Ultrasound

Kaylea made her first trip to the hospital today, but at least it was scheduled. When she was born the doctor pointed out that she had what is called a sacral dimple. A sacral dimple is an indentation in the skin on the lower back. Most of the time (about 99% according to our doctor), sacral dimples are harmless and don't require any treatment. Rarely, a sacral dimple may indicate a serious underlying abnormality of the spine or spinal cord. I attempted to talk the ultrasound technician into telling us what she saw, but she could not be persuaded. She said they were very strict about that!
