Scott loved this guy. He wanted to feed, pet and hug him.

cheating at horse-shoes.
Eating some lunch.
Look at me drive!!
Cutest baby around.
Cow doesnt want us to leave.

This is a park in Walnut Creek that is always so beautiful, peaceful, empty and has tame animals that Scott loves to pet. Danny tried to lasso a wooden bull (he needs some practice) and Scott was a great horse-shoes player even though he cheated a bit. A fun day with the fam!

I miss the green hills of the East Bay- so pretty! We've got at least another month before things start to green up around here:(

Love the pic of Scott and the goat. Maybe you guys can buy some goats as pets too. One day, you will have a blast telling him how you used to have a goat named Carry that we used to walk on leashes.

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!

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
