The Mull family.
Christopher is surrounded by the love and support of his parents
Karen and Kevin and his 3 siblings.
Connor (7) is in the first grade loves to play lacrosse and
soccer . He likes school, but says he is “more ready for the end
of the day when he can come home and have fun with his
siblings”. Connor surprises us daily at how grown up he has
become and how quickly he is changing into a young boy. Connor
fills his roll as the oldest with no problem. He is always ready
to carry an extra bag into the house, run after his little
sister, help with an extra chore and more. We are lucky to have
such a great helper.
Casey (5) is our sweet and funny guy. He can’t wait to go to
kindergarten next year at “Connor’s school” . He often times
wears the school uniform to his preschool just so he can look
like Connor. Casey enjoys puzzles, school, playing with friends
and riding his bike. He plays soccer - but I can’t say he enjoys
or is very good at it yet. Casey keeps our family in check,
slows us down to remind us of all the little things in life and
finds pleasure in everyday activities. Casey could give out 100
hugs and still be ready to cuddle some more.
Christopher (3) is our special boy. Despite the medical issues
he has faced in his short life so far, he is nearly always
happy. He greets every passerby with a big “hi” and anxiously
awaits there returned response. His runs with open arms and a
huge smile to greet anyone who comes to the house and Kevin and
I as we come home from work.
Catherine “Callie” (1) is our only girl and she knows it. She is
tickled by the fact that her brother’s enjoy her so much. She
and Christopher are great companions. Callie motivates
Christopher to keep one step ahead. Fortunately, Callie doesn’t
mind playing the girl role and after much effort we have
successfully interested her in dolls! We are confident that
Callie will continue to be a close companion and support to
Christopher.
As
a family we feel blessed with 4 wonderful children. We are
thankful that Christopher has both older and younger siblings
that adore him. Christopher’s seizures will continue to be an
issue, but he will fortunately never have to face this alone.
