Made it through the night

By

First night off the circuit went well. No major updates which is a good thing. His heart made it through the night without major assistance, so that's great! They will probably start weaning him off the heart meds. We will see. Thanks for your prayers and love.

Heidi,
Aunt Heater, Scott and I are having a great day - just got back from "The Jungle" and Scott had lots of fun in the ball pit, tunnel maze and kiddie rides.
Thrilled to hear Tyler's great update.
Love, Mom

Last night after Sunday dinner we all sat down and read your more recent blog postings. The ordeals that you are going through are amazing, but even more amazing is your continued positive attitude and gratitude for the experiences that you are having and for the strength that Tyler has brought into you family. Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with you. -- Ron

My mom is in town from Utah. She spent the night at the hospital last night and has been holding Tyler quite a bit. He really enjoys being held, so he's less fussy and has responded well to the weaning of the oxygen. He's on regular air, but I guess it's still the high-flow to keep his lungs inflated. He's up to 9 cc's of food per hour, an improvement over yesterday's 2 cc's. The picture is of Betty and Bob Maddox (Heather's in-laws), Jacquie Lietz (Heidi's mom), Heather Maddox (Heidi's sister), and Walt Lietz, Heidi's dad. They did a 5K walk to raise money for the American Heart Association. Thanks to all who donated on behalf of Heather and Tyler!

Periacetabular Osteotomy "Hip" Surgery

Ok, should we just rename our blog the McMillan Pediatrics Medical Journal? Everyone has issues. Our family is congenital medical disorders. Tylers heart, Carls brain and Dannys Hips. Danny had hip discomfort growing up, visited the doc at 17 and was dismissed with "bad hips." He learned to make the best of his hips by monitoring his activity, walking slowly, making me wear hiking packs and taking breaks. After experiencing back pain this year he went to a doctor who took one look at his x-ray and sent him to orthopedics who sent him to a surgeon. We are blessed with a great friend who is amazing hip surgeon and chief of orthopedics AKA John Kronick who guided us in our decision. Our family is always taken care of in miraculous ways. Here are his hips: The Problem: acetabular (hip) dysplasia is a congenital disorder usually formed by age 3. His acetabular is more dish shaped instead of cup shaped. A normal hip would surround the head of his femur. His X-ray shows signs of art
