Healthy Monday?
Monday, March 14th, 2005Last week I played the role of nurse for my sick wife and son. This weekend I was the patient. Saturday was a great day.

He died last night at 9:02 pm, after a valiant fight against a terminal disease. Most children with his condition don’t survive their first days, never mind a first Christmas. His parents Richard and Jessica [...]
Reggie White might have died from Sleep Apnea?!
Thursday, December 30th, 2004Reggie White, world class athlete, dies at the age of 43 of a massive heart attack which may have been induced by Sleep Apnea. [Story here.] This news struck a nerve with me because several years ago a close family member was diagnosed with the disorder. Providentially a friend who knew of his history of [...]
