March birthdays and track and field

By

 Grammy sent treats for St. Patrick's day

 Kira turned 9 on Wednesday.  She was pleased with her gifts, especially her socks.  She got her ears pierced.

 Blake turned 7 on Thursday and got the iPad repaired for his birthday.

 Parker turned 4 on Thursday and got some squirt guns and was happy.  Er, maybe not.  But this is how he wanted the camera to capture him.

 Kira has really been tearing it up at track and field. 


 This meet was at Ygnacio Valley High.  She did well at the long jump.


Kira took 1st in the 100 meter dash.  I don't know what her time was but it was fast enough.



Mister's still working on his natural smile
 Hanna is as cute as ever

Dual thumb suckers, and lots of times, Parker puts one finger up his nose.


This photo is blurry but a bad photo is better than no photo and this one shows Kira's muscle tone.  Look at that arm definition.  She had just run the 200 and was tired for another 200 relay portion of the medley relay.
Scott was doing track but has some kind of bone disease called Severs disease and is in too much pain to run now.  I can appreciate that because I had stupid Osgoodschlatters disease and my knees got all jacked up.  Also my hips.  Also my feet.  Oh well. 

Okay, bye.

March is definitely a busy month for you guys! And Kira...Holy cow! Her arm definition is incredible! She has always had such a muscular little body. That’s awesome she loves track and field. That is such a bummer about Scott. I’m going to have to look up severs disease. When did he get diagnosed with that?

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
