A Kid Who's Always Hungry (A Side Effect of Brain Surgery)
from Special Books by Special Kids (SBSK) · host Chris Ulmer
Wyatt was diagnosed with a brain tumor known as a hypothalamic hamartoma. After having surgery to remove this tumor, he is no longer able to control his appetite. Even a full meal will not satisfy his hunger because the part of the brain that regulates appetite was impacted during surgery. Doctors have even referred to this as "surgically induced Prader-Willi". Wyatt and his family want others to know that he is doing his best and they are proud of him.
