well next yr is going to be tubes in the ears again . the tubes are not working right now or have come out again. next yr is going to a little easier on samantha. we predict that she will have a couple of small surgeries next yr but most ones are allready done. sue

Our ENT put Sarah's tubes in her ears at the same time her stints were being put in her eyes. I was so happy not to have two separate surgeries.

well that is good that they did that for u !!! i hate to see too many operations for our children. my doctors for sam will not do that. time frame i belive it is the problems. one doctr likes all operations earlier in morning and the other likes late afternoon . sue

right now samantha's eyes are looking good. the left eye which we do have most of the trouble will is gooping up right now a little bit but over all not that bad. we just had a follow up check up for her eyes and tear ducts. we go back in 3 months to have the check up again and then in 3 more months . i think for every 3 months she will be checked out untill it is time to take the tubing out. samantha jo is now 5 yrs old and she will have to go back in 2 yrs for another sleep study. she still has sleep apena but it is very mild and she will not have to have another check up for 2 yrs on that part of her medical issues. right now we may not have the eyes rolling issues done until this summer rolls around. over all she is doing fantastic! sue

Ashlie has the tube surgery every 2 yrs. At least its a minor surgery but its still a surgery
Hopefully Samantha will get a break in 2006 from some of her medical issues.
