My 4 year olds spine is "sunken" right in middle. 11 vertebrae down they disappear a pinky length. ped. said just keep an eye. healthy otherwise. ?

Sacral dimple: This is a common finding at the base of the spine. Rarely there is a deep pit that doesn't seem to end. If the skin is intact at the bottom it is just a curiosity. If the kid is up running around like most 4 year olds i would concur with your ped and just monitor the issue.
