This is Tabbys birthmark. We have been told it is a strawberry birthmark and they DO disappear almost completely by 5/10 years. The can however tether the spine causing leg weakness and other issues. Tabby is so strong on her legs that the consultant are not worried, but after 2 failed MRI's (they sedated her but she's a live wire and it didn't work!!) they want to completely knock her out for a scan to completely eliminate the possibility of a tethered spine. They wouldn't do anything about it if they did find something wrong so I think its pointless.
Aww sorry jess, I didn't even know about these type of birth marks
After 2 failed MRI's and if they are not even going to do anything if they do find a tethered spine, then it seems really pointless and like you I would decline anyone sedating my child if I had the choice. It is not fun, I go through it every time Mason under goes and operation.. its enough to make you feel sick!!!
I hope her appointment goes well hun, and do update! Does she just have the spot on her back? or does it extend to her legs and such too? Poor little gal, at least they go away on there own, just takes time!
