I have been following your mom for a few years. I found her while I was stuck in bed from my own cancer treatments. You have a great attitude about all this so far. I'm very proud of you. Keep up the positive attitude as much as possible. And don't forget "This is only a blip of time in your life and it will be over sooner than you think" ❤
I found your mom’s CZcams channel on one of my sleepless nights due to phantom pain in my imaginary feet. I lost both of my legs in a horrific trucking accident 13 years ago. Anyway I have been watching your mom’s channel for 3 years or so now and I fell in love with her entire family. When you announced you had cancer I cried my heart out and even as I type this I’m the tears are falling. Just remember you and your family have a whole world of people that are praying for all of you. Hang in there sweetie and kick cancer’s ass because I know you are strong enough to do it. Hugs ❤
I really hope that you have told your professors about your situation. Many of your professors do have the ability to adjust the weighting of your assignments, tests, labs, mid terms, etc. The worst thing that could happen is they will say “no, I can’t do anything about your marks” but if you’re lucky they can adjust things for you. Remember some of your courses do build on each other from year to year. BUT, not all of them do. Some of them are just a one off and if you don’t do well in a given course it won’t really matter. You aren’t really going to want to repeat them. Nothing worse than being kicked when you’re down. Speaking to your professors won’t hurt and it might help. Sending you love and praying for you and your family. 🥰
This! I had a prof tell me after the fact, when I opened up about how my mental health had gone downhill due to stress, that he had been worried something was wrong but wasn’t in a position to butt in which I totally understand. Unfortunately it was too late and my GPA took the hit.
DJ, unfortunately, many professors don't care, even though you've communicated your situation with them. When I was almost done with my masters degree in nursing education, my mom passed away. The professor refused to allow me a couple of extra days to finish my paper. Sad. Anyway, I met the deadline! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
I was thinking about your exams. It reminded me when 3 weeks before my paper was due I fell face first on asphalt at work. The research paper was my whole grade. Broke my glasses,damaged my face. Could not type. My professor gave me an extention. It was hard recovering and going to school.. Do what is best for you. Classes will be there later. Does your wish list include audio books. I found sometimes it is easier to listen than holding a book or kindle. Prayers and blessings.
I realize that while this was posted less than an hour ago, most likely you are in hospital recovering from the surgery. Been keeping you showered in prayer. Am sure if things are really rough for you, your mom will share. I know, it...will get better.
May God hold you in his healing embrace as you continue on this challenging journey. And may He ease the hearts and minds of your family as they support you. You have my prayers each and every day.
You're such a good mommy for Piper, I hope she outgrows the trachea problem. Also, I of course wish it were under different circumstances, but it's so heartwarming to see you and your own mommy spending time together away from the farm. ❤
That book with the gold is a work of art...I find it rare to find the younger generations to talk about books so it is refreshing to see you so excited by books...I love books and have a huge collection...I find a good book takes me away to a comforting place where my imagination can run wild...it is great to see how you are making out and look forward to all your updates...it takes a lot to share something like cancer but you do it in a graceful way...thank you gor that...Take care Love...HUGS HUGS HUGS from Nova Scotia HUGS HUGS HUGS you can never have too many HUGS
Hope this response finds you feeling better today after your big surgery on the 28th. I'm sending something to your Mom's box that my daughter found enjoyable recovering from hers and while dealing with chemotherapy. She said it kept her mind and hands busy and was therapeutic. Don't overdo and master patience and kindness to yourself.💙
Beautiful young woman in a terrible fight. She has victory in her future I can just feel it! Hang on Jess you got this and we got you. Let us know what you need or want. Puppy is adorable.❤😊
Prayers to you and your family. I had a total organ removal at age 23. I decided to live the best life I could the only difference I had 2 children. Just take one day at a time. It been over 50 years and I still live one day at a time
Piper is so cute!! Vlog when you can and when you want to. Don’t apologise for not filming. It’s very much helping me my son is currently in treatment and it helps to see someone else going through the same process.
Just the sound of you holding the books and the pages flipping and the crinkling of a freshly opened book cover just makes me want to read 🤩 I can smell the fresh pages through the screen!!
I think it is amazing that you’re documenting all of this. I’m in college for film and editing so I love documenting stuff and making videos. I recently lost my grandpa and although he didn’t die from cancer, one of the causes of his health decline was that he had rapidly spreading bone cancer among other issues that caused him to pass along. Praying for you and your family. Hope all treatments and procedures go well.❤
Hi, Jess! I just want to say I think your choice to sit for exams but not stress or cram for them is a really smart one. First of all, whatever you pass, you just cross off your list and move on - don't look back, don't regret, don't think about it any more. And any you don't, well, as I've pointed out to my kid many times, there is NO TIME LIMIT on completing your education. The [x number of] years people usually aim for is just completely arbitrary, and there is no reason you have to reach any one goal at any one time. I think focusing on what's most important - your mental and physical health, your friends and family, your sweet Piper, and any other facets of your support system - those are where your energy should be focused at this time, which is what you seem to be doing. Anyway, I just wanted to throw in there that I agree wholeheartedly with your choice. And add one more voice of support to the pile. Hugs to you and the whole family 💜
I agree! You'll be glad to have those exams off your mind while you have so much else going on. It also shows your thoughtfulness in making the best decisions for you.
Hi sweet Jess! I love that you're into reading too. It seems like the only time I can devote to reading is when I'm in bed for the night. Days can be so hectic and full...much like yours have been lately. I'm in love with Piper! She is so adorable. I think you are an amazing woman and that you are handling the "one day at a time" philosophy wonderfully well. Please know that many prayers are headed your way. You are so loved sweetie! God bless you on this leg your journey. ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🙏
I love your attitude and positivity through all this. I found your mom when I needed her the most she was, and still is the inspiration I needed to get out of bed every day. I hope this journey is the shortest out of the many that are still to come for you.
So many great books. They will come in very handy while going through your treatments and afterwards. You're a Very Strong Young Lady you'll do great through treatments and have your Amazing Family there by your side also. All of you are in my prayers. Peace from WV
Jess you are gonna beat that cancer up with your awesome attitude. When my mom was having her treatment the nurses told me that a positive attitude is half the battle. My mom was very depressed. But you got this. You are my hero.
Stay strong jess ,you have got this ,just love piper ,don't worry about exams you can always retake .the most important thing is to concentrate on you, you really are the most amazing young woman .sending love and positive thoughts ❤
Jess, I think you're still in your second year? Don't let those marks get to you - year 3 and 4 matter, and you're a smart cookie who can overcome this when you're ready to go back. If grad school is in your future, this is one of those things you use as a talking point in applications to show your ability to overcome adversity and use for building resiliency (even though we see you and know you're acing that department). In the end, it's just a couple of classes. If no grad school... C's get degrees, girl! Learning isn't only about what you pick up from classes - you're well ahead of so many people with all you learn from your parents, on the farm, and through work. Glad to see you're taking this head on, and thanks for taking us along on your journey. I am sure there is so much more going on in the background that we don't see, so continue to be kind and gentle to yourself.
Oh what a sweetie your little Piper is. Hope she gets better soon. When you read this you will have had your procedure done, wishing you a speedy surgical recovery. You will be betterat home with your dearest Parents and Piper to help your recovery. Take care and much prayers for you.❤🙏❤
Jess, thank you for the update - I was wondering how you’re doing ❤ Piper is absolutely adorable and thank goodness she’s not sick. It looks like you’re having mostly nice spring weather where you live, which is fun to share with your canine child. I’m glad you’re done with the semester so you can concentrate on your health, which is the most important thing. Stay strong and positive - your CZcams family is sending you love and healing energy🌹
❤Hello Jess, beautiful woman. Piper is the cutest ever. Adorable❤ Thank you to Jess' peeps for the thoughtful gifts. Kindness is such a wonderful virtue.❤ We love you, Jess, and are praying for you ❤Alaska Granny
Jess, please put together a list of snacks, treats, skincare items and other comfort items you like or would like to try that you might not buy for yourself. Cancer treatments really affect the whole body and any pampering and things to entire you to eat will be a huge help when you are feeling less than normal. Peppermint and ginger can help with your nausea especially when they haven't yet prescribed a anti nausea medication. Even just smelling peppermint essential oil which you can apply to your forehead and temples and has the added benefit of helping to prevent headaches. As with everything what works for some people doesn't always work for others which is why having different options to try can really help. Include some unscented items because some times the treatments can make you hyper sensitive to various scents or smells. What are your favorite colors, sizes, etc. You might want some gift cards to your favorite store or Amazon because holding heavy books can be a problem and having a way of adding new titles to your Kindle along with Audible books might come in handy for those not so great days. You have a huge group of people praying for you and you will beat cancers butt. Sending you lots of healing Reiki energy and prayers. From one survivor to another.💜
Hey Jess, first off I’d like say sorry that you’re exams didn’t go as good as you hoped but in all fairness they are never any fun, and second I’m glad you’re doing good and being in a happy mood and I love it so much that you have so much happiness around you that’s all you ever need and love seeing the new puppy as well hopefully she’s doing good as well, hope you have a blessed week and sending lots of prayers and hugs your way and to your family as well.❤️❤️
You are a beautiful young woman, I've been watching your mom for a while now. She is great. You're one lucky daughter to have a special mom. Piper is so cute, I hope she outgrows her problem. ❤❤❤❤❤
Jess, you and your whole family are loved and wholeheartedly supported! You are beautiful and blessed! I've been following you since Sandi posted that you had an announcement. And I have been praying for you all almost nonstop. You will make a miraculous recovery, and I can't wait until you say you're cancer free! Hang in there, my friend! The entire Brock Flock is here for you, anytime, any place. I'm sending warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
Reading is such a beautiful outlet. My dad gave me a book when I was 17 yrs old. It opened up a whole new world. Now at 59 all my interest have changed as far as what I read. But, I will be forever grateful for the gift my dad introduced me into. 📚
Hello from northern BC! I’m a 64 yr with a large family of grown up kids and grandkids. My hubby and I love your channel and your family! I’m not big for making comments but I just wanted to send my love and prayers to you all❤ Jess you are a brave girl and me and my family are rooting for you. My oldest daughter battled anal cancer for almost 2 years - during quarantine. She is a fierce warrior but a gentle soul. Thankfully she is in remission! Sandy , my 11 year old grandson dropped by the other day and we were watching your channel with ewes birthing lambs and suddenly realized maybe this may be too graphic for my grandson. Nope he loved it and said “ Cool - they just poop them out and there’s a baby sheep” I told his dad and he laughed so hard. We figure he’ll be the star of his next sex ed class😅
Gotta love that Piper, how can you not smile and feel better looking at that face! Loving your haircut more and more, its really cute. Happy things are going well for the most part and praying it continues.
Narrow trachea is congenital. It tends to run in families and a parent with it or close relatives should not be bred IMO as it rarely grows out. You have an amazing outlook and its the best way to be practical, well informed and with loads of support..You got this!!
Continued prayers for you and your family. You seem to be so strong. You have grown to be a remarkable woman. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. From Montgomery al ❤️ 💕
I want to thank you for sharing your life - for better or for worse - with the world. I too have recently been diagnosed with cancer and your vlogs give me the courage to keep plodding through to the next day. You are so special and such a blessing. I wish you luck on your exams and of course I continue praying for your health.
I totally understand about keeping doctors in the loop! I bought a 5 subject notebook and every specialist have their section. Some of my dr’s will even write notes back and forth! You’re in my thoughts and prayers! I’m sorry that you’re going through this, but you’re going to kick cancers ass!! If you ever need anything from a fellow cancer warriors let me know! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We have been hanging with your mom for years the least we can do is to stand behind her daughter, we love you Jess and our prayers are always with you, You keep your spirits up and that great smile. Because I love your videos. ❤❤🙏🙏🤗🤗
Love seeing you and Piper when you get a chance to post on your channel.❤ You and your family are always in my heart, and I think of you often as you move through the next milestones of treatment. I think your surgery was done this past Friday, if I remember correctly... Healing vibes from here in Summerville to you in Ontario! Hugs! ❤
Your great attitude is the key to your success. Prayers for you and your family. Piper is your miracle drug and it’s obvious she adores you too. Keep up the good work. By the way your haircut is fabulous.
Jess, there's soooo many people cheering you on!!!! Lots of us have been through our own journeys. This will be yours. Reach out when you need to. Take time & care for yourself when needed. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT ANYONE SAYS.... YOU DO YOU BOOOO 🤗🧋🧋
We have watched you grow up on youtube. You're like one of our family to your moms subscribers . A neice we see every so often. Some of us are old enough to be your grandparent. The only way we can show our support is by liking your vlogs. You have our prayers and support though this. It's good that your saving your eggs. Even if you change your mind later, you now have that option. Medicine has gone so far in the last decade. Cancer used to be a death sentence.....it is slowly turning into another curable illness. Hang in there Jess! We have your 6. Tests can be redone, classes done over....but you only get one life,live it to the fullest!
Little Piper is so adorable. Hope her trach gets better. Hope you take it easy and have a speedy recovery after your surgery. My brother is battling 2 cancers at the moment. He has colon cancer and leukemia. Cancer not only affects you, it impacts on family and friends too. My best wishes hugs
Sending hugs! I am waiting for my cancer results to come back on the 10th…seeing your documentation allows me to mentally prep for the worst. Once again sending hugs! 💜💜
You have the cutest puppy -- she must be a lot of fun and cuddles. We have a 13 year old Chinese Crested Hairless Dog. I remember his puppy days -- lots and lots of running around, throwing squeeky toys and playing with his brother Max (Powderpuff Chinese Creste Dog i.e. with a beautifull double coat of hair). The boys were pretty busy and very loving -- we also had a rescue cat named Gem who kept all of us in line. We went to a local Pet Smart to check out the cats and she reached out of the cage and grabbed my husband's coat. We'd always had Siamese cats before but ... not this time -- we got an almost feral kitten who was very, very busy her first year with us. All of us knew Gem was the boss! We've been lucky to have pets in our 33 years together. They make us laugh and they give a lot of joy and love. I couldn't have children so we're aunties and uncles and have our own fur babies. I have been one of your mother's viewers for a few years -- when my husband first told me about how good her vlog was -- I was puzzled -- why would I want to watch sheep -- the answer of course is the sheep are only a small part of watching your mother's vlog. She is an amazing woman who cares about her family and flock and friends and more. Watching her has been wonderful -- she is interesting and I've learned a lot about lots of things. Your father is funny -- a hard working, talented man -- who occassionally shows up and lets us see his humour and love for your mother -- prize episodes -- when they went on vacation and he got on her board and sunk both of them -- and of course the cute wiggle in his new hunting suit. You are going thru a very difficult time, but have good support from your family, friends and vloggers. I love to see your pleasure in reading -- books are a large part of our lives. Welcome to the club. Back to your puppy --she is just adorable. Best of luck as you go thru a very difficult time. Sending you hugs and best wishes.
Hey pretty lady! I am respecting your wishes about unsolicited advice. I have had 17 major surgeries between 2016-2019 in Toronto, many surgeons/doctors involved too. Just a friendly little tip, whenever you check in with an office, ask the receptionist to have each doctor/surgeon listed in your chart to have all chart notes, surgical/procedure notes sent to. That way it becomes automatic and you don't have to remember everything. Also, any time you get test results, procedures done etc, you can request a paper copy for yourself. I did that and kept it in a folder that I took with me to every appointment. That way if anything didn't get sent, you have your own copy with you that you can share with whomever you like. It also comes in handy if, God forbid, you ever had to go to emergency you have all important info with you. I used to be a nurse and I can attest that sometimes our charts aren't always complete or up to date in our provincial computer system, especially if we have to go to another hospital. Some hospitals also use different computer systems and having your own copy makes things go smoother and faster. Not telling you what to do by any means, just passing along a couple of tips that can be helpful, if you choose. No biggie. Keep kicking cancers butt! We all believe in you! Thanks and praise from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
Awww Puppy Piper kisses 😘… do what you need to do … we’re here to support that. I just love that you opened up this whole story…. Continue to pray. Momma Sandi is the best. ❤ we’re here for you.
I like this vlog. Don’t worry too much about your channel, we understand why you’re busy lately. My favourite part is when you said “This has been the funnest week” because of the books. Your puppy is adorable & clearly missed you 🥰. I hope everything goes much better than you thought it would ❤
You are loved! ❤ You have a wonderful support team that will get you through this next chapter of life! Keep your eyes on Him, He will direct your path… 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Jess, do your professors know of your medical situation? Maybe they would pass you on their courses just for what you are going through. I continue to pray for you and your family during this journey. Give Piper a hug from me❤️
Hi Jess, I am happy to see your spirits are up and you are smiling a lot. You have received some beautiful gifts and I can tell you are very grateful. I keep u in my prayers.
Jess, your intestinal fortitude (guts) through all you are going through is such an inspiration! Hang in there and just "Do You" and try to maintain your incredible positivity. We are all so proud of you. Keep reading. It's so fun to get lost in the written word, in someone else's fantasy. There's something so therapeutic about reading, turning the pages, absorbing the words, inhaling the scent of the ink and paper pulp. Let your books help you through the next step in your journey! We are all thinking and praying for you! You've got this, stay strong! XOX 💕🤍💕
Please put you first, not us. Vloging is nice, but we all want you better. I'm so happy to see your positive attitude, taking things in stride, and coping well. Your mom is a rock of strength and the deepest pool of love you'll find, cherish the relationship. Hugs!!
So good to hear from you and the update. I hope the eggs retrieval procedure went well and was successful. (Both of my daughters had to go through fertility, as well). I’m so glad this semester is over for you so that you can now concentrate on you and the next step in your life. Lil Piper is a great distraction for you. I’m loving the new hair style - it looks good on you! Take care and I look forward to more updates as you travel on this journey. Love, hugs, and prayers!💕🙏🏻🙃🍀
Jessica, I read my first book cover to cover when I was 30 years old. One summer I decided I was going to read a book and that was all there was to it. I read "Dances with wolves" It was so amazing and such an easy read. I haven't been able to stop reading since then. I had lots of catching up to do. Enjoy your new Hobby.
Keeping you in my prayers after your most recent surgery last Friday. Piper is so adorable. She will be the best kind of distraction. Your love of reading will be great at keeping your mind occupied!
I have been following your mom for a few years. I found her while I was stuck in bed from my own cancer treatments. You have a great attitude about all this so far. I'm very proud of you. Keep up the positive attitude as much as possible. And don't forget "This is only a blip of time in your life and it will be over sooner than you think" ❤
I also found Sandra's CZcams page while I had 2 lymphomas in 2 years.
Same here. I've been watching Sandra for a few years. My heart is with the entire family and friends.
I found your mom’s CZcams channel on one of my sleepless nights due to phantom pain in my imaginary feet. I lost both of my legs in a horrific trucking accident 13 years ago. Anyway I have been watching your mom’s channel for 3 years or so now and I fell in love with her entire family.
When you announced you had cancer I cried my heart out and even as I type this I’m the tears are falling. Just remember you and your family have a whole world of people that are praying for all of you. Hang in there sweetie and kick cancer’s ass because I know you are strong enough to do it.
Hugs ❤
Amen, Andrea! She has all of us to support her! And, you, my friend! Sending love, warmth, and prayers from Alabama ❤️
@@evonnewhalen9794wow! That was bad accident

I'm so happy the books 📚 will keep your mind on other things.😊
God bless you and your family.
You got this 👍
You are so kind. Books are the best gift.
You are very kind Mary..keep that positive attitude Jess, it goes a long way, best wishes to you and your family on your healing journey 🙏

Hang in there Jessica! It won’t be easy, but you’ve got this nailed! Love the puppy!

I loved watching Piper roll across the blanket until she got on the sofa. She is a cutie. I hope you are feeling better.
Praying for your health ❤❤
I am loving the Bob haircut on you. Sending healing and happy vibes ❤
I love your attitude and positivity through all this. I found your mom when I needed her the most she was, and still is the inspiration I needed to get out of bed every day. I hope this journey is the shortest out of the many that are still to come for you.
Did you get the book that was printed wrong replaced Jess? Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey, love little piper. ❤ Michelle from 🇦🇺
You opening the door, oh my god that made me think if your moms videos. ❤ You both.
You have such a wonderful spirit, full of positivity and light! Your vlogs are wonderful. Thank you!
You are so strong, even when you are struggling. If you don't feel like vlogging then take the time you need.
Looks like you're keeping your spirits up, GOOD FOR YOU!!! That pup is a big bundle of adorable.
Piper is so adorable 🥰
So many great books. They will come in very handy while going through your treatments and afterwards. You're a Very Strong Young Lady you'll do great through treatments and have your Amazing Family there by your side also. All of you are in my prayers. Peace from WV
Jess you are gonna beat that cancer up with your awesome attitude. When my mom was having her treatment the nurses told me that a positive attitude is half the battle. My mom was very depressed. But you got this. You are my hero.
Sending love and prayers! Piper is so so cute. She is the perfect puppy for you.
Stay strong jess ,you have got this ,just love piper ,don't worry about exams you can always retake .the most important thing is to concentrate on you, you really are the most amazing young woman .sending love and positive thoughts ❤
Enjoy the books! Your positivity is a god send and it will see you through this blip in your life! Onward and upward! Piper is adorable!
Jess, I think you're still in your second year? Don't let those marks get to you - year 3 and 4 matter, and you're a smart cookie who can overcome this when you're ready to go back. If grad school is in your future, this is one of those things you use as a talking point in applications to show your ability to overcome adversity and use for building resiliency (even though we see you and know you're acing that department). In the end, it's just a couple of classes. If no grad school... C's get degrees, girl! Learning isn't only about what you pick up from classes - you're well ahead of so many people with all you learn from your parents, on the farm, and through work. Glad to see you're taking this head on, and thanks for taking us along on your journey. I am sure there is so much more going on in the background that we don't see, so continue to be kind and gentle to yourself.
Oh what a sweetie your little Piper is. Hope she gets better soon.
When you read this you will have had your procedure done, wishing you a speedy surgical recovery. You will be betterat home with your dearest Parents and Piper to help your recovery. Take care and much prayers for you.❤🙏❤
Jess, thank you for the update - I was wondering how you’re doing ❤ Piper is absolutely adorable and thank goodness she’s not sick. It looks like you’re having mostly nice spring weather where you live, which is fun to share with your canine child. I’m glad you’re done with the semester so you can concentrate on your health, which is the most important thing. Stay strong and positive - your CZcams family is sending you love and healing energy🌹
❤Hello Jess, beautiful woman. Piper is the cutest ever. Adorable❤ Thank you to Jess' peeps for the thoughtful gifts. Kindness is such a wonderful virtue.❤ We love you, Jess, and are praying for you ❤Alaska Granny
Jess, please put together a list of snacks, treats, skincare items and other comfort items you like or would like to try that you might not buy for yourself. Cancer treatments really affect the whole body and any pampering and things to entire you to eat will be a huge help when you are feeling less than normal. Peppermint and ginger can help with your nausea especially when they haven't yet prescribed a anti nausea medication. Even just smelling peppermint essential oil which you can apply to your forehead and temples and has the added benefit of helping to prevent headaches. As with everything what works for some people doesn't always work for others which is why having different options to try can really help. Include some unscented items because some times the treatments can make you hyper sensitive to various scents or smells. What are your favorite colors, sizes, etc. You might want some gift cards to your favorite store or Amazon because holding heavy books can be a problem and having a way of adding new titles to your Kindle along with Audible books might come in handy for those not so great days. You have a huge group of people praying for you and you will beat cancers butt. Sending you lots of healing Reiki energy and prayers. From one survivor to another.💜
For your finals… I’m so proud of you for taking your finals. With what you’re going through, just taking them is an AMAZING accomplishment!❤
Hey Jess, first off I’d like say sorry that you’re exams didn’t go as good as you hoped but in all fairness they are never any fun, and second I’m glad you’re doing good and being in a happy mood and I love it so much that you have so much happiness around you that’s all you ever need and love seeing the new puppy as well hopefully she’s doing good as well, hope you have a blessed week and sending lots of prayers and hugs your way and to your family as well.❤️❤️
You are a beautiful young woman, I've been watching your mom for a while now. She is great. You're one lucky daughter to have a special mom. Piper is so cute, I hope she outgrows her problem. ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you had a good week. Cool books and, of course, CUTE Piper!
Jess, you and your whole family are loved and wholeheartedly supported! You are beautiful and blessed! I've been following you since Sandi posted that you had an announcement. And I have been praying for you all almost nonstop. You will make a miraculous recovery, and I can't wait until you say you're cancer free! Hang in there, my friend! The entire Brock Flock is here for you, anytime, any place. I'm sending warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
Reading is such a beautiful outlet. My dad gave me a book when I was 17 yrs old. It opened up a whole new world. Now at 59 all my interest have changed as far as what I read. But, I will be forever grateful for the gift my dad introduced me into. 📚
Prayers for you and your family.
Hello from northern BC! I’m a 64 yr with a large family of grown up kids and grandkids. My hubby and I love your channel and your family! I’m not big for making comments but I just wanted to send my love and prayers to you all❤ Jess you are a brave girl and me and my family are rooting for you. My oldest daughter battled anal cancer for almost 2 years - during quarantine. She is a fierce warrior but a gentle soul. Thankfully she is in remission! Sandy , my 11 year old grandson dropped by the other day and we were watching your channel with ewes birthing lambs and suddenly realized maybe this may be too graphic for my grandson. Nope he loved it and said “ Cool - they just poop them out and there’s a baby sheep” I told his dad and he laughed so hard. We figure he’ll be the star of his next sex ed class😅
Little miss is so sdorable. Great job staying upbeat. You and all your family deserve all the good vibes.
Beautiful books for a beautiful human ❤️ Blessings for your journey. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🌻🥰
Gotta love that Piper, how can you not smile and feel better looking at that face! Loving your haircut more and more, its really cute. Happy things are going well for the most part and praying it continues.
Narrow trachea is congenital. It tends to run in families and a parent with it or close relatives should not be bred IMO as it rarely grows out.
You have an amazing outlook and its the best way to be practical, well informed and with loads of support..You got this!!
😊 prayers coming
Thank you for sharing. Sending you my prayers, support, love & respect.
Continued prayers sent, Piper is adorable ❤️
Praying and cheering for you from afar!
Hold tight to your positive attitude and hug your sweet pup a bunch...
Continued prayers for you and your family. You seem to be so strong. You have grown to be a remarkable woman. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. From Montgomery al ❤️ 💕
Piper is so CUTE!
Prayers for you, your medical team, family and friends.
I want to thank you for sharing your life - for better or for worse - with the world. I too have recently been diagnosed with cancer and your vlogs give me the courage to keep plodding through to the next day. You are so special and such a blessing. I wish you luck on your exams and of course I continue praying for your health.
I totally understand about keeping doctors in the loop! I bought a 5 subject notebook and every specialist have their section. Some of my dr’s will even write notes back and forth! You’re in my thoughts and prayers! I’m sorry that you’re going through this, but you’re going to kick cancers ass!! If you ever need anything from a fellow cancer warriors let me know! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We have been hanging with your mom for years the least we can do is to stand behind her daughter, we love you Jess and our prayers are always with you, You keep your spirits up and that great smile. Because I love your videos. ❤❤🙏🙏🤗🤗
Наша Джесс наконец-то перестала стесняться своей внешности. Всё обойдётся. Главное верить. В любом случае: всё делается к лучшему.
Love seeing you and Piper when you get a chance to post on your channel.❤ You and your family are always in my heart, and I think of you often as you move through the next milestones of treatment. I think your surgery was done this past Friday, if I remember correctly... Healing vibes from here in Summerville to you in Ontario! Hugs! ❤
Your puppy ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So glad your procedure went well!
Your great attitude is the key to your success. Prayers for you and your family. Piper is your miracle drug and it’s obvious she adores you too. Keep up the good work. By the way your haircut is fabulous.
Jess, there's soooo many people cheering you on!!!! Lots of us have been through our own journeys. This will be yours. Reach out when you need to. Take time & care for yourself when needed. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT ANYONE SAYS.... YOU DO YOU BOOOO 🤗🧋🧋
Jess..love and prayers to you and your beautiful family.stay strong and positive 💕💕💕🙏🙏🥰
We have watched you grow up on youtube. You're like one of our family to your moms subscribers . A neice we see every so often. Some of us are old enough to be your grandparent. The only way we can show our support is by liking your vlogs. You have our prayers and support though this. It's good that your saving your eggs. Even if you change your mind later, you now have that option. Medicine has gone so far in the last decade. Cancer used to be a death sentence.....it is slowly turning into another curable illness.
Hang in there Jess! We have your 6. Tests can be redone, classes done over....but you only get one life,live it to the fullest!
Little Piper is so adorable. Hope her trach gets better. Hope you take it easy and have a speedy recovery after your surgery. My brother is battling 2 cancers at the moment. He has colon cancer and leukemia. Cancer not only affects you, it impacts on family and friends too. My best wishes hugs
Piper is so adorable! Praying for healing for you both !
I cant believe everyones courage when facing adversity. You are amazing.
Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you and your family ❤️
Sending hugs! I am waiting for my cancer results to come back on the 10th…seeing your documentation allows me to mentally prep for the worst. Once again sending hugs! 💜💜
Jessica you amaze me with your positive attitude .You came from real good Gene's and a family full of love.❤
You have the cutest puppy -- she must be a lot of fun and cuddles. We have a 13 year old Chinese Crested Hairless Dog. I remember his puppy days -- lots and lots of running around, throwing squeeky toys and playing with his brother Max (Powderpuff Chinese Creste Dog i.e. with a beautifull double coat of hair). The boys were pretty busy and very loving -- we also had a rescue cat named Gem who kept all of us in line. We went to a local Pet Smart to check out the cats and she reached out of the cage and grabbed my husband's coat. We'd always had Siamese cats before but ... not this time -- we got an almost feral kitten who was very, very busy her first year with us. All of us knew Gem was the boss! We've been lucky to have pets in our 33 years together. They make us laugh and they give a lot of joy and love. I couldn't have children so we're aunties and uncles and have our own fur babies. I have been one of your mother's viewers for a few years -- when my husband first told me about how good her vlog was -- I was puzzled -- why would I want to watch sheep -- the answer of course is the sheep are only a small part of watching your mother's vlog. She is an amazing woman who cares about her family and flock and friends and more. Watching her has been wonderful -- she is interesting and I've learned a lot about lots of things. Your father is funny -- a hard working, talented man -- who occassionally shows up and lets us see his humour and love for your mother -- prize episodes -- when they went on vacation and he got on her board and sunk both of them -- and of course the cute wiggle in his new hunting suit. You are going thru a very difficult time, but have good support from your family, friends and vloggers. I love to see your pleasure in reading -- books are a large part of our lives. Welcome to the club. Back to your puppy --she is just adorable. Best of luck as you go thru a very difficult time. Sending you hugs and best wishes.
Sending your positive vibes Jess!
The door entrance just like your mom does for us! Loved it! With the pups going through! Thank you! ❤
Hey pretty lady! I am respecting your wishes about unsolicited advice. I have had 17 major surgeries between 2016-2019 in Toronto, many surgeons/doctors involved too. Just a friendly little tip, whenever you check in with an office, ask the receptionist to have each doctor/surgeon listed in your chart to have all chart notes, surgical/procedure notes sent to. That way it becomes automatic and you don't have to remember everything. Also, any time you get test results, procedures done etc, you can request a paper copy for yourself. I did that and kept it in a folder that I took with me to every appointment. That way if anything didn't get sent, you have your own copy with you that you can share with whomever you like. It also comes in handy if, God forbid, you ever had to go to emergency you have all important info with you. I used to be a nurse and I can attest that sometimes our charts aren't always complete or up to date in our provincial computer system, especially if we have to go to another hospital. Some hospitals also use different computer systems and having your own copy makes things go smoother and faster. Not telling you what to do by any means, just passing along a couple of tips that can be helpful, if you choose. No biggie. Keep kicking cancers butt! We all believe in you! Thanks and praise from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
Awww Puppy Piper kisses 😘… do what you need to do … we’re here to support that. I just love that you opened up this whole story…. Continue to pray. Momma Sandi is the best. ❤ we’re here for you.
Hi Jess from New Zealand. Prayers to you and your family from this little sheep farm. 🐕 is gorgeous and clever. 🇳🇿
Sending love and good wishes! ❤
Jesse, love you to infinity! Praying for you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like this vlog. Don’t worry too much about your channel, we understand why you’re busy lately. My favourite part is when you said “This has been the funnest week” because of the books. Your puppy is adorable & clearly missed you 🥰. I hope everything goes much better than you thought it would ❤
You are loved! ❤ You have a wonderful support team that will get you through this next chapter of life! Keep your eyes on Him, He will direct your path… 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Jess, do your professors know of your medical situation? Maybe they would pass you on their courses just for what you are going through. I continue to pray for you and your family during this journey. Give Piper a hug from me❤️
you have a good week book worm 📚. its nice to see excitement in your eyes !
Awe look at all the goodies you got...🤗 so cool.. Hang in there kiddo.. love your new fur baby...big 🤗 HUGS and 💛 love
Hi Jess, I am happy to see your spirits are up and you are smiling a lot. You have received some beautiful gifts and I can tell you are very grateful. I keep u in my prayers.
Jess, your intestinal fortitude (guts) through all you are going through is such an inspiration! Hang in there and just "Do You" and try to maintain your incredible positivity. We are all so proud of you. Keep reading. It's so fun to get lost in the written word, in someone else's fantasy. There's something so therapeutic about reading, turning the pages, absorbing the words, inhaling the scent of the ink and paper pulp. Let your books help you through the next step in your journey! We are all thinking and praying for you! You've got this, stay strong! XOX 💕🤍💕
Wonderful 💕 to see you blog!!
You look wonderful and so enjoyed your sharing of your gifts!
Blessings...
Hi Jess! Piper is just the cutest thing! New books always make me happy too! I just love to read! Have a great day!!
I have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer and start treatment Tuesday. I am so glad you are harvesting your eggs. Good luck
Sending you joy and light from Alberta. Thank you for sharing your path.
Please put you first, not us. Vloging is nice, but we all want you better. I'm so happy to see your positive attitude, taking things in stride, and coping well. Your mom is a rock of strength and the deepest pool of love you'll find, cherish the relationship. Hugs!!
So good to hear from you and the update. I hope the eggs retrieval procedure went well and was successful. (Both of my daughters had to go through fertility, as well).
I’m so glad this semester is over for you so that you can now concentrate on you and the next step in your life. Lil Piper is a great distraction for you. I’m loving the new hair style - it looks good on you! Take care and I look forward to more updates as you travel on this journey. Love, hugs, and prayers!💕🙏🏻🙃🍀
Jessica, I read my first book cover to cover when I was 30 years old. One summer I decided I was going to read a book and that was all there was to it. I read "Dances with wolves" It was so amazing and such an easy read. I haven't been able to stop reading since then. I had lots of catching up to do. Enjoy your new Hobby.
Sending prayers and love to you and your family!
Keeping you in my prayers after your most recent surgery last Friday. Piper is so adorable. She will be the best kind of distraction. Your love of reading will be great at keeping your mind occupied!
