Dinner at La Costa

By
Pop joined us for valentines day dinner at La Costa in Brentwood.  



Tyler insisted on a taco and after he ate his burrito, we got him a taco without the spices.

Kira wanted her picture taken like this.  We got several boxes of clothes from the neighbors and there were lots of cute items in there.  Kira can pretty much dress herself but refuses help with her hair.  Well, she'll grow out of that in seventh or eighth grade.


When I pulled out my old powershot S400, I heard some teenagers make some comment about how no one uses cameras anymore.  Yeah, pretty much.  But these are still higher quality than their cell phone pictures, but not as good as Lavar's old film camera with the 50 mm lens.

I was whistling War, by the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (from the Hunger Games when Katniss is interviewed in front of the audience in the capitol), and Kira said, "That hurts my ears."

I said, "Well your screaming hurts mine."  She must have just been real tired.

Okay, bye.

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
