New Years

By

Had a nice new years break.  It was super cold but at least it wasn't raining, which was nice, since it had been raining almost constantly for the past two weeks.  The kids are watching Dana's dogs and would take them up into the hills each day.  On Saturday Scott and I rode our bikes while the rest of the family walked.  I like my bike but the hill was too steep for me to ride.  It was a good workout though.

Amazing that the iphone can shoot right into the sun and still get decent exposure.


Mister is happy with his new hoodie and new switch controller


The kids got facial masks and had to sit still for several minutes.  They can't go more than two minutes without a screen.  



Heidi finally finished her puzzle!  Each of us worked on it a bit but she sat uninterrupted on New Years for about four hours working on it.  She kept calling Luke "Anakin."  


Happy new year!  I hope we can go to church without masks this year.  Currently in the USA we're at 55M known covid cases and 824k deaths.  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
