My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

Nurses Safety

Published

I currently have a 9 year old girl I am taking care of on unit. She was raped resulting in surgical repair to entire pelvic floor and also needed a colostomy. As I change her sheets and such I just don't know what to do. I cry everytime I walk in there. I just want to hold her. She isn't allowed visitors and she is so scared. My heart is breaking. Any advice?

Hello everyone, thought I should give everyone who has followed this thread a wonderful update. As of November 23 I am officially her Mother. The adoption went smoothly. We couldn't possibly be happier., I feel like the most blessed person in the world. She has adapted wonderfully. She is an absolute treasure. Of course she will continue with therapy for a long time, but she is such a strong little trooper. She is my hero. It has been almost a year since I became her foster mother hard to believe how far she has come in such a short time. Thanks to all who have offered their support through so much of our journey. Have a wonderful holiday season and new year.
