The risdiplam has certainly extended her shelf life. I'm sure it won't complete arrest the progression of her SMA but has probably slowed it considerably, leaving her grumbling along in her current state for a while.
Will she live to 80? very much doubt it. could she push into her 40s? 50s? maybe possible.
But she is still a sitting duck for respiratory infections, and aspiration pneumonia could also get her based on her difficulties with swallowing. Her lung function before the pregnancy wasn't great, I'm sure it's no better now.
