Jojo Is Now Six Years Old!

Jojo did not have a party or a birthday cake today. He spent most of the day in the van watching his DVD while his Daddy and I lamented about the traffic and the rain. But the traffic and the rain did not dampen the spirit of our big boy. He waited patiently until we got to Cabela's. Then he just drove around and checked out the stuffed animals on display. He wasn't sure that we were in Cabela's until he saw the polar bear and then the elephant display.

What's a day in the life of a SMA child if not interrupted by cough assist sessions? We coughed Jojo 2x on the way to Baton Rouge, had to use the ambu bag in Cabela's once to help bring up his O2 sat, and had to use the cough assist again plus a breathing treatment on our way home.

We got back too late to pick up his cake (we left home late and had a couple of stops before Cabela's,) so Jojo just "had" a caramel sundae. He also opened one present. And as tired as he was, he still stayed up until after 11pm.

Tired birthday boy with his buddies...

Happy Birthday, our sweetheart! May you have many, many more birthdays to come. And may all your wishes (and ours, too!) come true!
