i was talking to my mom who used to do respiratory therapy and told her his symptom and she was asking about him stopping breathing and then i remembered. a few random times he gasps like he's just had a horrible nightmare and then his eyes get wide like he's seen a ghost and then he jumps up and almost throws up from gagging and choking.

mom said yep that's prob sleep apnea and he's stopped breathing and chokes in air to wake up and breathe.

so off to the dr. we'll be going. prayers would be nice.
