- Have you ever had Kidney stones? Yikes! Thank you so much for your prayers and sweet messages of encouragement. Today we take you with us to the hospital for my operation. It didn't go as planned but watch to the end of the video and we will explain everything. #kidneystones #surgery
P.S. Drink your water!
So happy you’re not in pain anymore, Jennifer! The power of love and the power of prayer! Much love to you. ❤️
Stay well. Happy Thanksgiving!
Whenever I see you both in your vlogs, I realize how lucky and blessed your kids are to have you both as their parents!
I have been thinking of you waiting for your update. Thank you for letting us know as soon as you could. I am grateful you are OK.
Hai I am from India. Praying for your recovery. I'm also a grandma who is lazy in drinking water. Inspite of my doctor husband always telling me about the consequences of not drinking water. Your last video gave me motivation to drink water
So happy that this procedure is behind you and was successful. Get well soon, feel better, love you guys!
Oh, you sweet people! Thank the good Lord you are now doing great, Jennifer. My dear husband faces hernia surgery in a little over a week. There's always something, huh? Take good care and Happy Thanksgiving.
I did the same thing when I had my surgery a few weeks ago - I literally cleaned EVERY room from top to bottom and stocked my fridge with healthy snacks and cooked light meals. That way, I could recover in a clean, orderly environment when I got home and my caregivers wouldn't be burdened with cooking for me!
Prayer my friend!! No more stones! You look beautiful!!! Your hubby is a blessing!! Keeping us updated!!
Praying for you.... may you feel at peace during your surgery. Best of luck. Thinking of you from Australia. Watched all your videos and love you two. Take care xoxox
So very happy you’re feeling better! My 35 yr. old son is hooked up to pd dialysis every night for 15 hours from 8:00pm- 11:00am. He’s on the list but really needs a living donor- a Good Samaritan to step forward & give the gift of life to my son. If you’d ever consider it, I could give you the information to post. My heart is so heavy but in God I find strength & hope.
You are such a precious couple, continued prayers for healing.
Praise God All went Great !!! Thank You Lord for answering prayer !!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻✝️💟🥰
I've been watching Bonnie for years and started following you when she brought it up on her channel. Even though you two are my own parents age I feel like your values and traditions line up with those of my incredible grandparents that are no longer with us. I'm going to keep you all in my prayers and keep watching. You've brought back the spirit of my grandparents and for that I am thankful. Get well soon from Canadians living in New Jersey!
You are the two dearest people! I so enjoy watching your videos. I have had this procedure six!!! times in the last four years. I was told that once you have kidney stones, it's not unusual to get them again. I too was never a water drinker. I am now!! They tell me that the acid in lemon water helps prevent the stones from forming. I drink lots of that. Best of luck in your new journey!!
God is good. I truly believe in the power of prayer. Love and hugs.
Jennifer I am dealing with kidneys ( Kidneystones and several cyst )issues and due to covid having a very difficult time getting help before March 2021. I am so grateful you were able to get help. The Dr should of given you medicine that will keep your bladder from cramping. Your in my prayers for speedy healthy healing.😃💖💖💖
So glad to hear all this is behind you. You are “family”...along with all your children... to all of us. ❤️
Occasionally squeeze a little fresh lemon in your water, helps keep the stones “away”... Continued prayers.
Continued Prayers for You, Your hubby and Family. Asking God for complete healing of your kidneys. Guide the doctors hands and give him knowledge what to do for you that would be the best, during your surgery. Sending Hugs and Love !!! 🙏🏻✝️💟
Stay well and drink . So many more years to make memories with the family that so kindly shares their faith and life with us.
Jennifer I have heard others say the pain is just like labor pains. I wouldn't want to do that again. So happy for you to have that all behind you. As you said water and more water. I have found having the bottles is easier to remember. I have been shopping for soft casual wear for daytime. I like the blue outfit you are wearing - would you mind telling me where you found it. Not much out there like it. I enjoy your videos - we have 3 grown daughters with families much like yours. 6 grandsons and one granddaughter.. Also 3 adorable great granddaughters. We are so blessed. Take care !!!
Prayers and wishes to you both from the United Kingdom. What a lovely and wonderful couple you are ❤️
I'm so glad its done!!! You CAN'T be sick for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Feel better soon to love all those Grandbabies!
Sending love Jennifer x...yes I grew up calling blush “rouge” my grandmother told me that her mom used to take a little of the paint on the “distempered” wall!!!omg it probably contained lead 🙁
Hi from Colorado. So glad that you are feeling better after surgery. I had kidney stone removal surgery last September. Add potassium into your daily supplements. I have been kidney stone free for over a year now. Hallelujah! God bless.
So happy to hear that all is well and you are on road to a full recovery! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family!🌻🍁🍂
Oh my gosh, this is such good news. God is so good. I have increased my water in take due to your sharing your story. God bless you and your family.
Prayers and hugs. Anesthesia makes me get sick, not fun.
Oh sweet lady. So glad things are better. Please take care of yourself. I love watching you and you husband together! Praying for a quick recovery for you. Mary from Ohio
Lots of water with citrus in it. The acid breaks down the stones.
I have been drinking water with half a lemon and Braggs Appel cider vinegar with the mother every morning half an hour before my breakfast since my last kidney stone operation in 2018... I also was drinking between 2-3 liters of water. It didn’t help at all. I also took Vit K2 and other vitamins and minerals that should prevent me from getting more stones... But hey.... here I am going trough yet another kidney stone operation tomorrow 😞 There can be so many reasons for kidney stones... The food you eat, hormones, inflammations, high amount of calcium, and so forth... The best thing to do is to get the stone they take out tested for to find out which one it is that you got! And then get guided in what exactly you have to do to prevent it to come back again! That’s what I will do now in my second round of kidney stone attack!
@@user-yu3ci4sl8v Oh no! I've been doing that this time as i felt like lemon would break it down. That's what my urologist told me. I also do braggs. I hope mine stay away. My bouts were 29 years apart. Hope yours stay away after this.
@@01431 Thank you so much 🙏❤️ The info I wrote over here is correct! But you don’t do any harm in taking the lemon and Braggs Appel cider vinegar..... It’s a lot of health benefits in it even if it doesn’t help for to break down kidney stones! And sorry I forgot: The best of wishes to you too 🙏❤️ Hope you will not have any type of kidney stones in the future 🙏🍀
Hi Jennifer, I am so relieved that you have got your kidney stone sorted! My prayers have been answered! You and Chad are so strong together and it’s wonderful to see. Lots of love to you too and lots of get well wishes. 🙏❤️🇬🇧
Jennifer, I'm probably not your usual demographic but I found you one day while hunting for bread recipes and I've gotten to know you and your family. You're all precious and you are totally unique.... DRINK MORE WATER... think of yourself as a CAR!!! You need OIL and WATER!!!! xoxo
Thanks for updating us. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. God is the healer so now take it easy and let Him do His thing.
this remind me of my dad when he has kidney stone he has to do 2 operation to take out the stones, glad your feeling better😍❤
So, SO glad you're OK! Not only for your sake, having to go through such a tumultuous ordeal, but also for your kids and grandkids, especially sweet Bonnie. Hugs sent your way and prayers for more healing, no pain and a lovely holiday season.
Huge prayers to you and for a speedy recovery. Bless you both!
🥰🥰❤️love you Grandma... from a Grandma of 8 in Australia .. and a great Grandma of 1 . 🇦🇺 . 🙏🙏
I’m happy that everything went well. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Praise God and we give him all the glory! I am so happy you are feeling better, and I am praying for continued healing. You are such good, beautiful people, and God has you all in His Mighty hands!
A very blessed Thanksgiving to you, for there is MUCH to be thankful for; INDEED!
Blessings and prayers,
Vancouver, Washington State
So glad to hear the second attempt was successful🥰 Hope you’re resting and no more pain🙏🏻❤️
Jennifer......I am so happy that all is well. God bless you and take care. Your friend, Dorothy 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Absolute Truth , I had 1 kidney stone dubbed by my doctor as "The Mother of All Kidney Stones" . The pain is 10 times worst than childbirth 😳
Praise God!
Hallelujah!
Wonderful courageous girl,God is good!
Praise God,no more pain for you Jennifer,and no more sadness for your friends and family.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
So glad!😊
My symptoms were getting backed up , vomiting, fever , had to go back to the hospital the day after I came home.
Jennifer - thank you so much for your suggestion of leaving a jar on the counter for your water. I have been dutifully marking off individual glasses on a calendar and it was a pain and not especially effective. This is so much easier!
I hope you are feeling good! 💗
So glad you are not in that awful pain anymore!! Rest lots!! I go Tuesday the 24th for my stones. I love your purse too!!!
Grandma Griffin, I know how you feel when I was 18 I pass my first kidney stone and my mother said having a baby is worst, I passed them three times, but when I have my first baby at 30yrs and I told my mother lied to me because that both where the same pain and then ended up having a emergency C-section so do not believe your mother's because they fool you because both were very painful, my prayers are with you I Love your beautiful family so much❤️ God Bless you ❤️ I know that it feels like you have to pee all the time, I spent the whole time sitting on the toilet trying to pee. I Love you grandma and grandpa 💓🤣.
Wow, coming in late on this, and SO glad you are doing well. AWESOME! Better days in 2021, Lord. 🙏🏻🥰
I’m so glad it went well and that you’re feeling better.
Prying to you . I am so happy averting well . You are a wonderful person . God protect and bless you from any pain 🤲🙏🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Sending you prayers from Switzerland... you are an amazing women , you have an amazing husband and family to take care of you afterwards.Lots of love and take good care ... love you all so much 😘💕
Love you best of luck 😘🤗💕💕
We prayed for you Jennifer. Thank you for sharing with us. God is good.
Glad everything went well even though you had to wait a little longer to have the kidney stones removed.
Best news! Continued prayers for great health and happiness!
So glad everything is good and went well on the second try! Sending Blessing! Happy Thanksgiving to the whole family!
💛🍁🍊🦃🍊🍁💛
Jennifer...I know as we get older...things like this is scarey...well wishes and an speedy recovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank The Lord Jesus for this great outcome for you. I've spoke your name and He heard and knew who I spoke of I didn't know your first name so just said Mrs. Griffin! Be well and thanks for your talking about drinking the water, I also need to drink lots more. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Mary D.
Get well soon!❤️
I was in your same predicament in 1998, I had two stone that were also to big. I’m a nurse and the day I had surgery and I worked right up until time for surgery. Being the funny people I work with, they thought it would be fun to EMBARRASSING, they call me over the intercom...” Norma ,please come to the OR to have your procedure STAT” I was embarrassed beyond belief. People from all over the hospital came to wish me well. After I had my surgery I went home with a stent also. Being a nurse the dr said I could take my own stent out “have a glass of wine , take a warm bath and pull it out.” It didn’t hurt at all. So glad you are all better now.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜🇺🇸🤘🏼I still thing we could be twins, you are my soul sister.🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Glad everything went well!! I'm confused about the heart attack part, which Bonnie or Ellie also mentioned... did you have a heart attack..?
No she said she didn’t. I don’t know why Bonnie said that. They thought it might have been but then when her heart was checked it was fine and they realised it was just kidney stones. Which isn’t serious at all but obviously painful. A lot of youtubers are extremely dramatic and will exaggerate things.
@@ladyp5828 Thanks! Right, from Jennifer's videos it sounded like no heart attack, but then both Ellie and Bonnie seemed to think she had one which was confusing haha
@@TheBlissfullyDandy it is confusing. I would be inclined to believe Jenifer. As it’s her body. And I don’t think she would lie about it if she knows her daughters have both said she had one. I think Ellie and Bonnie just got confused or maybe made their videos before knowing the full story? I hope they didn’t do it for other reasons like views or just to dramatise the situation.
@@ladyp5828 Well today Bonnie said her mom's videos don't explain what really happened and she DID have a heart attack! It really doesn't seem like any of them know what actually happened!!
@@TheBlissfullyDandy I know it’s crazy. You would think they would know the full story. I am still inclined to believe Jenifer as she knows for sure what happened. She said her heart was fine and didn’t say she had a heart attack just that the doctor asked her if she had had one. It’s not good when youtubers do this. Then they never address people’s questions about it.
Been praying for you 🙏 all week! Love you so much from traverse City Michigan 💕 My whole family is praying for you!! Please keep us updated!! ❤️🙏!!
I wish I had just cried after my operation. Apparently as my anaesthesia wore off I started reciting Shakespeare.
I’d much rather recite Shakespeare. I wake up vomiting. 🤢😬
When I came awake after my heart operation I had vivid hallucinations for two days afterwards. I closed my eyes and I could see the ceiling was glowing red with red wriggling worms crawling all over the surface. Apparently the medics utilise especially powerful anaesthetics for open heart surgery, which, by the way, for those about to have CABG, was not too painful. And during recovery the nurses allow you to eat lots of good food to build your strength back up! I enjoyed that part.
Excellent news! I knew this would not get the best of you. You have strong family roots of faith and determination which you show and tell us about. Rest, enjoy the holiday season. Have a blessed day.
I recently read this: Researchers found that riding the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster at Disney World could help ease the passage of small kidney stones, according to the new study. ... The stones must travel from the kidney down the ureter and to the bladder, and then exit the body through the urethra.😂 yours is a wee bit bigger. Praying for your fast recovery ❤️
Thank you Jesus! Glad you are doing well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Engage husband in household chores. Get will soon.
Hear, hear, Bonnie! I think too many men get away with not learning household chores, because of wives that 'mother' them!
I’m a father of 4 and a husband. My wife works usually and I stay at home and baby sit the kids
@@lewism1847 you don't babysit your kids. You parent them. You are more than a babysitter and never let anyone tell you otherwise
@@elsagraupe7793 Aww Thanks! Yeah. I kinda worded that wrong. Hahah 🙈🙈
@@Toffee146 Making beds, emptying trash cans, washing dishes? Not too hard to learn.
I have been wondering how you were doing and have prayed for you so thank you for letting us know. I don't think you both understand how special you are to all of us. Just a quick little story my mom told me about my dad's kidney stones.... I was a 2 year old and mom left my new born brother and me at home with my dad while she went for groceries. When she got home she said my dad was roaring with pain, they found out he had kidney stones on both kidneys. He went through surgery and 70 years ago, they cut your back open to get to the kidneys. My dad had scars on both sides of his back from his shoulder to his waist. I am so glad they can break the stones up now. Its less trauma than before. God bless you both!
I meant to say “radishes” in your diet...... helps keep them away.
Prayer is a powerful tool and looks like it was all answered. Glad you are not in pain anymore!!
I’m so happy that everything went fine and your pain and discomfort is over. Glory be to God. I will have my kidney stone operation tomorrow and I hope it will go as smooth as yours 🙏 Wish you the best and: Stay away from kidney stones 😁🍀👍
This was such an experience for you Jennifer! Our prayers were answered, you are well and on the road of recovery. Bless you both and drink your water! Love and blessings for you and the family.
I’m praying for a quick recovery God’s with you love you grandma griffin
Dear Jennifer....I was on youtube tonight and happened to see this of you and was soooo concerned. Sooooo glad all turned out good at the end. My daughter in law suffered with kidney stones and know how painful they are. Again, very happy to see you smiling again and out of pain. Bless you. 😊😊
I have been praying for you and your health. So thankful that you are doing well. Looking forward to seeing you back in good health and posting your fun cooking, cleaning, traveling and family videos.
I am so glad you are doing well !!! God is always with us !!!!! God bless !
I thank God for a successful operation. I love this family so much.
I'm so glad you had the procedure and doing well. God is great. I'm thankful that those awful painful times are over. Praying for a complete recovery. You are so sweet. I love your videos. Love and prayers for you both. God bless!! Get plenty of rest. ❤🙏❤⚘❤🙏
Praise the Lord! So glad to hear you were finally able to get some relief!!! We have been so worried for you.
Glad you are fine. With God in your side.......he’s a miracle worker.
Praise God! Hallelujah! Lord I continue to plead the blood of Christ over Jennifer and that she has no more kidney issues or heart problems! Lord I declare a full healing of her body! In Jesus holy and precious name. Amen.
Amen 🙏🏼
Sooo glad you are okay! Thanks for the update. Prayer is so powerful, God is so good! We are having “Famsgiving today with our children and their significant others. I’m using your bread recipe for the yummy rolls. It’s rising now. I am grateful for you! You touch many lives and we are so blessed by it. Happy Thanksgiving!🍁
My sister 12 times by
lithotripsy and 2 by
surgery ... She is 52 and she is ok now !!! Don't worry don't afraid !!!! My prayers and a big hug for courage !!!! REGARDS from GREECE !!!!!
You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery. God Bless
I have had a stint put in and get emotional after anthesia too. So glad to hear you're finally out of pain and all is well.. I have found that drinking water out of a bottle room temperature helps me drink it 24/7. ✝️💗✝️💗✝️
Amen!!! So glad you are not in so much pain anymore!! You are an encouragement to many of us viewers out there so its great to see you feeling better!
My husband is a anesthetist and he said many times even big burly men will be emotional after a procedure because of the medicine. Nothing to be ashamed of. I had an EGD done a few months back and instead of emotional crying and was pure crabby afterwards. I wanted to bites some heads off! 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you are feeling lots better!💜
So happy the second procedure went well and this is all behind you. The pre-surgery video you did helped calm me with your positive attitude as I face an upcoming surgery. May God continue to bless you & your family. You are a bright light in a world that can be dark & scary at times.
Praise God all went well.
Jennifer, I’m on that road myself. I’m on antibiotics right now because I might have an infection. I see the urologist next week. The soonest. Praying that God will do His miracles. I don’t really know what I’m up against. My blood tests don’t show failure. I don’t know what else could be going on. Crossing fingers and toes I’ll be fine. 🙏🙌🏻
🤞
YOu both have a nice thanks giving also. Such nice people! Wish you were my neighbors.
Thank you for the update! Thankful that the procedure went well and you are doing well! We all need a reminder to drink more water especially in the winter when we are inclined to drink less frequently. Have a blessed thanksgiving!
I love your Aunt Linda,and how you treat her.I had a kidney stone the size of a quarter, I told the doctor I would have rather had 10 kids then pain of that one stone.Take care of yourself.
Oh, do you have my empathy ... I so admire you! Speedy Recovery and wishing you far less pain! Regards!
So glad you are feeling better. praying for you from India for a complete recovery. Our Lord is good!
you guys are so special to me. Praying for you Jennifer. I'm so glad the Drs got you taken care of. Chad you are so awesome and your love for Jennifer is so evident💞💞🙏👍
Soooo happy for you Jennifer, no more miserable painful days, rest up and let your body heal, I'll keep praying for a speedy and perfect recovery 😘🙏
I have had a kidney stone since Tuesday. I have been on medication since Thursday. Still have occasional pain. Hope it gets better without intervention. 🙏🏻. So glad you are feeling better 😊
Praise Holy God that you two have come out of this with such love and success😇😇🕊🙏❣
Praise the Lord for He is good. May the Lord bless you with good health.
Makes me sooo happy that you are doing okay now! I follow all your kids too, and I know they were all pretty concerned! So thankful you are on the mend! Love to you and all your family! ❣
So glad to hear you are better 💞 The power of prayer is amazing . Thanks so much for sharing 💓
So happy you are feeling better and that your surgery was successful!! Praise God!!!
