We want to let everyone know how good it is to read your comments on this blog. It helps give us the strength and determination to face another day, or sometimes another hour. We keep waiting for a good news day, and I guess Saturday was one. Her surgery went well and she didn't spike a fever. She is fighting so hard to get well. She tires very easily, which is a sign of how hard she is trying. This girl is not a slacker! She makes me feel lame. Even in the fog of all the heavy duty pain medication she is on, she is still able to make a joke now and then. Katy tends to bring out the best in her. She lights up when her sister is in the room.
Lynn, I look forward to the day when Abby gets back because Molly really wants to see her. She is very happy that she is taking care of herself. Saying "I love you" every day is a good thing.
Max and Linda, the beruk was perfect. Thank you.
Mom, thanks for giving us to tools to deal. I love you.

Dear Bernie and Bob ~
Today my son's Angel yearbook was sitting on the couch after he left the house to hang with his friends. It's been buried in his room or being signed by someone until today and I hadn't seen this year's yet. I was thumbing through the pics ... but not reading what his friends wrote (that's a private deal I'm respecting!!)... and I came upon all the Seniors' baby pictures. I love Molly's! I love that she is dressed like a super hero because it sounds like she really is fighting like a super hero ... and she has become a super hero to so many of us. I find myself thinking to myself on a regular basis, "quit complaining, think about what Molly (and Bob and Bernice and Katy) are going through!" I love what you wrote to her, too ... "with every challenge you face always look forward, remember what is important and realize you don't have to change the world, just don't let it change you." In her short 17 years you have helped her become what it sounds like to be an incredibly strong and resilient young woman. Keep looking forward. You are an amazing family and Molly, you are an amazing person. You are loved and thought of constantly by a whole group of us who never even knew you before (East is a big place ... Denver an even bigger place). You have become part of my heart/our hearts. Hang in there. Get strong. Keep us posted. God bless.
I just read the update story on Molly in today's (Sunday) Denver Post. I am still in tears. I know that words, especially from a stranger, can do little for your situation. But please know that feel some very small amount of your pain.
I, also, just read the update in the Sunday paper. This is so hard for all of you... I hope it helps to know that yet another stranger is keeping you in my heart.

We thought the article in today's Denver post was very well done. It shows your family's strength, your justifiable anger, your fear of the future, for Molly, and how every day is a trial. Please, let me know if you want me to make that contact that Alia mentioned. It may be very helpful, financially. We love and respect you all.

Molly, God bless you and keep you strong as you fight the battle to overcome this terrible thing that has happened to you. Every night I pray to God to help you accept this new direction your life has taken. I pray that you will have all the resources you need to allow you to become the wonderful woman you are intended to be. Please know I love you. My love goes to your wonderful family as well.

I also read the update in the paper today. My heart breaks for all of you, and my prayers have been with you ever since I heard about this tragedy. Even though my mother's situation cannot even come close to Molly's, my 86-year-old mother lost her leg 20 years ago after many, many surgeries to try to save her leg. I didn't understand it at the time, but I know that the purpose that God had for my mother was for her to help other amputees. She has been such an inspiration to others and has helped amputees who had given up to get back into life. My mother today, with one leg, is more active than anyone I know who is her age! God bless you!

Molly,
Sending warm thoughts and lots of hugs your way. Hang in there! You will beat this thing, one day at a time,that is all it takes is, one day at a time till it adds up to a faded memory crowded out by the busy full life ahead of you.
XOXOXOX Jamie
Dear Bloom family:
As I read the story in the Post this morning, I realize Bernie and Bob and Molly what brave people you are. You continue to show grace during all of this and I find that amazing. We are all thinking about you often and continue to pray for your family.

Thank you for sharing your story in the newspaper. I have been reading this site each day since the first day, and have been sending prayers and messages. I do not know any of you personally. This sad tragedy has touched me in such a way that I cannot even explain. I am the mother of a 17 year old at East and it has made me look at her life so differently. I never waste one moment in loving her and listening to her and being part of her life. Not that I did not love her this much before, I just realize how very lucky I am that God gave me this precious person to raise and nurture. Thank you for sharing your challenges and your perserverance in wanting Molly to have a life filled once again with joy. God Bless You
Much love to Molly and her family. She sounds like an extremely strong and capable young woman. I look forward to reading about her continuing recovery on this blog.
Molly, I hope that some day I'm half as strong as you are.
Molly and family,
I am a physical therapist in the Denver area who has been following your progress since the accident. It is evident through everyone's postings what a strong person you are and what tremendous support you have, which is very important!! I have worked with amputees and even your type of injury. Live in the moment for now. Fight each and every day. You have already won many small battles. Take them one at a time. Tell people what you need. Your family will grow as it already has to incorporate many medical professionals that you will come to love and trust through your recovery. I will send you a more personal letter privately... I'm just taking my time to find the right words to help inspire you and your family. I send you strength and will continue to monitor your progress from the sidelines!!
Hang in there Molly. If we could somehow harness the energy, thoughts and prayers that are sent your way each and every day, we would be able to power the city for eternity. I hope that as you need more energy to fight your fight that you can use "our" energy in some way. Bob and Bernie you are my average friends thrown into that anything but average situation and you know that I am here if and when you need whatever I can help with. You gotta believe. Baby steps add up!
Hi Blooms all,
Sorry I woke you today Bob. What a sweet picture you gave me though of the two of you resting together. Bernie, another excellent job with the article in the Post today. You are the word GRACE personified. I am so incredibly proud to know you all. I hope you have rubbed off even a little!!
Sending tons and buckets of love and prayers for healing your way,
Cindy
thank you for keeping us all updated. you are all amazing and coragous people to be going through this! i hope mollys recovery goes smoothly and we all hope for the best! MOLLY IS AMAZING!
Dear Molly,
This is Mary Bozeman I worked with you at Congress last year and the whole staff misses you. I just want to tell you good luck and that you are such a strong and caring person and because of that you will get through this. My prayers are with you. Good Luck Molly
Love Mary
Hello Bob, Bernie, Katy and Molly, What a brave girl Molly is. With her attitude the way it is, she will get better very soon. Cracking jokes now is unreal. She had a very strong upbringing. What wonderful parents. The example you give has a lot to do with this. God bless you all.
I have a question for Bob. Why do they put pictures of criminals up at the post office. Do they think we are going to write to them? Why don't they put them on postage stamps? Then when the carriers are delivering the mail, they can look for them. Stay strong and stay cool, Denver Bob
miss molly,
you never cease to amaze me. your courage and strength inspire me. you are a beautiful girl and i love you so much. hopefully we get to come out and see you sometime soon. because i freakin miss you. love you girl.
love, jilly
ps...
molly, the pictures of you in the denver post are beautiful. what a hottie! you are gorgeous!!!
I am glad that Molly was doing well after her surgery. We continue to pray for all of you daily.
I have been following your updates and Molly's progress since the beginning. I just wanted to let you and your family know how strong, courageous, and supportive you are. I wish the best for your entire family throughout this horrible tragedy. As many have stated earlier, there is a big plan for you and your family. I know it may not seem clear or fair now but in time it will. I know I will be reading about Molly and all of her wonderful and amazing accomplishments (after she has healed) in the near future. Take care of each other and especially Molly.
Thank you for entering this information every day that you can. It is understandable when you miss a day - don't feel that you have to be strong for all of us, too.
I just want to tell you it has been so good to see the comments and entries, so re-affirming - the love and compassion entered here are more love and compassion than many people see in a lifetime.
Hello,
My heartfelt love extends to your family.
I had a young friend who had many surgeries due to a childhood arthritic condition.
She told me she had to grieve the loss, like any other significant loss, and then she could gradually move forward.
Loving wishes as your family moves gently and steadily forward.
Love,
Dear Bernie,
Just wanted to let you all know that I'm thinking of you today and sending you love. I was so glad to read that Molly's surgery went well on Saturday.

I just wanted to take this oppertunity to say that I am so so inspired by your family and how strong you have stayed through this whole expeierence. I don't know Molly very well, but being a Virgina Vale swimmer I've seen her around. My Mom and I, are going to start bringing brownies and snacks over to the hospital. If there is anything we can do please let us know. We are praying and keeping Molly in our thoughts.
Best wishes.
Willa and Patricia Vaughan
