de la Salle invitational

By

Scott had his de la Salle invitational meet.  He swam for Northgate.  Some of his Aquabear teammates swam for different schools.  




200 free in 1:43.xx


Strong man getting psyched for the race







Andrew is in the center.  I liked this picture because I got a bonus grimace from Scott.  Must have been cheering on his relay.  


Tom was Heidi's Aquabears and Northgate coach when Heidi was young.  He claims that he quit because she gave him attitude.  


The 400 free relay came down to Northgate vs. de la Salle.  


Scott's split was okay.  Not his best time.  He was against Zach, who had a better split.



The last leg came down to Andrew vs. Tommy.  Everyone was screaming because it was so close.  Andrew got majorly dragged on by his club friend Tommy and they overtook Andrew.  Tommy went a 44.5 and Andrew a 45.5 but Andrew overtook him and their relay won by four hundredths.  This is the shot of everyone looking at the scoreboard.  

 

But wait!  De la Salle got disqualified for a false start!   Some were arguing that the blocks registered 0.0 even though the officials and coaches saw a false start.  Because of the false start, Northgate won that relay.  de la Salle still won the meet by 24 points.  It will be fun at Northcoast.  Heidi liked seeing all of her friends from the various teams she's coached.  I liked using my big camera.  I shoot Scott's friends and Scott texts them the pictures.  For North Coast Sectionals I'm going to get a little badge with Nitroblue Photography Services and an orange vest and be a "pro" photographer.  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
