My son died December,2006 he had sleep apnea I didn't relize this could kill.He had been tested for it and hadn't got his mask,they were working on getting him one.I have since learned alot about this.He was only 40 years old.I tell every one about this and how it can kill.I know people who us the mask,one of my closest friends son has this and has a mask.If you have apnea and use a mask don't lay down without putting it on.A young man in our town died last year because he layed down for a nap and didn't use his mask.My son wa the light in our family.Even though i have two more sons and a daughter a part of me will never be the same.So for the sake of all who have lost loved ones let's get the word out apnea can kill.
