Happy Fathers Day!!

By
I feel soo blessed on Fathers Day. My boys couldn't possibly have a better father and that makes me fell like the luckiest person in the world. Scott, Tyler and I know Carl look at their father with the utmost love, respect and admiration. He is a man who teaches them to have fun, learn, fix things and fill your heart with love towards others and the Lord. He is an example in all his actions and words. I have never once heard him yell. He is always so calm, so loving and such a loving dad.
My dad. Anyone who knows my dad knows that he is saint. He has always placed his family first and truly lives a life of selflessness. I don't just say this because he is my dad. Anyone who knows him would agree this. My boys love their Pop. He adores them, takes care of them and makes it possible for me to coach. They couldn't be in better or more spoiled hands when we are working. Thanks dad, I love you!
Grampy, Danny's dad, is another amazing father figure in our lives. Danny is very similar to his dad with having a love and skill of fixing things. I have a feeling Danny and his dad were fixing teeth and cars together before coming to this life. He worked so hard for his family. We just returned from Disneyland with all the grandkids which I am sure was quite exhausting. Just one reason for super Grampy award. We love you Glen!

You do have lots of good men in your life, don't you? Danny is quite the dad. He's the only guy I've ever heard say, "The real work starts when I get home!" What a good attitude and blessing for your children! Happy Father's Day!

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
