Jenniffer was 21 years old at the time of her passing and was diagnosed with GSD Type 1 at the age of three months.
While we (and later she) were able to adequately manage the GSD thru G tube feedings of cornstarch throughout her life, over the past three years she had experienced numerous bouts of pancreatitis. The doctors were not sure what was causing the repeated episodes, but she was being seen by a specialist and she was improving. Late last week she unexpectedly had another episode of pancreatitis and her conditioned worsened. She passed away of shock from pancreatitis early Sunday morning. We are devastated by her loss.
