A couple days ago I was experiencing crippling anxiety before going out to do something. It got so bad that I started dry heaving 5 minutes before I had to leave. Rather than giving up, I thought of you Mary, and started chanting "do what you think you can't do" to myself. Then I found the strength to get out the door and continue on with my plans. Thank you for being inspiring
letusimagine7 So inspiring! I am glad that you were able to push through your anxiety! I am a severe anxiety sufferer as well, and I also find so much strength in her words
letusimagine7 I had the same experience yesterday!!! I was ready to just call it quits and not go out for the day but then I just kept saying " do what you think you can't do" and went out and had such a wonderful day!
letusimagine7 Oh Lord, I had crippling anxiety like that (with nausea) many years ago. A really hot shower used to help tremendously!!! Blessings to you!
Unfortunately I always experience nasty anxiety and panic attacks when I see the tiniest speck of blood. Usually I end up fainting and waking up with nausea afterward. Well, on Friday my husband had to have cleft palate related nose surgery, and on the way back home in the taxi I saw a wee little bit of blood on his mouth cover, and I fainted, I was limp as a noodle and white like a sheet. It's exhausting and it really impacts my self-esteem.
Alex Ștefan I didn't say mary wasn't I was pointing out something great in Peter I feel like he doesn't get enough credit I think they are both equally strong
Amanda Lewis Obviously, but all I see is comments about how pretty Mary is and while that's true, I feel like something other than that transpires when she's getting filmed battling a migrane.
Alex Ștefan I wasn't just saying she was pretty I feel like when someone says your pretty although it is nice to hear I feel people are talking about what is on the outside but when I said she is beautiful I meant inside and out her and Peter are such wonderful people
Oh, that headache looked like it was excruciating. Thanks for helping all of us with chronic pain "do what we think we can't do" through your example. I love how supportive you are of each other.
You guys are so sweet together. Not only is Mary just absolutely stunning and sweet, Peter is so supportive and sweet. You two show real life and not hiding how sometimes life just sucks, and sometimes it's perfect. Praying for you guys every day!
I am so sorry you are in such pain. It pulls on my heart. I pray to God your headache goes away soon. God bless you honey! I hope you both have a good time in Maryland.
Mary to stop the tube kinking I recommend using a wooden popsicle stick and taping it around the tube. You can break it as small as you want and It acts as a splint to keep everything nice and straight. My nutrition team recommended to me and it so simple but very effective!
I'm going to start watching your channel & listening to your sermons Pastor Peter. My husband, David has numerous health complications, he suffers from head throbbing migraines every day & excruciating chronic pain which has often led him to the ER. Your marriage IN Christ really refreshes me. I'm so encouraged by witnessing both of your guys love not only for each other, but for GOD, even as Mary's body suffers & you see her in daily pain. I thank God for you both & will pray w/ you to remain hopeful, encouraged, rooted, & grounded in Him. Love you both.
Mary, I'm glad your headache improved! Traveling mercies and prayers with you for a beautiful trip to Maryland! "Yesterday yesterday".....I love that, and I'm totally using it now.....thanks for the Mary-ism! Cheering on from Chicago!!
Thank you for the pep talk in the end Mary! I spent the night crying judging myself about where I am compared to others in my life. But I need to learn to celebrate the little victories everyday, even if it's just making a potato
Megan Yes, girl! Celebrate those little victories! Just because they are a little different from "normal" people victories doesn't make them any less important 💁🏻
I'm sure you've tried everthing under the sun, but when I have a headache that has a headache (extreme pain) I finally remember that ICE is my go-to pain reliever. I'm not sure that an ice pack on my head numbs my brain so that the pain dulls, or distracts me enough so that I fall asleep, or is there magic sneaking around the house. Don't care- I get relief. It might help you too. Love to you both. 👵🏻😘
Just found your channel. My dad was on twenty four hour day oxygen with a lungCondition. I used to give him physio during the day. Mary many of my dads friends had CF! You are an inspiration to us all! My prayers and much love is sent to you and your lovely husband. Much love Leisa xxxx
Sending lots of prayers. When I have a major headache I tell myself "I am looking forward to feeling better in 30 minutes." and in 30 minutes I do feel better. Power of positive thinking.
Oh Mary, this is so heartbreaking. Please stay strong, I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your trip. Lots of compliments for Peter, he is standing beside you like a trooper! 💜
I definitely missed awhile of videos with my stomach/eating problems, but I was so happy to get notified about this video today. I know there can be a lot of downs with med issues but watching this video made me smile today.
Pulling for you Mary! You got lots of support from us in the Frey Life Family and Peter. You got this girl! Conquer and "do what you think you can't do." Thanks to you Mary I say this when I feel I can't walk any further. It works.BTW Olli is so so cuuuuute!!!
I'm watching this as I go through the worst migraine that I've experienced all year and that hadn't gone down in three whole days. But weirdly, watching Mary and the way she manages to fight through the pain, it makes my own pain a little more bearable. Bless Peter for being such an amazing support system for Mary, and bless my boyfriend for staying with me while I cry for hours on end. People don't usually realize how much their support means for someone else, and how their presence sometimes is enough to give us the strength to push through shit.
I just came across your channel and am officially hooked. You are ssuch an incredibly strong woman and your husband is amazing. My mom passed away 5 years ago from pulmonary fibrosis. She wasnt supposed to survive 5 years after being diagnosed and she blessed us with 20 plus years. It definitely wasnt an easy journey, but your strength reminds me of her. (Before anyone thinks anything, mom didnt smoke a day in her life. Yet another lung disease that can develop minus those nasty cancer sticks.) I dont know why she never got a lung transplant. I was too young to know about that stuff when it would have happened. Youre an inspiration Mary! Thank you for sharing your story!
Mary this is years later, 2022 and I just need to tell you just how strong you are even when you are not feeling good you are stronger than you think.. Its good to cry it out sometimes.. Im sorry you have to fight this fight but its a fight worth fighting because you now have a beautiful little baby to fight for, it wont take away YOUR physical pain and suffering but it is a highlight.. Keep fighting momma!
I love your tip for accomplishing a task when you have a hard day. I had a hard day a week ago after fainting and hitting my head. It's tough getting through a day when you have a really bad headache. I hope you got a good night's sleep, and do not have a headache tomorrow!
Mary- I know that position at the beginning of the video all to well. when I have a bad migraine, I push my head into a pillow upside down. The pressure feels good.
I hate that you are going through so much pain. I love how you don't allow your health to make you a victim to it. Though you have hard days, you approach them from a stance of victory and that's truly beautiful to me. You two are amazing lights for Jesus! I hope and pray that tomorrow is better day for you! You Rock!
I found mary when she was describing the Service Dog Vests. I have had chronic pain to my LB for 18 years. My love takes over the Chores when I can't. We always go to church my Uncle Started. It is extra special and his spirit is still there. God Bless you two for showing us your day to day struggles open and honestly, SD, CF. and your love.
U guys & the $13 deals! (Thinking of the hotel u stayed at the first night of your married lives together.) Good job. Sad to see Mary in so much pain. Happy to seeing how much u two support one another. I have disabling chronic pain & fatigue ( fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial pain, TMJ, etc.), chronic headaches & migraines( In at least 17 years, I've had 1 day of no headache.). I also have a partner who helps take care of me & sacrifices himself for me in many ways. Pain sucks & doing what u think u can't is part & parcel of life w/ life- altering chronic illness. Mary, thank u for bravely showing yourself the scared, vulnerable side of this life yet again. Peter, thank u for showing what life is like ( sometimes scary) for a loving, giving caregiver. Sorry if this sounds jumbled but I had a bad night. Sending u two hugs & spoons. Take care of u!
Thank you for continuing to vlog even on your rough days, I look forward to it every day, especially on my hard day's because it's a small slice of happiness every day..
Im in uk and suffer from psoratic arthritis which is painful tiring, the psoratis makes me feel bad as skin falls off n bleeds along wiv asthma, low iron, underactive thyriod im 37 but watching ur vloggs help me push through the pain n sleepiness thank u x i do what i think i cant do if i get done anything its good xx
Hi to the both of you. I hope your feeling okay today Mary. Just wanted to say how much of a role model you have been. I suffer with chronic pain. And the way you keep smiling helps me each and every day. So thankyou. Ps this is my first message even though I've watched for a long long time. Hugs xx
Mary I'm so sorry you were having such a rough go at it yesterday! You are an amazing source of strength and bravery! I learn so much from y'alls videos! This video was filmed on my birthday (6.24) and I got engaged today (6.25)! I am 36 and have waited SO patiently for this!
Angela Nash Congrats💍! My 37th wedding anniversary is this August. Enjoy your engagement and remember, its all about the marriage and not the wedding. A wedding is easy, marriage is work, one day at a time. Make plans, set goals for your life together but be flexible. We've been through it all (births, deaths, bankruptcy, near-homelessness) and although my husband drives me to distraction some days and I want to bang my head against the wall, I'm in it for the long haul. Best wishes from sunny Southern California 🌴
szqsk8 Thank you for your kind advice and congratulations on 37 years of marriage!! Thankfully in all the years of waiting I have come to the conclusion that I just want a home spun family wedding at my aunts lake house. Simple but pretty and a hell of a celebration! Ps you're the first person I've discussed wedding plans with!! Squeeeeeee!!!!
Mary saying "not even just if you are sick but if you are a mom with a list of things to do and you didn't quite get all those things done, it's still a victory" thank you!! A young mom to a 7 month old needs encouragement sometimes too haha
You guys are such a cute couple. Usually its a bit harder to see in men but Peter clearly look like he knows he is a loved man. I myself is a cluster head and know headaches. I also work as a full time veterinarian and researcher. Whenever I feel exhausted after a night of multiple headache attacks i think of how Mary soldiers on and how my headache is not dangerous or progressive or limiting my life more than the exhaustion. You're a huge inspiration.
My empathy goes out to anyone dealing with multiple headache types or who can't figure out what type of headache they're experiencing. It still amazes me how draining head pain can be.
Mary I tried not to cry. You made me cry. I absolutely love you two considering you won’t see this, I admire you so much. “We’re going on a trip, in our favorite potato chip”.
New to your channel, love it !!!!! Just watched the one y'all talking about the rock, we have a German shepherd dog named Petra, and in the Bible means strong and it fits her perfectly, she is all of our rock in the family. She is the sweetest baby ever. You guys are awesome and it brings a delight to us. You guys have such a down to earth personality it is great to watch, I watch peters church sermons, thank you both for all you both do!!!!!
I know you're probably sick of people giving you suggestions, but I used to get chronic headaches and insane light sensitivity, then I had my Daith pierced and the migraines have completely stopped and headaches are minimal. It also helped my light sensitivity too. It's changed my life so much I just wanted to recommend it if it could help in any way. I hope you're more comfortable soon. X
The Vlogging Murrays I have a rook which is very very similar to a daith. The cartilage is really thick in that area, so it can take a little bit longer to push the needle through. It burns for a few days. It will hurt for several weeks whenever something touches it, but it's very tolerable. I've had mine for about a year, and it gets irritated every once in a while, becoming inflamed and painful, but it's not bad. (I also have slow healing from my chronic illnesses.)
I got both of my daiths pierced after years of chronic headaches and migraines (2 days no pain 3-8 days of pain rinse and repeat) and I'm down to maybe 3 headaches a month and they're easy to manage. I highly recommend it
Stay strong and keep the message going through your actions, we can cope, survive, and go another day.TY! As someone who suffers from depression, anxiety, I gain strength from watching you, may God keep blessing you and your sweet husband! :) As small as a mustard seed or potato ,we can persevere!
Blown away by the beauty of Mary, Peter and Ollie. Their spirits shine through. Mary remains beautiful despite everything she endures. Blessed with a natural beauty.
I watch you guys for some time now and never comment, I was compelled to pray for Mary today and you will remain in my prayers love u guys luv the channel
So sorry you were in such pain Mary! I'm actually watching this video while in bed with a headache; you make me feel less alone:) I think one of the reasons I love your vlogs so much is that you show REAL life. You find beauty in the little things. I'm having a bum day with no riveting things happening, but you've taught me that that's ok!
Mary you are an amazing person and I hope that you feel better soon. You guys are so positive and you make my problems and stress seam like nothing. You are so strong and you make the world a better place. Thanks for being awesome! 💕
Whenever I watch your vlogs I am constantly reminded of Impermanence, each day is a new day, each Monet, each breath. The only certainty any of us has is the certainty that things will change.. nothing lasts forever, not the good, not the bad. "This being human is a guest house". Rumi. We have to welcome all who visit. You and Peter are the epitome of that kind of life. You remind me everyday to be here now! So thank you!
I know it was last year.... But, I and my little family live in southern PA.... The closeness. Praise him! For you two.... You keep me away from the darkness. I have a lot of mental /physical illnesses that are forever. But, I've tried to kill myself 26 times and others have tried to kill me. Like family. But, enough of that.... I truly love you guys. God bless
Well Mary, to a fellow sickie, my name is Mary too. It is really hard to have something that will never go away. I have been having a really tough time lately and tripping into your channel, this video made me feel a little lighter. I have been sick my whole life, or at least as lost as I can remember. My disease is digestive and it leads to other illnesses, which I am sure you can relate. Just glad to have, 'met' you and look forward to seeing more of what you've got to share! Thanks=)
I've suffered with migraines since I was a child and my best advice for head aches is ice packs and tying them on your head. And if you can have caffeine a cup of coffee or tea is supper helpful. Hope you get a good night sleep tonight.
So i'm having quite a bit of abdominal pain but I just started watching you and even though Marry isn't feeling well, you two are always so positive that it makes me feel so much better! Thank you very much for that and feel better soon!
Seeing other comments it seems like it was a migraine day for many. I woke up with one today as well. No fun at all. Hydrating, rub pressure points including roof of your mouth, the cold rag on the head, lavender essential oil, no lights or sounds, my mouth guard retainer thing that keeps me from clamping down my jaw, and changing positions. Today standing up was so much better than sitting or lying down. Whatever works, I know it is much better to be home than on the road. We had to go out of town for our son the last time I got one that I had to go to the ER to get fluids and emergency meds. We had already checked out of the hotel but ended up checking back in after the ER because getting on the road was a scary prospect. All that to say, stick to well populated areas and print out a copy of your medicines and medical history to hand off in an emergency on your trip!
I'm sorry you had such a hard day yesterday. Excruciating describes my Saturday quite well, also. Thanks for your inspiration encouragement. Do what you think you can't do
Mary I pray God gives you strength. Peter I pray God gives you strength. Peter I cant even imagine how you feel,to see someone you love in pain like she has....... you are always are so supportive. You are an awesome person. God bless you both.
I hope and pray you feel better soon Mary! Peter you are such an amazing loving supportive husband to Mary. You guys are such an amazing couple. You guys are meant to be that's for sure. Hugs
You are the sweetest couple. It is amazing how you work together. Chronic illness is very hard on everyone involved. My husband and I both have chronic pain and illness' and some days it is just really hard to get anything done.
aww Mary. i have chronic migraine so i feel for you on so many levels. some days im soo sick to my tummy during an episode that i can only resort to peppermint oil for some numbing power.
Doesn't matter what you name your vlogs, I'm sure your fans will still watch - i know I sure will. Enjoy your trip guys. I'm praying that your head gets better Mary, I'm so sorry that you go through those coughing episodes, :( - I think you ought to hold your head when it happens, might help. Well guys, take care now and keep up the good fight and happy road trip. :)
There is a pressure point at the top of your head and if you press it it can relieve pain! I get migraines and I push my head down like that all the time! Fingers crossed you feel better soon Mary xx

sweetcanada17 Are you sure your blood sugar isn't low?
can we all just take a minute to tell mary how beautiful mary is inside and out. and also how strong and handsome Peter is.
Amanda Lewis I think Mary is equally if not even stronger than Peter. How she's handling things is amazing. She's amazing.
Alex Ștefan I didn't say mary wasn't I was pointing out something great in Peter I feel like he doesn't get enough credit I think they are both equally strong
Amanda Lewis Obviously, but all I see is comments about how pretty Mary is and while that's true, I feel like something other than that transpires when she's getting filmed battling a migrane.
Alex Ștefan I wasn't just saying she was pretty I feel like when someone says your pretty although it is nice to hear I feel people are talking about what is on the outside but when I said she is beautiful I meant inside and out her and Peter are such wonderful people
Amanda Lewis Goodness I made my comment before reading yours! Same.
Oh, that headache looked like it was excruciating. Thanks for helping all of us with chronic pain "do what we think we can't do" through your example. I love how supportive you are of each other.
"We're going on a trip..."
"in our favorite rocket ship..."
"in our car." 😂
Sweet Mary, you broke my heart. Prayers for you.
You guys are so sweet together. Not only is Mary just absolutely stunning and sweet, Peter is so supportive and sweet. You two show real life and not hiding how sometimes life just sucks, and sometimes it's perfect. Praying for you guys every day!
Ollie is so, so precious! Praying for you Mary 🌼
Mary is so strong and such an inspiration. Push through your pain, we are here to support you
Lots of hugs from this chronic pain suffering girl. Feel better Mary. Do what you think you can't do.
I am so sorry you are in such pain. It pulls on my heart. I pray to God your headache goes away soon. God bless you honey! I hope you both have a good time in Maryland.
"Count potatoes as victories." I love it! 🥔🥔🥔 It really is the small things that can pull us through a rough spot. Hugs and prayers. 🤗🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻🤗
Mary to stop the tube kinking I recommend using a wooden popsicle stick and taping it around the tube. You can break it as small as you want and It acts as a splint to keep everything nice and straight. My nutrition team recommended to me and it so simple but very effective!

Megan same
Broke our hearts seeing Mary girl hurting. So happy to see you feeling a bit better!! Have a great trip!❤️❤️
I'm sure you've tried everthing under the sun, but when I have a headache that has a headache (extreme pain) I finally remember that ICE is my go-to pain reliever.

It might help you too. Love to you both. 👵🏻😘
I agree ice on the back of the neck and forehead-temple area. It helps a lot! They even sell ice helmets for migraines.
Patricia Norton I second this - ice is great for headaches !! or, even just drinking something cold helps too
You're so right! I get really bad migraines, and on top of meds that is the only thing that helps! Ice straight on my forehead or behind my neck
Patricia Norton Agreed! I put an ice pack on my temporal artery and it cools my brain down I guess 💁🏻 whatever works!
Migraine sufferer right here. Either ice or a cloth diaper wrapped around my head. Both if it's REALLY bad.
Just found your channel. My dad was on twenty four hour day oxygen with a lungCondition. I used to give him physio during the day. Mary many of my dads friends had CF! You are an inspiration to us all! My prayers and much love is sent to you and your lovely husband. Much love Leisa xxxx
Sending lots of prayers. When I have a major headache I tell myself "I am looking forward to feeling better in 30 minutes." and in 30 minutes I do feel better. Power of positive thinking.
Oh Mary, this is so heartbreaking. Please stay strong, I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your trip. Lots of compliments for Peter, he is standing beside you like a trooper! 💜
I definitely missed awhile of videos with my stomach/eating problems, but I was so happy to get notified about this video today. I know there can be a lot of downs with med issues but watching this video made me smile today.
Hope youre feeling better today. you are always in my thoughts and prayers ❤

I'm so glad that your headache went away so that you could do the things that you needed to do!

Mary I tried not to cry. You made me cry. I absolutely love you two considering you won’t see this, I admire you so much. “We’re going on a trip, in our favorite potato chip”.
New to your channel, love it !!!!! Just watched the one y'all talking about the rock, we have a German shepherd dog named Petra, and in the Bible means strong and it fits her perfectly, she is all of our rock in the family. She is the sweetest baby ever. You guys are awesome and it brings a delight to us. You guys have such a down to earth personality it is great to watch, I watch peters church sermons, thank you both for all you both do!!!!!

I know you're probably sick of people giving you suggestions, but I used to get chronic headaches and insane light sensitivity, then I had my Daith pierced and the migraines have completely stopped and headaches are minimal. It also helped my light sensitivity too. It's changed my life so much I just wanted to recommend it if it could help in any way.
I hope you're more comfortable soon. X
The Vlogging Murrays I have a rook which is very very similar to a daith. The cartilage is really thick in that area, so it can take a little bit longer to push the needle through. It burns for a few days. It will hurt for several weeks whenever something touches it, but it's very tolerable. I've had mine for about a year, and it gets irritated every once in a while, becoming inflamed and painful, but it's not bad. (I also have slow healing from my chronic illnesses.)
The Vlogging Murrays
I got both of my daiths pierced after years of chronic headaches and migraines (2 days no pain 3-8 days of pain rinse and repeat) and I'm down to maybe 3 headaches a month and they're easy to manage. I highly recommend it
Stay strong and keep the message going through your actions, we can cope, survive, and go another day.TY! As someone who suffers from depression, anxiety, I gain strength from watching you, may God keep blessing you and your sweet husband! :) As small as a mustard seed or potato ,we can persevere!
I love that you guys have a "abnormal" sleeping pattern! Sometimes I feel ashamed of my weird sleeping schedule but you guys make it seem more ok.
I'm so sorry you were in so much pain. Glad that you were starting to feel better towards the end of the video!!
Blown away by the beauty of Mary, Peter and Ollie. Their spirits shine through. Mary remains beautiful despite everything she endures. Blessed with a natural beauty.
I watch you guys for some time now and never comment, I was compelled to pray for Mary today and you will remain in my prayers love u guys luv the channel
So sorry you were in such pain Mary! I'm actually watching this video while in bed with a headache; you make me feel less alone:) I think one of the reasons I love your vlogs so much is that you show REAL life. You find beauty in the little things. I'm having a bum day with no riveting things happening, but you've taught me that that's ok!
Mary you are an amazing person and I hope that you feel better soon. You guys are so positive and you make my problems and stress seam like nothing. You are so strong and you make the world a better place. Thanks for being awesome! 💕
I am born n raised in baltimore maryland...i still live here...u guys are awesome n i love that u have family from my home town
I just started watching her and now I feel bad for crying when I have cramps , she so strong you got this sis
Whenever I watch your vlogs I am constantly reminded of Impermanence, each day is a new day, each Monet, each breath. The only certainty any of us has is the certainty that things will change.. nothing lasts forever, not the good, not the bad. "This being human is a guest house". Rumi. We have to welcome all who visit. You and Peter are the epitome of that kind of life. You remind me everyday to be here now! So thank you!
You guys are the sweetest thing that ever was! Always thinkin of you 💜 praying everyday for your health and peace. Enjoy your trip!! Love you!!
I love you guys so much I hope you start feeling better Mary💓❤️️
I hope you see this bc your my inspiration bc I'm 13 and have CF
I know it was last year.... But, I and my little family live in southern PA.... The closeness. Praise him! For you two.... You keep me away from the darkness. I have a lot of mental /physical illnesses that are forever. But, I've tried to kill myself 26 times and others have tried to kill me. Like family. But, enough of that.... I truly love you guys. God bless
Well Mary, to a fellow sickie, my name is Mary too. It is really hard to have something that will never go away. I have been having a really tough time lately and tripping into your channel, this video made me feel a little lighter. I have been sick my whole life, or at least as lost as I can remember. My disease is digestive and it leads to other illnesses, which I am sure you can relate. Just glad to have, 'met' you and look forward to seeing more of what you've got to share! Thanks=)
I've suffered with migraines since I was a child and my best advice for head aches is ice packs and tying them on your head. And if you can have caffeine a cup of coffee or tea is supper helpful. Hope you get a good night sleep tonight.
My day is never complete until I see Ollie ! Oh and four paw pile up too!
Oh no hope you feel better soon
Mary my dear you are something else. Hugs to this beautiful lady and her hundsome
aww Mary my heart aches for you soo much, I hope and pray for relief sweetie , sending love and prayers to you all, hugs
My son loves the little Einstein's! Bless you guys for bein so positive, you're definitely a role model!
So i'm having quite a bit of abdominal pain but I just started watching you and even though Marry isn't feeling well, you two are always so positive that it makes me feel so much better! Thank you very much for that and feel better soon!
You got this Mary!! Your the strongest women I know and you inspire me everyday!!
Ugh, it broke my heart to see you in so much pain Mary. Praying you are as pain free as possible on your trip now 💛
Mary was cracking me up while she was chomping down on that whole little potato. She is so funny, I'm glad she had an appetite!
Seeing other comments it seems like it was a migraine day for many. I woke up with one today as well. No fun at all. Hydrating, rub pressure points including roof of your mouth, the cold rag on the head, lavender essential oil, no lights or sounds, my mouth guard retainer thing that keeps me from clamping down my jaw, and changing positions. Today standing up was so much better than sitting or lying down. Whatever works, I know it is much better to be home than on the road. We had to go out of town for our son the last time I got one that I had to go to the ER to get fluids and emergency meds. We had already checked out of the hotel but ended up checking back in after the ER because getting on the road was a scary prospect. All that to say, stick to well populated areas and print out a copy of your medicines and medical history to hand off in an emergency on your trip!
you are such a strong person Mary in life and in faith you will fight though this there are so many people that love and pray for you.🙏🙏
I'm sorry you had such a hard day yesterday. Excruciating describes my Saturday quite well, also. Thanks for your inspiration encouragement. Do what you think you can't do
I love how excited you get about good bargains! It makes me feel like I can relate to you more than some other youtubers :)
We are sending hugs to you Mary! I wish they could find a way to stop those headaches.
Mary stay strong! Never give up, and you're a beautiful person inside and out💓
Mary I pray God gives you strength. Peter I pray God gives you strength. Peter I cant even imagine how you feel,to see someone you love in pain like she has....... you are always are so supportive. You are an awesome person. God bless you both.

You are the sweetest couple. It is amazing how you work together. Chronic illness is very hard on everyone involved. My husband and I both have chronic pain and illness' and some days it is just really hard to get anything done.
You poor, sweet angel. You and your hubby are beautiful. 💗
I love you guys! I'm so happy that your head gave you a break Mary. Enjoy your visit with your nephew!
aww Mary. i have chronic migraine so i feel for you on so many levels. some days im soo sick to my tummy during an episode that i can only resort to peppermint oil for some numbing power.
I LOVED your self talk, along withe the pep talk and high five ;) You are BOTH sooo inspirational!!!
This is so hard to watch my heart goes out to you Mary, you're tough to go through this.
Mary I know it is hard but maybe this is just preparing you for your vacay. Keep fighting you are an inspiration. 💙💚💛
Love you two! Praying for a beautiful and safe trip for you both!
Doesn't matter what you name your vlogs, I'm sure your fans will still watch - i know I sure will. Enjoy your trip guys. I'm praying that your head gets better Mary, I'm so sorry that you go through those coughing episodes, :( - I think you ought to hold your head when it happens, might help. Well guys, take care now and keep up the good fight and happy road trip. :)
You're in my prayers. Headaches are the worst man :( pain is just ugh, I'm so sorry you are feeling crappy. ❤
I was so sad seeing you in so much pain Mary, sending you hugs.Peter you look good in those shorts, nice color. Love you all. ♡♡♡
There is a pressure point at the top of your head and if you press it it can relieve pain! I get migraines and I push my head down like that all the time! Fingers crossed you feel better soon Mary xx
Hope your head feels better head pain sucks. So glad I get to watch your videos.
I was so excited to hear you came to maryland. I live an hour from Hagerstown! Enjoy your stay :)
Oh Mary, I hope you feel better soon, love both of you lots.
