sacral dimples/ neurology appt. tomorrow

February 15, 2005

Hello everyone!! I hope everyone had a great valentine's day.

Christian and I are both down with a nasty chest cold, so it wasn't

spectacular here. Anyway, tomorrow I am taking Christian to a

pediatric neurologist for an appt. Dr. H had suggested he be

examined b/c he has these sacral dimples and she suggested a possible

problem with the coccyx. I was wondering if anyone else's child has

this and has been examined. I'd like to be prepared for what I'm

dealing with. I hate to be blind-sided by information. I've been

trying to do some research on it today, but the information that I'm

finding is very vague. One site that I was looking at asked if there

was any change in bladder control. Well, Christian's been potty-

trained for 4-5 months and goes in his underwear at least once a

day. Usually twice. The other day he went poop in his underwear.

Now, my house isn't large so he is never far from a bathroom and when

he has gone in his underwear he hasn't even made an attempt to reach

the toilet. He just stands there and goes. Now it could be that

he's just still " learning " the feeling or it could be associated with

these dimples. But if anyone could share with me their experiences I

would be grateful.

On another note, Christian is now on the charts!!!! His growth

spurt is over and we're trying to get into the endo to start the

shots. Yippee!!! He weighs 30lbs. and is 36 in. tall. I'm so

happy.

Thank you,
