Scott's baptism weekend

By
Scott was baptized on March 1st at the stake center in Antioch.

Grammy and Grampy came 


Pop came too

The boys caught a frog in the golf course and made a little ecosystem with the lizard's terrarium.


Dad's not totally stoked about how Kira rubs his ear.  

Grammy and Grampy got Scott some scriptures

Blakey wants cookies before breakfast.

For cub scouts, Scott wanted to make some bean bags.  I showed him how to use the sewing machine and he was working for quite a while.  I got the boys into making fancy patterns with the embroidery tool and now we're going to get Scott into quilting.  I mean, heifer, if he's into sewing, we're going to encourage him.  Better that than being on the computer all the time.



He was showing Tyler how to scroll through the menus.

How cool that Scott was baptized. Does it seem weird that he's already 8?! I think it's awesome to teach them to sew, too. No shame, for sure!! Pride, only. You're an awesome dad.

Congrats on Scott's baptism. What a special day! And hey, you can tell Scott that sewing is manly because it's a machine! That's what Adam says. Keep encouraging him, maybe he can sew his prom date's dress like Adam did!

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
