  • Well, another week of making plans and changing plans on the farm seems to have infiltrated into life as our Jess got some news that may change the trajectory of her chemotherapy treatment.
    Summer harvest rolls on and the pressure builds as weather threatens us in our last field of winter wheat...
    We called Jack home for a hand, because Danny was also coming to bale the rest of our straw and I DIDN'T want a repeat of last week and wet straw bales.
    In the sheep barn, we had a bit of a leak with the nanny... we pulled the boys from the girls pens, and I made a bit of a discovery with a couple of our Golden Girls... looks like we may have arthritis.

    When Jess feels capable of doing her own appointments, let her. Don't feel guilty! It helps HER to feel human and well and like she is helping YOU and that's the biggest win you can be offered during cancer treatment.

    • @heather486
      @heather486 Před rokem +102

      Agreed! If she is feeling good enough it lets her regain a little bit of independence, which is definitely lost with illnesses, especially cancer

    • @YuubiTimberwolf
      @YuubiTimberwolf Před rokem +75

      Totally, it also grants her the feeling of control back into her life and independcy she must miss.

    • @martinemikita9281
      @martinemikita9281 Před rokem +58

      Very well said!!! Especially bc she's newly an adult... letting her have that in her control probably gives her motivation and a sense of accomplishment!!! ❤

    • @ruthrogers8011
      @ruthrogers8011 Před rokem +43

      Exactly! So much of dealing with cancer and everything that comes with it is more mental than anything, and regaining some independence can be a really big boost that is much needed at this point in one's "journey" with cancer.

    • @gregedmand9939
      @gregedmand9939 Před rokem +38

      Yes let her flex. The worst part about being chronically ill is feeling like you're a anchor for everyone around you. Jess sees how hard you all are working in the fields and feels guilty for both not being able to help with the labour, and taking you away from that work to care for her.

  • @leewhite-graham753

    Good grief Sandi! My admiration for you knows no bounds! Handling sheep farming, agricultural farming, everyday life, raising a family, being married, staying on top of machinery, the weather, running a business, a CZcams channel & editing, all on top of helping a very sick young lady cope with cancer and oh yeah, getting time to enjoy yourself. If THAT isn't the definition of a superwoman, I dont know what is! Sending much love to you and your family!!!❤
    Edit: OH, and dealing with crop fungus, and animal diseases. Holy mackerel!

    Sandi, please give yourself grace. You’re an amazing wife, mom, farmer and raise sheep. I really believe that Jess is going to be healed and be back to herself really soon. Chris, she’s such a awesome hard working lady. I don’t know what it is about watching y’all farm so hard that it literally brings tears to me. My husband was raised from a family of farmers in Oklahoma. He started when he was 6 to when he went to college. He’s now 71. Of course back then they didn’t have tractors like they do today. He tells stories about if a farmer had problems the other farmers would all stop on their fields and go help them. It’s a wonderful way of life and also very hard. Thank y’all for your hard work in helping to feed us. We would gladly take some of y’all’s rain here in Texas where we live. We haven’t had a drop since May. It’s been extremely hot and tough. This is an amazing video of you sharing a bit of your story with us. Y’all are so amazing and it’s great to see Jack. When it’s crunch time, everyone comes together. Y’all have raised really great kids. Continuing to pray for Jess and your family. ❤

      When I was pregnant with awful nausea and vomiting I could always eat M&Ms and Snickers. One weekend after puking the whole time I sent my husband out for a ham & cheese sub and Pepsi. Really heavy food after being so sick but it went down and stayed down.

I think it made it worse, that longing did not go away. Endometriosis is EVIL. After almost 23 years it is still causing issues. They put me back on Premarin….now, I know why I stopped with it!

    Hi Sandi. I have been watching your channel for so long that sometimes when my husband come home from work he says, “Oh it’s the sheep lady!” This might be the first time I have commented because I did not have a way to do it before on my tv but I can now. What a good moment to see Jess and the family just relaxing and being nerdy. Haha. The dogs and the frisbee! I just need to let you know that I am out here in West Virginia and I care. My daughter when she was 26 got breast cancer at the beginning of the pandemic while she lived in North Carolina and her doctors would not let me come “infect” her environment. I spent 6 months worrying to death about her until they would let me drive down and stay with her for her double mastectomy. Thank goodness she had a special guy friend who lived in her house with her and took care of her while I was not able to. But I just want you to know that this journey you all are on requires superheroes. And Jess is a superhero. She is a warrior. God bless you all. You are in my heartfelt prayers.

Those are two huge steps. She seemed to handle it well so don't be so hard on yourself. Jess looks neat with her little fuzz on her head. She is a really strong person that can let mom video her in this situation and she gets that strength from you and Mark. Hugs and prayers to all of you.

And THEN I saw the title of this video and my heart sank. I was headed out the door to do groceries and stopped in my tracks to watch. The news wasn’t as bad as I feared and really enjoyed watching you guys harvest. I love your sheep vids, but I have learned so much about grains since watching you guys. I do not look at my bread the same way anymore. Thank you for what you do and letting me peek into your life! It is always enjoyable even if there is a bit of bad news. Thank you again!

My daughter-in-law is a pilot for United, I ran the family farm and served in the state legislature. My mom and all the other women in my family are strong and I raised two sons who respect career women and one with two daughters. My boys are true partners in their marriages the way I see you and Mark.You are a team. I have seen how it has helped you work together through this awful disease with your daughter. And yes, being a mom of two men, you've done a great job with Jack too. the love he has for his sister really shows.

    You might try glucosamine, chondroitin MSM or just MSM powder mixed in with the grain for your arthritic ewes. You can get a tub of powder for horses would probably be far less expensive and easier to give than metacam. Keeping Rideau crosses will still leave you with replacement ewes producung triplet, quads or more. You should keep your Dorset sired ewe lambs back if you want mostly twins and a few triplets.

It probably felt good for Jess to take care of her appointment for herself - as a retired RN, I was thrilled to hear about her (as it was called when I was in school) "self care agency".

      With such unsettled weather it can hit the joints hard. Sandi will have to check with her vet to see if there is something for the inflammation.

Her cancer is terminal and we are all making memories with her and praising God for each additional good day she has. It’s been a tough year. Both of her husband parents passed away 6 months apart and they were living with my daughter and son in law. My poor grandsons have witnessed so much loss and they could use prays or positive vibes sent their way. 💕 Love ya all very much❤️🤍❤️

So my mom stuffed herself full of green veggies over the weekend and by Monday, her blood count was back up and she was doing great. I hope Jess can finish her chemo strong on this new schedule. She is in my prayers. And don't beat yourself up Sandi. I know as a parent, you always want to be there for your babies, but there is only one you, and Jess knows you do your best. Good luck!
