Hello and welcome. My name is Kaitlyn Anne and I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. Children born with SMA 1 gradually lose strength in their nervous systems and die, usually by the age of two. There is no known cure or long-term treatment. SMA not only affects the muscles that help me move, but it also affects those that allow me to breathe, swallow and clear my airway.

Mouth Breathers!
Both my boys seem to have a little bug. Owen has been sneezing up a storm the past two days. He has had a dry cough also. Now today Alexander has had a stuffy nose, and he is breathing through his mouth. Poor little guy! He's a thumb sucker....he has to pause every few seconds for air. They seem fine other than these minor symptoms, but boy do I cringe everytime one of them sneezes. I can't help but think, oh boy...here we go again! Hopefully this won't develop into anything much, and will bypass Kaitlyn.
