2010 Calendar For A Cause

Here is a brief version of Brandons story:
When Brandon was about 4 weeks old he began having Grand Mal seizures. The seizures took him to St. Chris Hospital in Philadelphia, PA for close to a month. With no real answers they let him go home with medication to control the seizures.
4 Months later, Brandon was diagnosed with multiple neurological disorders. He had constant therapy for Hypertonia, feeding issues as well as Sensory Integration disorder. When Brandon was 2 1/2 he was diagnosed with Autism. His seizures were under control until he was 3, however, one day in June 2007, Brandon had several Grand Mal seizures. He was then diagnosed with Epilepsy.
Now, Brandon is on Medication everyday, a special diet and he receives therapy several days per week to help him with his numerous developmental delays. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not acknowledge Autism as a health crisis and refuse to pay for his needs.
Well its been a great year for Brandon. Brandon is now in mainstream Kindergarten and doing very well. The school he is going to is very supportive of Brandon and his needs. This year with the rise in Autism, the school now provides much needed services for special needs children.
As parents of an Autistic child we couldnt be more proud of Brandons accomplishments and we hope he continues to do well. Weve really been blessed beyond measure. The Hall family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone for their support and a special thank you to this years calendar sponsor Dans Camera City.
