Today's post is coming a little early. Molly had surgery again today and the news was good. We came home while she is resting and will return tonight to sit with her. Another major hurdle jumped. There will be more to come, but we just take them one at a time and hope for the best. This has been a good day so far.
To Rod Anderson, thank you for your post. We agree 100% with your assessment of the doctors, nurses, and support staff at Denver Health. Molly couldn't be in a better place right now. They are so professional, kind, gentle, and understanding. What more could you ask? They give even more than anyone could ask, and they do it with such grace and dignity.
To everyone out there following Molly's progress, all of your positive energy has filled us with so much love and strength. Please keep the good vibes flowing.
To Katy, we are so proud of you and love your dearly. Molly couldn't have a better sister. Keep youself strong, because it feels like she will really need you soon. We love you!
Now get out there and commit random acts of kindness!

Hello Molly,
You may not remember me, but I went to elementary school with you. It's me, Lindsey. We played soccer together, and you helped me in Gym in 5th grade when some huge kid fell on top of me, making my nose bleed. I am so sorry that you had such a tragic night. I hope that you recover with all the luck in the world, and maybe afterwards, we could reunite. :)
I send you a hug, and all my happiest thoughts.

Yeah God!!! And a great big WHEW too. I am so encouraged Molly, I am so incredibly in awe of your strength and perseverance. Hang in there we are all so proud of you. Katy told us of her encouraging visit with you today. I think Ainslie is a little jealous:).
Bob and Bernie you guys are amazing. It is no wonder you have such incredible daughters! Keep the faith, and remember, we are here lovin' on you from afar.
We love you tons and buckets,
The O'Neil family

...i love you.
(just so you know).
Molly,
I just wanted to let you know that I love you very very much. You are an amazing person surrounded by a ridiculous number of people who love you. Your parents are incredibly strong as well and I know you all will get through this!
Hi Bloom Family, I'm a teacher at East, certainly knew of Molly and even might have had her in class as a freshman... Words can't express the sorrow I feel for all of you.... I've been reading your blogs Bernadine, and all the comments, and I must remind you to lean on all the positive thoughts and prayers being sent your way righ now. Continue to express and write your own feelings, it will help you deal with the reality of Molly's changed life path....
25 years ago late June, my son was born a healthy baby, but a horrible change of events led to a tragic calamity of errors in which my son was left with major brain damage........ The road has been difficult, the attention to his needs and challenges ever present.... but the path has made me who I am today... and though I would have liked things to be different, still I think I've become a better person because of the struggles....
Bloom Family.... it's so difficult to understand why things happen the way they do... and it's so hard to pick up the pieces of our shattered lives and make something out of what's left.... but it IS possible, and even though your days now are so so difficult, please remember, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and if you keep strong, lean on people who want to and can help, and remember to take time for your own private selves.... then, in 25 years, you too will look back and smile at how far you've all come.... My prayers are with you all.... Take care....
Bloom family:
Yeah!!!! So glad to hear that Molly is doing better. You all contiue to be in our thoughts. Take care of yourselves too.

Hello Bob and Bernie, I am so happy that the news is good so far. At least as good as it can be. You guys have to make sure you get as much rest as you can and stay healthy. I read in one of the posts that Molly likes to crack jokes at the pool. Gee Bernie, that accorn didn't fall too far from the tree did it? It did remind me of something though... A priest, a Rabbi, two nuns, a lawyer, and a chimp walk into a bar. The bartender say's "what is this a joke?" Stay strong and be cool.
GO MOLLY GO!!!! WE ARE SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT MOLLY IS DOING BETTER! BOB AND BERNIE AND FAMILY YOU ARE SO EVER STRONG,MOLLY IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR LOVE AND PATIENCE. JUST THRILLED TO HEAR ABOUT THE SWIM-A-THON AT SKYLINE TO HELP MOLLY, COACH DAVE IS A GREAT GUY! GOD BLESS YOU!

I'm the mom of a freshman at East. We don't know Mollie, but our thoughts and hearts are with you. I donated blood yesterday in Mollies's honor and I was not the first!
Take care of yourselves.

Hey Molly! You go girl! The land of East Angels and so many, many, many others throughout the Denver area and the country are thinking of you and in awe of your strength and your family's as well. We love you, Molly. Some of us have never even met you or your family, but our Angels arms are wrapped around you and we hope you can feel them. You're in my thoughts, prayers and heart, Bloom family. God Bless.
Bernie, Bob & Katy,
So glad to hear that Molly is doing better and yesterday was a good day. I think of you all every hour of the day.
Molly..keep staying strong. Everyone is praying for your recovery.
Hi Blooms,
Thanks for the updates, and we are thrilled that Molly had a good day and re-vived your spirits.
As the summer begins I have fond memories of watching two girls from opposite summer teams become friends in the "heating area" and then be on Aquawolves together. It is only fitting that as I enter Lindsay's room, on her desk is a picture of the girls in Hawaii, with Molly's beautiful smile. On one of the "hard" days, Lindsay and I were in the car, and she said, Mom, "Molly is so strong, don't worry" I say a prayer for all of you everynight.

Wow to Mollie's mom - you are already showing signs of healing from this trauma that has invaded your life! As you go down this path you did not choose, others will come along side of you. Some will be there for a day, others for a week, others for the long haul, but each who comes along side of you has a purpose in being there. You may be part of their healing process - reaching out to others is part of that healing. I see you reaching out to Molly's friends wanting them to be okay, wanting to accomodate their efforts to help Molly. God will give you the strength to get through all this, and to do the things you need to do. Rest in His love, gather strength and just love on Molly. God bless...
Molly,
I have never met you, although I have met your parents once. My mom (Debbie) is your mother's cousin. So i think that makes us second cousins? I don't know that much about you, other than the bit of information that your parents shared with me, although I know you have the strength and will to get through this. You are surrounded by loving family and friends. We are praying for your recovery, and I am waiting for the day I can finally meet you!
We love you and have you in our thoughts.
Love, Kelly Norton
and the whole Norton family
In my own experience, the period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life. ...Through a difficult period, you can learn, you can develop inner strength, determination, and courage to face the problem. Who gives you this chance? Your enemy.
