Welcome

This is a blog about my sweet son, Errol Milner Clifford.
I’ve created this blog for a number of reasons.
1)I think Errol will enjoy reading this (I hope he will be able to read) when he’s older (wouldn’t you?).
2)There’s lots of folks who love someone with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (to know one is to love one) who might find something worthwhile herein. When Errol was diagnosed with RTS we were shooting in the dark. We read everything we could get our eyes on, and I think it would have been comforting to have had a bit of a sketch of what awaited us (although it’s different for everyone).
3)With a newborn son fighting for his life in the hospital and a three year old at home wondering what the hell was going on, I had tons of extra time on my hands.
4)People ask about Errol all the time, and I don’t always know what or how much to say. I hope this will answer all of your generous questions.
5)Errol’s Cool (with a capital C).
6)It helps me to make sense of this crazy and wonderful gift we call life.

If you are like me, you won’t have time to read every word of this rather obese blog, so browse through the archives (it's a chronological narrative starting back in October 2006, which later widens into more general musings on Errol's story), or if you are really busy, just look at the pictures throughout the blog and make up your own story. And as they say, when life gives you lemons, make a martini.

Enjoy. Errol loves you.
