Posted by shelley on 10/19/2005, 12:29 pm, in reply to "when is enough, enough????" --Previous Message-- Hi Melonie I have the same problem and unfortunately i dont know the answer. My 10 year old son has had 3 unsucessful pharyngoplasty operations and also had his ears pinned back, the surgeon is saying now that there is another operation they could try. I am not sure whether to put him through yet another operation. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but i will say i know exactly how you feel. Shelley
