A sacral dimple or pilonidal dimple is a small hole located just above the buttocks. The name comes from the sacrum, the bone at the end of the spine, over which the dimples are found. More than 2% of babies may have such dimples; almost all of these are very minor.
grays doctors concern is that these dimples can be open, which can cause infection or that it is a sign of spinal tethering. the tech said that the spinal cord didn't seem to be an issue (BIG sigh) but that there was a possibility of thehole being open..so now we wait to hear from the doctor....i hate the waiting game!!!
i was so proud of gray and how brave she was! she was a great patient and laid still while the tech preformed the ultrasound, and trust me if you know this girl you know she is rarely still when awake! ;)
ill keep you all updated, fingers crossed and lots of prayers that there wont be anything to report!
