We have had lots to celebrate this past holiday season.
"B", A, S and T" attended the Christmas Luncheon hosted each year at CLD and had a great time.
It wasn't too long ago that they were coming to the cafeteria for various activities and all the areas containing food had to be kept out of sight. "B, A, S and T" have Prader Willi Syndrome.
How wonderful that they could join in the festivities so successfully and enjoy themselves right along with all their friends.
Food abounded but they handled themselves with calm assurance.
Kudos to "B, A, S and T" for their success and kudos also to the staff who helped them to participate in such a joyous celebration.
It was great to have the four of you celebrate with us.
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic condition caused by abnormalities in chromosome 15. PWS affects both males and females of all races. In adulthood, Prader-Willi causes onset of hyperphagia (persistent urge to eat, lack of satiation) which can result in food foraging.
In the absence of diet management there is dramatic weight gain, the risk of morbid obesity and as a result an increased risk of serious health problems. Click the link above to learn more.
