Thanks Alan - you always come through with the goods

I've "inspected" Brodie's back side as all the reasearch I have done indicates that if the tiny dimple is still open and has fluid coming out or hair sprouting out of it that is a bigger concern.

Brodie's crack is closed and at the base it is also closed - nothing is leaking and it doesn't look odd at all - beside having that "Y" shape of skin it is completely normal.

He is pooing and weeing heaps and his legs and hips feel strong to me - rest assure this little man can push himself out of anything (he was half way up the cot the other afternoon :smt016 - cheeky monkey)

So having said all of that I am trying to keep a positive outlook and not think about it all too much

What I am interested in knowing, what is the treatment for this if something is found to be abnormal on the US?? and what are they exactly looking for on the US?? hmmm :-k

anyway - thanks for all your help and positivity - just praying that all is well [-o<
