Errol Milner Clifford 2006-2009

Errol Milner Clifford was born with a significant heart defect and a cognitive disability that prevented him from walking or talking. As we grieved the child we had anticipated, Errol’s full-bodied smile and irrepressible laugh turned our sorrow into joy, and taught us that many of the best things in life are unexpected. Inspired by Errol’s delightful spirit, friends, family, and neighbors rallied to support our family’s significant emotional, physical, and financial needs, through countless acts of selfless generosity. When Errol’s courageous heart finally failed him on December 23, 2009 we were left numb with grief. In these dark hours we listen hopefully for the echoes of Errol’s brilliant laugh. This blog is the story (starting from present and working back to Errol's birth) of the life and times of the amazing Errol Clifford.

Flat as a pancake


The iron is already doing the trick, and just 24 hours later, Errol is markedly less puffy and rashy. Cary just gave him a cool little hair cut, and Errol looks fantastic. His descent into anemia was slow, and it's only now that he's back to his old self that we have realized just how much he had declined. And boy is he back. Errol is wiggling around like crazy and hooting like mad. At this rate, he'll be walking by morning. It's great to have little Earl back again. We'll all be taking iron from now on.
