This is Brandan Brandan

UPDATED! April 2003: Brandan is now 9 years old as of 15 March 2003. He is in the 3rd grade and is having behavior problems in the classroom.
He is quite impulsive and this leads to his problems at school. He is a sweet boy at home and we love him very much. We do not know any others with this problem and would like to hear from families experiencing the same difficulties. Brandan is 3 1/2 years old. He weighs 87 pounds and is 3 feet 4 inches tall. He is losing his vision, has asthma, high blood pressure, speech problems, and trouble walking from the weight.

Brandan attends school for children with learning disabilities. It is very difficult for his mother, Sherry, to find clothes for him. He has wide feet that curve-in, so finding shoes is also hard.

Brandan's mother is afraid because the doctors are talking about giving him diet pills and/or stapling his stomach because of his increased weight.

Brandan is a sweet lovable child with many obstacles to overcome.
