Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2004Please--Prayers for My Niece
Folks, I just found out that last night my niece and her friend were attacked as they were walking to Ashley's car after dinner. They are for the most part physically all right...battered, bruised, scratched, etc.. Emotionally they are both in shock. Ashley's own focus is the fact that their screams for help went unheeded...only when she was able to set off the alarm on a nearby car did someone come out to see what was going on and then called the police. The two men got away... Both girls are small (5'3") but strong from years of gymnastics and aerobics...the police feel that is what saved them. They were not in a "bad" part of town, had not flirted with anyone, and these men were not in the restaurant...they jumped out of the bushes already erect and beat the hell out of them while trying to rape them... Please--would you keep them in your prayers, thoughts, anything that will help them begin to heal? donnah >Please--would you keep them in your prayers, thoughts, anything that >will help them begin to heal? > >donnah You bet! That is ssooo scary. I can not imagine. Rose @}>-->>> Please remove "Ima" to reply privately! >>Please--would you keep them in your prayers, thoughts, anything that >>will help them begin to heal?

Donnah, how terrible for the girls--the attack and then that no one paid attention to their screams. I'm glad they were hurt no worse, but the emotional side of it is going to be so hard on them. Will certainly pry for them.

Donnah, how horrible. One reads about these things or sees it on TV but it has so much more impact when it happens to someone you know. Although I do not know you, I see you on this list and feel somehow that I do. The girls will need help to get through this, hopefully they will have a knowledgeable person to do this. --- Joan thank you and they were met by a rape counselor at the hospital... one thing I can't figure out is that they scraped the skin, etc. from under their fingernails...they both did their own share of scratching so had blood and skin debris under their nails. My sister said this morning that they were up most of the night with Ashley until she agreed to take the sedative given to her at the ER.... donnah > >Please--would you keep them in your prayers, thoughts, anything that > >will help them begin to heal?

See my previous reply, but I'll add that blood type, race, and other characteristics that can narrow the search can also be attained from these samples. > My sister said this morning that they were up most of the night with > Ashley until she agreed to take the sedative given to her at the > ER.... > > donnah I hope she will continue to see the counselor. It is essential. They will continue to be in my prayers. Walt >> thank you and they were met by a rape counselor at the hospital... Make sure they keep going as needed. A friend of mine was raped and left for dead by a man that had raped and killed several area girls, including another friend. The guy turned out to be someone we all knew and I wouldn't have hesitated at the time to get in a car with him. Anyways, he was convicted and is on death row beacuse of her testimony. She managed to put it all behind her is now a mommy and orthopedic surgeon. So your neice can recover and move on with the right help. ~KJ Akron, Ohio http://arthritisinsight.com Knowledge is power...support is essential. Tina's Togs Quality Plus Size and Vintage Fashions http://www.stores.ebay.com/tinastogs KJ, thank you for sharing that with me. Ashley seems to be more focused right now on why their screams were ignored but a car alarm brought help...but that may be her way of channeling her anger and the tons of things she is feeling right now. and the rest of the family is wondering the same thing. donnah > >> thank you and they were met by a rape counselor at the hospital... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Tina's Togs Quality Plus Size and Vintage Fashions > http://www.stores.ebay.com/tinastogs thanks, Walt...

May the girls both have a speedy recovery. Sending my prayers. Dana How terrible for these young girls...It is such a horrible feeling for all of you. My daughter was a taxi driver. She was robbed a few times, but about two months ago, she was beat pretty badly and knocked out. The thieves then took alot of parts from her car and all the money she had. So I know what a sick feeling you have in the pit of your stomach... My prayers to you all. Hugs Cindy Oh Cindy, I'm so sorry about your daughter's very serious attack. How is she doing now?

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > donnah Hi Donnah, I missed the original post, but just saw this one. I am so sorry to hear this! And no, they didn't do anything wrong, and I hope people tell them that. So often, people think that the victims must have done something to provoke the attack, and that is totally unfounded. Those guys were obviously waiting for someone to walk by. I am sorry that they got away, but perhaps the police will be able to find them. I will pray for your niece and her friend and I do hope they will consider speaking to a counselor. I will also pray that the police find those men before they attack again. Hugs, Carole > How awful.

I'm experiencing the same thing you are. I had another interview yesterday. In the middle of it, we had this horrendous storm with lightning, thunder, insane winds, and heavy rain! It was rather distracting, but the interview went well. I was there for a little over an hour and a half. They will make a decision by May 15th. So now it's the sit and wait thing again :) I still haven't heard from the other job. I do hope they send out a letter even if it's a nay because at least then you know where you stand. I have so many people praying that I'm sure by now God must be getting tired of it all and will tell one of these schools to give me a job just to shut everyone up :) (I firmly believe that God has a wonderful sense of humor :) On another note, I found a wonderful church out here. I started going there a couple of weeks ago, and it's alive and they have a contemporary choir that's amazing. I'm thinking about joining :) I'll keep you all posted, don't worry :) Carole > thanks, Carole... > and what is happening with you? I am not getting a lot of posts--well, > some days I get almost 50, others maybe 23...sigh, the joys of > computers! > donnah thanks for the update, Carole... and prayers are continuing--and, we always make the same joke about God getting tired of so many praying for the same thing that He "gives in" <grin!> donnah > Hi Donnah, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > computers! > > donnah Carole, Wishing you the best of luck with your interview and that you get the job. I know God does have a wonderful sense of humor. I was saying I needed a vacation. I did not specify, I found out you have to specify if you say you want something. I ended up with my vacation, flat on my back for a month. My back went out so bad. I had to have my one son crawl in bed and hold my back, (this is with a back brace on) just so I could get out of bed to go potty. I could not even get out of bed without someone supporting my back. So I learned quick, if I ever want a vacation, I will specify what kind of vacation I want and where. ;-) I am glad you found a wonderful church. That is great. Hugs and getting job hugs coming to you. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > Hi Donnah, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > computers! > > donnah Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your back! I pulled something in my back once and I never want to do that again. I couldn't move for almost a week. I do hope you are doing better now. And next time you want a vacation, specify: Hi God, I want a week on a tropical island, with Chippendales to pour suntan oil on my back and bring me pina coladas in coconut shells with a straw :) Now THAT'S a vacation :)))))) I'll keep you posted on the job search. My friend in NY swears that I'm going to get both jobs and then have to make a decision :-)) I should be so lucky! Carole :) > Carole, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Hugs and getting job hugs coming to you. Carole, I hope that does happen that you get both jobs.

And even though they defended themselves and were ultimately 'rescued', they should get in contact with the rape crisis people. A lot of attempted rape victims don't, feeling that since they weren't actually raped, they either don't need it or aren't entitled to it. But the post traumatic effects can last for a long time, and the people at the rape crisis number have the training that is most relevant here. SignatureAdelle D.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > donnah Oh This is terrible Donnah, I will be holding them up in prayers. This is so scary and something now that has scarred them and they will live with fear for along time now. I feel for them so much. Tell them my heart goes out to them. I know the feeling. I have been molested and then later in teens years came close to a rape myself. It would be good if they got counseling for it to help them thru the rough spots. Sending love and hugs.
