Sunday, July 23, 2006

Today was another good day. Molly stood and worked on her balance for quite a while. We took her outside to the courtyard and spent about 30 minutes in the summer air. Molly had quite a few visitors today, including Cecily from Phoebe Hair Apparent. She is the stylist who did Molly's hair for the prom and she came today to give Molly a cut. Cecily, you are tremendous, generous, and wonderful. If anyone is looking for a stylist, call her!! She did a great job on Molly. Thank you so much
At some point next week, Molly may be moved onto a different bed that hopefully will allow her to get up on her own after some practice and time. Right now, she has to be helped off this bed. When she is able to get up herself, she will start to rapidly improve. Go, baby, go!
Katy, I love tht you come to see Molly often. It helps her moods and confidence.
Good night princesses. We love you to pieces.

Wow, the first comment! We just got back from Family Night at Skyline to see our girls in their synchronized swimming show. At the end, a couple of the lifeguards donned their silly outfits and their "Molly" caps from the swimathon, and proceeded to regale us with their "synchro routine". I think we all took pause and thought about Molly in the midst of the lightheartedness.
You are in our thoughts so often, a part of our lives always.
Goodnight and sleep tight-Good days ahead Molly.

Something to keep in mind for the future:

It would probably be a good in between the walker and a prothesis. Or a good alternative if the prothesis wouldn't work out.

Stay strong Molly!

Dear Molly
I've been following progress with interest, because it chimes with something I'm writing at the moment.
Life imitates art!
However many visitors etc you have, while you're in there, you're a patient, and your injuries are the focus of everyone's life. Just get out of there as soon as you can, and start to be Molly, but in a revised shape. I say this with love and admiration.
Very best wishes to you and yours

Although I do not know Molly, I have been following her story and am so moved by her courage and strength through this tragedy.

I also wanted to volunteer my services and profit from my company. I am a Mary Kay Director-in-Qualification and really enjoy participating in and giving to various charities and people in need. If you are interested, I can send fliers or you can forward on the email as to the following:

Purchase any products on www.marykay.com/erinrenee and I'll donate ALL my profit (50% of each sale) to this fund (just put "Molly Bloom" in the comments section). Free delivery, and email me to try before you buy!

I'll pray for her continued healing, and let me know if I can help in any way or if you need further info!

Sincerely,
Erin Skattum

Hello Bob, bernie, Katy, and Molly, When I read the posting on May 23rd, which is when I first heard of Molly's accident, I think of how far she has come in two months. I can't imagine where she will be in the next two months. May God continue to bless you Molly.
I have to tell you of my Grandparents. Both of them are getting along in years and can't remember things too well. They went to the doctor and he said to write things down. So last night they were watching T.V. when Grandpa got up to get a glass of water. Grandma asked him to please get her a bowl of ice cream. She told him to write it down. He said he didn't need to. She asked for chocolate sauce also and told him to write it down. He told her he could remember ice cream and chocolate sauce and went to get it. About a half an hour later he came back with a plate of bacon and eggs. Grandma looked at him and said, "I told you to write it down, you forgot the toast."
Stay strong and stay cool,
Denver Bob

You are right about the getting out of bed herself thing!

It's little stuff like that that registers as progress. When there's progress, you'll work harder and make more progress.

Mrs. Bloom,
Thank you for having the strength to post Molly's progress every night for all of the world to read. Molly has somehow become "Our" little darling. We are all praying for your little darling.

Your continued postings have helped me focus on what's most important in life...family, friends, life. Never again will I have a bad hair day, look fat in those jeans, hate my job, get angry because of traffic, wish I was younger, richer, or prettier...

Life is a blessing, and I am grateful.

Thank you,
Michelle


Denver Bob,
I'll say it again, laughter is the best medicine...keep them coming.
