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.

Hospital Update

Errol had his heart catheterization today. He is out of surgery and is sleeping off the anesthesia in his hospital room where he will be staying overnight. The surgery went well and soon we should have a good idea when his next surgery will be. I'll update you as more information becomes available. Thanks for your many thoughts of Errol today. We feel the love all the way up on the 11th floor of Baptist Hospital.
