My partner is looking After me and the 4 kids after just having surgery , it’s so hard raising kids with a partner but even harder as a single parent , makes you realise how much a team you and your partner are till one is unable to help and you need to it solo , Your doing great , love the hair , such a lovely family ❤️❤️
You will make it through to the other side, I promise! Had a total of 4 knee surgeries, 2 on each side. I had to have one knee rebuilt, down for a year (was throwing blood clots). Gotta do what they say. As soon as you start being able to rely m9ve around, you won't need any core exercises. It'll be so tight from getting yourself around. Hang in there. Sarah, you're so hot as a redhead, surprised you're not throwing flames!! You're a rockstar with everything you have on your plate! You've got this!!
Sarah what a fantastic job you have been doing .. I see in your eyes the love you have for your family and it gladens my heart to see it these days .. best wishes.
You yawn all you want, Sarah! Taking care/raising of a family is hard work, especially while hubby is recovering from major surgery! Love your content! God speed, Derik ❤❤❤
Love it when Derek said "Thank you" so sincerely to Sarah so many times, and when he asked us to clap, i did! Derek knows how much more Sarah got to do without his help. ❤ Sarah, you are so courageous in helping hubby again, the 2nd time! Yawn all you want! Ask for help when you feel overwhelmed ya. Biggest hugs! ❤
You are both doing an amazing job. Stay positive, and laugh often. That is the best advice I can give. I have been staying with my 90 year old parents since last April. In the last 2 years, Dad has had multiple amputations, infections, surgeries to reopen an amputation to clean out infection. We almost lost him twice, but God allowed him and us more time. This man is so strong and positive and he does slide board transfers like a pro. He has the BEST sense of humor. We are always laughing. I believe this is what has kept him going. He has had to adjust to his daughter (me) cleaning him, changing him. He is my hero. I have been separated from my husband, son, and grandkids, but they lovingly support this living arrangement as it is what is necessary for the time being. I have and will cherish every moment I have with my parents, God gave me this time for a reason, and I am SO grateful. God bless you both...keep the faith. ❤
Sarah, you’re so wonderful and strong! Please don’t let all these encouraging words stop you from venting, feeling overwhelmed, or seeking help!! It won’t make you any less strong 😊💪🏻. Oh, and TIP (not for exercise, sorry): when you wrap an ace bandage around the leg, it’s a big timesaver to start with it rolled all the way up, then move(/unwrap) the roll around the leg. It just keeps you from having to pull the long tail around each time, and you won’t have to hold the leg up as long to thread it underneath each time. Best of luck to y’all!! ❤️
My poor husband has been my carer for 12 years , while working full time , with two kids and some of that looking after his mum too . Plus a demanding chihuahua!! 😂 Poor guy deserves a medal 🥇
Speaking from experience, my partner helped me so much when I fractured my knee awhile back! I felt so bad that I even needed help, and will be forever thankful! Get well soon, I know it's hard on both of you! Your hair looks amazing Sarah!
Sarah, way to go, taking care of hubby. Challenging, tired, and overwhelmed but you still stood by your man! And by the way, your blue eyes pop with the new hair color.
Sarah is realy a freaking superhero for keeping everything together right now, remember its ok to take a break! Also, from a former dyed redhead, some coloring leave in conditioner can keep the red looking fire! Otherwise the nice looking red fades fast 😅 Hoping all of you that Derik heals fast and WELL this time ❤
Y'all are just the sweetest family. Hang in there Sarah, you're a Rockstar! I hope Deriks' appointment went well, I'll pray for you all and for Derik to have a smooth recovery..... I would love to see a furnished home tour! Thanks for sharing, God bless!
So many great things about this video. Sarah your hair is so gorgeous!! Derik, please follow the doctor's orders. You will not enjoy getting older if your knee doesn't heal correctly. Jack's new haircut is adorable (saw it in previous videos) and Sunny is growing so much! Sarah, the Valentine's dinner was top notch and the surprise on Derik's face showed just how much he needed that. Sweetie, I know you're so over done right now, but Girl, You are Rockin this motherhood gig!! Sending lots of love and hugs to you all and prayers for healing for Derik and strength for you Sarah.
Sarah you’re a hero, you’re managing everything soooo well! I just went through a similar surgery, hang in there Derek! I also had multiple surgeries in a year and it gets so discouraging feeling captive to pain and medical treatment when your personality wants to play and be active. I discovered I needed to add as much floor and chair workout outs as I could for core and strengthening everything, in addition to the physical therapy exercises. All of my body lost strength and it was making my recovery longer. If you search chair and “lazy” workouts you’ll find things you can do from sitting and bed. Just do your best every day, without expectation, it’s a roller coaster recovery, when it hurts…. Pull back and listen to your body. Emotionally, try to find passive things that bring you joy - like a photo project or game night, movie fort sleep over with the kids, things to look forward to and break up your days. Gos bless you!!! 🙏🏻❤️
That's what i love about being a Mother and wife, I get to take care of them when their down... Best thing about being in this position, cherish these moments.. You're good girl you got this.
Using a Pilates Reformer, I was able to keep my leg straight and do arm exercises while strengthening my core as well. That machine is a game changer - and it’s fun. You can buy them in different sizes depending on what you can afford which is also nice. Heal quickly and well Derek!
I have to say that your husband is so sincerely grateful (and complimentary) and I find that very endearing... Gives me something to hope for while looking for my partner. I'm going to add that to my list!
I don't every exercise or work out so I can't help there. Sarah, you are killing it.. What you are doing isn't easy. I know Derrick wants to help and it's so hard to just sit by. Everything is an adventure of a journey.
Y’all are in a hard situation that I have been in. I’m the one that couldn’t get around. You , Sarah are doing great! Derek, I know it’s hard not to do the things that you love to do, but in time you will be able to do more! Just listen to your doctor so you don’t have more problems. I so love to watch y’all! And Sarah, I love your red hair!❤
That was so sweet of you to do for Valentines Sarah. Your yawning always makes me smile, keep it real. Wow, Sunny is doing so well. Fun in the snow, awesome, get that aggression out, lol. Gorgeous mirror. Damn... Derik, you are seriously going to have to watch what you do with yourself from now on man. For your own health and your family man. I feel for you both right now. Wishing you guys the best, love the vlog :)
That's what marriage is all about. You guys are so cute! Good job Sara. The date was so sweet. You both needed it. Derrick would do it for you as well and that's what it's all about. Love you guys.
Sarah the Valentine's setup was so nice and you're doing great with everything. Derik before you know it you will be healed and back to it very sweet how appreciative you are of all the help. You two have the cutest kids. Love Sunny's picktales so cute seeing her and Jack playing in the snow.
Would love to see your house now that it is filled with furniture. I just know it look like it is warm, cozy, and inviting!! Loving the new hair color Sarah!! Hope Derik has a quick recovery❤❤❤❤
Just genuinely hope everything is ok with you guys ❤ I know it’s a trying time, but stay strong through this you guys were able to get over the obstacles of the first surgery and moving to Utah. You can do anything ❤ stay resilient and have faith x
How to make frozen pizza dinner romantic… salad kit, but add other veggies chopped up, peppers, radishes, some boiled egg if you like them, pickled beets, cheese, I add micro greens, they add lots of flavor and nutrients. And use your own favorite salad dressing. If it’s ranch, add some dried basil1 tsp, 2 tsp dried dill. And an extra 1/4 cup of Mayo, or buttermilk, or half n half, 1/8 cup. Mix up good, let sit in the fridge pre use for 1 hour. also, add some dried parsley when serving!
Love your new hair looks amazing and also so crazy to see how much you derek jack and sunny have grown been watch you since before jack and loved how much use have changed 💛
Sunny is so adorable ❤ Sarah yawn to your heart’s content! I can’t imagine how exhausted you are. My youngest was constantly sick with ear infections. She had many surgeries and I felt like I was a dish rag at times. You are doing amazing caring for Derik, Jack and Sunny!!!
Sarah, your hair is fantastic, you look like a natural red head! Love it. Please don’t go back to blonde! I am also wishing Derik a quick recovery, you are the best partner any guy could have, you never complain just do what needs to be done while Derik is “down”. You guys are terrific partners and your babies are the sweetest. Love your channel.
You're so strong willed to go past the Easter and Valentine's stuff. Seeing the care you give your family is so uplifting, and the little things you do to give them all a bit of joy, is so wholesome! Hope y'all recover soon and stay strong in health and spirit.💓💌
Sunny is so cute like the cutest girl I’ve ever seen and I love Sarah’s new hair. It’s so perfect on her and she’s such a caring and loving mom even when she’s by herself I watch you guys all the time is so entertaining and fun
Derik, I had a similar surgery recovery for my knee. My core workout consisted of 3-4 different exercises but really leaned on time. Total of 12 minutes. You can also adjust your exercises as your leg gets stronger. 2 minute intervals with 30 second rest. Example: 2 min straight leg sit up 30 sec rest 2 min Russian twist 30 sec rest 2 min roll up 30 sec rest 2 min modified plank 30 sec rest 2 min modified push ups. If you can’t do the full two minutes that’s OKAY! I go until I can’t. Take a FULL 10 sec rest then finish out the 2 minutes. At first you might take 3-4 rests and that’s okay. Also I make sure to do the last 15 sec of each 2 minutes. Ultimately all of these you will need to modify to the strength of your leg. And you can always sub other exercises you enjoy or feel more comfortable doing with your current leg status. Don’t feel too discouraged if you can’t do one yet just replace it with something you can. I used to do plank, sit up, plank, push up, plank. Until I could do more. Good luck and stay strong!
What a really lovely thought Sarah. Hope Derek is not in as much pain today. Your hair is gorgeous . Get some help Sarah you don't have to do it alone. X
I know about being a home nurse,,,,, and that's not my profession! My dad was 74 and lost use of his dominant right hand/arm. He also had open heart surgery... there were things I had to do that I never imagined I would have to do, but this was my dad. I barreled thru and did these chores because of one reason! I loved him so much! Still do but he has passed on but whatever was needed showering, bathroom chores, getting dressed, brushing his hair, toenails, finger nails I was there for him! ❤❤❤❤ when you love someone you do what needs to be done!, I applaud you hun!😊
❤ it’s the thought that counts. Very much appreciated. It’s really exhausting being a carer plus the children who are tiny, make sure you look after yourself. Get as much help as you can, lots of grandparents help. Trouble is if you can get in doesn’t mean you can get out, you would have been better off with a chair in the shower and have a spritz. You can get a waterproof cover to put over the leg and support same they use for a plaster cast.
Sarah, you were born to be redhead! My goodness that color suits you!! When I saw Derik’s reaction to Sarah’s Valentine’s Day date, I legit teared up. Such a precious moment. You could see how touched Derik was. It’s not how fancy it looks or how fancy the food is, it’s the whole thought and gesture behind it. I would take this over an expensive meal at a restaurant any day of the week and twice on Sundays 🥰🥰 Just keep that positive mindset. Take it one day at a time. Enjoy the little moments. Your love will only grow stronger through these trials. You are doing just fine. 🤗💛
Sarah you are truly awesome and amazing and should get all the praise you deserve for everything you do. Derik and the kids are so lucky to have a truly amazing and great Lady and mom like you ❤🎉
I had an ACL reconstruction as well, Instead of getting in the tub because I found getting out was 10x harder and getting in was not easy, we moved a lawn chair and stool into the shower so I could sit in the chair and get clean. There’s also shower chairs you can buy from the pharmacy, but that worked perfect for me. Still can’t clean everything but almost! Haha.
Sarah u r a goddess ♥️😇 Btw u r my relationship goals, seriously. You guys are just simply amazing 😍 Obviously everyone rather shares the good stuff and i believe ur life isn't all fun, rainbows, Marshmallows and shades of pink. But u seem extremely genuine and are a role model for many. Hit me up if ur ever in Finland would totally love to meet u guys! ❤ U give joy to my days and give energy to keep going.😍 Keep this going and keep loving each other so purely and unconditionally ❤
Her little bell bottoms so cute . It’s her wifely duty to shower and not drown you! 😂 The mirror is great with the lights.Laying flat in bed tip pelvis forward. You can feel core engage. Hold it in intervals. You can do quad tightening while flat too. Will make walking easier when you can move! Hope it helps. Had a total knee replacement in my 50s. Need the other one but need to loose weight. Found out at 57 I have a connective tissue disorder, Ehler-Danlos syndrome. Have had joint pains since my teens. No reason found out. Til my daughter at 33 got diagnosed. My mother likely had it, and my grandfather. I can hardly walk with a can. Need to use my walker, but can’t concede. Prayers for total and complete healing for you, and prayers for Sarah’s sanity!
Took care of my spouse through many physical ailments while caring for 4 small little ones. We made each time memorable. He each time always felt guilty; that made me sad. I was grateful every time because he had a great recovery and that was my success! Now 20 years later he is caring for me as I (we) go through a difficult cancer journey. Best wishes for a successful recovery for you both.
Thank you for sharing your Valentine's Day with us. Seeing the love between you and Derek, plus also watching Lo and Tanner makes me happy. The kids playing in the snow was great... just put some socks on Sunni next time. Plus Sarah's hair is so great!!
Sarah I love your hair! Red hair looks beautiful on you! Sunny’s pony tails are absolutely adorable! Watching her “run” down the hall in purple bell bottoms with her pony tails bouncing was so darn cute.
You are both really doing your best, and you are great! Not easy for you, but you have each other and your sweet kids, good friends, a big house and an exiting future together! 👏💕
i am 1 week post op today from ACL reconstruction & a surprise lateral meniscus tear & i can attest that not being able to change in the beginning due to being too embarrassed to ask for help is SO REAL good luck hope this surgery works for you Derek
What about getting one of those long handled reachers with the hand grip and pinchers on the end? Could that help with changing? And they do make special devices to assist with putting on socks if you cant bend.
I’m 2weeks post op for multiple knee procedures including fixing a torn meniscus, not being able to shower etc was soooo hard and needing help when you’re so used to being independent. Speedy recovery to you both
What a truly beautiful couple you are. You both think of eachother all the time, and your children are always witnessing it and they're going to show that love now and in the future with their spouses. God bless you.
❤Yes would love to see your finished house tour, love your hair Sarah and well done for looking after kids and Derik but try not to overwhelm yourself ❤sending love and hugs to you all xxx ❤
7:08 “Are you gonna be smart!”…Sonny answers by putting a backward cellphone to her ear because she’s so smart, she already knows got to be witty too! 😂❤
Sarah, you're a champ! Great job caretaking, in addition to all your mom duties and you still made a sweet setup for Valentine's. The red hair color is so flattering on you, very beautiful!
Great Job Sarah! You take really good care of Derek. Praying for a good report from the surgeon. My daughter had major reconstructive knee surgery at age 15 and boy was that rough. She was so brave and had so much PT but she is doing great now.
Beautiful Valentine's day for Derick and you! It has to be so difficult for you, Sarah! But, I notice you completely rock it! Jack and Sunny are precious, playing in the snow! And Sunny is very smart, just like Jack! I am glad your spirits are up, Derick. It cannot be easy on either one of you going through this once again! And keep yawning Sarah! You have every right being exhausted! The bullies need to go away! You, Sarah, have everything on your plate! Make sure to take time for yourself as well! Beautiful family! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I just love you guys, all of you!!! I don't have any "core" exercises but I do have a recommendation for Sarah. When wrapping up Derik's leg roll the gauze as if it were brand new before starting and it will be way easier to wrap around instead of having a tail. It will be so much faster too. My love and healing prayers to you all!
How can people be mad at Sarah for yawning 😅that's so ridiculous!!! Tired people yawn, it's a normal bodily reaction to exhaustion people!!!! 😂 Anyways good job Sarah for making an effort to give Derrick a good Valentine's, even though the situation is not ideal, you're doing a great job taking care of him! And Derrick, I hope you have a swift recovery, and that you never have to go through another knee surgery! Love you guys! ❤️
Love you guys so much. You’re so lucky to have each other. Sarah you’re so gorgeous. Derek you’re such a hunk of stuff. Wish I had you. Lol. Take care. Luv & stuff! The more you rest now. The longer you’ll last! Best! 🥰😍
Sarah B, you are so sweet. Loving the red hair. It really makes your eyes pop. I thought we all told D not hurt himself anymore. Poor guy. Love ya'll! Happy Valentine's Day to Jack and Sunny.
I just love that u did that for Derek! How sweet Sara!! It has 2 be hard on you, but imagine just laying around in pain eewww!! Have a great Valentines day!! Blessings from my family to your beautiful family ❤❤
What?! She complains constantly and her resentment toward Derik is so obvious. She was throwing snowballs at him aggressively and he said "show me how mad you really are about my leg." He knows.
My partner is looking After me and the 4 kids after just having surgery , it’s so hard raising kids with a partner but even harder as a single parent , makes you realise how much a team you and your partner are till one is unable to help and you need to it solo , Your doing great , love the hair , such a lovely family ❤️❤️
Yay Sarah! So happy to see you smiling and positive. You are awesome!🎉❤
@@gloriasteiner1520you mean yay, Kirsty!

You will make it through to the other side, I promise! Had a total of 4 knee surgeries, 2 on each side. I had to have one knee rebuilt, down for a year (was throwing blood clots). Gotta do what they say. As soon as you start being able to rely m9ve around, you won't need any core exercises. It'll be so tight from getting yourself around. Hang in there.

You yawn all you want, Sarah! Taking care/raising of a family is hard work, especially while hubby is recovering from major surgery! Love your content! God speed, Derik ❤❤❤

Yes, I also clapped.
You're an excellent wife. I love families that are filled with love.
Praying for Derik, and praying for you, Sarah. You're blessed to have each other.

🎉what you did is so sweet. I got tears . Blessings for Derivks recovery. And, your red hair is beautiful, Sarah.
Sarah, you’re so wonderful and strong! Please don’t let all these encouraging words stop you from venting, feeling overwhelmed, or seeking help!! It won’t make you any less strong 😊💪🏻.

When all this is over, surprise Sarah with something special. Derek, you are blessed to have her!!! And each other!
Sarah, way to go, taking care of hubby. Challenging, tired, and overwhelmed but you still stood by your man! And by the way, your blue eyes pop with the new hair color.
Sarah is realy a freaking superhero for keeping everything together right now, remember its ok to take a break!
Also, from a former dyed redhead, some coloring leave in conditioner can keep the red looking fire! Otherwise the nice looking red fades fast 😅
Hoping all of you that Derik heals fast and WELL this time ❤

Sarah you’re a hero, you’re managing everything soooo well!
I just went through a similar surgery, hang in there Derek! I also had multiple surgeries in a year and it gets so discouraging feeling captive to pain and medical treatment when your personality wants to play and be active. I discovered I needed to add as much floor and chair workout outs as I could for core and strengthening everything, in addition to the physical therapy exercises. All of my body lost strength and it was making my recovery longer. If you search chair and “lazy” workouts you’ll find things you can do from sitting and bed. Just do your best every day, without expectation, it’s a roller coaster recovery, when it hurts…. Pull back and listen to your body.
Emotionally, try to find passive things that bring you joy - like a photo project or game night, movie fort sleep over with the kids, things to look forward to and break up your days. Gos bless you!!! 🙏🏻❤️
You guys are so full of love 💕 Thank you for your authenticity and entertainment
That's what i love about being a Mother and wife, I get to take care of them when their down... Best thing about being in this position, cherish these moments.. You're good girl you got this.
You both look way happier than last surgery and just in good spirits in general so good for you guys 👍
Using a Pilates Reformer, I was able to keep my leg straight and do arm exercises while strengthening my core as well. That machine is a game changer - and it’s fun. You can buy them in different sizes depending on what you can afford which is also nice. Heal quickly and well Derek!
I have to say that your husband is so sincerely grateful (and complimentary) and I find that very endearing... Gives me something to hope for while looking for my partner. I'm going to add that to my list!
Sunny's flared pants are so stinking cute !
Sunny IS so stinking cute!!
Very mod hippy of her
😊
I don't every exercise or work out so I can't help there.
Sarah, you are killing it..
What you are doing isn't easy.
I know Derrick wants to help and it's so hard to just sit by.
Everything is an adventure of a journey.
She's a good nurse and WIFE. That's what true love is
Y’all are in a hard situation that I have been in. I’m the one that couldn’t get around. You , Sarah are doing great! Derek, I know it’s hard not to do the things that you love to do, but in time you will be able to do more! Just listen to your doctor so you don’t have more problems. I so love to watch y’all! And Sarah, I love your red hair!❤
That was so sweet of you to do for Valentines Sarah. Your yawning always makes me smile, keep it real. Wow, Sunny is doing so well. Fun in the snow, awesome, get that aggression out, lol. Gorgeous mirror. Damn... Derik, you are seriously going to have to watch what you do with yourself from now on man. For your own health and your family man. I feel for you both right now. Wishing you guys the best, love the vlog :)

You're so strong willed to go past the Easter and Valentine's stuff.
Seeing the care you give your family is so uplifting, and the little things you do to give them all a bit of joy, is so wholesome! Hope y'all recover soon and stay strong in health and spirit.💓💌
Can’t get over how PERFECT Sarah’s hair is!!!!!
Sunny is so cute like the cutest girl I’ve ever seen and I love Sarah’s new hair. It’s so perfect on her and she’s such a caring and loving mom even when she’s by herself I watch you guys all the time is so entertaining and fun
This video made me cry….Good job mama on working with Sunny ❤ She is doing beautifully….she is a baby doll.
Derik, I had a similar surgery recovery for my knee. My core workout consisted of 3-4 different exercises but really leaned on time. Total of 12 minutes. You can also adjust your exercises as your leg gets stronger. 2 minute intervals with 30 second rest. Example:
2 min straight leg sit up

That mirror is amazing! Yes, furnished house tour! Congratulations on your team work! Sunny is walking so, so well!
What a really lovely thought Sarah. Hope Derek is not in as much pain today. Your hair is gorgeous . Get some help Sarah you don't have to do it alone. X
They have a nanny...they have family, they have $$ resources ... hire home health care workers!!
I know about being a home nurse,,,,, and that's not my profession! My dad was 74 and lost use of his dominant right hand/arm. He also had open heart surgery... there were things I had to do that I never imagined I would have to do, but this was my dad. I barreled thru and did these chores because of one reason! I loved him so much! Still do but he has passed on but whatever was needed showering, bathroom chores, getting dressed, brushing his hair, toenails, finger nails I was there for him! ❤❤❤❤ when you love someone you do what needs to be done!, I applaud you hun!😊
❤ it’s the thought that counts. Very much appreciated. It’s really exhausting being a carer plus the children who are tiny, make sure you look after yourself. Get as much help as you can, lots of grandparents help. Trouble is if you can get in doesn’t mean you can get out, you would have been better off with a chair in the shower and have a spritz. You can get a waterproof cover to put over the leg and support same they use for a plaster cast.
Sarah, you were born to be redhead! My goodness that color suits you!!
When I saw Derik’s reaction to Sarah’s Valentine’s Day date, I legit teared up. Such a precious moment. You could see how touched Derik was. It’s not how fancy it looks or how fancy the food is, it’s the whole thought and gesture behind it. I would take this over an expensive meal at a restaurant any day of the week and twice on Sundays 🥰🥰
Just keep that positive mindset. Take it one day at a time. Enjoy the little moments. Your love will only grow stronger through these trials. You are doing just fine. 🤗💛
Sarah that’s love! Even if you hate doing all that well you do it because you love that human ❤❤❤
Sarah you are truly awesome and amazing and should get all the praise you deserve for everything you do. Derik and the kids are so lucky to have a truly amazing and great Lady and mom like you ❤🎉
I had an ACL reconstruction as well, Instead of getting in the tub because I found getting out was 10x harder and getting in was not easy, we moved a lawn chair and stool into the shower so I could sit in the chair and get clean. There’s also shower chairs you can buy from the pharmacy, but that worked perfect for me. Still can’t clean everything but almost! Haha.
Shower chair and waterproof cast cover does wonders! Sending speedy recovery vibes 🏄♂️❤ Y’all can do it!
Love that you’re uploading so frequently lately 🤍
Sarah u r a goddess ♥️😇
Btw u r my relationship goals, seriously. You guys are just simply amazing 😍
Obviously everyone rather shares the good stuff and i believe ur life isn't all fun, rainbows, Marshmallows and shades of pink. But u seem extremely genuine and are a role model for many.
Hit me up if ur ever in Finland would totally love to meet u guys! ❤ U give joy to my days and give energy to keep going.😍
Keep this going and keep loving each other so purely and unconditionally ❤
Sunny is precious walking and riding her scooter ❤
Her little bell bottoms so cute . It’s her wifely duty to shower and not drown you! 😂 The mirror is great with the lights.Laying flat in bed tip pelvis forward. You can feel core engage. Hold it in intervals. You can do quad tightening while flat too. Will make walking easier when you can move! Hope it helps. Had a total knee replacement in my 50s. Need the other one but need to loose weight. Found out at 57 I have a connective tissue disorder, Ehler-Danlos syndrome. Have had joint pains since my teens. No reason found out. Til my daughter at 33 got diagnosed. My mother likely had it, and my grandfather. I can hardly walk with a can. Need to use my walker, but can’t concede. Prayers for total and complete healing for you, and prayers for Sarah’s sanity!
You are so sweet Sarah!!! You’re doing a great job. I love your family!!! Happy Valentine’s Day to your family!!! Sunny is growing up so fast.
Took care of my spouse through many physical ailments while caring for 4 small little ones. We made each time memorable. He each time always felt guilty; that made me sad. I was grateful every time because he had a great recovery and that was my success!
Now 20 years later he is caring for me as I (we) go through a difficult cancer journey.
Best wishes for a successful recovery for you both.
Lots of claps..hugs..atta.girls for Sara. But Derrick seems to be a good patient..she's lucky.
Thank you for sharing your Valentine's Day with us. Seeing the love between you and Derek, plus also watching Lo and Tanner makes me happy. The kids playing in the snow was great... just put some socks on Sunni next time. Plus Sarah's hair is so great!!
Thanks so much in keeping us updated❤! I think a house tour would be quite good!!! LOVE THE BEESTON FAM❤❤❤❤ (Hope sarah gets a few better nights❤)
Sarah I love your hair! Red hair looks beautiful on you! Sunny’s pony tails are absolutely adorable! Watching her “run” down the hall in purple bell bottoms with her pony tails bouncing was so darn cute.
You are both really doing your best, and you are great! Not easy for you, but you have each other and your sweet kids, good friends, a big house and an exiting future together! 👏💕
Want to see all of Sarah's handy work with the house. Sarah you are awesome and your family is lucky to have you. Derik your in my prayers.
i am 1 week post op today from ACL reconstruction & a surprise lateral meniscus tear & i can attest that not being able to change in the beginning due to being too embarrassed to ask for help is SO REAL
good luck hope this surgery works for you Derek
What about getting one of those long handled reachers with the hand grip and pinchers on the end? Could that help with changing? And they do make special devices to assist with putting on socks if you cant bend.
I’m 2weeks post op for multiple knee procedures including fixing a torn meniscus, not being able to shower etc was soooo hard and needing help when you’re so used to being independent. Speedy recovery to you both
Sarah you're a great caregiver to your hubby ❤. I would luv to see your completed furnished home. Rest up Derek.
The mirror is awesome!
OMG! I can’t believe Sunny is walking already! It feels like your lives are changing all the time and is staying the same!❤
LOVE your hair!!!!! I may change my hair to that color!!!! Ok the baby’s bell bottom pants are to die for on her. Too precious 💜
Was looking for a bell bottom comment😊 So cute
What a truly beautiful couple you are. You both think of eachother all the time, and your children are always witnessing it and they're going to show that love now and in the future with their spouses. God bless you.
Love y'all heal fast Darrie...❤
Love and prayers for you all! Stay strong guys!!! We love you and are with you every step of the way!!!❤❤❤
Derrick was so surprised and touched that Sarah did the Valentine dinner.❤
❤Yes would love to see your finished house tour, love your hair Sarah and well done for looking after kids and Derik but try not to overwhelm yourself ❤sending love and hugs to you all xxx ❤
Check out chair workouts. I pray you’re all doing well!! Sarah, you just keep on yawning!!! Anyone that complains hasn’t walked in your shoes!!! ❤❤❤
7:08 “Are you gonna be smart!”…Sonny answers by putting a backward cellphone to her ear because she’s so smart, she already knows got to be witty too! 😂❤
I love playing Love and Pies.😍 Its been my addiction to play 2 or 3 times a day. Get well Derick from knee surgery. I love your cute kids.
Sarah, you're a champ! Great job caretaking, in addition to all your mom duties and you still made a sweet setup for Valentine's. The red hair color is so flattering on you, very beautiful!
From everyone here in Australia watching we hope Derek gets better soon from Surgery ❤❤
Great Job Sarah! You take really good care of Derek. Praying for a good report from the surgeon. My daughter had major reconstructive knee surgery at age 15 and boy was that rough. She was so brave and had so much PT but she is doing great now.
I wish I had thought to mention a shower chair! If you have a Home Depot or Lowe's have them and they will ship to your home! 😊❤
Beautiful Valentine's day for Derick and you! It has to be so difficult for you, Sarah! But, I notice you completely rock it! Jack and Sunny are precious, playing in the snow! And Sunny is very smart, just like Jack! I am glad your spirits are up, Derick. It cannot be easy on either one of you going through this once again! And keep yawning Sarah! You have every right being exhausted! The bullies need to go away! You, Sarah, have everything on your plate! Make sure to take time for yourself as well! Beautiful family! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Heyyyy! I LOVE the red hair!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I just love you guys, all of you!!! I don't have any "core" exercises but I do have a recommendation for Sarah. When wrapping up Derik's leg roll the gauze as if it were brand new before starting and it will be way easier to wrap around instead of having a tail. It will be so much faster too. My love and healing prayers to you all!
How can people be mad at Sarah for yawning 😅that's so ridiculous!!! Tired people yawn, it's a normal bodily reaction to exhaustion people!!!! 😂 Anyways good job Sarah for making an effort to give Derrick a good Valentine's, even though the situation is not ideal, you're doing a great job taking care of him! And Derrick, I hope you have a swift recovery, and that you never have to go through another knee surgery! Love you guys! ❤️
People just like being mean😢
Love you guys so much. You’re so lucky to have each other. Sarah you’re so gorgeous. Derek you’re such a hunk of stuff. Wish I had you. Lol. Take care. Luv & stuff! The more you rest now. The longer you’ll last! Best! 🥰😍
I love you and your family! Good luck and get well soon Derik!!❤❤❤❤
Anything you guys do is awesome!! Hope everyone is doing well!! Much love and support!! Have a nice day!!❤❤
You guys are the sweetest couple ❤
Sarah B, you are so sweet. Loving the red hair. It really makes your eyes pop. I thought we all told D not hurt himself anymore. Poor guy. Love ya'll! Happy Valentine's Day to Jack and Sunny.
You're awesome, Sarah! Also, I feel like core exercises generally pull on your knees so probably not a good idea just yet
I just love that u did that for Derek! How sweet Sara!! It has 2 be hard on you, but imagine just laying around in pain eewww!! Have a great Valentines day!! Blessings from my family to your beautiful family ❤❤
You are such a caring and loving wife. Have fun. X
Sarah needs a medal for her incredible get it done attitude!👏 Heal well Derik.❤
What?! She complains constantly and her resentment toward Derik is so obvious. She was throwing snowballs at him aggressively and he said "show me how mad you really are about my leg." He knows.
