. It is difficult at times to have the strength to see you through. This community of followers is so caring. Have a Happy Christmas to you and your family. 🎄❤🎄
Thanks,and God Bless you and your family.All prayers are appreciated.
As beef cattle and hay farmers daughter, never thought i would be so invested in sheep. Cute critters. Your videos are awesome. Your family is awesome. Blessings and prayers for health for you and yours.
When I was 22 I watched my momma go through watching me battle a blood disorder. The amount of strength that Moms have is so amazing. I will keep you guys in my prayers, and honestly good job for raising such a strong woman.
I just found out today my bladder cancer returned after 7 years cancer free. I totally get as a parent how hard it is to watch your baby girl as I just watched my mom go through breast cancer surgery just yesterday. Am I scared sure but I have Sandi time to make me laugh, cry, ugly cry, and feel so much love it is my safe space!
Sandi, I'm so sorry to hear about how much pain and discomfort Jess was in. I'm glad that she's on the road to recovery now. I'm sending positive and healing thoughts to you and your family ❤️
Absolutely amazing how we can pull ourselves together in front of our kids. I remember the time we thought my son would not walk again, and how I kept it together in front of him. How did I do it? God himself only knows. It's good that you were able to break down and cry while Mark kept was driving. I hope Mark has a chance to let down as well - just because things are looking better, doesn't mean you're still not feeling all the feels. Feel them, thank God for the miracles that our children are, and hug your babies. I will hug mine in honor of Jess. xoxo
I love you and your family so much! Big hugs!! When I was 17 my family had a similar experience. I went in for abdominal pain. After many tests and finally an ultrasound they called me to come in the day they reviewed all the results. Emergency surgery scheduled the next morning to remove the tumor. I experienced a lot of physical pain over the course of a week but my emotional state was very detached.
Now that I am a mother myself, I look back on the 2 weeks full of testing leading up to my surgery and the aftermath. All I can remember is the terror and pure exhaustion written all over my mom’s face. She tried to hide it, of course, but I can only imagine the emotions that ripped through her.
My heart aches for you as a mother and experiencing that helplessness of not being able to protect your baby from everything possible. Remember that our babies are stronger than we will ever know. We taught them how to do that, momma. My body remembers the pain and I hope that it passes quickly for Jess as well. It will be a distant memory in no time. Take care of yourselves.
Love from Ohio🥰
Sandi, speaking as a retired healthcare professional, I agree with what you’ve said. Sometimes it is the most frustrating thing not knowing what is going on and as a result having limited options as to what the best course of action to take. Emotionally, your clinical judgement is affected and one needs to put emotions aside to calmly, rationally think through the situation and direct appropriate actions towards a good outcome.
Good to hear Jess is doing better. Make sure she is taking her medications properly and, if any unusual occurs, talk to your community pharmacist about the situation with a mutually respectful dialog. They will be able to offer suggestions as how to deal with issues. Pharmacists are a good resource when used well along with other members of the health care team.
On the sheep front, I see a lot of things happening, mostly good. Sandi, I would prescribe daily quality time with your sheep, lambs especially. If Jess is feeling better and there are no contraindications, have her feed some of the bottle babies while you and Carissa do other chores. Merry Sheepmas!
Been waiting all day for this. We love and support you and your family so much Sandi, just like you support us through our lives without even knowing it. All my love to sweet jess xxx
There is nothing more courageous strong protective and passionate then a mother
Oh Sandi! We just went through something similar with our daughter. You are right, Doctors and nurses especially are amazing people. I see you. I understand how hard it is to watch your babies be in pain and feel helpless because you can't fix it. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing. Hugs, prayers and love sent! ❤
I totally understand what you’re going through. Ten days after my great-grandson turned a year old he was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma (cancer). His parents kept telling the doctor that there was something wrong with him. His eyes were black and blue as if he was beaten up. The doctor blew it off as if it was nothing to worry about. Another doctor ran tests and the cancer was diagnosed. He turned 2 last August and is cancer free!! Thank You Lord!! He’s had 2 scans since then and is still cancer free!! He’s dealing with some PTSD because of all he went through but the specialist he is seeing thinks that he’ll overcome it because of being so young. Praying for your daughter and your family. God Bless.
My daughter was 16 and diagnosed with medulloblastoma tumor on December 15th 2015. It’s the hardest thing to go through especially when your child is saying their head hurts and the nurses and doctors said she needed to drink more water! She’s always been healthy and I kept going from one doctor to the next until I finally got help. I’m so glad your great-grandson is ok. My prayers will stay with you for him to remain healthy.
Hi Sandy, you probably won't see this as u have so many comments! I'm a mum in New Zealand, and watching this my heart went out to you.
My girl is 23, and it never changes, they are still your babies, my girl will ring me when she's sick, she's at university and I'll be there as soon as I can with what ever it is she needs at the time. I think I'll find it hard when she marries, but I'm the same, she's my baby till the end no matter what. It's what makes you so good with these ewe's and there babies.
Stay real, love watching what you do, your a amazing women!
Big ((HUG)) from a Mom to another Mom. And yes, no matter their age they are still OUR babies always. I hope you get the best outcome for your Jess.
It will never matter how old your kids are. It’s will always be horrendous when they are sick or injured. My two are all grown up and apparently I still “fuss” too much and as a nurse I can really fuss!
I’m crying with you. We fall apart until we are with the kids then you hide it until you are alone again. Not depressing because Jess is feeling better, get well soon Jess 👍
I totally understand that. I’m a pediatric nurse and my son-now 27-said I did fuss a lot.
Got ya girls. Retired NICU nurse here. I have two grown girls and still fuss and fret whenever trouble is brewing! Mom's and nurses are special people. Merry Xmas all!
I’m so sorry about your daughter. I cried a bit “with you” when you cried on your vlog. I’m a younger mom, but I can’t imagine what you have gone through. You guys are so tough. I am so happy to hear that she is on the mend and I will pray for you guys to keeping chugging along and that things will be a bit smoother for a while. Love you guys lots! 🙏🏻❤️
Me too. I cried with u too. love you 💓 hang in there God is with u always ❤.
Totally shedding tears with you lady!! 😢 Your kindness and love for your children and family truly touched my heart ❤ Continued prayers for Jess, a speedy recovery and back to health 🙏
Sandy I literally just went through the same type of scare, worry and then breathing again. My worst and best were 8 days apart. So I see and feel for all of you. It affects the whole family when someone we love is sick. And it's always great to be able to walk away saying, that was close, but here we are. Sending love and prayers from Indiana U.S.A ⛄🤍🎄
I get where Jess is coming from. I had emergency or fairly urgent surgery three times as a teen, and the third one was exploratory because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me or why I was in pain. The pain gets to a point where you just kind of go “I don’t care what they do to me; I don’t care how many needles they poke me with; I just need this pain to stop.” But having your mom or dad there is really nice. Having somebody to bring you toast or a heating pad or your pain meds when you just can’t drag yourself out of bed after surgery is very nice. And having someone to sit with you and hold your hand before you go back for surgery and you’re feeling so nervous is also really nice. I can’t imagine what my mom went through during all of that. The multiple ER trips, doctors’ visits, sitting in a hospital waiting room. But I’m glad she was there and I’m sure Jess is glad you and Mark were there too.
Bless you xx
We love Jess…and all of you!! I feel as if it is a privilege to pray and to even be asked to pray. To those of us that believe in prayer there is no greater privilege!! So thankful that Jess is improving but continued prayers for healing, for comfort for all of you and for her doctors and caregivers to continue to give you the hope and answers you need. Love to you all… ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Prayers for healing for Jess...it's Thursday and my 32 yr old son just had a horrible seizure and fell back and hit his head on the counter... I managed to move his head away from hitting anything else and he has recovered but it's hard to see our babies (no matter what age) be in pain and illness...😢 God bless you all 💗
The power of prayer and supporting one another is the ultimate gift we can give to one another. Wishing Jess a speedy recovery, Sandi us Mamas got your back. Hats off to the medical staff especially during the last two years. Hooray to the surgeons, GP's, nurses, technicians, anesthesiologists, OT, PT and rehabilitation staff!!
I’m so glad that Jess is recovering at home with family. As the “sick kid” in the family, I know it was tough on my mom. Jess is in my prayer for a speedy recovery and that she doesn’t get sick again. So much love. Bring her home a lamb to cuddle with! :) (kidding of course.)
Unless it helps!
No words, I'm just glad everything is on the upside! I just left my job of 8 years in the gift shop of a hospital, and I made a lot of friends with staff, got to be involved in helping nurses surprise patients who were alone with birthday, I even handmade a bouquet from what flowers we had for a wedding of a hospice patient. Not nearly enough people have the recognition for the healthcare workers, that you do, so thank you for that. The amount of hours and heartbreak they go through on the daily.. I can't do it, thier conviction is much stronger than mine. They are also much better at understanding that fear and worry manifests in many ways, and sometimes staff is caught in the crossfire, where as I would beat myself up over it, if I was in thier shoes. Blessings from Northern Indiana, looking forward to the next update.
I’m a paediatric nurse and I’m always in tears after dealing with children in severe pain and I’m in tears listening to Jess’s story. I have 5 young grandchildren and my own children are still my babies so my heart goes out to you and Mark. I hope Jess recovers well and gets the exam results she deserves. Thank you for your appreciation of nurses and doctors nd thank you for all you tach me about lambing and sheep xxx
I'm glad Jess is doing better now. I'm so sorry she's going through so much. The hardest thing is seeing them in pain and not being able to do anything about it. We are thinking of you and your family. My husband and I love your videos and look forward to seeing your vlogs. I just subscribed to Jess's channel and Marc's channel. Thank you for all that you share with us.
Seeing the babies and their sweet little faces seem to take the edge off of the seriousness of things
Praise the Lord! I'm so happy to hear that Jess is recovering well. My daughter just turned 38 and she is still my baby. You got the best
Christmas gift, ever. xoxo
My heart goes out to you Sandi, Jess, Mark and Jack. Sending you a sincere hug. ❤️.
Those pockets of peace in the middle of the storm are literally a godsend.
❤️
I just love how you talk to them. They are all your babies. They way you treat them is truly inspiring. They are not just an income, you really care about each and every one.
Oh Jess, you will beat this, am sending many prayers, hugs and praying for speedy recover! You are strong, and full of life!❤
I absolutely think everything will be okay .. seeing those two birds flying into the window when you were speaking of your baby.. definitely a sign!!! LoveAlwaysHopes! You have real faith God is with your family!
Oh Sandi I know how you are feeling. No matter how old they are, they are still our babies. It hurts us when they hurt and we can’t take it away. And the unknown is terrifying. I’m glad she is doing better. Thank you opening up to us. I’m sure it takes a load off your shoulders not to carry that around. We all love Jess! I love her attitude as it’s a great combination of her parents!!! Take care❤️❤️❤️ remember we all love you!!
I feel your pain Sandi.
I lost my baby at 2 1/2 months due to heart issues. Its very hard to deal but just try to hang in there sweetie. Praying for everyone. Love y'all.
🕊♥️
So sorry you all are going through this many many prayers, I lost my daughter at age 39 due to stage 4 cervical cancer Sept 27 2020 she was my baby I have a son that is 43 I felt everything you went through are going through.

Bless all of your hearts. Continued prayers for speedy recovery and healing. Glad to hear Jess is starting to feel better. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Oh Sandy you are so strong, I watched my oldest daughter get signed up for Hospice today. It has been a 14 year fight with breast/bone cancer. It has been hell but you know the saying God never gives you more than you can handle. So glad your daughter is doing well and prayers for you all for a bright healthy future.
Prayers for you and your sweet daughter.
Hugs
I am incredably sorry. Father God, please give this child of yours peace as she goes through another chapter of her life. Lord, I also pray for her family that they could crawl up in Your lap and just be there.
Dora, I'm praying for you, your daughter, your family. May God continue providing his strength and peace for all of you.
Dear Sandi, I cried listening to poor Jess's story, and glad to hear she on the mend. I'm 58y/o and have a 28y/o son with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis CFS and has become very server where he is bed-bound since Feb. My hubby and I take turns with his daily care. There are days he is so severe and sensitive to light and sound, I can only whisper softly questions he can nod yes or no. And yes it doesn't matter how old your child is....I cry a lot to. I found you right after my son became bed-bound , what a blessing you have may in my life! I am also horse crazy and take care of a small farm, I love to see the farm side with the big machinery in action too. I start my day at 5am to feed horses and get home for my son's needs, my favorite part of the day is to watch your vlog with a cup of coffee . Your honesty and hard work for your sheep and family is what draws us to watch your channel. Stay strong and Merry Christmas.
I always love when your kids make an appearance on your vlog. Get well soon Jess!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I hope jess fells better soon❤❤
Sitting beside our kids in hospital watching them in pain is so excruciatingly hard. I have 3 kids, all have chronic medical conditions. I have handed them into the care of surgeons 53 times, with another booked within the next 2 months. I have spent weeks at a time sitting and sleeping beside them in hospital.
No matter how old they a re, they will always be your baby. My eldest is 20yo and had her first baby 2 weeks ago, i spent 2 nights in hospital with her and grandson helping care for them.
I pray Jess fully recovers and you get the news from surgeons that everything is ok. You are an amazing mum Sandi
Awww poor Jess. Really hope she recovers quickly, she is such a sweet girl. Prayers for Jess xx
Thoughts and Prayers to Jess, and especially you, your both extremely strong women and can get thru anything!!!! ♥️🌹♥️
Healing ❤️🩹 Prayers to Jess and blessings to you all. There is nothing worse than that feeling of helplessness when it comes to a mothers baby being sick or hurt….
so glad Jess is doing better and send loads of love & prayers that continues! My daughter is 35 and dealing with an unexpected life changing health issue so i understand your pain completely as a mom. it doesn't matter what their age they will always be our babies. i honestly cried with you today as i feel your situation so much. I feel bad you are in the middle of vlogsmas and dealing with so much BUT i thank you for always showing up as you have truly helped me through some rough days and it is appreciated .... you are appreciated. thank you for all you do and showing me a new and interesting life style completely different from my own. i love zoning out on the world and learning more of your world. take care and Merry Christmas as you now have plenty to celebrate! your baby is doing better, your boys are awesome, Carissa is coming through for you and all your Lambie's offer loves and cuddles! take care, Jackie from Bermuda
So glad to hear that Jess is doing well. It is always difficult when your babies are sick no matter how old they are. I have 3 grown children and I hurt for them anytime they are dealing with something challenging,whether it be health or otherwise. ❤️ Prayers for continued healing and recovery. Love your family and am an avid follower! 😘
My husband spent 20 days in the hospital in ICU with pneumonia. The first 5 days were touch and go. I thank God every day for the nurses who were there for him during the dark days. Due to Covid protocols, I wasn't even allowed in the hospital to see him through the glass doors. The nurses were literal lifesavers as he was ready to leave AMA to come home to die. They talked him down and convinced him he was only going home to live. Nurses are so very underappreciated.
Get well soon Jess x
The strength you have shown, is the exact strength your Jess has within that beautiful body that houses her everlasting soul. I can't imagine how Jess could find her feet without you, Mark and Jack. Sending prayers of healing, stay strong and celebrate!
Oh you poor sweet lady, I know that fear and heartach. The fact that you carried on with a smile, still sharing your life with us through this painful journey shines a light on your beautiful spirit. God bless you and your family and have a merry Christmas 💗
Keeping your family in prayers. I could see you were stressed and my heart went out to you!!
I always say that we don't need details because God knows all about it.
So much love and my prayers will continue. Love ~Pam
I'm so glad that Jess is ok. My son has been struggling with a progressive condition since we found it at 8 months old.. He's 8 YEARS old now, and had to deal with two major spinal surgeries this past summer. You just want to take all their pain from them, and it is frustrating that you can't.
Prayers for you and your little man momma. I've been there. It's so hard to see our babies go through something like that or any illness and we can't do anything about it. My heart is with you!!
@@pj89-96 Thank you.. He's doing well. His surgeries literally doubled his lifespan potential. What was 40 with cardiopulmonary problems starting at 20 is now a normal lifespan with no extra chances of heart or lung issues. I'm so grateful for all the help he's been given by the amazing staff at the hospital we went to. Worth driving 7 hours for!
This is the exact date I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I found your videos in the middle of my treatment. I have made it a goal to watch from the start. I watched Jess go through treatment this past summer. Your channel has been the world to me. Jess is amazing and so are you!❤
Sending healing energy for Jess and all of you. Having nearly lost two of my children, I do understand. The fear envelopes you and is unrelenting. Prayers for all of you are ongoing. Take care Sandi, Jess is going to be okay.
