Hi- I saw your post on health central about your daughter's tethered spinal cord.  What kind of doctor did you see that found the issue.  My 6 month old girl has a long butt crack- can't think of a more descriptive way to explain it.  She had and ultrasound when she was one day old, and they said no worries, nothing internal was affected.  The pediatrician joked that the official diagnosis was "a dimple on her butt" and I'd never have to worry about her wearing low-rider jeans.   Still... I'm worried.  I've noticed that it's hairy in there, and just tonight the skin looks like it's breaking down a bit.  I've lost a bit of faith in my pediatrician, and I'm just not sure what sort of doctor to turn to next.   Thanks for any advice you can give!
