I LOVE HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD!!!
.
The unexpected things that they SAY and DO
can fill your heart and soul with unexplained
JOY, LOVE and LAUGHTER
.
We went to the cemetery and mortuary today and of course Scott wanted to know why. We briefly had the great opportunity to explain that the baby in mommy's tummy is now with Jesus. When I came home I was working on a scrapbook for Baby Roman and Scott and I had this precious conversation,
.
"Scott, who is this for?"
"Baby Roman."
"Where is Baby Roman?"
"In Heather's tummy."
Where's mommy's baby?"
"He is with Jesus."

That brought tears to my eyes. I feel so blessed to have Scott and Tyler as Roman's cousins and I'm sure they will show him all the ropes and teach him all the ways.

I love you guys so much! I can't wait to see the scrapbook.

I can't stop thinking about you and baby Carl Lavar. I am so glad Scott understands where he is and that he's at peace. What a joy to have a 2-year-old!

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
