Errol Milner Clifford: Award Winner

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.

Award Winner

Errol's nurse said that he was the best urinator of any heart baby she had ever had! I told her he had been practicing. Go Errol! We've already hit a couple of goals here in the PICU. Errol has gotten his breathing tube out, he's off insulin, and we're hoping to get him out of the bed and in arms today. The doctors and nurses are extremely happy with Errol's progress and so are we. We'll keep you updated.
