    WOW , this was a very serious operation. I am so sorry that Gina had to go through that and I absolutely pray for her health and recovery. Yup I cried when we saw Gina towards the end of the video. Al you are absolutely a man that anybody would want to be there for them in a time of need. Both of you are awesome people.

    Hi.
    I'm a 69 year old man living in Thailand.
    I've been following you for years.
    This video had me in tears, I was so worried and anxious about Gina. I had to resist fast forwarding to the end.
    I'm so glad everything is going well.
    I'm waiting for the next video now.
    Love and your in our prayers.

    • @patricialynnmoore
      @patricialynnmoore 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes, this was so hard to watch. It made me feel so sad knowing Gina was going through all of these surgeries at once. It is very brave of Gina, it can be very complicated for the doctors and it is always heartbreaking to be a witness to what is happening knowing you can’t do very much to help.
      Blessings Family. God be with you. 🙏🏼🫶🏼💫

We are so glad it is over with now and I feel so sorry that you both have had to deal with all this, but you are well-loved and prayed for. Blessings to all of you and to sweet Olivia. Thank God for you Al and for Olivia. Both of you will bring joy to Gina's healing heart!

You did an excellent job editing and bringing out the concerns we have for Gina. You are going to get well, Gina, and have your full health restored! I believe it!

    Sending warm thoughts, hugs, and prayers to Gina, Al, and Olivia. Gina, hospital stays are no fun because the door is constantly being opened by staff to do different tasks, you never get to really sleep.... the staff are
    always pinning, proding, and checking on you, and the bed isn't comfortable. Then you have to deal with the hospital food....it's not home cooked food 😝.
    On a serious note, all your followers want to see you feeling your best, and healthy. Take it slow, don't rush, and before you know it you'll be back up on your feet.

    So happy our prayers were answered and Gina had a successful procedure.❤️
    Other than looking tired she looks amazing considering what she’s been through! Prayers that she gets to go home and recover in her happy place very soon. Godspeed 🙏❤️

    It’s been said elsewhere about doing videos right now, but I would like to say thank you for opening up during this time of vulnerability.
    Whether it was to keep yourself busy to stave off worry or a sense of ‘duty’ to us, it took courage to open your private life. For that I say thank you.
    There is a huge community out here that care, hope, and love you all. To us, it is still a family event and we want nothing but the best for you three. We understand and would stand in line to give you all hugs of caring.

Take time to rest and the first thing you know Gina will be home giving change orders at the new house. Just keep in mind God is able to bring us through these events and I know you have been a praying family. Looking forward to all of you back home on the range! Greg

Praising God for His protection for both her during surgery and you and Olivia while traveling back and forth. I know Gina will listen not only to the doctors but also her own body as she recovers but she has a whole lot of followers out here that will be encouraging her to take all the time to heal that is necessary!

    In March of 2020, my husband had a sudden ruptured bowel and had emergency surgery. He came out with a colostomy bag, but was able to have it reversed 6 months later. It was a real "learning experience"! Lots of patience required, not something that you ever think about needing. Prayers being lifted up for all of you

    My heart goes out to you having to wait that many hours. When my husband and I were in our early thirtys he had brain tumor and his surgery lasted 12 hours. The waiting was nerve racking but also you can't keep the fear at bay.
    So grateful this part is over and now onto recovery. Praying this is the final one.
