I received this update from the nurse that helps my dear friend fifirose1. Please send her a hug or keep her in your prayers. She is an older member of DS and is bedridden. Thanks for taking the time to read my journal about my dear friend. Love and Hugs, Debbie

Hello ,
I needed permission to update about the tragic situation and I am limited as to what I can tell you .
Fran (fifirose) had been raped in her own home and bed. This man is an animal. He was caught by her smart tactics of 911. She was really brave but doesn’t realize it yet.
She is all swollen, lost a lot of blood, her entire body has been affected by the rape. He was very rough with her. All her conditions are extra sensitive.
Since the rape, she has been traumatized and in shock all of this time since about her last ‘story entry’. The story of course is on hold.
She has been holding princess picture and barely talks. It is so heartbreaking.
She has been of course diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the rape. A therapist has been coming to talk to her telling her it was not her fault, and that she did all the right things. We had to go at her pace.
Fran has bed sores now too on her spine which is very painful. The rape has affected her badly both physically and emotionally. She is afraid, confused ,and depressed.
Since Monday though, she has been showing signs of wanting to talk and pointing to the computer. She wanted me to tell you what happened. She also said she loves all of you and misses you..
This is her first step in wanting to talk and I want to take advantage of it. She needs support very much and needs to feel loved. This is a big step for her. She has been suffering so much in silence for about 2 months.
All of you have been so kind to her. She needs your prays, hugs, and support.
Can you please help me to tell her friends about what happened. and of her wanting to come back. She needs to feel loved. Please encourage her to talk even about other issues to get her started to write. This is a big step for her.
She needs all the prays, hugs and support more than ever. I will leave the computer by her now.
Thank you.
Yes I will truely pray for your dear friend. HUgs Gloria
