You are BEAUTIFUL.... even in your robe with wet hair from your shower!! And the way your family takes care of you just melts my heart....... especially Joel. Happy healing!!
Shout out to Joel. He even took your drain out. Handiest husband ever. My husband passed away three years ago very suddenly and that is what I miss the most. Losing the person who loved me more than anyone and who would do anything for me and take care of me. Last week would have been our 39th anniversary. Joel is a good man, as are all of your sisters’ husband’s. That is certainly one of my biggest takeaways from all of your families vlogs - how you all deeply care about and love each other.
The way Joel takes such loving care of you brings me to tears. I’m so happy for you being able to do things for yourself. As moms we don’t make ourselves a priority for the love and well being of our families. I’m so thrilled for this new chapter for you guys. Sending love and prayers from California 💜❤️💛💚💙
Bonnie, that had to be the best shower. When I had my C-sections, they would not let me shower for a few days. I would get up and pass out, so I was considered a fall risk. But when I got to shower, it was AMAZING! I am sure you felt the same way. Girl, you look so shapely in the absolute best possible way. Just take your time in recovering. Do not overdue it. We want you back healthy and happy as ever. Take care. Joel you are an amazing caregiver. Bonnie you are so blessed. Love you guys.
Janet Gray yes when I had a pph they wouldn’t let me get up out of the hospital bed for days because of bleeding and that first shower was the best thing ever! ❤️ I can’t imagine two weeks!!
Bonnie I dont think you truly realize just how many peoples lives you have had an impact on! Seriously, you make me try harder each day to be a better person and mother and to love harder than you ever have! I just want to say thank you to YOU!!! I hope you feel better soon
Can we all just appreciate Joel's parents for a second? Look at the incredible, sweet, loving soul they have raised! I LOVE the way he loves Bonnie and he ALWAYS cares so deeply for her! When you come from a family where that isn't "normal" it's overwhelming to see. I'm so thankful she gets to experience that kind of love Also that sneak peek of your tiny little body!!! I can not wait to see the end result of this surgery!!!!
I can’t imagine how you’re going to get through CVX! Please don’t push yourself!! I’m so glad you are feeling all the love and you’re not getting negative feedback. You are amazing. ❤️
I agree too Bonnie please don't push your self we just all want you to get better! Love you so much!! You have no idea how you have helped me make changes in my life as I speak ! 🤗💕
Joel is such a great husband, Bonnie! You have such a great support team helping you along the way. Prayers that you continue to heal and get a lot of rest and relaxation!
I just want to say how grateful I am to be able to see your journey. You are such an inspiration and well I say it every time you can get me in all the feels with my emotions and I think it’s just because I relate to what you say or feel. I love the raw emotions because they are real. I think you’re amazing with the cutest family. You have truly made a humongous impact on me and for that I am eternally grateful. I love your family and all that you do. Thank you I mean seriously thank you for sharing your life.
Bonnie, I am so INCREDIBLY proud of you for sharing your story and bravery in this experience. I've considered plastic surgery with great weight loss and I've thought I wouldn't tell some family because although I feel good about the decision I know people will be judgemental. The fact that you shared with your supportive family and basically the WHOLE world is inspiring and encouraging, I love you Bonnie. I hope you heal quickly, God bless.
I LOVE BONNIE AND THE FAMILY! Let's get through recovery together! I'm getting my tonsils and adenoids out on Monday! And I am really nervous but you make it all better because u had a harder surgery!! I love u!!
So happy you are doing well and you got to shower. When I was 20 years old I had thyroid cancer and couldn’t put my head back to wash my hair. My hair dresser bless her heart to come and help wash my hair and it felt so good! It’s the little things we appreciate when we can’t do them anymore. 💖
I love the rawness that you bring to us. Oh Bonnie, Joel is such a darling husband. He sure takes care of you and that makes me so so happy. And those kids, wow they are so sweet to you! My heart is happy. Hope you start feeling better and better each and every day. Praying for you!!!!
The thumbs up button is nowhere near enough to express the admiration and support I have for you Bonnie. Wishing you all the love in your speedy recovery my dear xxx
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I have actually been considering having the same procedure since having my babies and have been apprehensive about sharing with many people. I truly truly appreciate you being so open and honest about it. You are being a huge encouragement. I am praying for your healing at this time and for your family as they support you and care for you!!
Oh Bonnie I can see the pain your in by the way your walking around and also in your voice. Your not your normal bubbly Bonnie, I hope you start feeling heaps better soon. Also may have cried a little bit when Joel was helping you get dressed. He is such a wonderful and caring husband.
Bon!!! You look fantabulous! Congratulations to you and stay proud and strong! You are so lucky to have a husband that is so incredibly strong for you! I love you guys so so much! You go girl!!!!
Bonnie I'm not a member of your Family,but I'm very,very proud of you.You look in pain and you still share with us what going on.Thank you.love you.Prayer for fast recovery.
I have been watching you for years, but have never commented. You are an amazingly strong woman. Thank you for sharing your story! I have had 3 kiddies in 3 years & also have an ab separation. I would 100% have the surgery if it came down to that. Love your sweet family. Love from Australia x
My goodness Bonnie I’m feeling a bit teary seeing you struggling with the pain. So glad your lovely Joely and the kids are taking such good care of you. Hope you are feeling better soon ❤️
Bonnie, I'm so glad you have shared your story. I know your situation was a little bit different but I didnt realize how painful this procedure can actually be. Hope you feel better soon.
I hate seeing you in so much pain, but I so appreciate your vulnerability. You are so precious and I am praying for your continued recovery. Take it easy and love on your family. You all are amazing. Love you Bon Bon! Prayers coming your way!
Good for you Bonnie. Self-love comes in so many different forms. If it's meaningful to you, that is the way to do it. Hope you continue to do better each day.
You and your family deserve nothing but praise and love! Have been watching for a long time. It makes my heart warm and fuzzy seeing how down to earth your family is. Thank you for sharing your life with us 💙
I hope you start to feel better soon Bonnie. I think it's amazing that you have shared your story with so many people. You are such an incredible and strong woman.
Love that you are sharing this. The way Joel is caring for you will teach your children so much about what marriage means. I only witnessed this in last weeks of my mother’s life as she was always in great health until she wasn’t but watching my father care for her was so beautiful and I am so sure this will resonate with your children as well.
Hey Bonnie- Mrs. Robinson from Lake of the Ozarks here! Just wanted you to know I started watching your channel during numerous doctors appt. and sleepless nights. I had reconstructive back surgery last year and you and your family got me through that surgery. My recovery and rehab has taken a year- I NEVER thought it would take that long. But the pay off is amazing! I’m back teaching pain free this year! So just give yourself time and love and remember that YOU have to come first. So do what the doctors say- take the Meds (don’t try to be a hero by not taking them) and allow yourself time to heal. I love you and your family and I know you will feel amazing when the healing is done! Take care- love you! It’s all going to be ok!
Proud of u Bonnie!! And so nice to see how supportive and sweet Joel is!! He is a keeper! Recovery is different for everyone, your doing everything ur suppose, just take ur time and heal! Love you all!!
Bonnie, I can't imagine how it would feel to be in your situation, I hope you heal and feel better soon. I also just want to add how much I love how real these videos are, that you show us how and what you do through this time, even with joel helping you bathe. I love you and proud of you
Very proud of you Bonnie. You are looking better each day. Thanks for your honesty in this journey. It is not easy to be so vulnerable but you got this. Hugs coming your way, very soft ones though.
Make sure take vitamin d3 magnesium, and b12. And have some steak. When I had surgery my doctor told me to eat steak. You sound weak. Make sure you eat to heal. You will heal faster if you get good sleep/rest and drink plenty of water. I hope you feel better. Bonnie I hope you know I'm giving you this advice because I really care about your family. And I know you may be feeling Vunerable right now. Just know that we just want you to be ok. I'm 50 and have been through some pretty major surgerys myself. I didn't have anyone to help me through any of my surgeries. I'm so glad you have help. Take care💜
You are doing great! Every day you will feel just a little bit better. I had the same surgery six years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. Just remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. Take it easy and you will be feeling like yourself again in a few weeks.
Your family is truly amazing. I rarely comment on any You-Tube videos but I felt I needed to on your Video. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family with the world. I hope you know how much love, inspiration. Courage and hope we all gain from you sharing your life with us. Prayers sent for your quick recovery.🙏❤️❤️
Oh Bonnie! I can see the pain you are still in. My heart is hurting for you right now. Please take it easy and let your body recover fully. I am so proud of you for doing what you need to take care of yourself. I am sending love and prayers for you and your family. Much love from Texas!!
Sweet Bonnie 💜 You are so loved. You make me proud to be a woman and a Mom and I look up to you so much! Keep it up sweet lady- you are doing great. I am praying for healing for your body!
Don't be afraid to set an alarm on your phone to take your meds...the most important thing is to stay ahead of the pain...it will help you recover faster...feel better sweet Bonnie ❤
I agree Jennifer! My surgeon always said don’t let the pain get ahead of you. I didn’t want to take pain meds, but found out I needed to stay ahead of the pain so my husband made sure my phone alarm was set, and he had all my meds ready for me. Like Bonnie, I am extremely lucky to have a husband that is so caring and helpful. ❤️
I'm so glad you're feeling so loved and supported. Don't think for a second that you don't deserve it. And now you can fill up on all this love so you can put it back out into the world.
You are so strong Bonnie! I can only imagine the pain and everything you are going through right now...but I love that you share this journey with us! To hear your story.. and now to see your recovery.. all the ups and downs.. you are such an inspiration to so many and just know that we will always support you 💝 hope you’re feeling better soon 🎀 much love
Just wanna give you a big hug! You're doing so well, love you Bonnie! Keep doing you, those of us who truly care will always be around! You are so brave and so strong, recovery from any surgery is rough ❤️
Oh Bonnie. Your breaking my heart. You are so worthy of every single bit of love and support! I've never known anyone that has a heart quite as big as yours. I've been with you guys for quite a while now, and you guys are family. Love u mama bear. Keep that pretty little chin up. 💞
You are really putting yourself out there showing the reality of your recovery. It’s good to see how real you are with the viewers. Wishing you the best. 💕
Bonnie, I love you too! You've been in my prayers for a good recovery. How lucky are you to have Joel to be there for you and able to be at home with you. I'm very lucky too, i have a "Joel" at home too that helped me through major surgery two years ago, so i know what that means to you. Stay strong, don't do anything you shouldn't be doing yet and before you know it you will be back to normal.
It never fails for me to cry during your videos, especially these last few. You are such a precious soul and I am so glad I stumbled across your TH-cam Channel 2 years ago!! You inspire me to be a better person. Get well soon Bonnie!!❤️
Your amazing person to be so open. So many times you’ve touched my heart just with your honesty and true self to help others in this world like me. I look forward to watching your videos and seeing your sweet family! 💗
Hi Bonnie, I am only 16 and I have been watching your channel for 2 years now. It’s crazy how much I love to watch you and your adorable family yet we have never met. Your videos always make me smile or just brighten up my day. I am honestly not surprised that you have been receiving so much love while your recovery because we all love you so much and care about you endlessly. I hope to meet you and the cute kids one day! I always think about that if I didn’t live in Florida but Utah how much fun it would be to babysit them! I love you so much and I really hope recovery goes well for you. All my love and support, Maleaha ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for all you are going through, how wonderful to have such a compassionate, helpful husband! Hope your recovery improves each and every day and the pain lessens. Lincoln has the face of an angel! Love your vlogs!
My heart goes out to you for what you are going through. Stay strong and soak in all of the love and support you are receiving, Bonnie. I cannot imagine the pain you are enduring, but I'm so happy that you have such a great support team at home. Love you!
You look amazing. I worked at a cosmetic surgery office so I’ve seen all sorts of recoveries. (You will feel so much better once your drains are out) You are standing up straight, walking around, even bending over to kiss your sweet baby! That’s amazing and so strong of you. You have so much strength. Physically and mentally. I so enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up. You encourage so many 💗
I've cryed at every video you have uploaded lately Bonnie, your doing amazing with your recovery Hoping for a fast recovery for you bon bon. I'll aways support you through whatever it is you need support with. Best wishes
I watch several vlogs and you are by far my favorite vlogger. I was so worried that something had happened when we were seeing the pre-recorded stuff for an extended period. In a few months all this pain will be a distant memory and I think how your little family has rallied around you will be the memory you cherish. I hope you are happy with the outcome of your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery. All the best from Canada!
Bonnie❤, it shows that your soul is so strong. although I'm sure it's not easy at all, you're trying to be brave. Im glad you're surrounded with love and support, you deserve it!❤
I know some of the pain you are going through. I have been there after a few surgery's you feel like you were in a terrible accident and your whole body hurts. But you have great support in your family and friends and that helps. As they say this to shall pass it just takes time and we are here for you .Bonnie you are loved get better.
Bonnie, this is so hard to watch knowing I can't do anything to hep! It definitely looks like you are going through a really tough time in your life but seeing Joel and your kids and your family around you being so supportive and helpful though these tough times is something so so special. You are blessed with gorgeous, healthy children and a wonderful husband in Joel. Sending lots and lots of love from the other side of the world in Australia! I know you will get through this. Keep pushing through it will all be worth it in the end.
Bonnie we love you so much! Don’t ever think that you can’t tell us something. I’m praying for you to get better. It must be so hard to get through this, but you are Bonnie, and u can do this. We love u so much!
I saw your last video and I see how it has made an impact on your life. You made the right decision. Although you still feel yucky during recovery, you seem sooo much happier. I’m happy for you. I always say do what you need to do to feel good and you did that. I am happy that you chose to fill us in on your journey because we’re friends! Friends update each other about the good, bad, and the ugly. I love how you feel comfortable enough to share this with us. Thanks for sharing your story! What’s your recovery timeline? How long until you’re fully recovered? Get well soon! You look great!

Bonnie you are so amazing!!!! You are so brave to be so open with all of us and I appreciate it so much. You are a warrior woman! Hope you are feeling better very soon!!
You are strong and good Bonnie. Seeing how your partnership works (4:00 - 6:00) is a wonderful reminder of the beauty of a good marriage. Thank you. It is a worthwhile value. 😊Big hugs
Dang girl you got me again at the end! You keep making me cry! I love you and your family very much! I'm so glad you are getting better, slow but steady. Thank you for sharing your true story with us. And Joel gets husband of the year award(probably not the first time). Praying for quicker healing for you now. Love Jess
bonnie i know how you feel that a shower feels so good after a period of time, we take so many things for granit, i had a heart transplant and i could not take shower about a month or so just a sponge bath. and yes it was glorious to have a shower. i had to wait till my scar was healed before i took one. but was totally light headed after the shower! love you bonnie and i pray for a fast recovery and pray for strenght!
My heart. 😭 Joel is such a good husband and dad. Bonnie I’ll be praying for you and for a good recovery. You’re so beautiful and you deserve the best. Many blessings. Love from North Carolina!!❤️❤️❤️
Feel better soon beautiful lady. I love that you let your kids see the truth. Because they are learning about love, compassion, faith and that is awesome!!!!

Bonnie, you are such a wonderful genuine women. Thank you for being so strong and courageous and sharing your story. Thank you Joel for being a super husband and taking care of Bonnie!
Bonnie, lipo is a rough recovery normally, I can’t imagine how bad you are feeling. It took me weeks to not have that “sharp burn pain.” The compression suit will be your best friend. You’re looking amazing and handling everything so well!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!! ❤️ you!!

Shout out to Joel. He even took your drain out. Handiest husband ever. My husband passed away three years ago very suddenly and that is what I miss the most. Losing the person who loved me more than anyone and who would do anything for me and take care of me. Last week would have been our 39th anniversary. Joel is a good man, as are all of your sisters’ husband’s. That is certainly one of my biggest takeaways from all of your families vlogs - how you all deeply care about and love each other.
Thank you for being so raw and open with us. This recovery seems very tough, it shows how strong you are. I hope you are feeling better soon!!
Joel is the sweetest man on earth.
IKR? If we all had husbands like Joel. Nobody would get a divorce. We would be as blessed as Bonnie is.
The way Joel takes such loving care of you brings me to tears. I’m so happy for you being able to do things for yourself. As moms we don’t make ourselves a priority for the love and well being of our families. I’m so thrilled for this new chapter for you guys. Sending love and prayers from California 💜❤️💛💚💙
I'm so proud of you... your raw emotion is so honest and I love u and ur family 💖💖 Husband of the year to Joel aswell!
This is so true!
Bonnie, it’s so sweet to see the love and support Joel gives you. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful man in your life.
Bonnie, that had to be the best shower. When I had my C-sections, they would not let me shower for a few days. I would get up and pass out, so I was considered a fall risk. But when I got to shower, it was AMAZING! I am sure you felt the same way.
Girl, you look so shapely in the absolute best possible way. Just take your time in recovering. Do not overdue it. We want you back healthy and happy as ever. Take care.

Janet Gray yes when I had a pph they wouldn’t let me get up out of the hospital bed for days because of bleeding and that first shower was the best thing ever! ❤️ I can’t imagine two weeks!!
Bonnie I dont think you truly realize just how many peoples lives you have had an impact on! Seriously, you make me try harder each day to be a better person and mother and to love harder than you ever have! I just want to say thank you to YOU!!! I hope you feel better soon
You are a CHAMP Bonnie! This recovery seems BRUTAL!!
Can we all just appreciate Joel's parents for a second? Look at the incredible, sweet, loving soul they have raised! I LOVE the way he loves Bonnie and he ALWAYS cares so deeply for her! When you come from a family where that isn't "normal" it's overwhelming to see. I'm so thankful she gets to experience that kind of love

Agreed and truth.. Bonnie be careful
I agree too Bonnie please don't push your self we just all want you to get better! Love you so much!! You have no idea how you have helped me make changes in my life as I speak ! 🤗💕

I hope you feel better soon! I am so proud of you and so proud of how well Joel is taking care of you and your family during this time!
Joel is such a great husband, Bonnie! You have such a great support team helping you along the way. Prayers that you continue to heal and get a lot of rest and relaxation!
Wow seeing Joel take care of you brought tears to my eyes. Wow! You guys have such an amazing relationship.
All the best Bonnie!
Bonnie! When you said Lincoln said you couldn’t give him a kiss, that broke my heart! You are the best momma ever!!! ❤️
Hang in their Bonnie, take it slow and don’t over do it. I’m so glad you have an awesome support system.
I have a question.. how was traveling back home after surgery ? Like pain, and also getting through security and stuff at the airport.
Joel is such an awesome husband and father! I’m glad he is there to help you recover. Feel better Bonnie!! 💕
Joel is such a good husband! That's a true man right there! I hope you heal well and soon! You are stronger than you think!

I LOVE BONNIE AND THE FAMILY! Let's get through recovery together! I'm getting my tonsils and adenoids out on Monday! And I am really nervous but you make it all better because u had a harder surgery!! I love u!!

what operation did she have?
Also a lot of protein to make the wounds heal faster!
If I'm remembering correctly, she doesn't really eat meat so this could be slowing things down slightly. Maybe another protein source?
Absorbed^
MILOW she got liposuction
Prayers for recovery! You share so much love with us, Bonnie, and we are so happy to be here for you! Love you and your cute family!!
You are doing great! Every day you will feel just a little bit better. I had the same surgery six years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. Just remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. Take it easy and you will be feeling like yourself again in a few weeks.

Oh Bonnie! I can see the pain you are still in. My heart is hurting for you right now. Please take it easy and let your body recover fully. I am so proud of you for doing what you need to take care of yourself. I am sending love and prayers for you and your family. Much love from Texas!!
Sweet Bonnie 💜 You are so loved. You make me proud to be a woman and a Mom and I look up to you so much! Keep it up sweet lady- you are doing great. I am praying for healing for your body!
Praying for your recovery. Hope you get feeling better and better from now on! Thanks for opening up with us❤️
Don't be afraid to set an alarm on your phone to take your meds...the most important thing is to stay ahead of the pain...it will help you recover faster...feel better sweet Bonnie ❤
I agree Jennifer! My surgeon always said don’t let the pain get ahead of you. I didn’t want to take pain meds, but found out I needed to stay ahead of the pain so my husband made sure my phone alarm was set, and he had all my meds ready for me. Like Bonnie, I am extremely lucky to have a husband that is so caring and helpful. ❤️
Thank you for having the courage share this experience. You are not alone. We love you and your family 💛💛💛💛
I'm so glad you're feeling so loved and supported. Don't think for a second that you don't deserve it. And now you can fill up on all this love so you can put it back out into the world.

To hear your story.. and now to see your recovery.. all the ups and downs.. you are such an inspiration to so many and just know that we will always support you 💝 hope you’re feeling better soon 🎀 much love
Just wanna give you a big hug! You're doing so well, love you Bonnie! Keep doing you, those of us who truly care will always be around! You are so brave and so strong, recovery from any surgery is rough ❤️
Oh Bonnie. Your breaking my heart. You are so worthy of every single bit of love and support! I've never known anyone that has a heart quite as big as yours. I've been with you guys for quite a while now, and you guys are family. Love u mama bear. Keep that pretty little chin up. 💞
You are really putting yourself out there showing the reality of your recovery. It’s good to see how real you are with the viewers. Wishing you the best. 💕
Bonnie, I love you too! You've been in my prayers for a good recovery. How lucky are you to have Joel to be there for you and able to be at home with you. I'm very lucky too, i have a "Joel" at home too that helped me through major surgery two years ago, so i know what that means to you. Stay strong, don't do anything you shouldn't be doing yet and before you know it you will be back to normal.
It never fails for me to cry during your videos, especially these last few. You are such a precious soul and I am so glad I stumbled across your TH-cam Channel 2 years ago!! You inspire me to be a better person. Get well soon Bonnie!!❤️
I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. Be kind to yourself and realize your body needs time to heal. You’ve got this! Hugs and prayers!
Your amazing person to be so open. So many times you’ve touched my heart just with your honesty and true self to help others in this world like me. I look forward to watching your videos and seeing your sweet family! 💗
Hi Bonnie, I am only 16 and I have been watching your channel for 2 years now. It’s crazy how much I love to watch you and your adorable family yet we have never met. Your videos always make me smile or just brighten up my day. I am honestly not surprised that you have been receiving so much love while your recovery because we all love you so much and care about you endlessly. I hope to meet you and the cute kids one day! I always think about that if I didn’t live in Florida but Utah how much fun it would be to babysit them! I love you so much and I really hope recovery goes well for you. All my love and support, Maleaha ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for all you are going through, how wonderful to have such a compassionate, helpful husband! Hope your recovery improves each and every day and the pain lessens. Lincoln has the face of an angel! Love your vlogs!
My heart goes out to you for what you are going through. Stay strong and soak in all of the love and support you are receiving, Bonnie. I cannot imagine the pain you are enduring, but I'm so happy that you have such a great support team at home. Love you!
You look amazing. I worked at a cosmetic surgery office so I’ve seen all sorts of recoveries. (You will feel so much better once your drains are out) You are standing up straight, walking around, even bending over to kiss your sweet baby! That’s amazing and so strong of you. You have so much strength. Physically and mentally. I so enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up. You encourage so many 💗
I've cryed at every video you have uploaded lately Bonnie, your doing amazing with your recovery Hoping for a fast recovery for you bon bon. I'll aways support you through whatever it is you need support with. Best wishes
Sending prayers that you’re recovery continues on a good path. Such a beautiful lady inside and out, you are an inspiration! 💕
I watch several vlogs and you are by far my favorite vlogger. I was so worried that something had happened when we were seeing the pre-recorded stuff for an extended period. In a few months all this pain will be a distant memory and I think how your little family has rallied around you will be the memory you cherish. I hope you are happy with the outcome of your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery. All the best from Canada!
Thank you for being open and honest about it and not hiding it as you had first planned! Honesty always provides the best content.
Bonnie❤, it shows that your soul is so strong. although I'm sure it's not easy at all, you're trying to be brave. Im glad you're surrounded with love and support, you deserve it!❤
I know some of the pain you are going through. I have been there after a few surgery's you feel like you were in a terrible accident and your whole body hurts. But you have great support in your family and friends and that helps. As they say this to shall pass it just takes time and we are here for you .Bonnie you are loved get better.
Bonnie, this is so hard to watch knowing I can't do anything to hep! It definitely looks like you are going through a really tough time in your life but seeing Joel and your kids and your family around you being so supportive and helpful though these tough times is something so so special. You are blessed with gorgeous, healthy children and a wonderful husband in Joel. Sending lots and lots of love from the other side of the world in Australia! I know you will get through this. Keep pushing through it will all be worth it in the end.
Bonnie we love you so much! Don’t ever think that you can’t tell us something. I’m praying for you to get better. It must be so hard to get through this, but you are Bonnie, and u can do this. We love u so much!
You are so strong and inspiring! I don't know that I would be brave enough to go through that recovery. You are amazing!
I saw your last video and I see how it has made an impact on your life. You made the right decision. Although you still feel yucky during recovery, you seem sooo much happier. I’m happy for you.
