Sunday Noon Update
GREAT NEWS! Molly was transitioned off the oscilator (specialized ventilator) to a traditional ventilator. This is a huge step forward. Her vital signs and other indicators are stable and she continues to show progress overall. The next steps will be to slowly (VERY SLOWLY) ween her off the vent and slowly (VERY SLOWLY) ween her off much of the medications. The still sedate her daily as they provide wound care and debreedment on her legs. Outside of this the sedation will be removed during the rest of the day, so we should start to see signs of her waking up. Pain medication will remain constant as her arms and legs are quite painful due to the incisions and degraded condition of her skin.
We still have a long road ahead of us (months not weeks) to get her home and functioning normal again, but gettting her on the traditional vent is a great sign that things are going the right way and that we may (I stress MAY) have turned the corner with her. Please continue the prayers! We feel each and everyone one of them and they truly help. It is so comforting to know that there are so many people praying for Molly and all of us. Keep them up!
Specific Areas for Prayer:
Her legs & feet for complete recovery and pain control
Her Thumb and Index finger on her left hand
Kidney & Liver function
Skin condition
Lungs to continue to clear of pnemonia
God Bless each and everyone of you. Continue praying and posting comments.

CJ and I have just learned about Molly's condition, and we apologize for not reaching out to you sooner. We had no way of knowing how to get a hold of you, and we are now so thankful that you have set up this blog.
We can not believe how sick Molly has been, and we just wanted you to know that we are sending you all of the positive energy that we can muster. You sound as though you have been completely amazing Jamey...keep up your incredible strength. Molly will pull through this we just know it, she has an amazing spirit.
Peace to you!

Molly and Jamey,
That Braven is one silly dog. We had her outside in the snow today and tried to build a snowman. Every time we would roll a ball of snow Braven would hit and knock it down. We would throw a snowball up in the air and she would chase it.I will let you know this Jeff Gordon finished 5th today. So, that isn't bad at all.. I told him to do good for you today.. :-)
Walt and your dad ask for cookies so my mom baked them some .. I think that made them happy. I ordered those good apple dumplin's for your dad.. I will get them on Friday.. Just know I we miss and love you guys so much and we are praying that God keeps moving in your lives..
Love,
Michelle, Zachary , Dan and Sonja
Jamey and Molly,
Our family and church family have been keeping you both in our prayers. We are trusting that God will keep you covered in His wonderful love and strength. God is faithful and loves you so much!
With thoughts and prayers,
Terry, Darla, Jessica, Kim, Landon & Christian
LOTS of prayers continue to flow your way from our family!
I was over at school doing lesson plans for a sub because Kayleigh's sick and stopped by your house on the way back to give Zach a haircut. Michelle's doing a great job there...and your "kids" seem happy! What cute animals! Don't be worried about anything back here!
Glad to hear of the good progress!! Keep strong. We miss you terribly, Molly!
Love,
Karen Hill
Jamey and Molly,
Trent and I want you to know that we are thinking of you and praying for you. We are so excited that she is improving! Let us know if there is anything we can do here to help you.
God Bless,
Trent, Melinda, Garrett and Gabe
I am glad to hear that she is doing better! She is truly such a special woman who makes everybody around her feel so special! I was wondering if there was a different address (instead of the home address) to send cards? If you could send that information to me at reneeswallow@hotmail.com whenever you get a chance (I know you are busy!), that would be great! Again, Molly and all of her family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers! Give her a hug for me!
Jamey & Molly,
