Judy...remember that dude who hangs around your house? (I do NOT mean the cats, dogs, and/or other domesticated creatures.) Does HE know about Rock Hinkle??? HMMMMM???
Rock...I should tell you that Judy's husband says that life with her has ALWAYS been "interesting"--just FYI. From my experience with her thus far, he is definitely right about that.
On the plus side, she sleeps with a ResMed. You know, those are the PRETTY, slinky (and sexy?) sleep machines. ;)

Dr. Park's response is a good one. The predisposition for apnea is an inherited characteristic. My mother had sleep apnea, and passed on the small air passageway to all three of her children. Although I was not diagnosed with apnea until I was in my 50's, I now know that I had probably had mild apnea back to teenage hood.
Dr. Sullivan's first CPAP machine was converted vacuum cleaner. Just a FYI.

I believe Dr. Park's comments represent the best scientific assumption currently. However, he did not say the predisposition for apnea is inherited.
