Thank you all for your kindness, your support and above all your love for Molly.
Molly's condition remained stable throughout the night on Sunday. She appears to be improving. As of 11 AM Monday she went back in for routine surgery.
Visitors are welcome, but numbers and time are limited because of her condition. Please don't call the hospital--they can not give you any information by law.
God bless you all. We'll update this as often as possible.

Molly,
I met you when you were a freshman. My friend Michaela introduced you at a gw/east swim meet. Your swimming abilities alone showed me that you were a determined person. I know you are strong, and you will use your strength to get through this. My thoughts are with you. I wish you all the best in your recovery. It is unfair that such an amazing woman must go through this. I just want you to know that you are capable of coming out of this stronger than ever.
Good luck in your recovery,
Justine Shepherd

Mr. husband lost his leg almost two years ago and we were totally inexperienced in all the stages of his rehabilitation. I wish that we knew what we know now when he had his accident. If you would like some imput on the best people to help you that we have found, please, please give us a call and we will give you all the information we have.

My family and I wish you a speedy recovery and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.. I firmly believe we are not handed anything in life which we are not able to overcome.. you will get better..=]

Darling Molly Bloom, The Obrand family sends their love and we are all pulling for you. We looked at some old pictures of you and Zach in Telluride in the old days. You were such a precious and funny little girl. You have blossomed into a beautiful, atheletic young woman. Keep your strong spirit. All our love to Zach, Maime and Bill. Your old friends,Cindy, Mickey, Jesse and Edgar
Molly,
This message is from and old, old Angel who now lives in Southern California(class of '64) but as one already said, once an Angel always an Angel.
Your story was recieved by me this morning, via email,from the Ancient Angel's Website.
Words are hard to find to express how sorry I was to hear about your accident.
Many years ago my daughter, a college swimmer, was paralyzed from the neck down in a freak accident on campus. It was the worst of times for all of us who loved her but what got us through was her strength, not ours. It took her an extra year but she graduated from college and has gone on to live a productive and more importantly, happy life.
I believe that God only allows this kind of challenge to be placed before those he knows are strong and brave enough to surpass it.
Be strong and brave, Molly and you will come out the other side of this an even greater person than you ever imagined you could be. I promise.
To your family I send my love and prayers for the daily strength you that need to keep moving forward.
In the years to come, I believe that your daughter will continue to amaze and dazzle you with her accomplishment.
God Bless!!
Bob,Bernie, and Molly, you are in our prayers.Anything we can do please let us know. Joe and Susan.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Godspeed with a quick recovery.
Hi Molly,
I have just read your story.I would just like you and your family to know that you will be getting prayers said for you all the way from Norwich,United Kingdom.Please keep strong darling.

Dear Molly,
I pray, claiming John 14:13-14 where Jesus said if we ask anything in His Name, He would do it, that you regain your health and strength in the fullness of time. I pray that this experience will be used to bolster you and that more good will come out of it than you ever dreamed. I pray for your family and friends that they will find comfort and support when they need it. God bless.

GOOD GOLLY MS MOLLY, I'm sorry that your and your family had to endure so much pain, but the good news is you've managed to touch lives all over the world.

Molly, when you read this later you must remember this about your graduation day: You did it. You graduated. You worked hard and those things you learned and your tenacity in learning them will prepare you for your future. You accomplished sports and academic feats many others will never experience. No one can ever take that away from you. You met and created great friends. You earned the respect of coaches, teachers, rivals and peers. You made your parents and family proud. You have now also earned the admiration and and good wishes of a local, national and global community. You may not have been in your cap and gown as you would have wished, but you surely have earned the right to move forward, with pride, into a future that still holds infinite possibilities for such a capable young woman.
Dear Molly,
I remember meeting you so vividly when your parents and Rich and Jake Elliot invited us to join you in late February at the resturant on Gaylord St. I remember sitting across from you and being surprised at how mature you were. Like thinking, "Whoa, she's only 17 and thinking in those terms." You seemed open, yet self confident, full of opinions, but not oblivious or oppositional to opinions of people over 30!. I know at times I do unhealthy things like compare my children to others; but I can't help but tell you, I thought, this girl is sooooooooo far ahead of my adolecents who are the basically the same age. "She is open, confident, has integrity and humility," I thought. What a gift. So remember that no matter what path you take, you are very special and you impressed me totally and genuinely! Cappi Morgan-Black
Many people in grand junction have been following your story and wishing you the speediest recovery. Also,congradulations on graduating. Please ignore hurtfull people and get on with your dreams.
Molly,
I go to east and when i heard about your accident. nobody would expect this to happen, but you are obviously such a strong person and i can tell that you will recover from this accident and become a better person ( and from what i gather you are pretty amazing) the whole Angel commnuity has come together to wish you positive energy and hope for your full recovery.
just remember that life is full of obstacles, but those obstacles, when we get past them are what make us stronger.
keep fighting!
and dont forget that negative energy never gets us anywhere its making the most out of any situation that helps us keep going
Best wishes to you Molly
Dear Bernadine,
Tell Molly that you know that she
has a strong will to live and get
better,and that if she turns to God
he will be there to help her improve.
Tell her that it's going to take some
time to get better.She is going to need patience to get through it,and
that you know she has the strength
inside of her to overcome this.The
future is brighter than the way things
seem to be right now.
Kaathy Nagel(Pat's Mom)
My heart goes out to all of you. My son may not cross the graduation stage next month, due an accident he was in 4 weeks ago with his ATV. He is now at Craig and paralyzed from mid chest down. He was #1 golfer and loves basketball. Just remember that there are so many people out there to support you.
Karen Nestorick
Dear Molly and Family,
My heart goes out to all of you at this difficult time. I know the shock you all are feeling (physical/emotional/psychological) because when I was 17 I lost my leg above the knee to bone cancer. I was very athletic so losing my leg was hard for everyone to face. But rather than dwelling on the amputation, I focused on recovering. Life goes on even with one leg, and every day on this earth I consider a gift.
I am happy to say that I have lived an active and full Life these past 28 years! I have been happily married 18 years to a wonderful able-bodied man, and we have two incredible children. Both kids I carried to term and had natural births. Let's face it, after an amputation, pain is relative!
Six months (1978) after I lost my leg I learned to ski in the Winter Park Program. Now The Naional Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD). It's a fantastic program and I highly recommend you check it out. By 1982, I was a full time instructor in the program, and in 1983 I was named to the United States Disabled Ski Team. I raced for the USDST through 1988 and won numerous international and national medals. I even raced in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary where I won a bronze medal!
In 1985-86 I played "Pepper," a scuba diver and firstmate on the MIMI in the PBS TV Series, "The Second Voyage of the MIMI." My co- star was Ben Affleck (13 at the time)!
In 1991, I trekked for 23 days on one leg and crutches throughout the Mt. Everest Region, and then traveled another 3 months throughout Nepal, Thailand, and New Zealand.
So you see Molly, your Life is what you make of it. The important thing to remember is that you are still you even though you only have one leg.You will discover an inner strength you probably never realized you had. And though it sounds like a cliche, your true beauty lies within. Keep a positive body image and make people see beyond your disability.
Think of it as the starting of a new chapter in your life. One full of challenges, but also exciting, fun and fulfilling. Your Life will be whatever you make of it.
During this difficult time, open up to your family and friends. They need you just as much as you need them. They will be looking to you for guidance. Let them help you, especially in the beginning. But, don't let them do the few things you can do for yourself at the moment. It will only frustrate you! I know how hard that is. I had to tell my Mom to back off which hurt her because she felt so helpless...but it was extremely important for my well being and recovery.
As time goes you will be able to do more and more. It is a long period of trail and error...lean on your family and friends for support, but don't let them do everything for you. It will only frustrate you and prolong the healing/recovery/learning process.
Molly, Life goes on... and you will get through this. Your attitude, positive self image, and support from your family and friends will determine how well.
Good Luck on your recovery.You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I would love to come and visit with you when you feel up to it. I'll try to get in touch with you after June 1. Hang in there, you will get through this!
Martha Hill Gaskill
PS. There is a United States Paralympic Swim Team that someday you may want to compete on. They compete internationally. I can get information on it for you at a future date if you're interested...

Hey Molly...I don't know if you remember me, but I played soccer with you a LONG time ago on Kirk Smith's team. Flying foxes! My mom was reading the newspaper and saw an article about what happened and then looked at the OLD roster that we still have, called the lady that wrote the article, and connected A and B. I just wanted to say that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
Sincerely,

Dear Molly and family,
I heard about your tragedy today. I'm visiting my mom for the weekend and I attended her little church in Borrego Springs (Calvary Chapel)this morning. The congregation prayed for you together --- to have peace and God inspired recovery. I tied a "prayer knot" on a quilt that the women are making for you. I will keep you in my prayers every day. I can't imagine how hard this is. I do know that God strengthens us and builds character through our trials in life. The book of "Job" comes to mind --- with how God gets us through the tragedies, especially when we continue to lean on Him. I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around you and your family --- and give you amazing peace and comfort. I will follow your story on this website. I will also ask my friends and family to pray for you (and I will continue to do the same).
May God bless and carry you.
God bless you.
Danielle Barrom
Molly, we have become aquainted with you through the daily messages from your mom. You are a special lady and with such loving and caring parents, you will make it through such a great challenge.
You could win any race. just with that beautiful smile you have.
Molly,
Hang In there! Be strong, be brave. You are in for the long haul; but as life goes this will be but a moment in your life, and you will still be you. Always remember that you are loved by so many, and you are in our thoughts and prayers always.
Love,
Jim + Judy Phillips.
Dear Sweet Molly & Your Amazing Family, Your strength & courage is beyond belief. I haven't even had the courage to write to you, until now, for fear of saying the wrong thing. It's so difficult to put into words such painful emotions. I only met you once - when I did your hair for prom - and I am so deeply sorry that such a special night had to end in this way. You and your family have been such an inspiration to so many. I've never seen or read such a display of love and strength. I just know that when the the worst of this is over, the future will hold so many wonderful things for all of you. You are on my mind constantly and I've never valued the time with my children more. I wish you all the very best and as painless a recovery as possible. God only knows why this happened to such a wonderful person, but it will be okay in the end. Hold on to your strength and know that you are so loved by so many. Love to all of you and hope that YOU can sleep tight soon. With all of my heart, Cecily Hemmingsen
Dear Molly and your family,
I keep an eye on your progress everyday, holding my breath and praying. Keep strong everyone.

Dear Molly & family,
We share your grief and are praying for you every day. There is only one way to get through this and that is through Jesus. He WILL bring you through this and you WILL smile again and find happiness. Please ask Him for His peace every time you need peace. He WILL give it to you if you believe. We love you all,
Molly - you go - so many people are poised to see you accomplish great things and when you need a knudge from any one of us, we will be there to help you emotionally and physically get to where you want to be. If you are interested in the visual arts, I am happy to work as a private tutor (free of charge). Whether it helps with your recovery, lifts your spirit or gives you a break from all of the other things you will accomplish - getting lost in making something with your hands and mind may offer you a peaceful way to escape while allowing you a discovery you would never have thought possible. Often this discovery will transfer to other areas in your life.
With that I will write a short bio as a way to qualify this offer should you be interested. I have taught at two different univeristies, at Park Hill Elemetary and Smiley Middle Schools as a visiting artist and I collaborated to design the art along the TREX corridor in Denver.
And finally, my son and daughter attend East. Whenever and if you are ready, call, I will make time for you, even if it's months or years from now.

Hi Bernie nad robert Sorry i have been slacking on the this, it's not because we have not been thinking of you guys. It is so hard to imagine what you have been going through, it makes my trying times seem very petty. I want to do something to help. Let us know if there is anything no matter how big or small. Tom is not working with Gale any more so we don"t get the updates like we used to. You are definitally in our thoughts and prayers. Your cousin Diane
Molly's family, Until charges are filed, the law enforcement agency handling the case should be in contact with you re: what charges if any they plan to file. Then it is up to the DA to accept or change the charges filed. You have a right to ask questions any time you want, you have a right to know what is happening with the case. My suggestion is to contact a victim advocate at the law enforcement agency - let them be your liasion between you, detectives, and district attorneys. You have enough to deal with and you don't have to do this part alone. Good luck.
Diana
Victim Advocate
Dear Molly, You do not know us but we heard about your accident and have been following your recovery. We were at the hospital once to see you but it was not a good time. My wife, Lyda, was hit by a car, a drunk driver, and lost her right leg because of the accident. She has had a prothesis ever since 1957. She wants to see you some time and wants you to know that she prays for you all the time. And we pray that God, the God of all comfort, will show himself faithful to comfort you and help you to recover from this tradgedy. He has been our help and stay through all these years and we know that He will be there for you. God bless. Don and Lyda Slife
Dearest Molly,
I am a mother of 2. I have been following your story. My dear, I wish you all the best and I pray for you daily. In my heart I believe that everthing happens for a reason. I know that it always doesn't seem that way, but I am a true believer in that. You have so many people that love you and care for you. So many people that have never even met you, but are inspired by your courage. You, Dear Molly are an inspiration to me and so many others. Stick in there and I can't wait to hear of your return to the water.
Much Love...
A Mother
I have started to type comments on this page many times and then erased them. I read Molly's Page continually just to keep up with Molly's progress and her amazing family and friends. I am a mother of four and today, Bernie, I had to write and not erase the words. I know tha you don't want to hear that you are amazing, inspirtational, strong, loving, and everything else that describes a parent who just loves her children. A Parent who would take all of their suffering and pain from them and put it on herself if it were at all possible. Through your words I feel your pain and suffering and hope and encouragement! As I am still crying from your words from today, I will continue to pray for Molly's strength and yours and your family's to somehow get through one day at a time and count the blessings that you get each day even if they seem so small. From one mother to another, you are AMAZING and WONDERFUL and the STRENGTH that get's your family through another day. It is never a weight to be that person because we love our families so much that we would feed them ice chips until our fingers turn blue! Much love and admiration! I will continue to check in and pray for all of you!
Hey, guys--
My name is Bonny, and I'm the nurse who took care of Molly her last couple of nights in the SICU at DH. Lori gave me the shirt you dropped off for me, from her swim-a -thon. Thanks! :) I hope all is well with you all. I remember your calm strength and graciousness, and your loving support for Molly. While I appriciate your posts about our support for you all, you should know that your support gives us heart, too. I have thought of you often since your departure from the SI, and will undoubetly continue to do so. Best to you all.
Yours,
Bonny

Molly, you are so strong, and I pray that you continue to find strength in God because he is great and is always at your side, along with gaurdian angels. Your family seems wonderful, and I know you guys will get through this together because that is what families do. I wish you the best, and will pray for you.

Dear Molly,
Ten years ago I spent 2 weeks on a ventilator (following an asthma attack) and was paralyzed. I spent 1 month in ICU and then another 3 months in the hospital and rehab. My sister kept a diary much like your mother's blog. Your mother's blog will be read over and over through the years. You will find immense comfort from it. To this day I am amazed at the good things that happened, and new paths that were taken as a result of a time of such pain and uncertainty for me. I know you will find it true as well. May God bless you and your family. My nephew graduated from East this year. I live in Atlanta and join my Denver family in sending you prayers and love for a speedy recovery. Mary
Molly,
There are so many of us that dont know you.... but we all are so impressed with your perseverance and spirit!
You may not feel like the champion you are, but know that you are admired like the greatest of heros!

Molly,
My daughter, Rachel(8 yrs), and I wanted to wish you the best in your recovery. Rachel say's, "I hope you feel better". God Bless you and your family! Stay strong...you can do this, girl! You are a true inspiration to us!
Molly,
I'm sure you don't know me and i didn't know you very well before your accident, but i can't begin to tell you what an impact you have had on my life. For the first time in my life you have shown me what true courage and strength really looks like. It amazes me to see that you are still fighting to be your best in spite of your condition. As I watched your senior class graduate tears came to my eyes when they called your name and I could only hope that one day I might be as strong and courageous as you. I know you'll be better soon and i'll continue to pray for you and your family.
Dear Molly:
You don't know me -- I live in Dayton, Ohio, and just heard about you this morning.
You and your family are strong people, from what I have gathered, and I wish with all of my heart that you continue to use that strenth and perserverance to amaze your doctors and PTs.
May you get home soon so you can enjoy the comforts that await you there.... including your cat!
I will pray for you, Molly.
In His Love,
Lori
Dayton, OH
Molly, I was compelled to read your mother's blog today from start to finish, with tears running down my face. I have followed your story via the news media since the accident but just now read the blog entries. I am also the mother of 2 beautiful daughters and although younger than you and your sister, cannot imagine what you and your family are going through. I pray for you to keep your strength and determination! You are a beautiful girl and very lucky to have such a wonderful mother who obviously loves her family more than life itself. Stay strong beautiful girl! God has much in store for you!
I am a 48 year old man who lives on the west coast. Lately I have been depressed about how my life has gone and how I always hoped for more. To put things in perspective, I have a house, a family, two new cars and a $3,500 TV. I read the news today about Molly and I just sat in front of my laptop computer and the tears rolled out of my eyes. I am truly blessed and I didn't even realize it until just now.
Sincerest wishes for your recovery.

Molly,
I am from Virginia Beach and I heard about your story this morning on a local radio station. I recently got married 4 weeks ago, and with in that time my father in law fell real ill and had to loose his leg, I am using you as a way to pump up his spirits. You are amazing, and couragious. I hope all of the best for you in the future. Just remember, nothing can slow you down if you don't let it. God Bless you Molly! And thank you for giving me a way to show my new father in law that anything is possible if you don't give up.
Hi Molly and Bernadine,
You do not know me, I came across your story on Yahoo this morning as I was checking my emails.
Molly, I want to tell you that I am so impressed with you!
You are a fighter and a remarkable young woman.
My 13 year old daughter's two heroes are her mom(me) and Bethany Hamilton. She is the Surfer who lost her arm to a shark, and still surfers!
That is determination and fortitude. :-)
I have a feeling that my daughter, after reading about you, and your determiniation, you will also be an inspiration to her.
I know that it is going to be a very hard and long road, but you can make your life anything that you want it to be.
The thing that makes a life stand out is doing the extraordinary, being the one who forges ahead and even though life is rough, never giving up.
Giving up is easy, by no one ever said life was supposed to be easy, just worth it.
I have a feeling that you will be an inspiration to millions of young women out there. From what I read on your mom's blog, you will be one of my daughter's three heroes.
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family during your recovery.
To your mom, you are awesome and my hero!
I lost a daughter to Leukemia a few years ago and it was the hardest thing in the world. I am so grateful that you have your "little" girl still.
You are doing a great job being her hero, and I am positive that like my daughter, you are Molly's hero too!
I read the article about the benefit for Molly, what a wonderful idea!! I had not heard about the accident because I live in Florida. I noticed Molly's birthday is the same day as mine, May 13th. I will keep you in my prayers and check everyday to see your progress, keep up the GREAT work!! A Friend in Florida, Vikki
hey molly i hope your feeling better you and your family are in our prayers get well and hang in there.
Hi Molly,

Woodmoor Country Club said they would let me do things the month of September and they would collect the proceeds to be given to you in October. I want you to know I have not forgot you.
If it is ok with you and your parents for us to do this for you I will try and to my part to let you know you are cared about by so many people. Could your mom call my mom. Her phone number is 719-216-3084 Her name is Vicky Rollins
