Danny's dad took the boys to the Tilden Park Train to spend some time with them. They had a great time riding the train and throwing rocks into the lake. Thanks Grampy!!

Hi Heidi!
I have had you and the family on my mind for the last little while. I finally had a second to search the internet for your blog and got thoroughly updated. I can't believe Danny has his surgery behind him! What a relief. When I found out you guys were moving, I bought you some Jamon Serano and Manchengo Cheese from Costco as a going away treat. Obviously, it never made it to you. I somehow missed the whole move. Suddenly you were gone. I missed your mom at our quilt class as well. It was like a magical POOF and you were gone. So, although it is quite delayed, I finally wanted to let you guys know what your family has meant to me and how much I admire each one of the 5 of you. Is there any way to convince you to come back and buy our neighbors house??? :-) I hope you guys are doing well and we send you our hello's.

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
