Sharon,

Tell Logan that he is a great asset to the field of Sleep Disordered Breathing to make the effort to get the word out to so many.
He may or may not decide to study medicine in the future, but he is knowledgeable about the subject of Sleep Apnea and probably will not hesitate to share this understanding with others.
He may very well save lives, but he will certainly help people live healthier lives when they get diagnosed early. As you know the earlier the diagnosis, the less damage has been done to the body.

Way to Go LOGAN. You are my Hero of the Week. This is National Sleep Awareness Week. The National Sleep Foundation has quizes and prizes and all kinds of activities going on this week.

Sharon,

Pass along my congratulations to Logan, too! That's wonderful. Public speaking is a skill that will take him anywhere he wants to go. Kudos to you, too, for being the topic!

Take Care,

Congratulations Sharon. My son is 12 and still a little freaked out by my apena diagnosis, but he is starting to come around and ask questions. I hope that some day he is as well educated as your son that he also feels confident enough to educate others about our condition.

Sharon,

Priceless! What a great kid and story! Congrats from me too!

I am sure he touched a few "un-diagnosed" and those in "denial".

It's amazing what these kids are capable of, being on this planet a few short years!!

Let's make him our Honorary Spokesperson!
