- As lambing appears to be in a bit of a reprieve... Chemo continues each day this week for poor Jess.
We were feeling pretty confident that our new pain maintenance strategy was working as her first few days were great!
But by Thursday morning, reality sank in as we could see that she indeed she was not great.
Meanwhile, back on the farm... work still needed done.
We scanned our ewes that will be lambing in the fall... and for once, our results were awesome!
I'm stuck with a few orphan lambs that WILL NOT DRINK from the nanny...
The nanny is acting up again...
And our golden girls needed some assistance cleaning up their pasture.

I'm about a week ahead of Jess in my treatment. It sucks so bad for everybody. My mom is suffering just like Sandi. I'm 68 and Mom is 88. You never stop being a mother.
🙏🙏🙏
Love to you!!!
Hugs to you and your mom!
My prayers for you!
🙏💗🕊
She WILL get through this. We’re all behind your family! 💫💫💕💕🙏
I agree ❤
AMEN ❤❤
I agree
Being a caregiver is tough, as you would rather you were the patient and not just watching the patient suffer. Especially when you love so deeply. The only way to get thru it all is to trust God and know his plan is best and he has your daughter in his hands! Praying for your whole family🙏🙏
Sending prayers for all of you! ❤
The nurse in me just wants to get on a plane, show up at your door, and take care of Jess. 1) you probably wouldn’t appreciate a random unsolicited stranger showing up at your door to take care of your kid. And 2) You and Mark are doing such a great job. You got this. Jess has got this. Take each day as it comes. And know that so many of us are looking for an excuse to help; You have our support, our thoughts, our prayers, and our well wishes.
Yes this! I wish I could jump in the car and head there to help anyway possible. I would take the barn shifts free of charge, I mean who wouldn’t want to spend their time in there with the sheep and lambs anyway lol, clean house, cook meals, sit with Jess so mom and dad could take a breather etc.
@@michelleolive4466 I would totally do barn chores too. I miss the farm. As a teen I spent a lot of time working on my aunt and uncle’s sheep farm. It got me through some hard times. Now, whenever I’m overwhelmed, feeling unanchored, or lost in a sea of fluorescent lights and night shifts, I go back to a friend’s farm. It’s grounding. The connection to the cycles of the earth, the routine of chores, the freshness maintained by a short supply chain, and the whole farming community of (both figuratively and literally) down to earth people. Damn it, now I need some farm time.
I know the feeling and I would drive there from Washington and do lamb chores and lambing ..I worked on a sheep and goat ranch during lambing and kidding...
Jess is your schedule right now and that’s how it should be! Oh mama! I am sending the biggest hugs to all of you!
Amen!! Sending prayers for all!
Keep your head up Sandi. Jess is so strong and she will pull through this and come out so much stronger on the other end. I have the faith she can do it and you will power through as well, that's what you do. We are all standing strong behind you and her with support.
We sure are! Just think about all the people, all over this planet, who stand by Sandi, Mark, Jess and Jack! That's a lot of folks.... Blessings from Alabama ❤️
My whole family loves your videos and is pulling for Jess' speedy permanent recovery. Sending all our love from Germany.
My love to you all ❤ nothing I can say will make it easier but just know that you have hundreds of thousands pairs of hands all reaching up to support you. You aren’t alone, you aren’t stupid, you aren’t anything but truly wonderful ❤
Amen
I second that opinion! All I can do is pray. Prayer bridges all gaps in time and place. I might live thousands of miles away, but I can offer support to Sandi, her family, and anyone else in the world. Blessings from Alabama ❤️
She may be bald but she’s still very beautiful.AND SHE WILL GET THROUGH THIS !!!❤
In Sandi darkest hour everyone of her 1 million subscriber's should send a pray for Jess and light at the end of this dark tunnel 🙏
Jess is a fighter, and so are you! She must have learned it from the best. You have brought such forgiveness (especially for yourself) and kindness to the farming community that we desperately needed. This farming girl in the US thanks you!
How sweet- and true- that is! Sandi is a leader and a great support to all around her. I would love to live in a well-knit community such as hers. Everyone should help everyone in need around them. Why are there so many people with only greed, self-importance, and impatience these days? Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Jess is helping so many people with her incredibly brave story, she is not holding back on any of the hard stuff, but continues to show people they can come through it. God Bless you Jess!👍🏻😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Well said
That she Is , Shes A Trooper❤😇💯❗
Thank you and Jess for being willing to share. So many of us have to travel this path, but don’t really know what lies ahead. My sister had leukemia 10 years ago and was in and out of the hospital for most of that first year. The chemo put her into ICU, she was allergic to the blood transfusions, she reacted strangely to some of the medications…..it was the worst year of our lives! To watch her suffer was agony. Some days I wondered if we were just torturing her. I am happy to report that we all survived it - our brother was a perfect match for her and she had a bone marrow transplant and is now cured of leukemia!!! I completely understand the emotional rollercoaster you described in this video…. I can still feel the echos of that experience in my own heart. Just keep breathing, take one step at a time. So many of us are rooting for you and your sweet Jess. And doesn’t she look so beautiful without her hair?!?! My sister’s hair grew back very thick and very curly!! Can’t wait to see Jess’s post chemo hair!❤❤
Mine went into my lymph nodes from my thyroid. I take my life day by day. My Mom was an almost 22 year survivor of stage 4 ovarian cancer. No sign of it at the 10 year mark. A friend of mine had breast cancer which went into her bones and for 30 years she went once a month for chemo. She hasn’t had to go for the last 3 years!
It's weird how often that happens. My hair started to grow in super think and curtly too. It drove me nuts at first just because it was *different*. I was OCD picking at the odd wirey hairs. During a stressful time in my life I ended up with a bald spot because it became a nervous tic. Now it just looks like a funny cow-lick of brown strands that stick straight up.
@@chesneymigl4538I was plagued at birth with two. It will grow out. U can train it .
This popped up on my you tube.
I'm praying 🙏 and sending positive energy as I type. Blessings and love to all of you.
You BOTH will Get through this. It’s almost harder as the mom to watch your child go through so much knowing all you can do it watch and support her. We as moms want to take all the pain away but we can’t. Hugs as a cancer survivor I can say “You got this mamma!” Just be there
Nothing hurts worse than seeing your kids sick. All prayers to you and your family.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers!!
I’m reliving 2017 when my son went through chemo for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. You can’t plan, can’t gauge how any day will be until you’re in the midst of it. Just be there. Love on her. Supply whatever food or liquid she can tolerate. Praying you through this storm. 💜
I had Hodkin's Lymphoma in 2008 when i was 13, i recognise this a lot.
Sandi, you are allowed to be emotional. My son fought cancer and had good days and bad days during treatment. I think I cried the hardest when he lost his hair. But he got through and Jess will too. My son had extremely aggressive testicular cancer. And you know what? We have 2 beautiful, handsome , healthy grandsons. Post chemo. I say an extra prayer for Jess and the family.
We all love you Sandi. We are all rooting for Jess.
Sandi you have such a huge heart, I think the song 'Angels don't always have wings' fits you to a tee.
Positive and healing thoughts and prayers to you and the family. Thank you for sharing as you have, even during these difficult times. ❤
I’m one of the many millions who have gone through chemo and radiation treatments. My prayers for her and for much needed comfort. Prayers for her healing. Put it in Gods hands my friend. The best hands ever !
A few words I've lived by for many years: What does not last forever can be endured. These words got me thru childbirth(3 times) and my own battle with CHEMO.
As a mom, a cancer survivor and a daughter to parents with cancer … stay strong, even on those darkest days … give yourself some grace everyday, and take each day as it comes and count each day as a blessing. You’re stronger than you think, evidenced by you showing up every minute of everyday for your baby! Y’all (all four of you) are an inspiration to the rest of us …
Well said!
Grace is awesome!
So many people with cancer, so many walking this road... I've walked it in my family too. May God be with those in this fight and give us all wisdom and peace.
I could of not said this any better, they are such a inspiration to me, and such a strong family.
Sandi, my Dad had very similar reactions to Chemo, as Jess. He became “allergic”, and had to take medication the entire time he had chemo treatments. His treatments were for 6 months, and it was the l-o-n-g-e-s-t 6 months ever. I balanced my time between his house and my house during that time. Dad has been cancer free since April. He is gaining strength every day, and able to do more. He’s putting on weight, and his hair is steadily growing back.
You guys are going to make it through this! One day, you and Mark are going to look back at this time and wonder how in the world you made it through this. My Momma heart aches for you. We never want to see our kids hurt or sick, no matter what age they are. Please try to make some time for yourself when you can. I know it’s difficult, but you have to be able to “recharge your batteries” so you can be there for Jess, during this difficult time. We’re praying for your family, and I’m sending you great big ((((hugs)))) from one Momma to another. ❤
Jessy looks beautiful. We are sending the most positive thoughts and prayers.
Jess, most people can't rock bald. But you can.❤ In our thoughts and prayers.
The one baby with the zoomies. My heart ❤
Edit: We’re all praying for your baby. As a mother, that would so incredibly hard to watch your baby go through. We’re with you. Hugs💕
You can't plan for how she feels, you can only be there when she needs you. Jess is tough ! We are all with your family during this ! Talking is good for you ! 💐
Have faith in God he will take care of those pains Jess is going through ✝️🙏🏽 Prayers will always be for jess 🫠🫶🏻🥺
God loves you and is protecting y’all !!! Jess is a fighter!!! She is strong, and she is LOVED BY EVERYONE!!
Just a note, we’re not bald😊we’re fuzzy🥰Praying the best for us, our families and loved ones. I agree, it’s a difficult process to go through especially when we have people that love us so much it hurts them to watch to bad days and rejoice in the good ones. To see Jess up and walking is a miracle in itself! Continuing to pray for all! We will survive and overcome❤
Bless Jess with total healing.
From Mary in Dublin ,Ireland.
One day at a time.
I will light holy candles for you all.
Xxxxx❤
Jess’ body is fighting. Even on her good days.
But she probably feels “normal “ and she overdoes it.
That’s all part of being sick. Do 1 thing and pay for it for 2 days.
And it’s OK to take those few days to recover.
You’re both fighting. But you’re both not fighting alone.
We have your back.
TRUTH! ❤
We all love you Sandi. We are all rooting for Jess. We’re all behind your family, My prayers for you!
💕💕sending you all prayers and many hugs!! 💕
As a momma you feel everything your kids are feeling.....your family is amazing and sooooo strong!!
**As always hugs here*** and f#$k cancer!!!
Sandi, I'm glad you have a place to go and vent. Your UT family is here for you. One day at a time is all you can do. Sometimes hour by hour. Please tell Jess she is beautiful inside and out. Hair or no hair. As always keeping you and yours in my prayers. I am truly inspired by you and your family. You have enriched the lives of so many. Showing the truth about farming. You and Mark do an amazing job caring for your animals and the land. Thank you.
Sandy, as a mom I know how it feels to have a child that is seriously ill. My heart goes out to you. You are a strong woman. We as your friends on this platform support and hold you dear to our hearts. Jess is an amazing young woman, she will get through this. We are all praying for your family. One day at a time, celebrate your good days, remember God isn’t finished with Jess. There are many things she still has to do. We love you all!
My treatment was four years ago now at the age of 61 and I feel so much better these days. Jess you got this. I wish my mother would have been alive to help me thru it but I had a cousin who took me every day to treatment, she was my angel.
Home made pie from Grandma is full of love and healing powers.
This too will pass. With each new day Jess is getting closer to the end of it. Stay positive, stay strong. ❤
My best friend just went through a year of treatment. Her husband did an amazing job of caring for her and now we are realizing what a tole it has taken on him. He looks so tired. We focus so much on the one in treatment we sometimes overlook the ones trying to do the caring. Blessings and rest to you all. We love you. ❤
Thank you so much for keeping up to date on Jess’ journey. I frequently think and pray for her and your family. You are a remarkable woman.
We love you all so much!! Prayers from across the miles (Wisconsin) 🙏
I have never understood even as a chemo nurse why when there is no sign of cancer they still feel they have to almost kill people with chemo for “just in case”! I pray healing over her! I pray peace and hope over the whole family! I believe and claim protection over her and know she will get thru this! I have witnessed it! 🤗❤️🙏
I don't understand that either. If they're cancer free, then why give them the chemo that makes them so sick.
Maybe I can help you understand ( if this comes off as rude, please know it’s not intended to ). Jess has had repeated tumors, all have been benign until the last 1 . So, to prevent more tumors and to off shoot them being malignant, her doctors felt that chemo was necessary to ward off more malignant tumors. Chemo is hard and cancer is a b**ch. Remember, we don’t have access to her labs and other test. And at times in my career I have often wondered the same thing. But I have also seen miraculous outcomes. This is the hardest part, what Jess is going through now, but we have to pray and believe ( and I truly believe ) that the outcome will be good. Positive attitude and a strong support system is EVERYTHING ! And as Sandi’s ‘ online flock ‘ we must be exactly that…strong and positive. 💗🤗🐑💗
@Ladywolf-pw9li thank you for explaining that. You're right. We are all Sandi's flock and truly believe Jess will beat this. Always pulling and rooting her on. We are a big cheerleading squad.
They also said the cyst Popped as they removed it. They are I believe doing chemo in part to make sure they got all the spillage covered. Vlog 693..transcript
I went through this with my grandson i was a mess but hes now 21 cancer free stay strong sweetie jess is a strong young woman joey was only ten mo old he won so will jess
What an amazing testimony for your grandson! Similar story with my family, too. As a matter of fact, June 27th is when my dad passed away from cancer. We buried him on the 30th, which would have been his 65th birthday and 43rd wedding anniversary. However, he chose to opt out of chemo and chose quality of life instead. Blessings from Alabama ❤️
@@susanturcotte3176I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Im so sorry susan both my parents passed but it was 20 years ago before new meds cancer dont care who you are or what age much love sent
Nothing I'm gonna say changes how hard it is for you and Jess and Mark and everyone who cares for her. But I'm rooting for your family, for your sheep and the farm. Your lives have touched my heart and I'm wishing you all well ❤
Day by day and sometimes minute by minute...don't be defeated by setbacks. You are all held in the most secure, loving bear hug of all time. Jess and her family WILL adapt and overcome. Our many prayers and silent words of compassion and love ❤❤
Our poor Jess!!!!!! Stay strong kiddo
You are so right Jess is ours too, all our love and good thoughts go out to her
Sandy, May I depart from all the well intentioned viewers whose comments talk about this too will pass. I want to acknowledge your here and now pain. It’s true this will be over at some point, but you and Jess and the family are fully in it, at this moment. It must be the hardest moments for everyone. It’s okay to feel what you feel. Staying strong isn’t always helpful. Falling apart at times is normal and to be expected. Sending positive energy to everyone.
What cancer does Jess has keep up your strength to help you fight for your life keep up with what you are doing
Jess is rocking the bald look! She is a beautiful, strong woman.
Us moms always wish we can take the pain and sickness from our kids. Its always hard to see them suffer. Your family is in our prayers.
This really brings it home to me why ppl call them selves ‘cancer survivors’ - it’s a marathon, not a sprint
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other
Many prayers 🙏❤️🙏
Every day with cancer is different. And that sucks. Keep the faith baby.
Hang in there Mama. You have many many people praying for Jess. ❤️🙏🏻
Yes. Jess is rocking her new look
Sandi you are such a strong amazing woman, obviously a very caring and compassionate person and Jess' strength when she has none. You've helped so many of us through so much without even knowing it. EVERYONE needs someone or a place to just let it out.
Thank you for allowing us to be the place that you can just let it out. Don't ever feel bad for getting upset or venting or feel like you're not doing enough because you are doing way more than anyone would ever expect from you. All 1 million + of us are here for you. Not just for the sheep or the babies or the dogs... we're all here for YOU Sandi. Sending love
1000% agree!
We love the family, the sheep, the dogs, the farm, all of it BUT we are here because of Sandi! An incredibly special strong amazing woman with an equally special strong amazing daughter.
Sending prayers to you all and everyone involved with helping Jess overcome what she is facing at this time in her life, Keep The Faith, God has no limits!
Tell Jess she looks wonderful as a blonde!💕💕💕 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Prayers to the Whole Family as the whole family goes through the horrible Cancer event!
Jess you are a soldier and a champion! You too mom!
We are all still here praying for Jess. Also for you both, I believe it’s as hard on the parents as the child. She is strong, she will pull through this. ❤
As the mom of 3 grown daughters and 4 granddaughters, my heart hurts for Jess and you all. We've had our share of health heartbreaks with our granddaughters...nothing takes the pain and fear away except knowing God hears our prayers, and all those praying for us...I hope you feel ours prayers for your family...
Amen to that!
Amen 🙏
Sandi much 💓 I think of you guys daily. I know that struggle with chemo. Jess is going to come through this. I pray that you àll find strength and comfort.hugs and peace.❤❤❤🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
I feel for you so much, Sandi. I can't even imagine the worry and pain you're facing as you watch her navigate this. Hugs to you. She will get through this.
From one Mom to another there is no pain worse imo than seeing our children go thru a traumatic experience. Have faith in her strength, in your strength and believe it will be over soon. God bless you, Jess and your whole family.
I just finished chemo for breast cancer! It was really difficult especially in the beginning because there is just so much left! Hang in there, you guys will get through it!!! My mom helped me through my chemo! I couldn't have done it without her! I am sure Jess feels the same way about you!!!
Its hard watching our children go through such pain . My daughter just finished chemo and is doing well now . I cried everyday many times knowing how bad she felt and didn't want it to show . You will see your daughter as a hero for her bravery. Im praying for your family.
Sandi just a word Mother will always want to do something anything to help our babies. One thing..you are THERE and THAT is what means EVERYTHING! ❤
Sandy, you raised a very strong, bright and beautiful lady. She is just like her mom. This is the toughest part that Jess is going through right now. You are the best support group for her, y’all know her better than anyone. We are all praying for your whole family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you 24/7. I hope you feel the love through the comments. Keep your chin up, we are all lifting you up in spirit. Thanks for keeping us updated on her progress. Love you all!
💯
My prayers goes out to you and your family. I pray for full recovery 🙏🏾.
I remember chemo ,,🤢 and I cry for precious Jess and her mom. I’m still here and Jess WILL live too❣️🎉👊🏼
She WILL get through this and so will you! ❤ sending so much love I'm so sorry I cannot imagine being a mother in your shoes you are all so very very very strong. So many prayers for your family tonight 🙏
Jess has a great head shape so rocks the bald look. Nice with earrings too! So sad she suffers, Wishing her a cancer free future and no more suffering. Sandi, you are such an inspiration! Being real and sharing the good, the bad, and the in betweens. Those lambs are so healing in their innocence and joy! Hang in there Brock’s. You are so very loved!🦌💌❤️🐑🙏
Sending love and healing prayer to you all!
Sending you all positive and healing vibes! From one mum to another don’t forget to look after yourself to! Big hugs!!
Just letting you know I’m here....and listening. 💗
Love you guys. Jess will make it. Stay positive. Have faith. Your community is behind you 100 percent. We love you guys. Never forget it.
The lesser of two evils … it’s absolutely crap what you are having to all go through especially Jess… she has your spirit. You made her strong just for things like this .. ❤❤❤❤
Give our favorite pretty girl, lots of hugs and kisses ❤.Jerry from Anaheim, California
Lots of hugs and kisses to you too mom ❤
Sandy.Praying for Jess. You are both strong
Wish I was there to give you all hugs right now! Sending prayers and love for everyone.
I hope that we can be a safe space for you to be able to let these feelings out. Give that baby girl a hug for us all. And let us know if there is ANYTHING we can help all of you with
I am praying August 15th gets here fast as I hurt for you, Jess and all of those who love her. ❤
So so hard when you are a mum and you can’t help ease your kids pain and discomfort. If I could I would give you a big hug. Praying for all of you.
My prayers go to Jess and to all of you. Sandy you are a great mom and a hard worker. ❤❤
We have all adopted sweet Jess and pray that we can take her cancer treatment for her
I'm praying for Jess and your family
I feel the same way, Mary. If I could substitute myself, I would gladly do it. I wish some things in the world could change to make it possible Blessings from Alabama ❤️
As a mom with a sick kid I feel like hope is a double edged sword but for our children we’ll take the pain and smile for them to smile.. it’s the hardest thing we’ll ever do but it’s worth it for them. I can’t wait for the days this is over for your family and you can all breath easier. From my family to yours we’ll be sending you our love and strength ❤
Sandi: You're doing great! Work when you can, rest when you can, do what you can and don't worry about the rest. You're still having some good days, so enjoy them when they come!
She really IS rocking the bald thing. It really brings attention to her beautiful soulfull eyes.
Sandy, it is hard to come up with words strong enough to offer enough support for you and your family!! Please know that yoU are in my thoughts and prayers daily!! Jess is such a strong young women, and she rocks the whole bald look!! Stay strong and keep praying!! We love you and are thinking of you daily!!
Praying for this all to pass quickly. Jesse is so strong And just like her mama. Love and support coming from Oregon.
Know that we are all sending good vibes in the form of thoughts and prayers. Give Jess a bid hug and let her know we are here for her too. Unfortunately Chemo is great and also bad at the same time. Hope she is able to start feeling better soon. You all take care!
Sending hugs to you. Being someone’s rock is overwhelming! Lean on US! We are here for YOU.
Heart broken, knowing what journey you’re all experiencing. Please know, prayer warriors have her/you wrapped in faith.
Glad you allow yourself to vent. Part of keeping yourself strong. 🙏🏼💗
Jess has such a great circle of people supporting her. Sandi, I hope you are leaning just as hard on your support circle. Being a caregiver to someone you love is its own form of exhausting, stressful and heart-wrenching.
May God keep Jess and you all wrapped in his arms of strength and comfort!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Keeping her in my prayers 🙏 ❤️
Dehydration makes anyone feel terrible. Glad the doc pushed fluids to help Jess out. At this point, getting all the meds into her is very important. Bless you all. 😢❤
I’m so sorry Jess is having just a hard time. I’ve gone through almost two years of chemo and it’s hell! But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Much love to you and your family❤
Edit: I don’t presume to know how you feel about medical marijuana, but northern lights was a god send for me
Thoughts and prayers are going out to you and your family! She will battle this she is warrior 💪 ❤️
Prayers going up for Jess and the rest of your family. Cancer is scary and sometimes the treatment is scarier. May God bring Jesss through it healthier than ever! And may He comfort you all through the process. Quite minds and peaceful hearts. Thank you for giving your sheep their best lives! I LOVE baby lambs!! Love and best wishes from Oklahoma!
Praying for you all!❤️🙏
