We would drive to the ER and then maybe it would pass so we never had her checked out at the hospital prior to her pre-kindergarten year of school. Her teacher contacted us and said that she keeps complaining of her chest hurting, and that they might be chest pains. That’s when we took her for blood work immediately,” said her Mom, Jenny Jamison. They share Attie’s journey with pancreatitis, her TPIAT surgery, and what life is like for Attie now.
