Hi, welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
It's really unfortunate that your son has spinal muscular atrophy.
At present, there is no definite treatment of spinal muscular atrophy in medical science.
We have to take care of respiratory distress and pneumonia in child because as the child grows the muscles of respiratory system becomes weak and lead to pneumonia.
Physiotherapy should be done to increase muscle strength.
Take care.
