Thank you for coming to visit Christopher's web page. Please take a moment to sign our guestbook. If you are a parent with a child that has lissencephaly, feel free to leave your contact information, as we would love to chat. If you are a parent whose child has just been diagnosed with any type of lissencephaly, I can understand every emotion that you are going through. Although I don't have some issues that are so common with lissencephaly, I think we all share the common thread of creating new wishes and dreams for our children. I knew my life was going to change when I had a child, but no one could have prepared me for the magnitude of changes that have taken place. Although I worry about what the future holds, I am honored to be the voice for my son who cannot yet advocate for himself.
Christopher is special, but not because he is a child with a disability. He has the power to teach us so many things, if we are willing to listen. It took me a while to see that, and I will forever be grateful to him. For every tear I shed over his condition, he gives me 100 reasons to laugh and smile. I can honestly say that having Christopher in my life has made me a better person.

My purpose with this web page is to help others get to know Christopher a little better, and to connect with other parents who have children with lissencephaly. Had Christopher not been born with lissencephaly, I never would have met some of the greatest people I have ever known. There is no parent that I admire more than the parents I have met at each Lissencephaly Conference I have had the pleasure to attend.
