I have watched other videos where the wife is sick and the husband s are like Kyle. If any male that is lost in how to be A REAL MAN they should watch videos like this. They will see devotion and love. 17:47
He is a real man in every since of the word and any woman would happily follow a man like him!!! Most men are not 1/4 of a man like him.... most are centered to themselves!!!
Oops, It was only recently that I learned from one of Kyle's videos that his Mom was his sole parent when growing up. Kudo's to his Mom to "keeping it together" with all the adult responsibilities and maintaining her sense of calm to guide and sheperd Kyle along in his character building, decision making and every aspect of his life to have him be the gracious human being he is today.
My dearest Jenny, I want to share my little adventure with you. A few days ago, I decided to pack my car with a tent and supplies to last me a few days. I camped (I am no expert) on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, where the ponies roam free. I had a water front view and I had two chairs positioned beside the waters. I spend three days alone with God in deep prayer for you and your family. I sat in one chair and the empty chair was filled with my prayers for you. I prayed at sunrise and sunset and throughout the days for you. I prayed for healing and for God’s covering of peace. I am so sad that you are in the hospital. You are loved by so many and it’s unimaginable just how many prayers are being sent your way. I will continue to pray for you and I pray you are feeling better soon and back home with your precious children. Kyle is a wonderful supportive husband. Happy Father’s Day, Kyle. Praying your family will be together soon. 💙💗
Jenny,I am a retired palliative-hospice nurse I pray for you every day Re:Ellis and Winnie for what it’s worth,I think both kids or no kids I bet there is child care specialist that might help She might know a social worker who specializes on kids and grief❣️🙏 Your kids are incredibly intuitive They need someone beyond you and Kyle It is overwhelming
Absolutely well said. Children want to help so badly, and when they can’t, it’s is a huge burden on little shoulders. I think they would benefit so much with a therapist of their own…that said, vet the therapist well! Our prayers are with you! God bless you all, and for Kyle, what a great blessing you are for your family! Friends in Ireland 🇮🇪
As a retired children's therapist, I think you are already doing the right things with your children, trust your instincts and don't worry about them shedding tears, that's a healthy response to missing you & knowing something is going on. It's better that they express their feelings rather than bottle them up. You are such great parents and Jenny, you are amazing recording updates when you are feeling so ill, we all appreciate them.. I know I have thought for you and prayed in my own way lots this week as I'm sure many of us have. Rest up, keep up with the nourishment, your kids will be fine & you will start feeling stronger very soon - I really do believe that.xx
Wow, things sure happen fast ... I was wondering how it went from the e-bike to now. You two are such loving parents and a great family . Well, follow your instinks with your children , there is no easy way and to be honest is the best . God bless you all I love you friend, family 🙏🏻😘🤗
Rubbish. It is pure instinct and intelligence, that tells one that it is never healthy for children to be upset and crying about their mother. They want their mother home, and I would fight to make that happen.
I’ve never seen a person like Kyle. He is such an amazing individual. Very hard to watch someone you love go through this horrible disease. Must be very difficult for him, they are very young and vibrant. It’s really not the way things should be. I just hope she beats this. Hard for Jenny because she’s in constant worry for her children. She’s a fighter for certain , amazing person.
You look a lot better Jenny. We are all here for you. I feel so happy seeing you both, I’m keeping my fingers recrossed that it won’t be too long before you are home. I know it’s hard not seeing the children but I think it would be better seeing the two of them together when you get home. Talk to them as much as you can on your phone. My thoughts are with you all. You’re in my prayers each evening. Much love to you all. June xx
Hello Jenny. We are 37 years past my husband's serious illness that had him in hospital for 6+ weeks. 2 major surgeries, 4 weeks in ICU. Our sons were 4 and a newborn. The boys were with family so I could be with my husband everyday. I had forgotten how hard this was until I just saw the two of you today. We did get through it. I remember stopping at the hospital gift shop every night to buy the 4 yr old something from daddy. Gum, chocolate, little things, but it was from daddy. After about 6 weeks, though, our son told me he was going with me to see his daddy, and got into the car. I understood. Yes you will see your daddy, no matter what. In we went to the hospital, and hand in hand into my husband's room. He was the happiest little boy when he saw his dad! No trouble from staff. My husband was released soon after that visit. We did get back to normal, it took a little time. The boys were okay. ❤
I know you blessed! You are right , we still put one foot in front of the other. He went through a lot, bless his heart. My heart goes out to theses two kids! Such a sweet family! God bless them and you!
I wanted to Thank you Jenny and Kyle for sharing your story. My husband has been going through pretty much the same treatments you are. He has had the plural effusions, non smoking lung cancer and brain metastasis. He doesn’t want to tell me much about what he’s going through. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and it helps me understand and be patient. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong Beautiful Spirits ❤
I worked as an oncology nurse in the ‘70’s at MD Anderson &I met many courageous people. You are amazing and your children should be able to visit. I have prayed for you & your family. Keep the positive spirit. Many strides have been made since I worked with cancer patients. God bless you and your beautiful family.
@@melissakuipers7034. I have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer Adenocarcinoma. And no pain meds 😡.. so my primary care physician ordered a hospice kind of like for me add my insurance company has it said if I’m getting hospice and they have it approved my pain medicine😡
@GODS Child That is not good an insurance Co won't pay for your meds unless in hospice. So they want to pay for meds and hospice instead of meds. They never make sense with their decisions. Don't figure.
Prayers are coming fast and furious for you beautiful lady! Rest and know that God’s got you! Praying daily for you and your family that cancer is taken out of your body! Gods got you and we got you! 💗 from Maine.
I have never commented before, but just wanted to share this... I had a close family member in the hospital with cancer, and my youngest child was technically too young to visit this person. It was really difficult for the both of them. We did the outside visits. We basically had to demand them. At first the staff was resistant (but couldn't give a great reason) but they finally agreed. The doctors couldn't get over how much it helped the patient - both seeing the young person AND the fresh air. I hope you can work it out, if that is what you decide is best for your sweet kiddos. Sending you lots of love and healing thoughts.❤️❤️❤️
100% agree. Jen is plenty looking well enough to see Winnie even if for a short visit so it doesn't take it out of her. I think Winnie NEEDS it at the moment😢
I’ve only been recently following your story , but I’ve caught up quick on all your videos. Just want to say how beautiful you and your family are very strong and inspiring with your strong positive outlook. All my prays to you and your family. All the way from Adelaide Australia ❤
Back in 1970, when I was eight years old, my mother was treated for cancer and she’ll be turning 100 years old this September. Back then it was customary for children to be shut out of any communication so no one ever asked me how I felt, I was not permitted to visit my mother for months and no one provided any form of psychological support. As a child, I was literally sick with terror every single day. All around me were adults with sad faces whispering things and I was temporarily sent to live with another family as my old fashioned father did not participate in child care beyond being the financial provider. Over 50 years have passed and I still get flashbacks of the sickly feelings I had back then. It’s just sooo wonderful to see how inclusive and supportive you both are toward your children in spite of your own ongoing suffering. I hope your children have access to a child therapist experienced in helping children identify and express their feelings. I think it would be wonderful for the children if you could spend some time sitting outside with them. We only see the tip of the iceberg with children’s feelings as they lack skills for self expression. Thank heavens, that unlike in my childhood, there now are great child specific therapies. Wishing you the best from Canada.
That is so true, my Dad very suddenly died at work from an unexpected cardiac arrest. I was 8 years old and no one really talked to me about how I felt and or how I was hurting. It was 1955 and I guess they didn’t think of that then. One of my fears was if my Dad could die that suddenly then maybe my Mom will too and I will be an orphan, and such. I’m so glad they are both so thoughtful of the kid’s’ emotional well being through all of this ❤
So sorry you went thru that, sadly my mother went thru your experience, no thought for the children...her mother had cancer, no child visits..then one day out of the blue her teacher (primary school) just said..." you can go home early your mums dead" ...as the eldest of six siblings she was told to break the news to them. She's 96 now and still stresses over the ordeal. Thankgoodness times have changed. Blessings to all ❤❤❤
@@wendybenton9762 How awful for your poor Mum! Our mum died in 1975 when I was 12 - same thing - there one day gone the next! I turn 60 soon and have never recovered from the sense of loss and shock.
So happy that you not in much pain chuck - I want to know yr cancer is NOT progressing please God!! You deserve as normal a life as possible with yr family darling. I don't know you but been following you and you seem lovely. You got this!! ❤❤
Darling girl... We are STILL holding your hands gently and looking forward to you going home to the little apples 🍎🍏 Kyle is doing you proud and no one could love you and care for you more than he - nice work Kyle 👏👍 I was watching Kyle riding his new bicycle yesterday that he got for Fathers Day - sooo funny he was like a little boy and full of tigger bounce. So deserved. Keep up the good work Jen . We are here for you always.... Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx
I'm praying for you! I've been fighting stage 4 breast cancer for 5 years, so I definitely know the hurt of being in the hospital away from your babies. It's the worst. When I was in ICU waiting for brain surgery, my sweet nurse got it approved from her supervisor to let my kids come visit me for two hours. They literally snuck my kids into ICU. It was such a blessing! It never hurts to ask. I'm praying for healing for you and also that you can see your sweet kids...praying God will open that door for you!
Jenny, I'm so glad to hear the fluid has decreased!! I'm really glad to hear your pain is more under control ❤. I'm a medically retired Oncology RN and I just am so amazed at how strong you are, you should be proud of your incredible resilience. Sending prayers and much love ❤ 🙏🏼🤗
So happy there was no pain at the last drainage, big win! I think the idea of getting to spend even a few minutes outside with Winnie and Ellis is a great idea. Love and hugs.
You have become our friend, Jenny. Though we can't reach out and touch you we are all here in spirit praying for the best for all of your family. I'm not a church-goer but I'm a believer in God's infinite wisdom, I believe he will guide you through this dark period of time providing you with strength to handle all that comes at you. And you and Kyle are wise parents. You came up with the best possible solution to seeing your kiddos. I hope the plan works out. Seeing your kids with give you the burst of energy you need to heal and get home. Keep on keeping on girl!
I agree that letting Ellis visit would create a difficult situation between him and his sister. Siblings do share most everything and keeping it a secret would very hard for Ellis to do. Pursue the idea of being able to meet up with your kids for a short while outside. That would be so terrific for them! They really need that at this stage of the game…. and so do you! I hope that the hospital rules will allow that. 🤞Get well soon Jenny! Love and prayers! 🥰💕
Isn't it better to ask him of he wants to ser his min? He seems old enough to make the decision himself. They could tell Winnie she's too young, though to me that seems bit cruel, I'm quessing it's the hospital regulations but children that young need to ser their patents so inom feels cruel by the hospital to not let her visit too because of her age(of course maybe not a good idea of you're too sick but when you feel better). But best would be if both could visit outside, okay I don't know how long the hospital stay will be but of it will be very long then I think it's more important that they can visit heir mother regularly children often understand more than you think, they have guestions and worries about what is going on but att the same time you know your kids and what would be best for them individuelly.
Like the idea of seeing the kids outside for a short visit. What about giving each child a handkerchief that smells like you- with the cologne you usually wear, etc. They can put in their pillowcase. 😀💕😀💕😀💕🙏🙏🙏
I can tell that your and Kyle’s love is one that transcends all time. I believe the two of you have been together many, many lifetimes. It is profound! And your family one that many aspire to be, or even pretend to be. You guys are the real deal and I am so grateful to be part of your RUclips family! You are so open, kind and sincere that it is easy to feel connected to all of you, and all of us. It is such a gift that you have given us thank you! I am praying and holding space for you as you get stronger and feel better. ❤
You look so much better Jenny! Kyle & you are adorable together...how blessed you two are. Good news about less draining. Looks like you will be home soon. Hang in dear Jenny...we are with you always!! ❤️🌼❤️🌺❤️!!
Ciao! Vi scrivo dall'Italia, per la prima volta commento un video in vita mia, ma voi due, singolarmente e come coppia di genitori, siete di una rarità incredibile. Tu Jenny sei vitale e profonda, Kyle è il tuo sostegno ma contemporaneamente tu sei il suo, mi stupite per come siete in grado di affrontare ed elaborare tutto quello che vi sta capitando... La vostra capacità di resilienza è un grande spunto di riflessione per me. Credo che stiate insegnando molto a tanti. Siamo geograficamente lontani, lo siamo anche culturalmente e forse anche per questo vi stimo profondamente. Vi auguro il meglio, davvero.
Oh, what a beautiful comment. Let me translate ❤. Hi! I'm writing from Italy, commenting on a video for the first time in my life, but you two, both individually and as a parenting team, are of incredibly rare character. You Jenny carry both depth and vitality, Kyle is your support but at the same time you are his, it shocks me what you are able to confront despite everything that is happening to you. Your capacity for resilience is a inspiration for self-reflection for me. I believe you two are teaching a great deal to many people. We are geographically very far apart, and culturally as well, and perhaps it is also for this reason that I hold you in such high esteem. I wish you the best, truly.
These short updates are precious to us! You look so much better! You have a prayer circle of thousands. We all love you, Kyle & the kids. Your entire family is so special! ❤❤
Great idea about talking to the doctor, nurses, and social worker. If you feel strongly about it, a visit with your children may really help you all! Sometimes what children imagine is much worse than reality. Have something fun planned for them to do after the visit is over so it’ll be easier for them to leave. You’ll make the right decision- I have no doubt! Praying for you and I like the updates! 🙏🏻❤
Yes all of this! The kids can make cards/decorations for your room, help them know it isn’t as scary as they imagined and when you FaceTime they can see their decorations cheering you up 😊
So happy to see a new video! I'm glad your pain has lessened and hopefully you will be home soon. I loved, loved your gift to Kyle!! He deserves something special.
You are doing soooo much better than the last blog. What a difference. Prayer is a powerful thing, not to mention keeping positive. Keep that smile going. You and Kyle are a wonderful team. Being so loved is strong meds!
Oh, Jenny! You look so much better in this video! Thank you Jesus for prayers answered and easing some pain. We praise You, Lord! I think the best medicine for your whole family would be fresh air and togetherness outside at the hospital! That sounds like an amazing gift for Kyle on Father’s Day! You all remain in my prayers!
Kyle, I feel so bad for you. I know exactly what it feels like to be the caregiver for everyone and I'm sure you're exhausted. You are an amazing person and I understand how heavy all of this is on you. I'm sorry you're going through this and I'm praying for all of you. Try to have a great Father's Day, please do something fun for yourself, you NEED to.
Marybeth is right on. Kyle,You need to get some rest and go to a favorite place, to let your emotions go into hiding. This is my second time as a full time caregiver, and the stress is overwhelming. You need to find a safe spot in your mind, to retreat to.. your body has less fighting power , during this time,to overcome anything that might cause you to be real sick. It’s hard, I’m still taking care of my husband. 2 years now, with heart attack, stroke, and vascular dementia. Please let your family help you, it’s a godsend. My kids, can’t be bothered. Accept the love and help, you will have Jenny and the kids to love and cherish for a long time! Stay mental, and physically healthy. Love you all❤️❤️❤️
@@cathythomas298 I am so sorry your kids won't be bothered to help. I understand. It seems like kids now a days are so selfish which is sad when it comes to us parents needing help.
@heidiricks9856 that's what spouses do. I don't think Kyle feels "it's all on him." They do have a lot of family and friends' 14:35 support. They are a couple who work together as one and they communicate their feelings, good or bad. That's big. Not a lot of couples have that kind of closeness. Praying for Jenny and her family. Cancer is the devil. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
From a fellow cancer warrior, please allow me to share my father's story. When he was 19 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He was sent to a sanatorium to be isolated because tuberculosis was so contagious. His condition became so dire they told him he would either need portions of both lungs removed or try experimental medication. Thank God he choose the medication. He was one of the first patients to receive the cure. Keep fighting Jenny,(I know you will) because you never know what discovery is around the corner. Also if there is such a thing as soulmates it's Kyle and you. So glad you found each other. God bless you and your beautiful family.❤
Every time I watch your videos, I say a prayer for you Jenny! May the Great I AM, the Creator who made every cell and tissue in your body restore your health. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirt and cancer has no place in it. Receive your healing in Jesus name. Amen!
I’m a great grandma, almost 75, and I love seeing the videos of your sweet family and of you two as a couple. I pray that they find a good treatment fit for you Jenny. You have suffered terribly thru trial and error with these treatments and I pray that a successful treatment plan is developed for you and that the cancer is defeated soon. I’m certainly praying as well for God’s healing power to put an end to this disease and your sweet family can live happily ever after. 🥰
There is such a big difference in care when you don’t rely on government/free insurance healthcare. Watching your video and another RUclipsr who is going through a similar situation. Wow, you’re blessed. Stay strong! Continued prayers.
When my grandmother was sick with cancer and in the hospital, they bought her down to see us in the lobby because my brother wasn’t old enough to visit. That was in 1967. I’m glad we got to see her together. Praying for you every day. 🙏
I thought it would be nice if the hospital had a little family room where they could visit for a short time. The hospital is filled with cancer patients. So everyone that has kids is going through the same exact thing if the kids are small.
Ask the hospital or a therapist if there are books that would help with the children. Im sure they would love to hear your voice reading them a bedtime story. Lots of prayers for you Jenny and Kyle and the little kiddos. 🤍🙏🕯
Jenny, it is such a difficult decision about the children and being a children’s bereavement therapist, I can honestly share that you and Kyle are the best judges of what to do. Listen to your heart, it will tell you what to do . There are a couple ways you can go but again you know the children best and if you think you’re going to be out of the hospital soon, then hang in there and do your visits virtually or if the doctor allows them to come outside. Overall, it will be less stress for you, and that is important! so wonderful that Kyle can be there with you, and my prayers are daily that you are home soon and feeling better. Hugs!
Hi! After watching this video, and with them talking about the kids feelings, etc. I wondered in my mind if the kids should be going to counseling. Sounds like you’re a therapist, what would be your thought on this? It would be cool if the hospital had something for children of the hospitalized parent. Or maybe the kids could go with when Kyle goes to his counseling session. I don’t know. It’s just a thought that I had after watching this one. Thanks for listening. ❤❤❤
Your vegan diet is working against you right now! Pure protein in meat is sooo important! I had emergency surgery and was a vegetarian for years prior. Lean beef provides iron. Chicken or eggs provide B12! Certain Fish offers Omega 3s. Ask a registered dietician for advice while you are in the hospital. This is life or death! Eat right! Build up your strength & then be a vegetarian but STOP EATING FAKE MEAT & SOY! I promise your weird diet is NOT helping you!
When my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I had a really hard time accepting what was happening. Mentally I knew , but was emotionally unprepared to handle it. I went to see a therapist, and it did help. For various reasons I stopped going, thinking of starting back soon. I can only imagine how hard it must be for children.
Yay for no-pain drainage and...no drainage! Also yay for discontinuing a treatment that was wrecking your body with MULTIPLE futher options! Onward and upward! Also, yes; Kyle needs a shirt that says "Main Drainer" 😃. You guys are honestly incredible. ❤
Definitely ask the doctors to allow you to visit with your kids. They might make a special allowance for a short visit this weekend. It definitely makes a big difference mentally.
I’m impressed at your resilience Jenny 👐🏻. Nurse Kyle is certainly is right there by your side, he’s awesome! Keep up the good work you two, I’m cheering you on!!
I am so very happy to see that you are not in a lot of pain….good news to hear the fluid is getting less and less each time….Kyle you are an amazing husband and dad…..Happy Fathers Day to you…..thank you for taking care of our Jenny! Love and hugs to you all…..
Jenny, guys, now youtube offered me to watch a video from five years ago about Jennya's father, who became a pensioner. And congratulations from his family. What a pleasure and delight it is to see everyone young and healthy! Jenny, thanks to you, your videos, you left a memory of your father when he became a pensioner. These are very interesting memories that will remain in your family for a long time
I still can’t believe you are gone Jenny. I miss seeing and hearing from you already. You had the most kind positive attitude even through all the pain and discomfort. Praying for strength and comfort for Kyle, Ellis, Winnie and family while they navigate through this huge loss. God speed Jenny. ❤️🙏🏼
Hello Jenny, your friend from SA, Today is Saturday here and the time is 6.00pm. I am preparing the Father's day meal for tomorrow because it will be Fathers day. My husband was diagnosed with Fibroses of the Lungs 18 months ago and given a life span of 3 years and half of that is gone. Tomorrow some of my family will be here for lunch celebrating Fathers day with us and some will not see the importance of spending precious time with their father because it could be the last Fathers day so I so admire your family and pray that God grant you many more years together because life has so many challenges and you and Kyle seem to have it all together, stay strong dearest Jenny and know God loves you and yours. Joan. ❤❤
I can only imagine how Jenny feels missing her children and home, with being ill, it's heartbreaking. But to hear Kyle speak on being broken and emotional really got to me. I feel bad for the kids. They must really miss their mommy and daddy even thought they are having a good time with others. My thoughts and prayers are with this family!! I hope Jenny obtains her strength back and can go home very soon❤. God bless you❤️❤️🙏🙏
10/10 recommend getting a tripod with bendy legs so you can hold it up easier, set it up to rest on your knees, wrap it around say the bedrails or say a porch rail, etc. 2nd best is a selfie stick. It really does help you be able to hold it up and keep the weight on the stick which can rest on your legs or the bottom resting on your hip. I'm glad you're rallying and seeing improvements! I'm keeping all of you, your family, and your friends in my prayers. Much love from Michigan!
I think Winnie might be too young to understand if you allowed Ellis to visit, but not her. You are their parents though and I know you will make the right decision for you and your family. FaceTime/zoom might be the way forward for now, fingers crossed you will be home soon. I know I don’t know you in reality, but I feel invested in your journey and look forward to seeing your videos. Yours and Kyle’s strong love for each other shines through. When I was going through cancer treatment, my mantra was”every cloud had a silver lining”. You are so lucky to have each other, many people fight this dreadful illness with no one to support them. You are each others silver lining. As always, sending huge positive vibes from the UK 🇬🇧💕🤗🙏
I think you and Kyle are the most amazing couple….truly Jenny, documenting your cancer journey with your loving husband is blessing so many people ~ I have you on my prayer list and consider it such a privilege to stand in the gap for you Jenny, Kyle and your precious children 🙏✝️🙏 ~GOD BLESS~
You are so lucky to have such a great support system, both family and friends. I too have stage four metastatic cancer in pretty much all my major organs and have no family. I’m sorry for the pain and suffering you’re going through. Everyone with this horrible disease has their own path to follow and I’m glad I found your channel.😉
Hi there, being unwell and alone is no fun. I hope that you have a local cancer charity that can find someone to visit with you. There are lots of wonderful volunteers who would love to spend time with you. If you can’t find one online perhaps you could ask your healthcare providers to see if they can find an organisation for you that could help you out. Having someone to talk to makes life so much easier. All best x
Jenny, Even relationships born online can be very impactful and real. I consider you a friend and am often thinking of you and your family. You are always in my prayers.
Oh dear Jenny and Kyle, what an amazing strong and brave couple you are. Thank you for being so open about this long and hard journey you are on. May Heavenly Father bless and comfort you all as a family through this trial. My thoughts and prayers are with you.❤❤
I can’t believe that the hospital say that Winnie is too young! I could understand it if she was an only child, but she’s not and both of them should be allowed to visit their mummy for cuddles and, more importantly, to put their minds at ease a little. You sound better than the last video, even though you may not feel it! Sending loving positive thoughts to you and all your family xx
I got a feeling its so there not around all that equipment and staff working. Where i work its stressful if people come with small kids that dont always behave. 😊
@@sammyb8152 I totally get that. Perhaps there’s a family room that they can all use? I do hope so as those wee ones are missing their mummy so much and vice versa.
@@Serenitynow958 my then husband brought our dog to the hospital when I had our first son. It was in the days where you stayed in hospital for 5 days to have plenty of support! The midwives actively encouraged it so that our dog could form some sort of a bond with our baby and this continued when we got home.
I must tell you sweet Jenny that I am impressed by your hospital gown. It is so much better than the standard issue.😅 Your adorable Kyle is always thinking about things you would like to give you some comfort while confined. Your loving family will give Ellis and Winnie loving hugs and kisses while you just concentrate on feeling better. With a hubby who adores you, all will be okay. Prayers each night for you.❤❤❤❤
Sometimes I think hospitals have hurtful rules. What in the world is so different about a 3 yr old vs a 7 yr old? And there is nothing as important when a parent is hospitalized than to be with their children. Forget the dumb ole germs. IMO, separation is more harmful that silly little germs. Your children (both) need a hug from mama. There is no better healing agent. My childhood feels like it was yesterday and I would have just been crushed without seeing my mama and having her hugs. Do whatever you can to see your darlings. You need it! Your children need it! It just brings tears to my eyes that the hospital mandates no visitation for your children. I will pray for all of you and that the doors be opened.
Jenny, that is a wonderful idea to see if you could go outside to see Ellis & Winnie. I am keeping you and Kyle and kids in my prayers every day. And I think it’s nice that you think of us as your friends and family. I certainly think of you that way even though it seems weird since I have never met you, but I think of you daily and keep y’all in my prayers. ❤️🤗🙏
Ask the nurse manager on your unit if they will allow a visit with both kids. Given the illness they may allow a special visit. Asking to go outside is another good idea. Your very honest with your kids maybe ask them how they would feel. Get better soon.
I haven’t even watched the full video yet,but feel astounded that the system will not allow Winnie in to see you,to me that is unbelievable. What is the reasoning behind this “rule”. Some compassion is needed I’m not sure what the regulations are here in NZ,but I’ve not heard of this happening here in this day and age. Love and best wishes to you all. 😘😘
Jenny, you look and sound so much better. Whatever decision you make about Winnie ❤ and Ellis ❤ will be the right one. We love you, Jenny!!! ❤ Kyle, you're such a love. ❤
I feel for all of you so badly. I know how traumatic it is, all of it from having cancer to an ambulance ride to a long stay in the hospital and missing your children like crazy. It's a lot. I commend both of you for handling everything so beautifully. You going outside for some fresh air and a visit from your children is exactly what you need right now. Thank you for keeping us posted on your health like you do it means so much because we all care so much for you. We're praying 🙏 every day for your family.
Jenny and Kyle, The very best solution would be for the doctors to give an all clear for a visit right outside the hospital. Letting Ellis visit without Winnie will break both of their hearts. You may have to wait until you’re home to have a reunion. In the meantime, you should FaceTime as often as possible. There will be tears, but if they can at least see you and talk to you, that should help to calm their sweet little hearts. In the meantime, we are probably ALL praying for you! Sending love across the miles from Hammond, Louisiana! 💕🌷💕 Happy Father’s Day, Kyle. You’re the best!!
Jenny you seem to be breathing easier and not as flushed in the face. You are in hospital to learn how to deal with these new steps. Hopefully this drainage will get easier. Our bodies need time to get used to changes. Im so glad you have each other to get through this.
When I was 21 with a baby I became a statistic and had AFIB. I was so afraid of losing my life with a baby. My life love was amazing through the entire. I don't remember how many times I've had my heart shocked. My point for sharing this is. I'm now 60 and lived my life with doctors, new meds, but I lived. I lived to see grandchildren. If it seems hopeless it's not. Pray and seek God because he hears our prayers. Jenny I feel like I know you. I cry with you I love you honey and I pray for you. God is able
It is so wonderful to see you two. You look beautiful Jenny. Great news less pain, less fluid. Still praying for you. Thank you for up dayeing us. Kyle your amazing. Love and prayers for you both, kids and family.💓🌞📿
Jenny I was so pleased to see you looking better and sounding better, your voice seems much stronger. I’m glad you two get to spend a date night together
Hello Jenny and Kyle. As everyone has said, you are amazing parents. You will make the right decisions. My two cents as a child who was passed to relatives because my mother was in the hospital a lot is to try to have that bench visit outside. The ache of missing "mommy" is a strong one. I think your kiddos will treasure the memory of it. Sending love and hugs to all of you.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
You two lovebirds are so sweet!! This may sound weird, but when I see you have a new video out, I get so excited!! I enjoy watching you both (and kiddos when on) so much... more than any tv show I've ever watched!! Thank you for showing us and letting us be a part of your journey with you and Kyle for the good, bad, and ugly that cancer is... CANCER SUCKS!! And Jenny, I don't know anyone who looks as pretty as you even as you lay in a hospital bed!! 😊🎉❤🎉😊 *feel better!!
Continue to pray for better pain management,and for your medical team to know how to continue to help you. Continue to pray for your family and extra prayers for your husband and kids
Absolute prayers Jenny and Kyle. You both are such a lovely couple. I can see the sadness in your faces but hold on Jenny, you will gather more strength each day. Cancer is hard to speak about these days as my daughter will be having good days and bad days as well. You two don't know how much this breaks me dealing with my daughter and seeing you not feeling well but by the grace of God, he is going to get you better so you can be home with your babies. Personally in my opinion, I would see if there is another way for Ellis and Winnie both to see you at the same time. Hopefully it can be an outside thing. I hope you two can work that out for all of you. Jenny, I'm praying hard for you, Kyle and your babies along with my daughter. Get rest and think positive thoughts that this is just a bump in the road along with cancer. Kyle, I pray for strength, faith, hope and peace for you going through this with Jenny. You are a fantastic guy. Who wouldn't want you to be near someone's side when they are sick? Both of you are blessed having each other. Many prayers going up for you all!!! Hugs and love.❤
I watch pretty much every video and I usually don't comment. Every video you put out is amazing with all the information and each experience you go through. It's so amazing that you're open and honest and real. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease 17 years ago. I got so sick with a flare that hospitalized me for a month . I went down to 75 lb s and eventually lost most of my hair. I was so worried about how it was going to affect my children. But a wise lady once told me. That even as small as they are and how sad it may be at times for them, experiencing me being sick. These experiences will teach them things early on. To be brave, helpful, and mature in some things the other children may not experience. For the better! Time has gone by and I have healed for the most part. Sometimes it is a struggle, but something I deal with. But to see how my children are growing and thriving in the midst of my illness brings me comfort. I see similarities in your kids to mine. And once y'all come through this with them, they're going to do amazing!! We will continue to pray to Jesus for healing. This is the hope as a Believer in Jesus that I have no matter what diagnosis the doctors may give me. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:16, 17 Our spirit man lives for eternity. And I'm so looking forward to seeing my loved ones and some of my children who have passed before me. And know that when we walk with Jesus and live for Him in this life, we are going to be in heaven with Him for eternity. In a perfect body, in a perfect world, with our amazing Creator❤ You can do this precious Jenny!!
I’ve been praying for you (and your husband) the past few times your videos have come across my feed. My 40 years young husband has this diagnosis too…we get what you’re going through-sending you love and God’s peace from the northwest 💛
Good morning, Jenny. It’s noon (EST). Even when there’s no video, I continue to keep you in my prayers and think of you and Kyle and the kids as I go through my day. You’re both such thoughtful, kind parents- whatever you decide for Ellis and Winnie will work out fine. 💕💕💕💕
Thanks for the update. Jenny, you are sounding better today. I have mixed feelings about the children visiting you in the hospital. I do believe Winnie would be upset if Ellis was able to visit and she wasn't. When I was 5 years old I visited my mother in the hospital while she was recovering from surgery and I burst into tears when I saw her. She was hooked up to all sorts of I/V's and I was terrified to see her like that. She then started crying. I remember the whole experience and it was not fun. I think if you were able to meet them outside on a bench that might be better. But that all depends on your doctor and the risks of you being outdoors. Thank goodness we live in a world where Facetime is available.
Hi Jenny your very first video came across my feed about your cancer and I’ve been following you since. My heart is breaking for you that you have to be in the hospital right now. You have an amazing support system around you and you seem very optimistic. And let me tell you from my experience that’s everything! I never blamed God for my cancer. Diagnosed almost 20 years ago. I leaned on Him ❤️ I have three daughters and they were very young at the time. I questioned a lot of the things you’re questioning right now. Wanting to do what’s right and make the right decisions by them. I really think a little outing outside would be a wonderful idea. As long as your team agrees with that. I am praying for strength and healing 🙏🏼
Kyle, you’re such a wonderful, loving, giving, husband. I can’t imagine how tough it’s been on you to watch Jenny go through all this. I’ll be keeping both of you in my heart and in my prayers. You are both amazing and inspiring to us.
My brother suffered a terrible accident two years ago, he fell 22 feet sustaining a fractured back and shattered leg. I was in the ER with him making decisions, he was on a ventilator. His wife was in Greece.. but anyway. The hospital was still doing COVID restrictions, just one visitor a day. His wife and my mom rotated days to be with him, it was really hard because the last I saw him in the hospital was going into ICU unresponsive and on the vent. When he was able to sit in a stroke chair, he got the ok to go outside. After a month I was finally able to see him. If you get the ok to go outside, this will be wonderful for your children.. even if it’s ten minutes. I know I felt so much better seeing him. FaceTime just isn’t in person time. My thoughts are with you on this journey. You guys are amazing ❤️
Hi Jenny, I am always praying for your healing and comfort. That sounds like a great idea to have an outdoor visit with Winnie and Ellis so you can all four be together. So glad the catheter is working out and you had less pain today when the fluid was drained. You have such a wonderful family and you are all doing a great job ☺️
Jenny you are making progress! It’s very noticeable that your body is recovering from the culmination of that last treatment. You got on your feet, your port and draining have not stayed at a “10”!! That’s awesome plus your pain seems better controlled. These aspects are huge successes. Kyle is wonderful communicating and sharing his thoughts & feelings with you. Jenny you provide a safe & open environment to exchange your feelings together. Thank you for sharing your emotions, feelings, experiences & thoughts on so many aspects you are navigating individually & collectively ❣️ Jenny you were so intuitive about celebrating Kyle w/the E-bike!! It feels like you did celebrate Father’s Day . Your dad had fun time w/you assembling the bike & riding it too! That was a beautiful daddy/daughter time/experience. Your dad must’ve felt valued & loved by being involved in that while also having that precious time with you. Jenny, the kids & you celebrated Kyle w/the bike surprise and that was a Fathers Day present that you all enjoyed together! You are closer to being home than yesterday even, so you deserve to celebrate the improvements, the love that buoys you two in the challenges of what preferred positive things isn’t happening YET (meaning it’s on the way). How glorious when your hard work & efforts as the incredible duo you two are yield the best possible outcomes!! The kids are receiving your love and the support team of helpers are an extension of you which is fantastic for them too. You’re doing AWESOME ❣️🤗🙏🙏🙏 for continued strength & positive steps forward.
We miss you too Jenny. Thank you for the update. We do worry about you. You have been through so much. Lovely that Kyle can be with you tonight. The candles and flowers are lovely. I hope the draining continues to be pain free for you. I also hope you are able to see both your dear children soon. Keep getting stronger every day. 🌼
I cant believe how Kyle is such a great and devoted husband. your so blessed to have him as a husband. Jenny your so lucky 🍀, if nothing eles Kyle is by your side..and its so special and so needed this man deserves a metal for his unswering devotion. Hope U get better.
How lovely of you to take the trouble to update us on your progress so frequently , thank you Jenny, I really have been praying for you a lot recently and have to say you do seem a little chirpier today🥰, It’s always hard to decide what’s best when put in a situation like u are with the children but I think I’d just keep them doing what they are doing and FaceTime them, Winnie won’t really understand why her her brother is allowed and she’s not, it’s a hard one for sure. I will be praying you begin to regain some strength so u can return home to ur babies, you are so brave, sending you lots of love and gentle hugs, love Lucy in U.K x x x🙏🌸
Jenny, we're so glad the draining went quicker and you had less pain. Kyle being by your side, is a big comfort he's so sweet. Hang in there sweetie, you'll be home soon Maybe in the meantime, you could FaceTime the kids on your phone, if you can. 😊🌹🌹❤️🕊️🙏🙏
You are both handling this in the best possible way you can! I feel so bloody angry this is happening to you and your family!! This vlogging will help the children look back when older and understand that they were always first and foremost in your decision making. Sending all my love from across the pond 🏴 ❤ x
Sending all the love in the world ❤. When my husband had cancer, I decided not to allow my three daughters to visit, as I didnt want them to see their dad in so much pain. Many years later, I asked them about my decision, not to let them visit him, and they all said they were glad I did , as now, they don't have that trauma to re live. He was also fighting for his life for a long time, and we had many emergency ambulance journeys to the hospital, so my children had to be sent to relatives. Obviously this is just my story and how I felt at that time, I'm not saying it's the right one . I know how hard your situation is, and Kyle, I really feel for you so much, as its hard to keep everything running whilst trying to be there for the family. You are doing an amazing job, honestly you are! I'm praying, the up coming treatments work and just to say, that even in your darkest hours, believe the treatment will work. My husband has been cancer free for 18 years, and I know there are many new treatments out there today, than there were back then, so carry on with your positivity, you have so many of us here praying for you every day, Jenny you are such a beautiful soul 🙏 ❤ xxxxxx
🙌🏽🙏🙌🏽 God please keep families together thru difficult times. My heart goes out to all the mothers and fathers who are battling cancer. 🥹💖 God please keeps us strong during difficult times 🥹
Thank you so much for taking time out from your date night to update us. I’ve been thinking about you a lot. I’m glad they figured out how to make the draining procedure less painful. The question about Winnie is hard. It would do you so much good to see your son at least, but that’s a hard thing to ask Winnie to understand. I like your idea about meeting them outside, though that seems like logistically that might not be so easy. Still, it’d be medicine for the soul, maybe the staff will try to make it happen! I wish you a speedy recovery and homecoming.
Hang in there my sweet Jenny! You are stronger than you think! We all love you and offer our prayers that you overcome this set back and get back home to be with your family. Love, hugs and prayers! 🙏🏻♥️
As a nurse you don’t know how happy I was when you said your nurses “hi 5d each other”. THAT tells so so much to me. Your nurses care!!! Your nurses are trying their very best! Your nurse actually give a s**t!! I loved hearing that so much. Made me happy you have caring nurse, love from your nurse in Australia 😅 well I feel like I know you lol!
You should be able to take a wheelchair to the lobby and see the kids. The hospital I worked in for over 20 years was all about family because it promotes healing for everyone! I would definitely ask or tell them that you want to do this for your mental health!!
Kudos to Kyle's parents for raising him to be the man, father and husband he is today. Enough said.
I have watched other videos where the wife is sick and the husband s are like Kyle. If any male that is lost in how to be A REAL MAN they should watch videos like this. They will see devotion and love. 17:47
He is a real man in every since of the word and any woman would happily follow a man like him!!! Most men are not 1/4 of a man like him.... most are centered to themselves!!!
Kyle didn’t have a dad while growing up. His mom definitely raised a terrific man!
It was only recently that I learned from one of Kyle's videos
Oops, It was only recently that I learned from one of Kyle's videos that his Mom was his sole parent when growing up. Kudo's to his Mom to "keeping it together" with all the adult responsibilities and maintaining her sense of calm to guide and sheperd Kyle along in his character building, decision making and every aspect of his life to have him be the gracious human being he is today.
My dearest Jenny, I want to share my little adventure with you. A few days ago, I decided to pack my car with a tent and supplies to last me a few days. I camped (I am no expert) on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, where the ponies roam free. I had a water front view and I had two chairs positioned beside the waters. I spend three days alone with God in deep prayer for you and your family. I sat in one chair and the empty chair was filled with my prayers for you. I prayed at sunrise and sunset and throughout the days for you. I prayed for healing and for God’s covering of peace. I am so sad that you are in the hospital. You are loved by so many and it’s unimaginable just how many prayers are being sent your way. I will continue to pray for you and I pray you are feeling better soon and back home with your precious children. Kyle is a wonderful supportive husband. Happy Father’s Day, Kyle. Praying your family will be together soon. 💙💗
What a wonderful person you are. Bless you. Yes, Kyle is fantastic.
How lovely...your kindness brings tears to my eyes.
Wonderful
Actions. That is so touching.
What a beautiful thing to do for another person. Bless you for your prayers for Jenny.❤
Jenny,I am a retired palliative-hospice nurse
I pray for you every day
Re:Ellis and Winnie for what it’s worth,I think both kids or no kids
I bet there is child care specialist that might help
She might know a social worker who specializes on kids and grief❣️🙏
Your kids are incredibly intuitive
They need someone beyond you and Kyle
It is overwhelming
Absolutely well said. Children want to help so badly, and when they can’t, it’s is a huge burden on little shoulders. I think they would benefit so much with a therapist of their own…that said, vet the therapist well!
Our prayers are with you! God bless you all, and for Kyle, what a great blessing you are for your family!
Friends in Ireland 🇮🇪
As a retired children's therapist, I think you are already doing the right things with your children, trust your instincts and don't worry about them shedding tears, that's a healthy response to missing you & knowing something is going on. It's better that they express their feelings rather than bottle them up. You are such great parents and Jenny, you are amazing recording updates when you are feeling so ill, we all appreciate them.. I know I have thought for you and prayed in my own way lots this week as I'm sure many of us have. Rest up, keep up with the nourishment, your kids will be fine & you will start feeling stronger very soon - I really do believe that.xx
Wow, things sure happen fast ... I was wondering how it went from the e-bike to now. You two are such loving parents and a great family . Well, follow your instinks with your children , there is no easy way and to be honest is the best . God bless you all I love you friend, family 🙏🏻😘🤗
Rubbish. It is pure instinct and intelligence, that tells one that it is never healthy for children to be upset and crying about their mother. They want their mother home, and I would fight to make that happen.
@@tiggy4750 What do you mean fight for it? If you are sick, you really can't fight for anyone, but for yourself.
@@josephdahdouh2725 She has a husband who can do the fighting and be her advocate, as the husband does during childbirth....protects and advocates.
You look so much better then you did a few days ago
She has great color to her skin!
She does look so much better *than* she did a few days ago. For sure! ❤
I’ve never seen a person like Kyle. He is such an amazing individual. Very hard to watch someone you love go through this horrible disease. Must be very difficult for him, they are very young and vibrant. It’s really not the way things should be. I just hope she beats this. Hard for Jenny because she’s in constant worry for her children. She’s a fighter for certain , amazing person.
You look a lot better Jenny. We are all here for you. I feel so happy seeing you both, I’m keeping my fingers recrossed that it won’t be too long before you are home. I know it’s hard not seeing the children but I think it would be better seeing the two of them together when you get home. Talk to them as much as you can on your phone. My thoughts are with you all. You’re in my prayers each evening. Much love to you all. June xx
Hello Jenny. We are 37 years past my husband's serious illness that had him in hospital for 6+ weeks. 2 major surgeries, 4 weeks in ICU. Our sons were 4 and a newborn. The boys were with family so I could be with my husband everyday. I had forgotten how hard this was until I just saw the two of you today. We did get through it. I remember stopping at the hospital gift shop every night to buy the 4 yr old something from daddy. Gum, chocolate, little things, but it was from daddy. After about 6 weeks, though, our son told me he was going with me to see his daddy, and got into the car. I understood. Yes you will see your daddy, no matter what. In we went to the hospital, and hand in hand into my husband's room. He was the happiest little boy when he saw his dad! No trouble from staff. My husband was released soon after that visit. We did get back to normal, it took a little time. The boys were okay. ❤
I know you blessed! You are right , we still put one foot in front of the other. He went through a lot, bless his heart. My heart goes out to theses two kids! Such a sweet family! God bless them and you!
I wanted to Thank you Jenny and Kyle for sharing your story. My husband has been going through pretty much the same treatments you are. He has had the plural effusions, non smoking lung cancer and brain metastasis. He doesn’t want to tell me much about what he’s going through. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and it helps me understand and be patient. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong Beautiful Spirits ❤
Prayers
I'm so sorry
Jenny I have been praying for you and your sweet family for months but just subscribed!!! ❤
I worked as an oncology nurse in the ‘70’s at MD Anderson &I met many courageous people. You are amazing and your children should be able to visit. I have prayed for you & your family. Keep the positive spirit. Many strides have been made since I worked with cancer patients. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Bless all the nurses...and all caretakers.
You definitely sound better Jenny. Voice is stronger, and you’re moving your head more freely. Hopefully things keep improving.
I agree. Looks stronger. Color is good and sounding better.
@@melissakuipers7034. I have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer Adenocarcinoma. And no pain meds 😡.. so my primary care physician ordered a hospice kind of like for me add my insurance company has it said if I’m getting hospice and they have it approved my pain medicine😡
Praying 🙏🏽Jenny and Family
@GODS Child That is not good an insurance Co won't pay for your meds unless in hospice. So they want to pay for meds and hospice instead of meds. They never make sense with their decisions. Don't figure.
Prayers are coming fast and furious for you beautiful lady! Rest and know that God’s got you! Praying daily for you and your family that cancer is taken out of your body! Gods got you and we got you! 💗 from Maine.
I have never commented before, but just wanted to share this...
I had a close family member in the hospital with cancer, and my youngest child was technically too young to visit this person. It was really difficult for the both of them.
We did the outside visits. We basically had to demand them. At first the staff was resistant (but couldn't give a great reason) but they finally agreed. The doctors couldn't get over how much it helped the patient - both seeing the young person AND the fresh air.
I hope you can work it out, if that is what you decide is best for your sweet kiddos.
Sending you lots of love and healing thoughts.❤️❤️❤️
100% agree. Jen is plenty looking well enough to see Winnie even if for a short visit so it doesn't take it out of her. I think Winnie NEEDS it at the moment😢
Bless you and your precious family and may you be home very soon to your sweet babies🙏🏻❤️
I’ve only been recently following your story , but I’ve caught up quick on all your videos. Just want to say how beautiful you and your family are very strong and inspiring with your strong positive outlook. All my prays to you and your family. All the way from Adelaide Australia ❤
I thinks the kids should visit. Definitely
Praying for you Jen that God is with you to help with your illness and with all the hard decisions you both have to make. 🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
Back in 1970, when I was eight years old, my mother was treated for cancer and she’ll be turning 100 years old this September. Back then it was customary for children to be shut out of any communication so no one ever asked me how I felt, I was not permitted to visit my mother for months and no one provided any form of psychological support. As a child, I was literally sick with terror every single day. All around me were adults with sad faces whispering things and I was temporarily sent to live with another family as my old fashioned father did not participate in child care beyond being the financial provider. Over 50 years have passed and I still get flashbacks of the sickly feelings I had back then. It’s just sooo wonderful to see how inclusive and supportive you both are toward your children in spite of your own ongoing suffering. I hope your children have access to a child therapist experienced in helping children identify and express their feelings. I think it would be wonderful for the children if you could spend some time sitting outside with them. We only see the tip of the iceberg with children’s feelings as they lack skills for self expression. Thank heavens, that unlike in my childhood, there now are great child specific therapies. Wishing you the best from Canada.
That is so true, my Dad very suddenly died at work from an unexpected cardiac arrest. I was 8 years old and no one really talked to me about how I felt and or how I was hurting. It was 1955 and I guess they didn’t think of that then. One of my fears was if my Dad could die that suddenly then maybe my Mom will too and I will be an orphan, and such. I’m so glad they are both so thoughtful of the kid’s’ emotional well being through all of this ❤
So sorry you went thru that, sadly my mother went thru your experience, no thought for the children...her mother had cancer, no child visits..then one day out of the blue her teacher (primary school) just said..." you can go home early your mums dead" ...as the eldest of six siblings she was told to break the news to them.
She's 96 now and still stresses over the ordeal. Thankgoodness times have changed. Blessings to all ❤❤❤
@@wendybenton9762 How awful for your poor Mum! Our mum died in 1975 when I was 12 - same thing - there one day gone the next! I turn 60 soon and have never recovered from the sense of loss and shock.

Dear Jenny, I have been following your channel for a while now and I want to tell you that you are such an inspiration. Your bravery is astonishing.
So happy that you not in much pain chuck - I want to know yr cancer is NOT progressing please God!! You deserve as normal a life as possible with yr family darling. I don't know you but been following you and you seem lovely. You got this!! ❤❤
Praying for your healing God bless you and your family❤
Darling girl...
We are STILL holding your hands gently and looking forward to you going home to the little apples 🍎🍏
Kyle is doing you proud and no one could love you and care for you more than he - nice work Kyle 👏👍
I was watching Kyle riding his new bicycle yesterday that he got for Fathers Day - sooo funny he was like a little boy and full of tigger bounce. So deserved.
Keep up the good work Jen .
We are here for you always....
Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx
So sweet!
I'm praying for you! I've been fighting stage 4 breast cancer for 5 years, so I definitely know the hurt of being in the hospital away from your babies. It's the worst. When I was in ICU waiting for brain surgery, my sweet nurse got it approved from her supervisor to let my kids come visit me for two hours. They literally snuck my kids into ICU. It was such a blessing! It never hurts to ask. I'm praying for healing for you and also that you can see your sweet kids...praying God will open that door for you!
So sorry you are going through this ❤ keep fighting!
"I'll take a city of hope's finest breakfast" aw Kyle, you're such a gem. You both are such precious people. Love you.
Jenny, I'm so glad to hear the fluid has decreased!! I'm really glad to hear your pain is more under control ❤. I'm a medically retired Oncology RN and I just am so amazed at how strong you are, you should be proud of your incredible resilience. Sending prayers and much love ❤ 🙏🏼🤗
So happy there was no pain at the last drainage, big win! I think the idea of getting to spend even a few minutes outside with Winnie and Ellis is a great idea. Love and hugs.
Dear Jenny thank you for this update. I have grown to sincerely care for you and your family and you are in thoughts and my prayers every day.
Same - a genuinely lovely family. 🥰
I think you’re right to wait to see them together for all of the reasons you gave. Outside visit sounds great!
You have become our friend, Jenny. Though we can't reach out and touch you we are all here in spirit praying for the best for all of your family. I'm not a church-goer but I'm a believer in God's infinite wisdom, I believe he will guide you through this dark period of time providing you with strength to handle all that comes at you. And you and Kyle are wise parents. You came up with the best possible solution to seeing your kiddos. I hope the plan works out. Seeing your kids with give you the burst of energy you need to heal and get home. Keep on keeping on girl!
I agree that letting Ellis visit would create a difficult situation between him and his sister. Siblings do share most everything and keeping it a secret would very hard for Ellis to do. Pursue the idea of being able to meet up with your kids for a short while outside. That would be so terrific for them! They really need that at this stage of the game…. and so do you! I hope that the hospital rules will allow that. 🤞Get well soon Jenny! Love and prayers! 🥰💕
Isn't it better to ask him of he wants to ser his min? He seems old enough to make the decision himself. They could tell Winnie she's too young, though to me that seems bit cruel, I'm quessing it's the hospital regulations but children that young need to ser their patents so inom feels cruel by the hospital to not let her visit too because of her age(of course maybe not a good idea of you're too sick but when you feel better). But best would be if both could visit outside, okay I don't know how long the hospital stay will be but of it will be very long then I think it's more important that they can visit heir mother regularly children often understand more than you think, they have guestions and worries about what is going on but att the same time you know your kids and what would be best for them individuelly.
@@teijaflink2226 No, they both go or none.
@@edda682agree
Like the idea of seeing the kids outside for a short visit. What about giving each child a handkerchief that smells like you- with the cologne you usually wear, etc. They can put in their pillowcase. 😀💕😀💕😀💕🙏🙏🙏
You are looking better and sounding better. I hope you get to go home and spend time with your kids but getting the rest you need too.
I love the idea of going outside and meeting with the kids. Also, a bit of sunshine might make Jenny feel so good.
I can tell that your and Kyle’s love is one that transcends all time. I believe the two of you have been together many, many lifetimes. It is profound! And your family one that many aspire to be, or even pretend to be. You guys are the real deal and I am so grateful to be part of your RUclips family! You are so open, kind and sincere that it is easy to feel connected to all of you, and all of us. It is such a gift that you have given us thank you!
I am praying and holding space for you as you get stronger and feel better. ❤
You look so much better Jenny! Kyle & you are adorable together...how blessed you two are. Good news about less draining. Looks like you will be home soon. Hang in dear Jenny...we are with you always!!
❤️🌼❤️🌺❤️!!
Ciao! Vi scrivo dall'Italia, per la prima volta commento un video in vita mia, ma voi due, singolarmente e come coppia di genitori, siete di una rarità incredibile. Tu Jenny sei vitale e profonda, Kyle è il tuo sostegno ma contemporaneamente tu sei il suo, mi stupite per come siete in grado di affrontare ed elaborare tutto quello che vi sta capitando... La vostra capacità di resilienza è un grande spunto di riflessione per me. Credo che stiate insegnando molto a tanti. Siamo geograficamente lontani, lo siamo anche culturalmente e forse anche per questo vi stimo profondamente. Vi auguro il meglio, davvero.
Oh, what a beautiful comment. Let me translate ❤.
Hi! I'm writing from Italy, commenting on a video for the first time in my life, but you two, both individually and as a parenting team, are of incredibly rare character.
You Jenny carry both depth and vitality, Kyle is your support but at the same time you are his, it shocks me what you are able to confront despite everything that is happening to you. Your capacity for resilience is a inspiration for self-reflection for me. I believe you two are teaching a great deal to many people. We are geographically very far apart, and culturally as well, and perhaps it is also for this reason that I hold you in such high esteem.
I wish you the best, truly.
Bel commento! Sono d'accordo.
I do feel your voice is stronger. Hopefully you can go home soon. Hugs and prayers! ❤
These short updates are precious to us! You look so much better! You have a prayer circle of thousands. We all love you, Kyle & the kids. Your entire family is so special! ❤❤
Great idea about talking to the doctor, nurses, and social worker. If you feel strongly about it, a visit with your children may really help you all! Sometimes what children imagine is much worse than reality. Have something fun planned for them to do after the visit is over so it’ll be easier for them to leave.
You’ll make the right decision- I have no doubt! Praying for you and I like the updates! 🙏🏻❤
Yes all of this! The kids can make cards/decorations for your room, help them know it isn’t as scary as they imagined and when you FaceTime they can see their decorations cheering you up 😊
So glad the catheter is helping you! You sound and look better! I’ve been praying for you and your family. 🎉
So happy to see a new video! I'm glad your pain has lessened and hopefully you will be home soon. I loved, loved your gift to Kyle!! He deserves something special.
You are doing soooo much better than the last blog. What a difference.
Prayer is a powerful thing, not to mention keeping positive. Keep that smile going.
You and Kyle are a wonderful team. Being so loved is strong meds!
Oh, Jenny! You look so much better in this video! Thank you Jesus for prayers answered and easing some pain. We praise You, Lord! I think the best medicine for your whole family would be fresh air and togetherness outside at the hospital! That sounds like an amazing gift for Kyle on Father’s Day! You all remain in my prayers!
Kyle, I feel so bad for you. I know exactly what it feels like to be the caregiver for everyone and I'm sure you're exhausted. You are an amazing person and I understand how heavy all of this is on you. I'm sorry you're going through this and I'm praying for all of you. Try to have a great Father's Day, please do something fun for yourself, you NEED to.
Ride his new E-Bike early Father’s Day gift! 🧡🚲 🧡
Marybeth is right on. Kyle,You need to get some rest and go to a favorite place, to let your emotions go into hiding. This is my second time as a full time caregiver, and the stress is overwhelming. You need to find a safe spot in your mind, to retreat to.. your body has less fighting power , during this time,to overcome anything that might cause you to be real sick. It’s hard, I’m still taking care of my husband. 2 years now, with heart attack, stroke, and vascular dementia. Please let your family help you, it’s a godsend. My kids, can’t be bothered. Accept the love and help, you will have Jenny and the kids to love and cherish for a long time! Stay mental, and physically healthy. Love you all❤️❤️❤️
I second this. I feel so bad for Kyle. He has to do so much! 😢 the whole situation is so hard for them both. Big hugs to them and lots of 🙏🏻
@@cathythomas298 I am so sorry your kids won't be bothered to help. I understand. It seems like kids now a days are so selfish which is sad when it comes to us parents needing help.
@heidiricks9856 that's what spouses do. I don't think Kyle feels "it's all on him." They do have a lot of family and friends' 14:35 support. They are a couple who work together as one and they communicate their feelings, good or bad. That's big. Not a lot of couples have that kind of closeness. Praying for Jenny and her family. Cancer is the devil. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
From a fellow cancer warrior, please allow me to share my father's story. When he was 19 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He was sent to a sanatorium to be isolated because tuberculosis was so contagious. His condition became so dire they told him he would either need portions of both lungs removed or try experimental medication. Thank God he choose the medication. He was one of the first patients to receive the cure. Keep fighting Jenny,(I know you will) because you never know what discovery is around the corner. Also if there is such a thing as soulmates it's Kyle and you. So glad you found each other. God bless you and your beautiful family.❤
Every time I watch your videos, I say a prayer for you Jenny! May the Great I AM, the Creator who made every cell and tissue in your body restore your health. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirt and cancer has no place in it. Receive your healing in Jesus name. Amen!
@@BGiseleCarter and Amen!!
I’m a great grandma, almost 75, and I love seeing the videos of your sweet family and of you two as a couple. I pray that they find a good treatment fit for you Jenny. You have suffered terribly thru trial and error with these treatments and I pray that a successful treatment plan is developed for you and that the cancer is defeated soon. I’m certainly praying as well for God’s healing power to put an end to this disease and your sweet family can live happily ever after. 🥰
There is such a big difference in care when you don’t rely on government/free insurance healthcare. Watching your video and another RUclipsr who is going through a similar situation. Wow, you’re blessed. Stay strong! Continued prayers.
Prayers are working. You look beautiful. Your color is great, your voice is getting stronger. So proud of you and Kyle.
You guys are such warriors.
When my grandmother was sick with cancer and in the hospital, they bought her down to see us in the lobby because my brother wasn’t old enough to visit. That was in 1967. I’m glad we got to see her together. Praying for you every day. 🙏
In 1966 when my brother had a brain tumor removed I was 6 the dr. Snuck me in to see him. I was so anxious. after I saw him i was better.
Congrats on your new bike,love it 👏👏👏💕💕happy father’s day
I thought it would be nice if the hospital had a little family room where they could visit for a short time. The hospital is filled with cancer patients. So everyone that has kids is going through the same exact thing if the kids are small.
Hope you have a better day you look better
Jenny, I am so relieved to see you alert, verbal and not in so much pain. I am praying for you every day.
Ask the hospital or a therapist if there are books that would help with the children. Im sure they would love to hear your voice reading them a bedtime story. Lots of prayers for you Jenny and Kyle and the little kiddos. 🤍🙏🕯
Hang in there guys !!!
Sending Prayers and Support!!!!!
Wish I could make it all disappear for you Both !!!❤
You can't, I can't, but God can! ❤
Jenny, it is such a difficult decision about the children and being a children’s bereavement therapist, I can honestly share that you and Kyle are the best judges of what to do. Listen to your heart, it will tell you what to do . There are a couple ways you can go but again you know the children best and if you think you’re going to be out of the hospital soon, then hang in there and do your visits virtually or if the doctor allows them to come outside. Overall, it will be less stress for you, and that is important! so wonderful that Kyle can be there with you, and my prayers are daily that you are home soon and feeling better. Hugs!
Hi! After watching this video, and with them talking about the kids feelings, etc. I wondered in my mind if the kids should be going to counseling. Sounds like you’re a therapist, what would be your thought on this?
It would be cool if the hospital had something for children of the hospitalized parent. Or maybe the kids could go with when Kyle goes to his counseling session. I don’t know. It’s just a thought that I had after watching this one. Thanks for listening. ❤❤❤
Your vegan diet is working against you right now! Pure protein in meat is sooo important! I had emergency surgery and was a vegetarian for years prior. Lean beef provides iron. Chicken or eggs provide B12! Certain Fish offers Omega 3s. Ask a registered dietician for advice while you are in the hospital. This is life or death! Eat right! Build up your strength & then be a vegetarian but STOP EATING FAKE MEAT & SOY! I promise your weird diet is NOT helping you!
When my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I had a really hard time accepting what was happening. Mentally I knew , but was emotionally unprepared to handle it. I went to see a therapist, and it did help. For various reasons I stopped going, thinking of starting back soon. I can only imagine how hard it must be for children.
Thank you for the update, we have been thinking about you, big hugs xxx❤
Thinking of u guys every day
These two make a great team. I love their love for each other. Kyle is the sweetest guy, Jenny is so kind. Sending my thoughts and prayers ❤
Yay for no-pain drainage and...no drainage! Also yay for discontinuing a treatment that was wrecking your body with MULTIPLE futher options! Onward and upward! Also, yes; Kyle needs a shirt that says "Main Drainer" 😃. You guys are honestly incredible. ❤
Definitely ask the doctors to allow you to visit with your kids. They might make a special allowance for a short visit this weekend. It definitely makes a big difference mentally.
I’m impressed at your resilience Jenny 👐🏻. Nurse Kyle is certainly is right there by your side, he’s awesome!
Keep up the good work you two, I’m cheering you on!!
She is a beautiful brave woman. This family is amazing ❤
I am so very happy to see that you are not in a lot of pain….good news to hear the fluid is getting less and less each time….Kyle you are an amazing husband and dad…..Happy Fathers Day to you…..thank you for taking care of our Jenny! Love and hugs to you all…..
So sorry that you are having such a rough time. I hope you are soon able to go home and be together as a family. I feel your distress.
Jenny, guys, now youtube offered me to watch a video from five years ago about Jennya's father, who became a pensioner. And congratulations from his family. What a pleasure and delight it is to see everyone young and healthy!
Jenny, thanks to you, your videos, you left a memory of your father when he became a pensioner. These are very interesting memories that will remain in your family for a long time
I still can’t believe you are gone Jenny. I miss seeing and hearing from you already. You had the most kind positive attitude even through all the pain and discomfort. Praying for strength and comfort for Kyle, Ellis, Winnie and family while they navigate through this huge loss. God speed Jenny. ❤️🙏🏼
Hello Jenny, your friend from SA, Today is Saturday here and the time is 6.00pm. I am preparing the Father's day meal for tomorrow because it will be Fathers day. My husband was diagnosed with Fibroses of the Lungs 18 months ago and given a life span of 3 years and half of that is gone. Tomorrow some of my family will be here for lunch celebrating Fathers day with us and some will not see the importance of spending precious time with their father because it could be the last Fathers day so I so admire your family and pray that God grant you many more years together because life has so many challenges and you and Kyle seem to have it all together, stay strong dearest Jenny and know God loves you and yours. Joan. ❤❤
sending prayers to you and your family hugs from Surrey BC 🇨🇦
I can only imagine how Jenny feels missing her children and home, with being ill, it's heartbreaking. But to hear Kyle speak on being broken and emotional really got to me. I feel bad for the kids. They must really miss their mommy and daddy even thought they are having a good time with others. My thoughts and prayers are with this family!! I hope Jenny obtains her strength back and can go home very soon❤. God bless you❤️❤️🙏🙏
I think children resilient. They do miss you but they are with great people and being entertained. ❤️❤️❤️
10/10 recommend getting a tripod with bendy legs so you can hold it up easier, set it up to rest on your knees, wrap it around say the bedrails or say a porch rail, etc. 2nd best is a selfie stick. It really does help you be able to hold it up and keep the weight on the stick which can rest on your legs or the bottom resting on your hip. I'm glad you're rallying and seeing improvements! I'm keeping all of you, your family, and your friends in my prayers. Much love from Michigan!
I think Winnie might be too young to understand if you allowed Ellis to visit, but not her. You are their parents though and I know you will make the right decision for you and your family. FaceTime/zoom might be the way forward for now, fingers crossed you will be home soon. I know I don’t know you in reality, but I feel invested in your journey and look forward to seeing your videos. Yours and Kyle’s strong love for each other shines through. When I was going through cancer treatment, my mantra was”every cloud had a silver lining”.
You are so lucky to have each other, many people fight this dreadful illness with no one to support them. You are each others silver lining.
As always, sending huge positive vibes from the UK 🇬🇧💕🤗🙏
I think you and Kyle are the most amazing couple….truly Jenny, documenting your cancer journey with your loving husband is blessing so many people ~ I have you on my prayer list and consider it such a privilege to stand in the gap for you Jenny, Kyle and your precious children 🙏✝️🙏
~GOD BLESS~
god bless?
You are so lucky to have such a great support system, both family and friends.
I too have stage four metastatic cancer in pretty much all my major organs and have no family.
I’m sorry for the pain and suffering you’re going through.
Everyone with this horrible disease has their own path to follow and I’m glad I found your channel.😉
I’m so sorry you have little support what a strong person you must be ❤️❤️
Praying for you. ❤
Sending you support and prayers from Alberta
Support and prayers from Ohio. Do you have friends that stop by?
Hi there, being unwell and alone is no fun. I hope that you have a local cancer charity that can find someone to visit with you. There are lots of wonderful volunteers who would love to spend time with you. If you can’t find one online perhaps you could ask your healthcare providers to see if they can find an organisation for you that could help you out. Having someone to talk to makes life so much easier.
All best x
Jenny, Even relationships born online can be very impactful and real. I consider you a friend and am often thinking of you and your family. You are always in my prayers.
Oh dear Jenny and Kyle, what an amazing strong and brave couple you are. Thank you for being so open about this long and hard journey you are on. May Heavenly Father bless and comfort you all as a family through this trial.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.❤❤
I can’t believe that the hospital say that Winnie is too young! I could understand it if she was an only child, but she’s not and both of them should be allowed to visit their mummy for cuddles and, more importantly, to put their minds at ease a little. You sound better than the last video, even though you may not feel it! Sending loving positive thoughts to you and all your family xx
I got a feeling its so there not around all that equipment and staff working. Where i work its stressful if people come with small kids that dont always behave. 😊
@@sammyb8152 I totally get that. Perhaps there’s a family room that they can all use? I do hope so as those wee ones are missing their mummy so much and vice versa.
My husband brought my mini-poodle in a gym bag to see me in the hospital! What’s the rule on little dogs?
@@Serenitynow958 my then husband brought our dog to the hospital when I had our first son. It was in the days where you stayed in hospital for 5 days to have plenty of support! The midwives actively encouraged it so that our dog could form some sort of a bond with our baby and this continued when we got home.
I must tell you sweet Jenny that I am impressed by your hospital gown. It is so much better than the standard issue.😅 Your adorable Kyle is always thinking about things you would like to give you some comfort while confined. Your loving family will give Ellis and Winnie loving hugs and kisses while you just concentrate on feeling better. With a hubby who adores you, all will be okay. Prayers each night for you.❤❤❤❤
Seeing the odd smile and Jenny sparkle back is so wonderful
Sometimes I think hospitals have hurtful rules. What in the world is so different about a 3 yr old vs a 7 yr old? And there is nothing as important when a parent is hospitalized than to be with their children. Forget the dumb ole germs. IMO, separation is more harmful that silly little germs. Your children (both) need a hug from mama. There is no better healing agent. My childhood feels like it was yesterday and I would have just been crushed without seeing my mama and having her hugs. Do whatever you can to see your darlings. You need it! Your children need it! It just brings tears to my eyes that the hospital mandates no visitation for your children. I will pray for all of you and that the doors be opened.
I’m sorry that you are still sick in the hospital, Jenny. I think it’s great that Kyle gets to spend the night with you. Have a great date night!
Jenny, that is a wonderful idea to see if you could go outside to see Ellis & Winnie. I am keeping you and Kyle and kids in my prayers every day. And I think it’s nice that you think of us as your friends and family. I certainly think of you that way even though it seems weird since I have never met you, but I think of you daily and keep y’all in my prayers. ❤️🤗🙏
Ask the nurse manager on your unit if they will allow a visit with both kids. Given the illness they may allow a special visit. Asking to go outside is another good idea. Your very honest with your kids maybe ask them how they would feel. Get better soon.
I haven’t even watched the full video yet,but feel astounded that the system will not allow Winnie in to see you,to me that is unbelievable.
What is the reasoning behind this “rule”. Some compassion is needed
I’m not sure what the regulations are here in NZ,but I’ve not heard of this happening here in this day and age.
Love and best wishes to you all.
😘😘
Jenny, you look and sound so much better. Whatever decision you make about Winnie ❤ and Ellis ❤ will be the right one. We love you, Jenny!!! ❤ Kyle, you're such a love. ❤
I feel for all of you so badly. I know how traumatic it is, all of it from having cancer to an ambulance ride to a long stay in the hospital and missing your children like crazy. It's a lot. I commend both of you for handling everything so beautifully. You going outside for some fresh air and a visit from your children is exactly what you need right now. Thank you for keeping us posted on your health like you do it means so much because we all care so much for you. We're praying 🙏 every day for your family.
I’m a nurse. Do the bench visits I love that idea. Have a little picnic and enjoy the summer weather. I pray for peace and healing for you both 💕
Answer to prayer...thank You Lord for hearing all the prayer for Jenny..one step at a time
It’s a wonderful relief to see and hear you doing so much better! Yay ambulance staff and City of Hope Team, and yay Jenny
👏 👏👏 🤗💖
I sent major healing yesterday (Friday 16th) like a healing energy whirlpool around the cancer. Will add to it everyday, seemed like it helped 😃🙏🏻💗
Jenny and Kyle,
The very best solution would be for the doctors to give an all clear for a visit right outside the hospital. Letting Ellis visit without Winnie will break both of their hearts. You may have to wait until you’re home to have a reunion. In the meantime, you should FaceTime as often as possible. There will be tears, but if they can at least see you and talk to you, that should help to calm their sweet little hearts.
In the meantime, we are probably ALL praying for you!
Sending love across the miles from Hammond, Louisiana! 💕🌷💕
Happy Father’s Day, Kyle. You’re the best!!
Jenny you seem to be breathing easier and not as flushed in the face. You are in hospital to learn how to deal with these new steps. Hopefully this drainage will get easier. Our bodies need time to get used to changes. Im so glad you have each other to get through this.
When I was 21 with a baby I became a statistic and had AFIB. I was so afraid of losing my life with a baby. My life love was amazing through the entire. I don't remember how many times I've had my heart shocked. My point for sharing this is. I'm now 60 and lived my life with doctors, new meds, but I lived.
I lived to see grandchildren. If it seems hopeless it's not. Pray and seek God because he hears our prayers. Jenny I feel like I know you. I cry with you I love you honey and I pray for you. God is able
It is so wonderful to see you two. You look beautiful Jenny. Great news less pain, less fluid. Still praying for you. Thank you for up dayeing us. Kyle your amazing. Love and prayers for you both, kids and family.💓🌞📿
Jenny I was so pleased to see you looking better and sounding better, your voice seems much stronger. I’m glad you two get to spend a date night together
Hello Jenny and Kyle. As everyone has said, you are amazing parents. You will make the right decisions. My two cents as a child who was passed to relatives because my mother was in the hospital a lot is to try to have that bench visit outside. The ache of missing "mommy" is a strong one. I think your kiddos will treasure the memory of it. Sending love and hugs to all of you.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
You two lovebirds are so sweet!! This may sound weird, but when I see you have a new video out, I get so excited!! I enjoy watching you both (and kiddos when on) so much... more than any tv show I've ever watched!! Thank you for showing us and letting us be a part of your journey with you and Kyle for the good, bad, and ugly that cancer is... CANCER SUCKS!! And Jenny, I don't know anyone who looks as pretty as you even as you lay in a hospital bed!!
😊🎉❤🎉😊
*feel better!!
❤❤❤
Continue to pray for better pain management,and for your medical team to know how to continue to help you.
Continue to pray for your family and extra prayers for your husband and kids
Absolute prayers Jenny and Kyle. You both are such a lovely couple. I can see the sadness in your faces but hold on Jenny, you will gather more strength each day. Cancer is hard to speak about these days as my daughter will be having good days and bad days as well. You two don't know how much this breaks me dealing with my daughter and seeing you not feeling well but by the grace of God, he is going to get you better so you can be home with your babies. Personally in my opinion, I would see if there is another way for Ellis and Winnie both to see you at the same time. Hopefully it can be an outside thing. I hope you two can work that out for all of you. Jenny, I'm praying hard for you, Kyle and your babies along with my daughter. Get rest and think positive thoughts that this is just a bump in the road along with cancer. Kyle, I pray for strength, faith, hope and peace for you going through this with Jenny. You are a fantastic guy. Who wouldn't want you to be near someone's side when they are sick? Both of you are blessed having each other. Many prayers going up for you all!!! Hugs and love.❤
I watch pretty much every video and I usually don't comment. Every video you put out is amazing with all the information and each experience you go through. It's so amazing that you're open and honest and real.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease 17 years ago. I got so sick with a flare that hospitalized me for a month . I went down to 75 lb s and eventually lost most of my hair. I was so worried about how it was going to affect my children. But a wise lady once told me. That even as small as they are and how sad it may be at times for them, experiencing me being sick. These experiences will teach them things early on. To be brave, helpful, and mature in some things the other children may not experience. For the better! Time has gone by and I have healed for the most part. Sometimes it is a struggle, but something I deal with. But to see how my children are growing and thriving in the midst of my illness brings me comfort. I see similarities in your kids to mine. And once y'all come through this with them, they're going to do amazing!!
We will continue to pray to Jesus for healing. This is the hope as a Believer in Jesus that I have no matter what diagnosis the doctors may give me.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:16, 17
Our spirit man lives for eternity. And I'm so looking forward to seeing my loved ones and some of my children who have passed before me. And know that when we walk with Jesus and live for Him in this life, we are going to be in heaven with Him for eternity. In a perfect body, in a perfect world, with our amazing Creator❤
You can do this precious Jenny!!
I’ve been praying for you (and your husband) the past few times your videos have come across my feed. My 40 years young husband has this diagnosis too…we get what you’re going through-sending you love and God’s peace from the northwest 💛
Good morning, Jenny. It’s noon (EST). Even when there’s no video, I continue to keep you in my prayers and think of you and Kyle and the kids as I go through my day.
You’re both such thoughtful, kind parents- whatever you decide for Ellis and Winnie will work out fine. 💕💕💕💕
Thanks for the update. Jenny, you are sounding better today. I have mixed feelings about the children visiting you in the hospital. I do believe Winnie would be upset if Ellis was able to visit and she wasn't. When I was 5 years old I visited my mother in the hospital while she was recovering from surgery and I burst into tears when I saw her. She was hooked up to all sorts of I/V's and I was terrified to see her like that. She then started crying. I remember the whole experience and it was not fun. I think if you were able to meet them outside on a bench that might be better. But that all depends on your doctor and the risks of you being outdoors. Thank goodness we live in a world where Facetime is available.
Hi Jenny your very first video came across my feed about your cancer and I’ve been following you since. My heart is breaking for you that you have to be in the hospital right now. You have an amazing support system around you and you seem very optimistic. And let me tell you from my experience that’s everything! I never blamed God for my cancer. Diagnosed almost 20 years ago. I leaned on Him ❤️ I have three daughters and they were very young at the time. I questioned a lot of the things you’re questioning right now. Wanting to do what’s right and make the right decisions by them. I really think a little outing outside would be a wonderful idea. As long as your team agrees with that. I am praying for strength and healing 🙏🏼
Kyle, you’re such a wonderful, loving, giving, husband. I can’t imagine how tough it’s been on you to watch Jenny go through all this. I’ll be keeping both of you in my heart and in my prayers. You are both amazing and inspiring to us.
Jenny, you look much better. Prayers continue for you and family.
My brother suffered a terrible accident two years ago, he fell 22 feet sustaining a fractured back and shattered leg. I was in the ER with him making decisions, he was on a ventilator. His wife was in Greece.. but anyway. The hospital was still doing COVID restrictions, just one visitor a day. His wife and my mom rotated days to be with him, it was really hard because the last I saw him in the hospital was going into ICU unresponsive and on the vent. When he was able to sit in a stroke chair, he got the ok to go outside. After a month I was finally able to see him. If you get the ok to go outside, this will be wonderful for your children.. even if it’s ten minutes. I know I felt so much better seeing him. FaceTime just isn’t in person time. My thoughts are with you on this journey. You guys are amazing ❤️
Hi Jenny, I am always praying for your healing and comfort. That sounds like a great idea to have an outdoor visit with Winnie and Ellis so you can all four be together. So glad the catheter is working out and you had less pain today when the fluid was drained. You have such a wonderful family and you are all doing a great job ☺️
Jenny you are making progress! It’s very noticeable that your body is recovering from the culmination of that last treatment. You got on your feet, your port and draining have not stayed at a “10”!! That’s awesome plus your pain seems better controlled. These aspects are huge successes. Kyle is wonderful communicating and sharing his thoughts & feelings with you. Jenny you provide a safe & open environment to exchange your feelings together. Thank you for sharing your emotions, feelings, experiences & thoughts on so many aspects you are navigating individually & collectively ❣️ Jenny you were so intuitive about celebrating Kyle w/the E-bike!! It feels like you did celebrate Father’s Day . Your dad had fun time w/you assembling the bike & riding it too! That was a beautiful daddy/daughter time/experience. Your dad must’ve felt valued & loved by being involved in that while also having that precious time with you. Jenny, the kids & you celebrated Kyle w/the bike surprise and that was a Fathers Day present that you all enjoyed together! You are closer to being home than yesterday even, so you deserve to celebrate the improvements, the love that buoys you two in the challenges of what preferred positive things isn’t happening YET (meaning it’s on the way). How glorious when your hard work & efforts as the incredible duo you two are yield the best possible outcomes!! The kids are receiving your love and the support team of helpers are an extension of you which is fantastic for them too. You’re doing AWESOME ❣️🤗🙏🙏🙏 for continued strength & positive steps forward.
We miss you too Jenny. Thank you for the update. We do worry about you. You have been through so much. Lovely that Kyle can be with you tonight. The candles and flowers are lovely.
I hope the draining continues to be pain free for you. I also hope you are able to see both your dear children soon. Keep getting stronger every day. 🌼
I cant believe how Kyle is such a great and devoted husband. your so blessed to have him as a husband. Jenny your so lucky 🍀, if nothing eles Kyle is by your side..and its so special and so needed this man deserves a metal for his unswering devotion. Hope U get better.
How lovely of you to take the trouble to update us on your progress so frequently , thank you Jenny, I really have been praying for you a lot recently and have to say you do seem a little chirpier today🥰,
It’s always hard to decide what’s best when put in a situation like u are with the children but I think I’d just keep them doing what they are doing and FaceTime them, Winnie won’t really understand why her her brother is allowed and she’s not, it’s a hard one for sure.
I will be praying you begin to regain some strength so u can return home to ur babies, you are so brave, sending you lots of love and gentle hugs, love Lucy in U.K x x x🙏🌸
Jenny, we're so glad the draining went quicker and you had less pain. Kyle being by your side, is a big comfort he's so sweet. Hang in there sweetie, you'll be home soon
Maybe in the meantime, you could FaceTime the kids on your phone, if you can. 😊🌹🌹❤️🕊️🙏🙏
You are both handling this in the best possible way you can! I feel so bloody angry this is happening to you and your family!! This vlogging will help the children look back when older and understand that they were always first and foremost in your decision making. Sending all my love from across the pond 🏴 ❤ x
Sending all the love in the world ❤.
When my husband had cancer, I decided not to allow my three daughters to visit, as I didnt want them to see their dad in so much pain.
Many years later, I asked them about my decision, not to let them visit him, and they all said they were glad I did , as now, they don't have that trauma to re live.
He was also fighting for his life for a long time, and we had many emergency ambulance journeys to the hospital, so my children had to be sent to relatives. Obviously this is just my story and how I felt at that time, I'm not saying it's the right one .
I know how hard your situation is, and Kyle, I really feel for you so much, as its hard to keep everything running whilst trying to be there for the family. You are doing an amazing job, honestly you are!
I'm praying, the up coming treatments work and just to say, that even in your darkest hours, believe the treatment will work.
My husband has been cancer free for 18 years, and I know there are many new treatments out there today, than there were back then, so carry on with your positivity, you have so many of us here praying for you every day, Jenny you are such a beautiful soul 🙏 ❤ xxxxxx
🙌🏽🙏🙌🏽 God please keep families together thru difficult times. My heart goes out to all the mothers and fathers who are battling cancer. 🥹💖 God please keeps us strong during difficult times 🥹
Thank you so much for taking time out from your date night to update us. I’ve been thinking about you a lot. I’m glad they figured out how to make the draining procedure less painful. The question about Winnie is hard. It would do you so much good to see your son at least, but that’s a hard thing to ask Winnie to understand. I like your idea about meeting them outside, though that seems like logistically that might not be so easy. Still, it’d be medicine for the soul, maybe the staff will try to make it happen! I wish you a speedy recovery and homecoming.
Hang in there my sweet Jenny! You are stronger than you think! We all love you and offer our prayers that you overcome this set back and get back home to be with your family. Love, hugs and prayers! 🙏🏻♥️
As a nurse you don’t know how happy I was when you said your nurses “hi 5d each other”. THAT tells so so much to me. Your nurses care!!! Your nurses are trying their very best! Your nurse actually give a s**t!! I loved hearing that so much. Made me happy you have caring nurse, love from your nurse in Australia 😅 well I feel like I know you lol!
You should be able to take a wheelchair to the lobby and see the kids. The hospital I worked in for over 20 years was all about family because it promotes healing for everyone! I would definitely ask or tell them that you want to do this for your mental health!!
