Our Brave Little Tessa

Tessa had a bad fall on Monday night and suffered a pretty nasty injury involving her girly parts (to put it nicely). After spending a night with her screaming in pain, we went to see the doctor. He got a good look at her and thankfully said it didn't look like anything needed to be repaired. She is VERY swollen and has 2 cuts on two different parts of her tissue. We have her on some pain medication and some medication to help with her urinating. The main concern right now is her not urinating due to the pain and adding additional bladder issues to our already painful problem. She was very happy to see the doctor. She has never been to the doctor except for her well child check up's, so she thinks going to the doctor is fun. She refused to let me look at her injury, but insisted she would let the doctor. She was true to her word and let the doctor do a thorough examination. 
As of now, we are just keeping on top of her pain, trying to get her to pee as much as possible, and keep her resting. I have bribed her with lots of soda, so that makes her happy! Hopefully from all of this, she will learn that sitting on a chair on top of a table is not a good idea.
