@rer3family Is the oxigen need more serious then a ventilator or is ventilator I am wondering which is more serious. I have heard of ventilation for all types SMA1, ALS, SCI quads, to name a few illnesses and accidents a nuro disabled with kidney person can end on dialysis, vent, and feedind tube situation. just trying to figure it out. How has Owen been doing since his brother Nate passed away? I hope Owen is doing well.

I recognize very much of Nathan's equipment. I also have SMA, but type 2. I live in Sweden and I'm not very good at english.
I'm thinking of you. Hugs //Emma

Ventilation is more important because they don't have the muscle strength to get the deep breaths they need, which then affects the oxygenation. Oxygen is very important obviously but if they get the ventilation they need they usually don't need the oxygen unless they are sick. Some kids get proper ventilation thorugh bi-pap (assisted ventilation) non-invasively, but others who are weaker need a trach and pure vent which is done by surgery. Every child is different.

what do the slings do

They are used for exercise. He can move his legs pretty well when they are lifted and you take gravity away. The slings support his legs and arms so he can kick and move. We put on music and he "dances". He loves it!
