Nice, one of my twin girls is on lasix, but hopefully she won't be on it by 3 yr old. BTW, COngrats on the pregnancy. A boy or a girl? Anyways, I can relate to your anxiety on expenses. I had it last week for a couple of days, and phew good thing it was short lived. I do not like it, but like you said it helped me to understand people who are clinically depressed.

Heidi! i've been meaning to comment on your last two posts, but I'll just do it here. First of all, I'm so sorry about everything you've been dealing with! Oh my goodness, you guys have had so much on your plates. Please know that you have been in our prayers and will continue to be in our prayers, esp this week with Tyler going into surgery. I put your names in the temple today. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and he really will be able to have the surgery this time!
Also, it's totally understandable to see why you've been having anxiety lately. Who wouldn't? I don't know how you guys do it...you are such good examples in so many ways. And how awesome that you decided to write down what you are thankful for, and recognize the Lord's hand. I agree with you that you can understand people better and the things they have to deal with when you experience something like that yourself. I used to not be able to relate to people who would say, "I don't even want to get out of bed today," and then when I had such bad musculoskeletal problems doing dental hygiene, that was EXACTLY how I felt: "Please don't make me face this day." And it made me feel such compassion, like you said, for people who deal with that ALL the time. I hope you know how much we love you and are so glad you are a part of our family!

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
