Mollie, I've been thinking of you and you are in my prayers. Hopefully you will move out of ICU today or very soon, be patient, it does take a while for the swelling to decrease and the sutures to take hold! In the mean time try to walk as often as you can and chose the chair instead of the bed. Stay on top of your pain, but not so much that you can't think straight!! It sounds like you have a great support system! God Bless

Dear Molie & Jim,

You all have been on our hearts and in our prayers all week long. I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this struggle but I do whole-heartedly believe that our Loving Father is in control and that He is not surprised by this situation. I have been praying that the Lord will use this struggle as a way to strengthen your reliance on Him and to have an even stronger marriage. Once you get passed this difficult post-op time, your sweet precious family will have a deeper bond. My favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11 He has a plan for you to prosper and not to harm you. Paul and I will continue to pray for your healing.
Much love,
Stacy & Paul Previte

Thank You JIM for loving Mollie and taking care of her!!!
Your a GOOD man and husband!!!

Toby, Rachel, Le'la, Tatum & Baylee

Mollie , Jim and girls...It was such a blessing to me to be with all the family in the waiting room during Mollie's surgery. All of our love for you, Mollie, drew us together into a tight knit group as we waited, remembering the fun times
growing up and then the blessed time we had praising our Lord in prayer as each one of us shared our hearts desire for His devine guidance and care for you as your Dad closed our prayter time .We serve a mighty Savior and praise him that our family can lift each other up in prayer. Thank you God that we love and care for each other. Love you, Aunt Winkie

Jim, sounds like now it is time for you to take care of you for a moment. Rest and eat. Mollie will need you whole and healthy. She is blessed to have you!

Hi Mollie! - and Jim! I am so happy (although I'm boo-hooing my eyes out at this moment) that the surgery went so well. I will continue to pray for a speedy recovery. What a blessing it's been to read about your progress and your tremendous faith! You guys are a sweet pair.

Jim,
Honestly the worst part of the whole recovery process , the oxygen ! It was so frustrating getting tangled up in all the cords when you tried to turn over or get up. I had a nurse ratchet that came in at midnight every night and got mad at me because I didn't have it on! I didn't say thank you, to him when I went home. I'm praying for her. I know she'll be just fine.

Erin Noskin

Mollie - So happy to hear of your awesome progress, you are one tough cookie! I pray God's grace over you, and your beautiful family. Jim, thank you for the updates.

~Delicia

Such wonderful news!!!! Mollie, you have made great progress.....Jim, you are a trooper.....don't forget to take care of u!!! We love you.....Luanne and Billie....mom said to tell Mollie that she never let go of her hand!!!

Hi Molly, So glad that you are on the mend. Please take time for yourself and be sure to go to cardiac rehab. I had my aortic valve replaced 3 years ago at age 66 and I am doing fine. Just a hint, get a body pillow so you can hug it as it makes sleeping better. Also get your nails and feet and hair done as it will make you feel better. Know that our prayers are with you. Marlane

Mollie,

I was so touched to receive your husband's e-mail about your surgery. It has been a blessing to be able to pray for you! I loved when he said, "if you know Mollie, you know she has a heart as big as Texas". What a perfect description of you! Your journal entries (and your husband's) are so encouraging and it is wonderful to hear the great love you have for each other and our Lord. I know it must feel so good to have the surgery behind you and I will be praying for your speedy recovery. God is our Sustainer and I know He will take care of you during your recovery. You are an amazing woman, wife, mother and Christ follower and I am so thankful to know you!

Love, Kim McDonald

Hi Molly - You have a long road ahead. But the ride is amazing. You keep trudging forward and you will be amazed how it is all worth it, Praying for a fast recovery and no pain :)

Dear Mollie (and nurse Ratched) You look incredibly good. Thanks so much for the updates, Jim. I get my tissue ready each time I open one! So happy this surgery is behind you and that it went so well. Jim a/k/a/ Nurse Ratched, back off the lunch trays and keep up the support. You're amazing. Bandit is doing good. He played Keno with the girls last nite. He had fun. Love and Hugs, Judy

Stay strong, Mollie! I went through this in February at the age of 41. Recovery was rough at first, but got better very quickly. Only 6 months later I can hardly believe how much better I feel. It is all frightening and surreal, but I am so glad to now be spending my days with my 5 year old and my husband. There is a great life after recovery! Please know that you are not alone and that we are all thinking of you.

Jim,
Sounds like Mollie is progressing as expected! All wonderful things! From my experience with Kyle and myself the first time up is the most difficult! It should get better each time. Pain control is so important. Sounds like Mollie is not afraid to ask for pain meds, good! I hope that you are trying to get some rest yourself! Hope all continues to progress as it has! Praying for Mollie's continued speedy recovery! Love you guys, Emily and the Gang

Molly and Jim,

Bill's kept my in the loop and you've all been in my thoughts and prayers. Believed you'd come out of this healthier than ever. You've made the recovery period - now for the marathon! Love you, Linda Eakman

She is just coming along like a champ!!! What a wonderful update!! I know you must be so tired Jim. Get some rest yourself!! many prayers going up for Mollie, you and girls and family!!

hoorah for all the good news......I dropped my phone in the Atlantic Ocean off of the fishing pier.....could not wait to find a computer to find out how great she is moving along.......Molllie is a true rockstar and now she has a healthy even sweeter heart! Thanks slim Jim for all the updates!

Sitting up for breakfast....incredible. Praying for your continued recovery.
Jenny

Praising God today for the testimony your family's life is living! for the answered prayer and for continued comfort and healing.

Dear Mollie, so thankful for the amazing recovery you are beginning now!!! God is with every wonderful breath you take! Your dear husband is keeping us updated on your progress and how you are a nurse's dream patient! Praying for you dear girl and Gods healing hands over each detail in this journey! I love you!
