Are you serious?

By
The other day I asked Tyler to brush his teeth.  I hear his sonicare power up for no more than ten seconds, so I said, "That wasn't two minutes!  You gotta brush two minutes!"

I hear his toothbrush power up again.  Then I walk past the bathroom and see it, running on the counter, while he stands aside.

"Are you serious?"  I said.  He gave a guilty look and then I had to brush him.  Okay, I gotta go.  Bye.

brush him with a toothbrush or a hairbrush? ha
I remember when I was about his age and got away without brushing my teeth upstairs... Wet it and run. Horrors only a dentist understands ;)

We have the kids sonicaire for my girls. My four year old brushes for 5 seconds and then hums the tune that it makes before it turns off and shuts off. Amazingly she is astounded that I catch her almost every time.

Ha! That is hilarious. Good old Tyler. It's funny to see what kids come up with. One day I asked turin to fold his laundry and after he said it was done, I saw that he'd put it back in his laundry basket and then covered up the clean clothes with dirty ones.

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!

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
