Emma is joined on the podcast by Rhonda Greig. Rhonda is the first person on the podcast to tell a story about central sleep apnea. Topics covered include:
* Rhonda coping with symptoms of exhaustion but keeping up with her friends as a teenager;
* Going to the hospital and the nurse calling a "code blue" because Rhonda's lips were blue from lack of oxygen;
* Rhonda being on life support and doctors no knowing what was wrong;
* Recovery and continuing with college classes;
* Mental health impacts and Rhonda's decision to see a therapist and start anti-depressants;
* The Philips CPAP recall and Rhonda learning that her ventilator was on the list of recalled machines.
