- A weekend back and forth to the hospital as Jess had her now third surgery in just over a year.
Recovery took a bit longer than anticipated, but we have her home again.
Meanwhile, the sheep continue to be my lifeline of distraction but need to get a few things off the to-do list as the weather looks to MAYBE want to turn around next week and pull me into the fields.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Congratulations andGod bless.
I’m so glad that Jess’s surgery went well and I’m still praying for you all!!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
The dogs greeting and welcoming her home was absolutely priceless! 💙❤️💙❤️🌺🌼💐🌻
Made me cry - we alwas lean to our dogs for normality and love.
I’m a 16 year survivor from breast cancer, Jess you got this, sending healing thoughts to you love
Go you! Cancer who?!! 🎉🎉
Hey Donna I never even knew that was even possible at your âgé. What an awful expérience but it will means you hv faced something terrifying so young that you can now move forward in life knowing that you are a Warrior. Well done. 💪💪💪😊
Piper's going "I can hear you, but I can't smell you! Where are you, Mom?" ☺💕💕
A tough young lady and great parents! What an incredible family.
I agree, a very strong, tough, young lady and awesome parents. 💯👍🏽
Sandy, get some Chapstick, why dontcha?!
The last scene Jess walking her puppy and Jack racing by on his scooter in the sunlit field was so lovely, poignant and hopeful-my prayers and good thoughts continuing for the four of you. You WILL get through this trial, and Jess will emerge in good shape. Of this I am certain.
❤️🌺❤️
This is exactly what I was going to say to. That’s all we need as parents. Our children healthy and together. I cried and smiled at the same time. Love and prayers Cecilia from Texas USA
Pipers excitement at seeing Jess when she got home was so damn cute. And it's the little things that can make you happy during trying times, Jess walking Piper and Sandi chilling with the Golden Girls
I am getting my ovarian cancer results back on Wednesday. I don’t have any family in the country so seeing you all helps me mentally prepare for the worst. Sending you all hugs and loads of positive energy and a speedy recovery and all the luck in the world!
Edit: it came back negative! Sadly my liver is acting up (but also negative for cancer) so now we go on an adventure to figure that out.
Hopefully all will go well. I’ll be thinking of you.
Good luck with the results, whatever they might be you got this
Best of luck
prayers going up
Praying for you.
No need to stress over thinking about us…just feel the love and positive energy being sent to each of you!
Thank you Sandi for giving us a visual of “our” girl. ❤️Jess, I’m so glad she’s feeling better. 🌷💚🙃
She is strong because she has been raised by strong parents. Prayers for all of you.
Tears of happiness for Jessies success. I have 2 surgeries for cancer and have had 85 years of good health. Bless You All.
I also had to laugh when you said your kids are always your babies. My youngest is 42, and my children(!) are always my babies. " I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." I call it the mom mantra 😊
That’s a quote from my favorite children’s book “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. And it’s so true that they are always our baby. Mine will be 33 in July, and I will always think of him that way in times of stress or distress. It’s nice to have adult discussions with him, but my mommy heart struggles to remember that he is an adult.
My oldest girl will be 38 and I still call her my baby...
And today ( May 7th) my now - angel would have been 47 years old, oh I miss him so much, it was 15 years in January. Watching Jess and her Piper dog keeps me from crying on this day- proud to know Sandi and Jess, and I'll always feel they are My CANADIAN cousins as I watch her story!
@@peachmelba9333 I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know that never leaves you. 🙏❤️
I've been waiting on pins and needles for an update on Jess. I'm so glad that she's doing well. I've got a bunch of folks praying for her, and y'all.
Thank You Jess❤ for allowing all of us to go through this with you. Sandi,Mark & Jack Thank you for the Love and support you give. What a wonderful family God Bless all of you
Thank you, Sandi, for making the time to give us an update. We all love you & Jess & Mark & Jack & Carissa & the Golden Girls & all the sheep & lambs & Kinsey, Lucy & baby Piper! (can't believe how big the lambs are!) 💕💕
I have been a care giver and today a 22 year survivor of uterine cancer . It is ok to worry, you are the mom. Jess is a fighter and seams to have trust in the process. As it is said down here in Ashtabula, Ohio, God will not give you more than you can handle with His help. Hugs for all of you.❤
Wow! Congratulations! It’s amazing to hear from survivors! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
same here care giver and 19 year ovarian & uterine cancer survivor. (Mine tested precancerous so only 1 chemo)
One of the most important things for me as a person in her 20s who is sick, is knowing that my parents are okay and do what they need to do to get self care in or see a therapist, have a day with their friends, anything that isn’t just watching me suffer and feeling worse. The only way they can help me is if they do what they need to help themselves. Thinking about you guys ❤
Some people don't have any money, so we have to be creative when it comes to self care, Others don't have much time to go do things like going out or places. So even if for that day all that can be managed is a nice bath, with scented water, and candle glowing as one lays there to relax. And for me most times, that is what I have been doing for many years, both my kids have serious and painful medical issues. I'm divorced, so money is very tight. I have the same condition, so going for a walk is not an option. I so agree self-care is so important. Even Jess has to be sure she does nice things for herself, you tend to heal faster.
Jess is fortunate that she has such a great family to help her through her cancer journey. No one wants that journey but she has been very brave. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.
When Jess was lying with her eyes closed, she looked positively angelic
I thought the same thing - she is so beautiful!
She really did!💗💗💗
You should know that you have an entire family here rooting for Jess and you all. And a special shout out to Jack, it's not a easy situation as a brother or sister, not to worry just as much or maybe even more then the parents to a sick sibling. Respect to a young busy man, making time for your family. All the best of health and luck to you all.
All of this. I've been thinking about Jack also. This is a tough one on him too and I wondered how he was getting along. Big hugs to the whole family. One step at a time.
When Mark lovingly put his hand on Jessica forehead, made me tear up, seeing the lo e from her Daddy! 💚❤💚❤
timestamp?
@@howardsheppard8347 10:56
It made me cry when daddy was petting Jess on the head and moving her hair and then when he moved her table and reach down and got her backpack I said dad is ready to take his baby home out loud but nobody here to hear me but it touched my heart it was so sweet
Sandi, I am a volunteer worker in the Disability Office of my Diocese in the States; and, as such, I am in charge of our office's prayer intentions list. I just want you to know that the moment that you and Jess made her diagnosis public, I placed her name on that list (and I pray for her recovery every day). 😇🙏🌈
❤❤❤
Praying for a complete recovery!!! God richly bless you all!!!
I had to endure my own female cancer diagnoses and surgery, so when you started talking about laparoscopic surgery and being cut open again and how tender and painful it is afterwards, I could only flash back to my own recovery and how long it took to get back to my old baseline. it really is something that only another woman who's gone through it would truly understand, and I empathize and send my thoughts and support as best I can while being many thousands of miles away. Im so happy that your daughter has such a wonderful family to love and support her through the entire thing. Doing what she's doing on her own is not something I'd wish on anyone.
how are you doing now? it sounds horrible ❤
I hope you are fine now. Get well
Prayers to your family. Know you are all beong so positive. Love to you all❤❤
Surgery anywhere on the abdomen is painful, especially when you laugh of cough. You realize then just how much those muscles are used for seemingly ordinary things.
The best part of this video was seeing Jess walking Piper into the field❤️🙏
My mom has walked the long journey of chronic illness with me for 48 years now. I was diagnosed with severe auto immune disease at age 7 in 1975. It’s been a long difficult road for both of us, but so grateful we are both still here to talk about it. When I watch these stories I get a better feel for what the moms go through. My best wishes on a full recovery for your lovely daughter.
It brings tears to the eye how brave and beautiful your daughter is. She is an example to us all.
No parent wants their child to hurt. We would take on the pain for them without a whimper. Your daughter is a strong beautiful woman. Prayers for you all.
Thanks for the update on Jess ❤. Warmed my heart when Mark shared his feelings with such vulnerability.😂
😂
Sending up prayers for Jess and your family.
🙏🏻 Dear Heavenly Father please hold Jess in Your arms and give her comfort as You heal her and give the doctors and nurses the knowledge they need to give her the best care always. Thank you. Amen
I love how you have to yell at Piper to not eat the dead bird, that gave me a good laugh. I hope Jess had a speedy recovery.
Don't be afraid to cry for all of us, since we can't hug her, please hug everyday for us. Stay positive everyday, no matter what happens.
This…
As a fellow supporter of a cancer patient I get its stressful, hurts, and you wish you could take it away. But I'm sure she's in excellent hands as my husband is with his oncologist, from both me and my husband you have our prayers and support
As a cancer survivor myself I know it can be stressful I am 10 years free from cancer now
Mine is going through chemo for stage 4 lung cancer, and doing it alone since our family is mostly gone, so these wonderful encouraging comments really make me feel good. Bless you all on your journeys!
Hospitals are FULL of angels...REAL angels! Hugs to your momma heart.
I am currently on the waitlist for a heart transplant and am so anxious for my surgery! One thing I’m grateful for is I don’t know the exact day it will happen so I don’t have a date to have anxiety!
My prayers are with all of you!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏻❤️Payers and Love❤️🙏🏻
PRAYERS
Kally Kat you are on my prayer list every day until you are up and well girl.
May God give you peace in the waiting.
Kelly Kat, wishing you all the best!
You do have a strong daughter. She gets it from you guys.
Jess is such a great daughter, and you are an incredible Mom Sandi!
Decided to have my own medical emergency in sympathy with Jess. Thankful its not the same diagnosis but will need surgery shortly. It'll make tummy surgery no. 11, so I really understand how sore Jess was to start with and so pleased she has recovered so well.
You've spent all your time for a good while looking after others, as willingly as you do it, don't forget to be kind to yourself. 💜
I guess that's what happened to me too. I talk to the surgeon Monday about getting my gallbladder out.
@@angelagendreau3586 Snap, gallbladder too Lol. Goodness isn't it painful! Hope our surgeries go well. 🤞
You and all of your family are in all our thoughts and prayers. Jess will make it through, she's a strong young woman thanks to you and Mark!
Just think of how many people - throughout the world - are rooting for you all today and onwards ❤❤
I loved Jess’s eyebrow wiggle at the very beginning!
A lot in this video. So glad Jess is moving through the process with relative ease, she's a strong woman... wouldn't know where she got that from *wink*. I can see how being in the barn is medicine for you, Sandi; who knew feed, straw, and manure could be so healing? 😂So glad for Jack to get to be around his sis during this time, I am sure that helps the healing as well. Mark's hand... praying for the last 2% to recover swiftly! The cabin is coming right along. I can envision you all enjoying it this summer. I really like the porch area. Great job, family!
So glad to see Jess back home. Piper's reaction to seeing her again was just precious!
Praise God that her surgery went well! She's a strong girl with strong parents that raised her right! I pray she goes through her chemo as easily as I went through mine. Much love and support.❤
As a mom of a child dealing with mental health issues, I can so relate to the immense worry you carry with you in your heart. And you’re so right…no matter how old they get, they are still your baby in your minds eye. May all the moms out there loving, worrying, and striving to protect their babies find peace and comfort in knowing they are not alone! ❤
Hang in there Elizabeth, pain is pain, no matter what or where it is. Prayers for your child's healing, as well as Jess's.
I understand!
Thanks for posting this and normalizing this. I know this walk!
As someone who has been chronically ill since I was 15,now 29,and has to live at home still because of it, I pray Jess recovers quickly and that her journey with health issues is as brief and pain free as possible! It stinks having health issues! I know she has an amazing future ahead of her. And I know seeing me in pain has always been the hardest part for my parents as well. Especially because I'm in pain every second of my life. But I'd rather it be me than them.
My sweet girl i pray for you and i wish. God bless you and give you the miracle that need you. God bless you
I am amazed at the fact that the hospital kept Jess for a few days! What a relief for her pain and recovery. Where I live surgery would have been done in the morning and home by the afternoon. Such a blessing!
Are u from the usa?
@@NoGo1581 yes!
Lovely to see Jess out in the fields with Piper!
The Lord has his arms around all of you. Prayers work wonders. Yes you'll all get through this bump along the way. Prayers for all of you.
Sandi, my daughter was only 5 yrs-old when she had open heart surgery. My mother-heart was feeling you as you spoke of Jess and all that she is going through. Sending love and shooting up prayers for healing and strength. We who follow you are with you, Sandi.
I'm also a mama of a daughter with cancer. When you said seeing her in pain is the worst part, SO TRUE! She's doing well now. Take care of yourself. Praying for you all❤🙏
So glad Jess is home 🎉 You are always going to be their mother no matter how old they are.
Jess is so strong(she comes from strong stock on both sides). You all will continue to be in my prayers.
So glad Jess has got through the surgery. The pain is a healing sign. Each day will get better & once home she will become better every day. All of you have our love. People forget that Mark is affected too cos we don’t see him much in the videos.
My mum was sick all my life. She's long gone now. I can tell about the pain, seeing sb like that.
A strong team is worth more than gold.
Best wishes for Jess' recovery 🌈💜🌈
One day at a time. Many prayers, thoughts and hugs are with you all. 🙏🏻
Just know that the thumbs up I press is a "YOU GO GIRL" thumbs up! Mom power!
I am so glad the surgery went well and that Jess is smiling and not in pain.
Just a couple days after seeing your lovely daughter's video telling of her cancer; I found out I have cancer. Surgery will be done later, only if the chemo and radiation fails. I'm sure you hear a lot of cancer stories, so that's enough about me, lol. Please know that I find your motherly concerns quite normal and not overly dramatic at all. Your family is doing great; to be there when needed is really what she needs right now. 💕
Glad to hear It was fine. Smiling in front of a daughter who is suffering is really hard, Sweet Jess, you and your family have our love and support. Prayers. 🌹🌹🤲🏿🤲🏿❤❤
God always sends us what we need when we need it.😊😊
The "Brock family" is awesome. You guys are so brave watching your little girl in pain. As s mother I fully understand how helpless you must be feeling. Prayers to you all.
I am so happy Jess got through her surgery well. I loved seeing her upright, stronger and walking Piper through the field. I know it is very hard. I also know Jess will WIN THIS BATTLE. I love y'all. God Bless y'all. ✝️ ❤️💛💙💜 🐕 🐕 🐕
It was nice to see Jess with Piper taking a walk outside. Everyday activities are great as they signal a return to normalcy. Sending prayers to you all.🌷🌷
What a relief for you all that the surgery phase of Jesse's treatment is complete & successful! Prayers were answered for that to be done. Loved seeing her in the field walking little Piper for exersize! One day at a time!
I just finished my third 12-week cycle of chemo. It wasn't easy, but it was manageable. You were right on when you said, "We'll get through it."
Gentle hugs for the family and many boops and belly rubs for the pupper
Love and prayers from me, my husbands cancer caregiver. There will be good days and bad days with chemo. Enjoy the good ones and just support Jess during the bad ones. Jess is young and beautiful and today's treatments have improved greatly in the last few years. 🙏🙏
What a lovely family. Keep strong together
Jess is such a fighter and a strong, beautiful woman. All the best to all of you❤
No matter how old we get or our children are, sometimes the light shines on their face as when they were babies. That’s a blessing.
Retired gals need special treatment.
Referring to your spoiled gals
So happy to see Jess looking so good after all she's been through. She's a strong woman, like her Momma. It's so hard to watch family in pain and just have to encourage them, while you're crying inside. Keeping the prayers coming for all of you.
Prayers for Jess
I feel for Jess as she goes for chemo. I had breast cancer & was put on the red devil (even the sound of it caused my nerves to crumble.) I shaved my head within the first week because so much was falling out. She is in my thoughts & prayers no two people have the same experiences because we are individuals with different issues. I just hate that it kills so much good while killing the bad. She has her good little pup to console & help her keep her Spirits high. God bless you all as you are there to support each other. God is our healer so trust Him. He is Absolutely Good.
My BBF also had the red devil she said it’s not pleasant. She’s now 10 years clear. Also breast cancer.
The love and support the Brock family gives to its family members is uplifting and very special. Jess, you're one very strong young woman whom I respect. Sending healing hugs your way 🙏💝
She is a strong young lady like her mom she is going to get stronger every day
Great report on Jess, you, and Mark. I am thankful for answered prayers and will continue to pray that the hand of God is holding Jess in His palm with a sincere and intense focus of healing .
Jess is a strong woman because she has been raised by a strong independent woman. Great video. Hugs to all. The grandpuppy is hilarious.
Remind Mark that recovery is a process and Jess will recover faster. As a physical therapist of 20+ years I have never had someone say they are recovering too fast. Everyone wants to be better faster. I think your family is amazingly resilient and strong. You are often in my thoughts and I eagerly look forward to you vlogs to see how everyone is doing. God bless you all.
Praying for a speedy recovery for Jess and praying for your family.
I have 5 children, many grands and great grands but I'll tell you that when one of mine goes through an illness or hardship it pierces my heart. They never stop being your " kids"!!!
Awww the little one jumping around trying to get someone to jump with him/her..... SOMEONE PLAY WITH MEEEEE! ❤❤
Women feel ‘feelings’ (whatever those are), Men feel ‘full’…because…reasons. It’s amazing how no matter what life brings the sheep still eat, the lambs are still born and need our help and our fields keep growing. God blesses us so richly even in the midst of trial.
You guys got this. Sandy, I know you may not always think it, but because you are a strong woman, you set Jess up to have the strength to deal with this. (Obviously dad played a part in all this too, but I don't think he doubts himself the way you do. ) Sending all the positive thoughts your way.
I am so very glad that your baby is doing well. So happy she is not in so much pain. We are hoping that she is on the way to being cancer free.
She's a tough girl. She has your grit. Everyone is pulling for Jess.
My sister got ovarian cancer at 28. Had to have a complete hysterectomy. Three years later got breast cancer. 10 years later get colon cancer. She's still fighting it but she's a fighter. Your baby girl is going to be fine. God's got her. Love you Hun.
So beautiful to see Mark tenderly rub his daughter's forehead. I'm crying with you. This too shall pass. Sending prayers 🙏🙏 for healing & peace of mind & heart 💕💕
I’m so glad to see Jess safely through her surgery . She is so strong because she has you all there for her. The little reunion with Piper was so sweet. But then my favourite thing about your farm is that you have kept the Golden girls as pets. The love for animals shines through.
I love that you still call her “our little girl” even though she’s an adult ❤
You got this, Jess. You're strong. Sending love and blessings 🌒🌕🌘 . To Sandi and Mark, our thoughts and love. Cuddle for your furbabies and all those beautiful lambykins. ❤🐑🐑🐑🐑
My thoughts and prayers are with you all❣️ Keep the faith 🙏
You and your family are always in our church's prayers and hearts. Keep strong, Momma Sandi. You have a mountain of us supporting all of you! Sending all the love & well wishes! Here is our well wish for a smooth recovery for Jess. It's a battle she has a wonderful support system already in place for her. Keep your chin up! You are doing an amazing job!
Sandi: So Mark, how are you feeling about all this?
Mark: I just want to take my daughter home
True Dad Answer right there, I love it
❤❤❤
Made so emotional when Mark said that.
🌟💜💝💝💝
The cabin is looking so nice. It was good to see Jess walking at the end.
Isn’t that “momma bear” instinct strong?!! It really comes out in times like this. ❤️❤️❤️
As a child with no children, and a mom in heaven, I’m so grateful she didn’t see my last 10 years. Four back surgeries and open heart surgery, I can’t imagine what she would have gone through. The pain I was in and worrying about not being able to get to retirement age working would have been too much for her to bear. So I can imagine how you must feel, Sandi, watching your child hurting. Lots of hugs to both.
We are in a similar situations and I think you know it's how well the pain is controlled coming out of surgery is how well you do afterwards. I've had 3 back surgeries and 4 neck and I became disabled in my 30's. I had no choice because I couldn't sit or stand and walking was limited. I've been very lucky and had very good hospitals and surgeons but my problems will never be fixed.
I’d like to thank you for sharing such a painful , emotional and personal experience. Your families story helps so many people. In some ways your sharing helps ease the stress and pain of going through trauma ourselves. A big thank you. ❤❤
My son was hospitalized 44 time between 9 months and 12 years of age. I know how hard it is , I would pray for God to take this all from him and give it to me. He's been pretty healthy since he turned 12 and very healthy as an adult. Thing can work out very well. My prays are for great health for your beautiful daughter.
