Danny is now working in Antioch/Brentwood

By

Danny has been working in Antioch/Brentwood for the past 3 months and loving it. It is quite exciting that he LOVES going to work. He always talked about his great staff, Dr. Wu's ethics and skills, and how busy he is staying. I was just relieved that he found a place where he feels the staff is on top of things and ethical(which surprisingly has been few and far between). Anyway, I have been to most of his offices since I have horrible teeth filled with cavities (I blame it on getting my dad's genes and pregnancy). Thank goodness I married a dentist. I was so impressed with the office that I had to write about it. It was the nicest, most modern office I have ever been to. His staff was friendly and the place ran so smoothly. These past two years have been very interesting and educational for Danny. He has had the opportunity to work under different doctors and has seen the good and the bad of dentistry which has been an invaluable experience. We both feel so fortunate that he has settled into Dr. Cademartori's in Walnut Creek and Dr. Wu's in Antioch who are both great mentors and clinicians in Danny's opinion. Danny has been in positions before where he feels the dentist aren't 100% ethical and he was always been quick to move on without having something else lined up. While this caused stress at times in my life, I admire him for the man that he is and dentist that he aspires to become. These experiences have increased my faith in knowing that as we choose the right something better always comes up.

How cool is that! I, too, have an awful dentistry history! I definitely inherited my bad teeth from my dad. Good to hear you're doing well!

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
