Peter - you truly are a rock star, doing the shopping trip AND vlogging it (and since I'm watching, someone fit in the editing at some point) - so, so beautifully on top of the two of you juggling the round-the-clock IVs. I'm inspired.
So many comments about how amazing Peter is, the truth as I see it, he is fantastically amazing! Living with chronic illness alone is the pits. All the holidays alone. Even church family is at a little distance because I'm in a leadership role.
Melissa Dawn- I totally get what you are saying about being alone with chronic illness. It sucks....and people who have support right there do not realize how lucky they are. I do have some amazing friends....but they all have families....it’s very very difficult not to have family support. I’m sending you love and strength and support.💕💓💗
Happy first day of Birthday Week Mary! Peter: Being a primary care giver is extremely difficult during this time. You are killing it and your appreciation of your wife is so so sweet. You really are the best possible husband to Mary. Mary: I am so proud of you girl! You are doing this like a Boss. Now rest and relax and enjoy the pleasure of Celebrating, like the Queen you are, on this special week! Love you guys so much and Oliver too as he is part of the family in every way.
Peter you take such good care of Mary. You remind me of my husband who is just like you, he stays with me in the hospital almost all the time. He's done IV's., ports, TPN feedings. He's cleaned up throw up & blazing diarrhea, lol. That's love & you & Mary love each other so much, that's obvious. People that don't understand that are just missing out I suppose. It's so hard on the long term care giver & they don't get enough credit. Just keep loving each other & let God handle the rest. You two inspire me every day.
Happy Birthday Week! Hope tomorrow is a good, low-key day. (Cheap tip - Using a hairdryer to heat stubborn labels has worked well for me. Maybe the labels on Peter’s bottles will succumb to it too.)
Peter do you ever have really difficult moments where you feel like you just don’t have the strength anymore to get through all this? You are so positive and are such a rockstar. You amaze me!
Hey Peter! I worked at Stop and Shop for 27yrs! The cut fruit is freshly cut IN STORE EVERYDAY! It’s well worth the price and convenience 👍🏼 and next time ask someone in the bake shop to write on that for you 😀
Happy Birthday eve Mary! Peter, that was so sweet of you to bring home surprise treats for Mary. You two are so kind and loving and thankful for each other, watching your videos makes me smile. Love from Michigan!
Peter- I laughed out loud when you were icing the cake. You are such a wonderful caregiver to Mary. I hope that Mary has an amazing birthday week. You both are inspirational.
Oh Peter, you are amazing, wonderful, loving, supportive, fantastic , I don’t have enough words to describe how great you are! My love and hugs are with you always.See you tomorrow!
Happy birthday, Mary! Love you, Peter and Oliver! Praying for you, sweetie. You and Peter both. Peter you do so much and taking care of Mary. I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Peter, you are such an amazing husband to Mary. Seeing you at the store today picking things out that she would like, even the little things just to make her feel better brought joy to my day in a day when I was not really able to choose joy.
The total love between you two just makes me so happy. Happy Birthday, Mary! May the Lord bless you in your new year with clear lungs and good times! Hugs and love to you.
A wonderful husband - he reminds me of my own. Great when your so cared for....happy birthday Mary...take it easy & recover from all this extra stuff soon..xx
Happy Birthday Week Mary!!!! Plan to celebrate when you get off IV's and feel better. And as Peter said, everyday is a reason to celebrate. Peter decorating that cake in the car.....so sweet. You are both such thoughtful people.
Happy Birthday Week to an Extra Special Gal!! You got a great family Mary! Peter and Ollie are keepers. And the 3 of you compliment one another so perfectly will. Cheers to Birthday follies!
Happy birthday beautiful! Peter you are such a sweet husband to go get things to make Mary feel special on her birthday weekend. You guys are the cutest couple and family. Hugs
That was so thoughtful Peter. You both have gone through a lot the past 3weeks. Mary has done far far good, considering her surgery! She has been through a tough time, even now!❤️
I agree Peter...you are an awesome caregiver and husband. My son is my caregiver and has been for about fifteen years plus. He does all the shots, meds, doctor trips..just everything plus all the cooking cleaning etc. I told him once you don't usually see sons taking care of their mothers like that. He is so compassionate and even does things like when I am in too much pain to be touched he will stand at the foot of my bed and say "hugging thoughts mama". I love it. Right now we are waiting on some tests to come back. I already have a long list of things wrong but now I have been dx with hemolytic anemia. and they are running all the tests to see why. I learned that is when your red blood cells are dying off quicker than you can make them. Still waiting on the cardiac ultrasound to see if the ventricle of my heart is still dilated from the massive blood clots. So has been a crazy time. I love a quote that Michael J Fox said talking about his health..Parkinsons...he said if he worried about all that was happening and all that was wrong, it would drive him crazy so he had some to realize that accepting what is helped him a lot. He went on to say "Acceptance isn’t resignation,” I remind myself often that God tells us over and over to not worry....and such peace I have had. Happy Birthday Mary. Looks like your birthday is starting off just grand. Cake looks yummy. I am sure it is nice to be where you can see Peter even in the kitchen. Son has my bedroom where it looks into the kitchen so I can watch him. :)
Ollie understands when it's bedtime, my dog does too, lol I'm glad that you're home mary, your birthday 🎂 cake looks beautiful, I just wanted to lick my screen 🧡
Happiest of birthdays to sweet Mary. Peter, you are a precious husband to her. I love watching you guys. Your faith and love are inspiring. Love to you both. And Ollie too.
Happy birthday Mary! I pray you continue to be blessed and a blessing to others. I am also praying for you and Peter as you continue to be in the comfort of God's peace. Have a joyful day!
congrats on making it home. As is often the case, I can't sleep because of my intense chronic pain. Listening to your vlogs truly makes me feel better mentally. I am reminded that I am not the only one suffering and that a positive attitude can at least help me survive another long painful night. Thank you and congrats again. Nope you are able to have a great bday week.
My husband is my caretaker and I'm thankful to have him cuz it is very hard to take of all 8 chronic illnesses and my emphysema including trying to find food I can eat with my 21 food allergies so I'm sure Mary is extremely grateful to have you Peter keep up the good work you are doing a great job :)
You know, you guys are both such lovely souls. Seeing how much love you have for each other is so heartwarming. All the extra effort that you put into making each other’s days better is inspiring.
Happy Birthday Mary! Shortly after watching your videos I realized that we have the SAME birthday. Tomorrow I will be 27, and pregnant with baby number 3. Thanks for all your videos and encouragement makes me happy!!
Happy Birthday Mary!! May your day be relaxing and special because you have two people you loves you.....Peter and Ollie!! And of course, your fans! :) I love how Ollie looks up at the camera. Too cute! Keep on smiling!! :)
happy birthday weekend Mary!!!! hope you feel better soon!!! y'all are so inspiring. "just amazing yes y'all are". hugs from our family to yours and many prayers for a speedy recovery!!
Riptide rush is my favorite Gatorade too! Unfortunately where I live only gas stations carry that flavor and icy charge does not live up to riptide rush at all! Happy Birthday Week Mary!!
i love how well you look after each other. its so beautiful. i would love to have the kind of support you give to mary. thank you for being wonderful :)
Happy birthday Mary!! Praying your day is abundantly blessed and that you get a reprieve from feeling sick today. You both are so inspiring and I admire you both so much. Thank you for including all of us on this rollercoaster ride we call life. Sending prayers, much love and hugs!!
Happy Birthday today Mary! Have a wonderful beautiful day, as wonderful and beautiful as you are. 😘 I love you so much, you give so much joy and happiness to so many, such a wonderful gift you give. Sending my love and hugs as always. See you tomorrow! 🤗
Happy Birthday dear sweet Mary. Have a joy filled day and a blessed year. I love you both and Looks like Peter made birthday week special. Your living out loud inspires me with my chronic illness. God Richey bless you both always
Happy early birthday ! For the bottles I would recommend peeling off as much of the sticker as you can, then spreading a generous amount of butter or coconut oil on the leftover sticker goo. If you let it sit for a while (I usually do overnight) the goo should come off pretty easily with soap and a sponge.
I buy this stuff called Goo Gone for removing labels off of glass jars. Just let it soak through the label and scrub with a cloth. Works like a charm!! Happy birthday week Mary!
I’m just. So. Thankful!!! Home is wonderful- even if these meds make me feel less than wonderful :0
The Frey Life hi
The Frey Life Happy Birthday Mary, I hope you have a great week and many more.
The Frey Life Happy, Birthday Mary!
Hi Mary happy birthday I know how you feel I take meds that don't make me feel well either prayers ur way ❤
The Frey Life How to get labels off...soak in water than dry....peanut butter over night will take the sticky stuff off

I'm hysterical over Peter's running monologue during his grocery shop
