weight gain

[GPa9]

My 3 year old granddaughter has gone from a active tiny girl to an overweight, sluggish, sleepy girl within the past 6 months.  It started with weight gain, she has a very big belly.  Lately she has been sleeping much more and doesn't want to do any type of 'physical' play.  Only coloring and reading.  My daughter took her to the dr. and her blood test showed increased levels of carbon dioxide.  She is going back in for more tests next week but she is just not the same.  Also on occassion she seems to have a blank, far off look in her eves.

Could be some concern she has about a new baby, children do get upset when babies arrive and get most of the attention .,maybe heard a lot of talk ..it may be a good idea to wait to see what the tests say that I assume the Doctor has ordered. Lot on the internet about cushings .Good Luck.

What has changed in her life , new home , new sibling, does she eat a lot hence the weight gain? What would be a days food for her ,and exercise is a good thing, so not wanting to have any physical activity should not be an option, children follow where we lead them, does her Mom take her out, parks,walks fun ..Plenty of healthy snacks and foods out there, what did the Doc tor say about the increased carbon ? .
