For the first time in two months Molly got to go outside today for a few minutes. She was able to get into a wheel chair and we took her out to the courtyard. You tend to take the smallest things for granted. Just sitting in a chair for 10 minutes was very painful, but she didn't complain and was happy to get out of her prison for a short while. If my only view of the world for two months was a ceiling, I would be a raving lunatic by now. This was way bigger than a baby step!!
To all of my coworkers in Littleton, I am sorry we couldn't be there yesterday.
We want to thank all of you for the hard work and love you poured into this affair for Molly. Ralph, you look good on TV. So do you Sandy. I love all of you so much. Gotta get back to the room to see what's in store for today (SAT). God Bless.

Yahoo for Molly! Give her that little taste of freedom, and the next thing you know, she'll be coming home! Molly, you rock. Put those other wimps to shame and reach your goals. I know nothing is going to stand in your way--at least for long. I'm so proud of you! Love you lots.

Hooray! The outside! What an accomplishment, and I know it seems like forever, but really such a short time after so serious an ordeal. This is only the start!
Makes me realize how blessed I am. I guess I will stop complaining now about arthritis.
Wow, Molly is such a trooper! She impresses me every single day!
All the love in the world!

Molly Bloom,
You are wonderful. I think next time I get to see you we will try and be outside and have a picnic. You have touched the world. You make everyone in the world proud for your strength and heart and just plain wonderfulness! I was talking to your dad last night and trying to plan some visiting dates. Jill is anxious to get to see you too. We will work on it.
Love you sweet Molly,
Frani
Today I learned of Molly's ordeal and have not been able to get her off of my mind. I've read every single word posted in the blog and have nothing but praise for the strength and hope that Molly and the rest of her loved ones have. My Mother was an amputee and I know a few others who have lost their limbs to accidents. It is not an easy journey but I pray that Molly will continue her fight to prove to everyone that no matter what anything is possible! I am trying to get others to send in donations to help support her recovery because I know every little bit helps. Also, I want to say that I admire your strength and courage that you have during this time with your daughter's difficult recovery. Knowing what I went through with my Mom allows me to somewhat relate to how you're feeling, even though I know a Mother's love superceeds ALL. I pray that you continue to have the strength you need to get through this and Molly is truly blessed to have you as her Mom. GO MOLLY!!! :)
MolllllllllYYYYYYYYYY ~
YOU ROCK!!
Molly, holy cow...I was listening to Headline News and they mentioned the Jessica Beil date thingy.....see Molly everyone cares.It just blows me away how many do care and then I realize, hey Im just a person living in Wisconsin and I care. I know that you are going to do well cuz youu have IT in you. Fly Molly, fly and never stop......
I just read about Molly's story today, and she sounds like a viery strong young woman. I have a friend that last year sustained very similar injuries, and her dream was to get back out playing rugby by this summer. She is doing so well, and I know from what I have read about you Molly, you have so much support, and love around you that you will be able to do everything you want in time. I hope that you had a great borthday, and good luck with everything in the future. Megan Carson from Halifax, Canada meggie_007@hotmail.com
Good Luck. You have a great community.
GREAT NEWS!!! HEY I SAW AN ANOUNCEMENT ON CNN HEADLINE NEWS TALKING ABOUT THE DATE WITH JENNIFER & THE MOLLY BENEFIT. WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE IT ON NATIONAL NEWS, GOD BLESS EVERYBODY INVOLVED & HOPE & PRAY EVERYTHING GOES GREAT & A LOT OF MONEY IS RAISED TO HELP MOLLY!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT MOLLY & HER WONDERFUL FAMILY!!!
Dear Family:
I'm betting on more days outside for Molly!
And... hoping Molly's Mom is taking breaks when needed, and getting chances to rest in between all the caretaking.
Sincerely,
Leigh

What do you say to the girl who just aged a year in the past few days, but may have just matured ten years in the past two months? I can't quite capture the right words, but I'll give it a try...
Molly, you are a monument of bravery and have valliantly earned every major and minor victory you have fought for in the past two months. I am a amazed at your continual drive to make yourself better and better with each passing day. I don't know if I could put myself in your position and say that I could have come halfway as far as you have made it! But there you are, determined as ever to let yourself choose what you want to do today, and the next day, and the next... So here's to you Molly... Let's keep it going. You are as willing and able to WIN as you ever were!
...And having the best support staff on the earth is a good thing too! :)
Molly,
Just in case you didn't know, you are so cool. And such an inspiration to so many. I look forward to the day when I hear/read that you are going home and the entire Denver area is having a huge party for "Molly Day". Don't laugh...it could happen! :) And I want to say thanks to your Mom/family for keeping up the blog. I check it daily! Though I have never met you, my daughter and I feel you are a part of our family. (Rachel, 8yrs) She asks me how you are doing all the time. Keep your chin up...congrats on your outside adventure today..may there be many more of those in your future! Hugs to you! And prayers too. ~April & Rachel~
Dear Molly,
I am an alumni of East High (class of '84). I just happened upon your story while visiting the "Ancient Angels" website (www.ancientangels.com). Your strength, and courage is very commendable, but of course, you are an angel in every sense of the word. Nothing less than a miracle is to be expected. Godspeed on your recovery, and you have a nation of angels behind you. I live in Atlanta now, and I have a nephew that will be a Jr. at East this upcoming school year. I'll be sure to encourage him to support you in any way he can.

Molly,
I saw the article about Jessica Biel auctioning off a date for you on a news webpage. This caught my eye, so I looked up your name in the Denver Post and read pretty much all of the articles about what happened. Even though I have never met you, I am so proud of you. To live through something like that takes an enormous amount of strength. I graduated high school in '02 and was a swimmer myself for 14 years. The outpouring of love that your friends and teammates have shown is amazing. People don't do things like that for a friend who was just an "ok person". Everyone should be so lucky to have a friend like you. Keep your chin up! We're praying for you!

Outside.... how lovely for you, thought these 100 degree days aren't to pleasant to be outside. Molly. I'm sure it is so uncomfortable and painful for you to move,let alone sit. Somehow, some way, you will figure out a way to live your life, and I'm so praying, it will be a good life full of much happiness, good relationships, and an inner peace few ever find. Remember dear child, One Step At A Time.....
Molly, many wishes for a speedy recovery and remember - god has a plan for you !
So keep your chin up, your spirits high, and one day you'll spread your wings and touch the sky !!
May god bless you and your family !!!
I am happy that Molly got to go outside, the fresh air must have done her a little good! You all are a very strong family. Your prayers and everyone else's must be working. Be proud of Molly, she is a very strong and determined young lady! Good luck to all of you today and in the future days ahead!
Everyone who has heard Molly's story can have nothing but sympathy for her struggles and for what her family is going through. I believe those contributing to the fundraisers are doing it out of love and support for Molly and her family.
I fear that the misinformation, and lack of information, presented by the media and family have led many to find judgment in a case where few real details have been reported.
I do not wish to minimize any of the pain and suffering Molly has endured. However, I do feel that because of the way the accident has been reported by the media and blogs, that many have been led to believe the limo driver is somehow solely responsible.
Word is that the Blooms have admitted that Molly had recently begun drinking and smoking pot. Word is also that alcohol was found in the limo and that the group admitted to drinking the night of the accident. At the hospital, a tox screen was performed on Molly. The results have been sealed by the Bloom family and their attorney. The only conclusion that can be made for failing to make this public is that the results were not negative. If this proves to be the case, any fault found, at least in part, may be due to her own actions that night.
Sometimes, a tragedy can occur for no reason. Sometimes, tragedies occur when we make bad, regretful decisions. There is no doubt that this is a tragedy for all involved. But it serves no one to be mislead on the facts. I hope that all the facts can be released soon.
HOW DARE THE PREVIOUS POSTER BLAME AN INNOCENT VICTIM?????? THIS TRAGEDY DID NOT "OCCUR FOR NO REASON." IT OCCURRED BECAUSE THE DRIVER MADE A TERRIBLY NEGLIGENT ERROR!!
THE DRIVER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE HIS PASSENGERS ARE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER IS ABSOLUTELY SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR USING HIS MIRRORS TO INSURE THAT IT IS SAFE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE!!!!!
EVEN IF THE KIDS WERE DRINKING (OF WHICH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE AT THIS POINT), THAT IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY IRRELEVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY ASHAMED OF YOUR ANONYMOUS SELF - AS SHOULD THE DRIVER OF THAT LIMO! NO ONE BUT THE DRIVER SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR NEGLIGENT DRIVING.
PS - PLEASE STAY OFF THIS BLOG IN THE FUTURE. IT'S DESIGNED TO SUPPORT MOLLY'S FAMILY - NOT STIR UP HATE AND MISCONCEPTIONS.
To the anonymous poster above, I believe the family's purpose in this web page is to provide relatives, friends and supporters with updates on Molly's progress and to receive their sympathy and encouragement. It really is not ethical for you to turn it to your own purposes.

To the anonymous blogger...
I work with children and when they act out by gossiping, spreading rumors or shifting blame, we teach them about integrity and to think critically by asking "Are you using your words to help or to harm?" I would ask you the same thing.
On this blog, and in the hearts of the people who read it, the "WORD IS"... LOVE.
Mother Teresa said, "I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, only more love."
How dare that person hint that this entire situation is Molly's fault?! The limo driver was the one who did not follow protocol by not standing outside the door and making sure that all of the teens were safely inside the limo. Regardless of those tests at the hospital, it was the limo driver that did not look in his mirrors nor wait outside the door and then drove over an innocent girl. And those are the facts: HE MESSED UP.
I can't believe that person's nerve at trying to say that this is in someway Molly's fault. No wonder they didn't have the balls to post their name.
Anyway, it is so nice to hear that Molly was able to breath some fresh air. I am sure it did her a lot of good.
We love you Molly and hope for the best! Everyone that truly knows you is aware that the accident is in NO WAY your fault.
love, the capecelatros
Uh...,
If I chose to have a glass of wine, wouldn't I be more intelligent to hire a limo or a taxi to drive rather than drive myself ?
Duh..., Sounds like someone reaching very, very hard to rationalize away reality.
Rooting and praying for you Molly & Family!
With love,
Leigh
TO MR. HIDE-BEHIND-THAT-ANONYMOUS-THING:
Know this: The night of the incident (NOTE: NOT accident) Molly arrived at the emergency room conscious and coherent. She was able to give emergency room personnel her parent's phone number and names, she was talking to her friend/angel Jack from the time she was hurt until the ambulance arrived at the hospital and she even thanked the EMT's for their help as they were leaving. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE ANY PERSON UNDER THE INFLUENCE? I don't think so, and neither did the emergency room personnel. How do I know this? Because I spent Mother's Day sitting in the hospital ICU waiting room praying for Molly to live along with her parents, sister, grandmother, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, that's why.
On the other hand, good ol' Stanley: well, we're not even sure he bothered to step around to that side of the car to see what he had done to Molly, according to many of the other students there. He did, however, manage to call his boss and lie to him, didn't he?
You're representing a low life form here and hope you have enough sense to at least be embarrassed about it. Like you've been told before, STAY OFF THIS SITE. Nobody who visits here wants to hear his side of it. Apparently you have us confused with people who care about poor ol' Stanley.
Oh, by the way, I WILL sign my name.
Molly's Aunt Peggy and proud of it
I do not know Molly but I have a 16 year old son and I shed tears when I was reading just bits and pieces of this story. I feel very sorry for the individual that tried to put any part of this tragic accident back on her. The Limo driver should be standing outside the vehicle until he is sure that everyone was in the car and the doors were closed. Then when he is inside and ready to pull away he should check all the mirrors. Why are we even having this discussion?? This tragic horrible accident would never have happened if the limo driver knew how to drive. Molly, keep up the good work. We are praying for you..
To the anonymous sack of shit,
The word is, you spewing vicious rumors helps no-one. I've visited molly almost daily since the accident. The medical record wasn't sealed by the Bloom family or their lawyer, it was not released due to the fact that Molly is a minor, and their are PRIVACY law. I don't need a copy of your medical record to know that you have n spine. There are about 20 people who know EXACTLY what happened, because they were there the whole night. You weren't.
