That's what I figured. Your brain needs to tell your lungs to breathe... if you're numbing out those signals, and your respiratory system is also being suppressed...

Thank you, Souxi. The message from Heath's family (to the right) was nice to read also. Not from my own experience, but from family and friends -- I know that losing a child is the hardest thing anyone can go through. That was nice of them to let us know that they'd spent that wonderful 2 weeks with Heath during Christmas.

That was a lovely pic of Heath, Souxi.

Not exactly news here, but Jonathan Dienst was on the Today show this morning. He talked about the combination of drugs bringing on respiratory failure. He also mentioned that federal authorities are looking into how Heath got so many different medications.
