Today felt like an eternity. Molly struggled with a high temperature all day. She was scheduled for surgery and that was canceled again because of new emergencies coming in. Each time they bump her back I can't help but think about another family who will be going through the misery that we are and I shed a tear for them. God has granted us another day with Molly.
The phone call at 9:00 pm from the hospital struck fear in our hearts, but our fear immediately was replaced with relief. Molly was going into the OR. This time the news was good and the doctors were pleased with her progress. One little victory at a time. I suspect tomorrow will be another fever day. That is scary.
Paul, you left your red dress here. Come and get it. Thanks for the laugh. Laughter IS the best medicine.
To all of our relatives posting their comments, this means the world to us. To all of Molly's friends, thank you for your support. She will probably not be allowed visitors on Thurs., but if you come by, please leave a little note in her journal. These will be your voices when she is recouperating and you will be away at school.
To the staff and faculty at East, I can't begin to tell you how much your kind words and deeds have meant to us and they are a testament to Molly's character. Mrs. Callum, you have a lot to be proud of. Thank you.
To all the kind strangers offering advice, you don't know how much your words help us gather the strength to keep going.
Rodger, you keep Bob laughing with your daily stories. Dana, your chicken salad was devine.
Sarah, you rock!!! Michael, I want to know more about your energy healing technique.
Katy, keep hanging in there with us. We need you. Good night, all you Angels. Sleep tight.

molly will travel with me and i will be in touch. be strong but allow others to care for you. you need to go the long stretch so don't lose sight of that. each day molly is here is another day of a miracle.
i love you all.

Dear Blooms, Your strength is amazing-you must be people of great Faith. Remember John 14:27 "Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Molly has the greatest physician "OUR LORD" over seeing her care. He will guide the doctors and heal her broken body, and as for her spirit, if she's anything like her mother who updates the world on her daughters progress, her spirit can never be broken. As always my prayers are with your entire family (and all who witnessed these horrible accident.)

I CONTINUE TO CHECK IN DAILY TO GET THE UPDATE ON MOLLY. I DON'T KNOW YOUR FAMILY PERSONALLY BUT YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
Hi Bernie,
It's me, Connie. I have been keeping in touch with your mom and keeping track on the blog. I still can't quite get my mind around it all. It just doesn't seem possible that anything so horrible could have happened to that cute little girl I remember dancing around in your mom's kitchen.
Try and take it a little easy on yourselves girl. Remember Molly has some of your mom in her and I don't know of anything that could make me more sure that she will make it. That stubborn, determined, "I will too!!" attitude is bound to be in Molly and it will pull her through. Just don't wear yourselves out before she gets there!
Love you.
Dear Blooms:
I cannot imagine what you are going through, but I want you to know that we all think of you often and are keeping you all in our thoughts.
Stay strong!!

A Prayer For Today-
Let there be a sanctuary where your spirit feels secure. A place reserved for calm and quiet, where your heart is strong and sure. A place where all your thoughts are free to contemplate the sky. A refuge to restore your faith and give you strength to fly.
Dear MoJo,
I arf you.

Bernie: Hi, my name is Tracie - my husband David and I are friends of Marcia & Jose. We know Bob also as we live on his route. Please tell Bob that we miss seeing his smiling face every day. I think of the many times over the years when he would stop to chat - we would usually talk about our daughters. Although I've never met Molly, I feel like I know her a little bit, based on conversations with her proud father.
Please know that the entire neighborhood is pulling for you all - we think good thoughts for Molly every day.
I heard about Molly's Page in the Rocky Mountain News. Your daughter reminds me so much of my own. I just want to say I understand what you are currently going through. My family has experienced sickness, pain and grief. I will pray for Molly daily and for the family sitting there waiting for improvement. The paper never shares the extent of her injuries. Could you share that with us so we can better help you in this time of need. May God be with you all.
Dear Bob
You can't know how often we think of Molly and you and pray for her swift recovery. The three of us at our enclave are heartsick about what you must be going through and send positive and loving thoughts your way. We have known you, Bob, for over 22 years now and Bill and I remember our conversations about our "Molly's" and feel like we know her from those hello's when you deliver our mail. I have more quiet time now as I recover from breast cancer surgery (the day before Molly's accident) and include all of you in my daily prayers. Our love to you as we pray that God grants you many more days and months and years with Molly and that each day she will get stronger as she feels the love and support of her family and friends. Love, Bill, Kathy, Molly and Casey Fortune
Hi Bernie,
Welcome back to your positive self! I am glad to hear that you have a bit more faith today! Don't forget hope and faith are all that we have sometimes!
I have done a lot of research for Molly's condition, there are some fantastic sites and support out there and some really good stories about people rebounding from her unique condition which is heartwarming!
Please give Molly a gentle kiss for us all and let her know we are not forgetting about her and that we wish you all well!
All of the love in the world!
Bloom Family;
My daughter was a member of East High's class of 06 and she remembers Molly very well.
We are continuously praying for healing and strength for Molly, your family and all who have been touched by this tragedy.
God will see you through, just keep your faith and trust in Him.
We love you and we thank you for creating this page so we can continue to be a part of Molly's recovery and stay connected to you.
I am the mother of an East student who is close to some of Molly's friends, but doesn't know her well. I worked at Denver Health for many years. Something you can do while sitting with her - read a favorite book. Harry Potter or Winnie the Pooh or Judy Blume - it doesn't matter. It gives you something to focus on, and it gives her your loving voice saying words that are familiar and connected to a more normal time.
Hang in there-
Dear Molly & Family,
Hugs to you all. Keep hanging in there & know that plenty of people are sending good thoughts your way.
I keep holding my breath, hopingthat it'll all turn out okay. The thing I want most is to see Molly at CU BOulder this fall, happy to be there^^ You deserve it Molly. Congradulations on graduating, and I hope to come and visit soon. I am still trying to not get lost finding the hospital. I've never been there. *big hugs* You can do this!
Susan from denver
I'm an EHS '73 grad. My daughter just finished her sophmore year at EHS. In Oct 2004 my husband broke his neck. He was at Denver Health for 17 days. 14 days in ICU 7 days in a drug induced coma like Molly.During the coma, when I talked to him, I always spoke of his strength (he's a soccer player & referee) & how I knew he would be ok. I told him what our kids did that day, positive things that were happening that day in the
world. I spoke in a positive voice and always expected the best in his recovery. He has recovered completely. My positive thoughts & prayers are with your family and Molly.
Best wishes from up in Louisville.
Get well soon, Molly.
We send our best wishes to Molly and her family. Our daughter, Ginger, is a friend of Tara Friend's, so she has met Molly and hung out with her. As a mother, I think about Molly every day as I am sure all other mothers out there. From our family to yours take care.
The Tallmadges
We love you molly. You are an amazing person, and you can get through anything if you just put your mind to it and believe in yourself. We wish the best of luck in the future, and we know that you will accomplish great things.
To the parents of Molly-
stay strong! You have gone through a lot and are amazing people. You and Molly will be in our thoughts and prayers. Know that you have bundles of support and love behind you, so never give up.

I'm writing from Eagle County.
I recently came home from spending over 2 mos in several different Denver hospitals - pretty intensive and painful treatment. I was unable to read, watch TV and my family was hours away - we live in the mountains. You've received some very valuable advice about filling in the time and staying in verbal contact with Molly. I imagine all of you are already doing this - revisiting is a good thing: do read anything Molly might like (books, messages, newspapers, etc.) - the positive and involved sounds of your voices and the "outside" content help so many things in so many ways for her (and yourselves)! Do talk about her strengths, the multiple reasons to stay strong and pull (fight) to get better. Talk like its a foregone conclusion that she will improve, get better, and be fine in the end. Your unity and vocalized strengths are as good as any medicene she gets! Talk to her about people she knows. To hear about being "in touch" by and with outside people is a major plus! Luckily you all have many - use that special resource. Will they allow playing "her" music softly? She's there and all the positive, environmental support you guys can provide is "priceless". "Molly's Page" is (more than) good for everyone - thank you! If nothing else, I hope we are bringing each of you the strength to "keep going" and continue doing what you are doing for and with Molly! God Bless each of you!

I check the page every day, I like getting the updates from you. I am glad to hear things are going a little better.One step at a time is what is going to take. I miss you all and I can't wait to see you. I will be there soon.
Love,

Katy Bloom -
Sorry to hear about your sister. I know how frustrating it is not to be able to do anything -- for Molly or your mom & dad. And you're afraid and sad too and no one has time for you.
Hang in there. Find a task that you can do to help out if you haven't already. Like a list of people who visit each day, or write thank you notes from the family to those that send food and help out in special way. It will help pass the time and take your mind off the sadness.
Hang in there.
Dear Bernie,
Let that anger flow - you're right, that driver made a huge and thoughtless mistake - and if you keep that anger down it will just haunt you over time. You've got to find a way to let it all out with someone safe and supportive so that it doesn't eat you alive.
lots of love, MM
I just wanted to tell Molly how good her sister was at the basketball games we had the other night at the DAC. Katy asked us all to wear a long sock on our left legs and told us we needed to win the games for Molly. We won them for you Molly. You've got an amazing sister in Katy. I know you already know that. I'm thinking about you Molly and I know you will pull through this. I love you all. -Andrew Appell
I'm sorry to hear things are not progressing as fast as everyone had hoped. Sometimes it is difficult to see the end of the road, and even though you can't see it...it is there.
I just learned last night that some friends of ours 15 year old son was found dead on their couch Tuesday morning. I am sad for their loss, but it makes me see the positive side of Molly's misfortune. She's still here and there is still hope. Keep the positive energy and the healing will continue (Even if it is at turtle's speed)! Still praying
Love,
Sarah

ps- you'll probably have the cooler scar now- damn.
Bobby, Bernie, Katy and Molly,
Tuesday Terry and I returned to work from our vacation/time off (most of it spent praying for Molly and you guys.) As our co-workers approached us to know how our vacation to Denver was, we shared Molly's story and it is astounding how everyone was moved to tears just by hearing her story, imagine how all of us feel who actually know and care about you? Our church has a prayer-chain and your whole family is on it. We pray for strength, bravery and it goes without saying, recovery for your sweet girl.
All our love,
Terry and Jolene
Just a note from your cousins in AZ to let you know that you are in our hearts and prayers.

Dear Bloom family,
I'm also a parent of one of Molly's classmates and thought you would like to know that a group of '06 Angels donated blood yesterday in Molly's honor. Thank you for the daily updates -- we've been keeping her in our thoughts and send prayers for healing, strength, and courage to you all. Know that for everyone who posts here there are many, many more also praying for you all.

Bob, Bernie, and Katy,
We found out from my sister in Denver about Molly's tragedy. We just moved to the DC area two weeks ago to begin a new life here. I can't tell you how badly I feel for the three of you. You were such good friends of ours when we lived in Denver and even though we may have lost touch through the years, our hearts are bleeding for you now.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the three of you. My sister, Jan, says to let her know if there is absolutely anything she can do for you there in Denver.
We are thinking of you.
Mike and Bonnie Collins
Hello,
You sound like such a close, loving & strong family and how wonderful for Molly. Your family & Molly's friends are in my thoughts & prayers.

Dear Blooms,
I considered it such an honor to have spoken with both of you the other day. Molly has amazing parents. With the kind of devotion you have for your daughter miracles are created. I have witnessed so many of these miracles it could fill a book. But for your pain and complete frustration regarding this whole situation there are no adequate words, just ALL our prayers, love, and support.
I forgot to give you my e-mail address so will leave it with our precious receptionist who sits at the SICU entrance.
I meant every word I said!!
I also wanted you to know that your Molly is so amazingly beautiful!!!! she took my breath away.
You have every right to be as angry as you desire.
What to say to Molly? Right now I think the love you have for her is sufficient. Just continue to fill that love throughout every square inch of Molly's room. This is a bit of what Michael is referring to in energy healing. A big part towards recovery from trauma.
Also, everyone write a check to Molly's fund because, as was stated, recovery costs are not that well covered and she needs our complete support.
Prayers and Support
Adorey
Dear Bernie and Bob, I heard about the accident, but it wasn't until today that I realized that the precious angel is my Molly! I don't know if you remember me, but I was Molly's daycare provider when I lived on Bellaire St. Not a day goes by when I don't look at my little charges and wonder where their lives will take them. I'm heartbroken for the saddness, the pain and the tears of uncertainty you are living right now. We are used to our children drawing upon our strength, but it is at these crossroads that you will be forever changed, empowered, and enlightened by the strength of your daughter. All that you have ever shared and taught her shines through in these moments of need. I know that anger is a way to cope, but in the end there is so much more to our world. The love, the support, the prayers, the tears, the smiles, and the laughter are what we've taught in life, and what we must hold dear. I love you all, and hold sweet little Molly in my heart! Love, Erin
I want to wish Molly the best and I just want to tell her to get better. You will get through this no matter what.
Molly and family-
It is great to hear that Molly is doing better!! We think of you ALL everyday and check on her daily progress. We don't know you personally but Thank You so much for keeping us posted on her recovery.
You ALL are in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong for Molly and know that it's okay to feel angry, just don't keep it to yourself. Talk to someone/cry it out so you can continue to be strong and be there for Molly!!!
I was talking to my son and he remembers having some classes with Molly in their freshmen and sophmore years. She is a very smart and strong young woman!!
I'm praying for you.
My son graduated from East last year and my daugher will be a junior there next year. You are all in our thoughts and prayers every day.
I was not fortunate enough to meet Molly, but I am an East Angel and many of my friends are lucky enough to have gotten to know her. She is truly loved by everyone, and East was missing a very important member in the last days of school. I cannot imagine what you all must be going through, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. Molly sounds like a very strong, courageous young woman, and I know she perservere.
Love Always,
Meg
Molly,
You seem like such a beautiful and vibrant girl with a wonderful spirit. I have been following your story and thinking about you often, though we don't know each other. I am a nurse at another hospital in Denver. I see you enveloped by healing love and light, and pray for you daily. I believe there is much power in the prayers of the hundreds if not thousands of people you have touched. God bless you, Molly. You are in our hearts.
I don't know you but I want to wish you well. These last few weeks should have been the best time of your life but it turned to tragedy. I wish you all the best and hope for a speedy recovery for you and a positive future ahead!
